I do know you’ve been posting about this for a long time.  I appreciate it.  NQ is about the only blog I follow, as I am busy with some teaching, kids, animals, working on a family history project now for my mom’s family — you get the picture.

I just couldn’t understand exactly what they did wrong.  Was it something about not giving a subpoena to the people in the DNC who asked he be put on the ballot?  I had been waiting for the news, but hadn’t heard anything.  And, of course, I’d have to get out my magnifying glass to find anything about it in my local newspaper. 

If one little old lady in a midwestern town, that would be me, can find the “resources” to get at as much of the truth as is possible, then I would believe that almost anyone, who wants the truth, can do so.

I call the behavior stupid because I think it is. That’s something we are all guilty of from time to time. And it is, just my opinion.

Gingrich’s new money bag is a “maverick” who has a grudge against Mitt Romney from way back. I guess that makes him better than all the other “old boys.”

 
The rest of your comment is simply opinion. Mine differs.

Come on, almost every politician has the “I thing”.  I think if you would take out your earplugs you would hear Newt saying we quite often.  He frequently says I started this or I organized something but then he very often follows with we had success or we were able to…

If it comes down to likeability, we just as well cede the election to Obama. Could it be that he doesn’t have the backing of the Republican establishment because he doesn’t do or look at things in the usual, routine, conventional way that things have been done for years which often results in toes being stepped on?

Oh well, as I have said, I will vote ABO but think that if as appears I will have to be voting for Romney I will have vogted for the loser against Obama.

Have to agree with you that if the voter has the resources/means to do the research and then votes a certain way he/she should not complain about being knowing after they have voted.

Don’t know as I would accept your statement of democrats being mostly liberal and republicans mostly conservative.  During my years as a registered democrat I met many, many democrats who considered themselves either socially or fiscally conservative.  I considered myself fiscally conservative but felt government should help people when it could (more in the sense of a hand up and not a hand out).

As far as your comment about the establishment I, and I think you may very well see that a great many other so-called republican and independent voters) am turned off by the establishment pretty much picking our candidate for us. In Romney’s case where is the money coming from for his ads and Super Pac ads?  I think you will find that a great part of it is coming from the good old boys in the back room and/or corporate board room.  I know Gingrich’s Super Pac money is coming from one individual who may in the past have been in with the back room and/or corporate board room group but in this instance is being a maverick.

I know LJ, you and quite a few other posters here will never agree on who oujr candidate should be.  I am of the opinion that Newt is the only candidate who can shake up things in Washington D.C. and I think that that is what needs to be done.  I don’t see Romney changing much of anything, except maybe getting people back to work if he gets elected which I highly doubt happens.  I believe Obama will wipe the floor with him on the health care issue and boy how the very rich 1%er is going to be vilified.

DLC, FYI, on this very NoQuarter blog, in August 2008, I posted for the first time my 3:00 AM epiphany for people upset the man they believe is Constitutionally ineligible to be President might end up in the WH: file a challenge to keep the (presumed) nominee off state ballots, in those states with laws that only allow the state to print the names on the ballot of those candidates qualified for the job.

Now would you tell us in everyday, non-legalese, what you just told us.  I don’t consider myself stupid, but I swear that lawyers talk and write in a code meant to keep us from really knowing what happened.

The SoS allowed the name of Barack Obama on the ballot using bad rules. That is, he carried out his ministerial duty to oversee elections by using rules that allowed onto the ballot the name of a candidate for whom even the D’s refuse to provide documentary evidence available in the public record; is Constitutionally qualified for the job. Under the Nature of Proceedings, above, this would place the burden of proof back on Petitioner; the standard, a preponderance of the evidence (>50%). And that’s a good thing. If the burden remained on the SoS, he would argue, the rules are fine, and no one could demonstrate they haven’t worked to keep an unqualified candidate off the ballot. (Remember, nothing Petitioners argued could ever establish Obama is not a NBC.)

But with the burden of proof shifted to them, Petitioners could have made their case merely by issuing subpoenas for all of those officials involved in signing the 2008 Certification of Nomination from the DNC Services Corporation swearing the then nominee Obama was “duly nominated,” that is, vetted for Constitutional eligibility under the DNC Charter; and submitting this to the GA SoS in 2008 to get his name printed on the ballot. Again, the blueprint for this argument and the evidence which Petitioners could have submitted into the record to support this argument; is laid out in those citizen complaints.

Do you suppose any of the D witnesses would have shown up?  Again, under the Administrative Procedure rule regarding default (above), if a default issued, this means, the ALJ has the authority to ignore any input from these witnesses. But this absence would actually speak volumes. It would demonstrate for everyone to see what we – I -have been saying all along: everyone else is willing to explain why Barack Obama is a NBC but the official members of the D party. Not when it comes to answering the question for voters and constituents – see the evidence compiled in the citizen complaints to state A’sG – and not  when it comes to explaining his eligibility to an official judicial or administrative body.  No reasonable person could be expected to trust the word of people who refuse to back up their word with their presence at this proceeding.

The Case Official representing the Respondent SoS could only argue back, ‘We did what we always do; accept the representation of the candidate’s (presumptive) qualification, from the Party.’
…
IT WAS A GOOD TIME; IT WAS THE BEST TIME; IT WAS A PARTY

Both parties have over the last few years done their best to eliminate moderates. Democrats are nearly all “liberal” Democrats and Republicans are nearly all “conservative” Republicans. Anyone that isn’t is maligned as a DINO or a RINO. 

The “talking point” about the establishment is getting old. The voters in the primaries are the ones that pick the candidates. If they are stupid enough to make their decisions based on talking points then they deserve the people they get.

Okay, now I’m going to stop asking questions because they just get me riled up — although I do have an ulterior motive for asking the last one. It’s a long shot, but there might be one of you who read this who will know how I can capture, crop, edit videos downloaded from my DVR to my laptop.

DIANA! Pat Racimora, our NoQuarter cartoon artist, did a great job on that story — oh! I just found her post and she does have a video:http://www.noquarterusa.net/blog/64583/canada-for-president/
