More than 30,000 Florida felons who by law should have been stripped of their right to vote remain registered to cast ballots in this presidential battleground state, a Sun Sentinel investigation has found.
Many are faithful voters, with at least 4,900 turning out in past elections.
Another 5,600 are not likely to vote Nov. 4 — they're still in prison.
Of the felons who registered with a party, Democrats outnumber Republicans more than two to one.
Florida's elections chief, Secretary of State Kurt Browning, acknowledged his staff has failed to remove thousands of ineligible felons because of a shortage of workers and a crush of new registrations in this critical swing state.
Browning said he was not surprised by the newspaper's findings. "I'm kind of shocked that the number is as low as it is," he said.
Asked how many ineligible felons may be on Florida's rolls, Browning said, "We don't know."
The Division of Elections has a backlog of more than 108,000 possible felons who have registered to vote since January 2006 that it hasn't had the time or staff to verify. Browning estimated that about 10 percent, once checked, would be ineligible.
"This is part of a big mess," said Jeff Manza, professor of sociology at New York University and author of a book on felon voting. "It's almost certain there will be challenges if the election is close enough that things hinge on this. Both parties are armed to the teeth with legal talent in all the battleground states."
Florida's felon ban originated before the Civil War, and today the state remains one of 10 that restrict some felons from voting even after they've served their time. The law requires state and county elections officials to remove felons from voter rolls after conviction and add them only when they've won clemency to restore their voting rights.

Rising Energy Prices and the Falling Dollar
“Oil prices are on the minds of many Americans as gas hits $4 a gallon, and continues to surge. How high can prices go? How can we solve these problems? What, or who, is to blame?”
“Part of the answer lies in understanding bubbles and monetary inflation, but especially the Federal Reserve System. The Federal Reserve is charged with controlling inflation through interest rate manipulation, however, many fail to realize that creating money, and therefore inflation, is really its only tool. When the Federal Reserve inflates the dollar as drastically as it has in the past few decades, the first users of the newly created money go in search of investments for their dollars. They must invest this money quickly and aggressively before it loses value. This causes certain sectors to expand beyond what would naturally occur in the free market. Eventually the sector overheats and the bubble bursts. Overinvestment in dotcoms eventually led to a collapse of the NASDAQ. Next we had the housing bubble, and now we are seeing the price of oil being bid up in the creation of another new bubble. Investors are now looking to commodities like oil, for stability and growth as they pull capital out of real estate. This increased demand for investment vehicles related to oil contributes to driving up the price of the actual product.”

Huckabee complains about AIR TIME after debate
Huckle said he only recieved 12 minutes of air time at last nights debate and Romney received 21 minutes. Well I know Paul was allowed 6 interupted minutes. That leaves another 15-20 minutes for McCain.
Unfair? For who? Same old tricks and petty squablles. The only person with a solution for the economy was virtual silenced. Now you have Hucky crying about mistreatment. Hey im being hard because look at Paul, Gravel, Kucinich. Ok Gravel didnt have much support but neither did Thompson.
I included the videos so you can judge whos being ignored.
well thats what you get apparently the supporters for Ghoulie, McPain, Dont make videos for them.
S. Florida newspaper: Ron Paul can’t win but his stupid crazy supporters will support him anyway.
More slander for Dr. Paul. The crazy people must believe in something. They know theres thousands of us. They will discredit us but look at how deep we are. They can rig there elections and have millions of voters claiming there vote didnt count and just bury it in the news. Not no more were exposing you. We need more home videos of the primary to see whats realy going on. Theres not alot of videos coming out they might be getting confiscated like our signs.

CNN-Huckabee quotes Ron Paul on the Economy..BITER!
Huckabee quotes Paul when asked about the tax stimulus" Were borrowing the money from the Chinese" Blah Blah
Another politician who's says what you want top hear. They ignored Dr Paul when he brought this up at the debate and now Huckabe get 15 minutes on CNN.
Hes goes on justifying the war by saying "When your in the game you have to make quick decisions, there not perfect all the time, your going to make mistakes".
Have you watched the New England Patriots?
When you have a great leader like Tom Brady he'll guide you Through tough times avoid the mistakes and use good judgement. If the coach started calling questionable plays you think and had fraudulent information on the defence. You think he would listen? Knowing it was on his shoulders.
Mentions changing the CONSTITUTION..........
Ill add the video later this was live at 11:30
As promised
