With DOJ in mix, will Democrats try to pull a Franken in Wisconsin?

New Black Panther Party members showed up, weapon in hand, at a Philadelphia precinct in 2008. The man in the foreground actually brandished the nightstick as a poll watcher asked questions. Obama’s Justice Dept. made little of the obvious case of voter intimidation, an action based purely on racial tenets. (Photo: Screen snip, YouTube)All eyes are on Wisconsin as voters in that state head to the polls to pick candidates in an election centered on the recall of Gov. Scott Walker. Walker hadn’t even served a year before partisan Dems aided by out-of-state interests began to push the recall.

Now the Dept. of Justice is beating political war drums, declaring in a public announcement that DOJ will monitor elections in some counties.

That begs questions.  Who will monitor DOJ? Will Democrats try to pull a Franken after Tuesday’s votes are tallied?

Biden allegedly sees ‘terrorists’ in Congress; Putin says U.S. a ‘parasite’


V.P. Joe Biden denies calling fiscal conservatives in Congress 'terrorists.' Biden is famous for his gaffes. [Official White House photo]Democrats often find their inner drama queen during a political battle. Former Rep. Alan Grayson (Republicans want you to die) and Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (If you want smaller government, you are a RACIST)—those are working examples of what I’m talking about.

Some Dems even resort to costumes.  Oregon Rep. David Wu dressed up as a tiger and flashed the image to his staffers. At least he was clothed. Most of America has become eminently familiar with the bottom half of drama queen N.Y. Rep. Anthony Weiner’s anatomy—he’s practically a household name because of his Twitter habit.

During debt talks with Democrats in Congress, Vice-President Joe Biden allegedly called fiscal conservatives in Congress (aka Tea Party supporters and/or sympathizers) “terrorists.” Biden denies he said it. Personally, I don’t buy his denial because calling FisCons names is a tactic straight out of the Democrat playbook.

‘Terrorists’ want feds to cut spending, balance budget

Sen. Al Franken's placard omitted a necessary comma.Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) turned to drama to get his point across in the debt debate. On Wednesday, Franken brought visual aids to the floor for his speech.

One placard read, “Welcome [sic] Terrorists.” No one cared that technically, without the comma, the placard made little sense. Socialists and their fellow progressives were just happy to see another insult leveled at those in Congress who have read the writing on the fiscal wall and know something must be done.

Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz (D-Fla.), who also heads up the Democratic National Committee, can also be counted on for unrestrained language, otherwise known as shooting her mouth off.
