Vote-Rigging' FL Congressman Denounces ACORN

MAJOR IRONY ALERT: 'Vote-Rigging' FL Congressman Tom Feeney Tells Fox News ACORN 'Destructive of Democracy'
Hopelessly Corrupt Rep Goes On to Compare the Community Organization to the KKK!...

Well, isn't this rich? Tom Feeney --- yes, that Tom Feeney, the one who is alleged to have commissioned vote-rigging software for touch-screen voting machines in 2000, as testified to by former Republican software programmer Clint Curtis in sworn affidavit, sworn testimony to congress, and successful polygraph test --- went on Fox "News" this week to decry unsubstantiated charges of "voter fraud" by the low-income voter registration community organization ACORN.

(And if you're done laughing...)

Feeney --- the man who, as Speaker of the FL House in 2000, also promised to award all of the state's electoral votes to George W. Bush no matter what the ballots and Supreme Court had to say about it --- then went on to compare ACORN to the KKK...

I believe every time ACORN gets a dead person to vote [ed note: they haven't], or an illegal alien [ed note: haven't done that either], or someone to vote 20 or 30 times [ed note: nope], they are cancelling out the votes of honest American citizens. This is destructive of our democracy.

I believe Acorn has violated more Americans' civil rights to have their votes counted than any group since the KKK. It's an outrage.

The hopelessly corrupt Feeney is in a desperate campaign to save his U.S. Congressional seat in FL's 24th district, against a challenge from Democrat Suzanne Kosmas (who recently defeated Curtis in the primary, after he had changed parties, in part, in order to try and unseat his former-colleague, Feeney.)

Feeney has also been seen on TV, of late, in his district, 'apologizing' in an embarrassing campaign ad, for having gone on a trip to play golf in Scotland with (and paid for by) disgraced Republican uber-lobbyist, Jack Abramoff.

RAW STORY has more, including the video of the laughable Feeney appearance on Fox "News" this week.



BTW... The terrifying new documentary film, Murder, Spies & Voting Lies, detailing the Feeney/Curtis vote-rigging scandal, and The BRAD BLOG's four year odyssey in reporting it, has now been released. It's also screening on LinkTV, and can be purchased --- signed by myself and filmmaker, Patty Sharaf --- as a premium in support of The BRAD BLOG right here.

UPDATE 10/12/08: Whoops, forgot to mention that if Feeney was actually concerned about voter fraud in his home state, he'd call for an immediate prosecution in this actual, documented, but still unprosecuted case of voter fraud in Florida!

The Ron Paul Campaign: The Glass is Half Full, by Rand Paul

by Rand Paul MD | March 17, 2008

Analysis of Ron Paul's success or failure seems to miss the mark. Many critics point to this or that ad or this or that tactic that prevented victory. I think such analysis misses the forest for the trees.

I believe that no candidate can win the presidency without day-in and day-out, constant television coverage. In other words, unless the media grants you first tier coverage, the electorate will not vote for you in significant numbers. A large percentage of voters will not vote for a candidate they don't believe can win and that belief in "winnability" is still entirely controlled by the MSM.
That said, I think we should revel in the extraordinary successes of the campaign.

Ron Paul began with nearly zero name recognition and was relegated from the beginning by all MSM media to the second tier. I believe pundits should recognize the great strides in achieving between 5 and 10% of the vote in almost every state and receiving 11% in a Rasmussen poll running as a third party candidate. Not to mention over 20% in several caucus states, including second place in Nevada, Montana, and Louisiana.

Ron Paul's name recognition nationally now likely exceeds 50% of the electorate.

Do You Hear the People Sing? - Ron Paul Edition

The prospect of American citizens turning away from the dollar towards alternate currencies will provide the necessary impetus to the US government to regain control of the dollar and halt its downward spiral. Restoring soundness to the dollar will remove the government's ability and incentive to inflate the currency, and keep us from launching unconstitutional wars that burden our economy to excess. With a sound currency, everyone is better off, not just those who control the monetary system. -Ron Paul

Ron Paul: What the Price of Gold is Telling Us

The financial press, and even the network news shows, have begun reporting the price of gold regularly. For twenty years, between 1980 and 2000, the price of gold was rarely mentioned. There was little interest, and the price was either falling or remaining steady.

Since 2001 however, interest in gold has soared along with its price. With the price now over $1000 an ounce, a lot more people are becoming interested in gold as an investment and an economic indicator. Much can be learned by understanding what the rising dollar price of gold means.

The rise in gold prices from $250 per ounce in 2001 to over $1000 today has drawn investors and speculators into the precious metals market. Though many already have made handsome profits, buying gold per se should not be touted as a good investment. After all, gold earns no interest and its quality never changes. It’s static, and does not grow as sound investments should.

It’s more accurate to say that one might invest in a gold or silver mining company, where management, labor costs, and the nature of new discoveries all play a vital role in determining the quality of the investment and the profits made.

Buying gold and holding it is somewhat analogous to converting one’s savings into one hundred dollar bills and hiding them under the mattress – yet not exactly the same. Both gold and dollars are considered money, and holding money does not qualify as an investment. There’s a big difference between the two however, since by holding paper money one loses purchasing power. The purchasing power of commodity money, i.e. gold, however, goes up if the government devalues the circulating fiat currency.

Holding gold is protection or insurance against government’s proclivity to debase its currency. The purchasing power of gold goes up not because it’s a so-called good investment; it goes up in value only because the paper currency goes down in value. In our current situation, that means the dollar.

One of the characteristics of commodity money – one that originated naturally in the marketplace – is that it must serve as a store of value. Gold and silver meet that test – paper does not. Because of this profound difference, the incentive and wisdom of holding emergency funds in the form of gold becomes attractive when the official currency is being devalued. It’s more attractive than trying to save wealth in the form of a fiat currency, even when earning some nominal interest. The lack of earned interest on gold is not a problem once people realize the purchasing power of their currency is declining faster than the interest rates they might earn. The purchasing power of gold can rise even faster than increases in the cost of living.

The point is that most who buy gold do so to protect against a depreciating currency rather than as an investment in the classical sense. Americans understand this less than citizens of other countries; some nations have suffered from severe monetary inflation that literally led to the destruction of their national currency. Though our inflation – i.e., the depreciation of the U.S. dollar – has been insidious, average Americans are unaware of how this occurs. For instance, few Americans know nor seem concerned that the 1913 pre-Federal Reserve dollar is now worth only four cents. Officially, our central bankers and our politicians express no fear that the course on which we are set is fraught with great danger to our economy and our political system. The belief that money created out of thin air can work economic miracles, if only properly “managed,” is pervasive in D.C. .
