| Yes, we lost. But I don’t think it’s necessarily fair to say that ACORN stole the election, do you? PPP´s first post election national poll finds that Republicans are taking the results pretty hard...and also declining in numbers. 49% of GOP voters nationally say they think that ACORN stole the election for President Obama. We found that 52% of Republicans thought that ACORN stole the 2008 election for Obama, so this is a modest decline, but perhaps smaller than might have been expected given that ACORN doesn´t exist anymore.

Although the name Acorn may not exist, the org still does. I cannot believe that Romney got less votes than McPain as he was a better candidate. And that donkey, Obomination, is running around like he won in a landslide when he also got less votes.

Democrat voter fraud is wise spread, and comes in many forms. How about the 140% turn out in St. Lucie county Fl. Or 90% of Philly precincts with not one vote for Romney. Or witnessed rigged voting machines, dead voters, animals, senile and mentally handicapped led into voting booths ? seiu busing voters from one county to another to vote again. Lost or denied military ballots. All done in critical swing states.

Bigger issue than vote fraud is media corruption that does not hold this administration accountable. I spent today (in mandatory annual training) hearing about government accountability and transparency. At a time when this government acts like there are NO checks and balances, the agency I work for sells the little people a bill of goods about Good Government. The disconnect is amazing.

This is a lousy article. I don´t know who this Doherty guy is, but the snarkiness level of this is worthy of CNN, not Townhall. And FYI Daniel, the GOP´s best shot at retaking the Senate was in 2012, not 2014. And we´ve seen the results. 2014 isn´t going to be any better than 2012, and we can probably forget about 2016 as well. Until we tackle the entitlement culture head on, the GOP will be lucky to win anything, let alone a national election.

One of the biggest problems is we have no way to do any integrity checks to confirm that results are valid. In most cases, there´s no paper trail at all, and its far too easy to hack the network of the voting system to alter the results. Does anyone think that for the control of a $5 Trillion budget the dims wouldn´t devise ways to hack the voting system?

My theory...As NO ONE has EVER given the American people a complete and accurate accounting of the Eight Hundred Billion dollar stimulus money, I believe a BIG hunk of the money was passed out to labor unions who now have unlimited seed money for their GOTV efforts. We´ve heard reports from citizen´s who witnessed busloads of Somali´s at the polls. Who paid for the buses? Were these voters coming to the polls as an act of good citizenship or were they paid? What about early voting...that seems like an invitation to cheat for anyone dishonest.
Yes, I´m disgusted with the Dem´s but equally disqusted with a Republican party incapable of foreseeing the very real possibility that the Dem´s would cheat! Where were the poll watchers and the ARMY of attorney´s I expected to see challenging irregularities?

How about we all Google "voter fraud St. Lucie" and see if there´s any other explanation for the 140% "turnout". Of course, it could be that Florida´s Republican Governor and Secretary of State are complicit in the anti-Romney conspiracy. In that case, the ringleader must be Romney himself since he has refused to take any action to correct this egregious violation of his rights and ours. I find it implausible that Romney would allow any such thing. Mitt Romney is many things, but he is not someone who would stand by and let his opponent win by cheating. Romney knows he lost. His supporters should acknowledge that and stop trying to retroactively stuff the ballot box in his name.

Immigration wasn´t the main issue in the 2010 New Hampshire Senate race. But it was a topic of great interest for many Republican voters, and GOP candidate Kelly Ayotte took a pretty hard line. Rather than calling for comprehensive immigration reform, Ayotte stressed tightening border security and enforcing existing laws. "In the Senate, Kelly´s top immigration priority will be to secure our borders -- no excuses," said her campaign website. "Simultaneously, she will work to ensure that existing immigration laws are enforced, and is against amnesty."

I can’t see a single reason why a man whose son turned out to be a terrorist should be suspected of presiding over a mosque that in any way promotes terrorism. That’s just crazy. “I believe in all my heart that this is somewhat of a discrimination,” said Shafik Hammami. The Islamic Society of Mobile has called East Drive home for over 20 years. The buildings however, are much older, and that’s why Hammami wants to rebuild. But many residents in the area are against building a bigger building, saying traffic is a major problem.

The “Gang of Eight” immigration bill pushing through the Senate right now legalizes America’s at least 11 million illegal immigrants first, then promises to improve border security later, but the constituents of Iowa--according to the state’s GOP senator--think that border security should come before legalization. Senate Judiciary Committee ranking member Chuck Grassley (R-IA) said during a Monday Senate floor speech opening up the debate on immigration that his constituents are not pleased with the Gang of Eight proposal. “If you want to know how important securing the border is, just come to my town hall meetings,” Grassley said.

The IRS wants to secure the surveillance equipment quickly – it posted a solicitation on June 6 and is looking to close the deal by Monday, June 10. The agency already has a company lined up for the order but is not commenting on the details. “The Internal Revenue Service intends to award a Purchase Order to an undisclosed Corporation,” reads the solicitation.

Meaning: the CIA could use a proxy to kill him for revealing that Barack Obama has presided over an unimaginable – to the ordinary citizen – expansion of the Federal government´s powers of surveillance over anyone. Libertarians and conspiracy theorists of both Left and Right will never forget this moment. Already we have Glenn Beck hailing Snowden on Twitter: Courage finally. Real. Steady. Thoughtful.

Mickey Kaus has produced an excellent, easy-to-use “pocket guide” to the reasons why the Schumer-Rubio immigration reform bill (S.744) is fraudulent. Kaus catalogues the provisions of the bill that promise tough future enforcement, etc. but don’t do what they pretend to do: “Multiple triggers” — Legalization is immediate. DHS just has to write border “plan.” The most any “triggers” can possibly do is delay green cards and citizenship. “90% effectiveness” — If not reached, triggers only toothless commission “Pay back taxes” — Only if already “assessed” by IRS (unlikely). Newly legalized may instead get refunds. “Learn English” — Only need to sign up

The move reunites Tebow with Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels, who was the Broncos' head coach when Denver traded into the first round to draft the Heisman Trophy winner in 2010. Patriots head coach Bill Belichick often has spoken with admiration for Tebow's versatility, intelligence and character.

The contradictions at the heart of the Obama presidency are finally out in the open. As a result, a man who came into office hellbent on restoring faith in government is on the verge of inspiring a libertarian revival. There have always been (at least) two Barack Obamas. There is the man who claims to be a nonideological problem-solver, keen on working with anybody to fix things. And there is The One: the partisan, left-leaning progressive-redeemer.

Edward Snowden should go to jail, as quickly and for as long as possible. This is a leak case that should be difficult for even Eric Holder to bungle. Snowden has already confessed in public to the crime of leaking classified information. He has said in public how he did it, that he did it with intent, and that he knowingly harmed our national security. Holder will finally find a leaker that he can prosecute.

One of the more effective arguments used by those arguing for same-sex marriage and sexual orientation anti-discrimination laws is that homosexuals have no choice in the matter -- that sexual orientation is something that you are born with, and you can´t change it. The claim is that this is a natural part of human variability, no different from skin color or hair color or how tall you are. (snip) There is pretty persuasive evidence that what determines sexual orientation, at least for some homosexuals, is environmental.

The fiftieth anniversary of the first woman in space is a fitting hook to look back over the long process of enabling gender-independent access to the final frontier. One of the interesting secondary tales associated with this theme is the campaign story offered by Hillary Clinton that, in 1961–2, she wrote to NASA about her interest on becoming an astronaut, and they dismayed and angered her by replying, “We don’t take girls.” (snip) The story is clearly politically useful, and comments on its actual authenticity have predictably split along partisan lines.
