Pushing the fake tea party agenda has been Roff's big theme for the last couple years - of course with money from his Koch Addiction.
Did you notice the Koch's response to the Wisconsin protests flopped - with their standard bus tour full of out-of-state carpetbagging rabble rousers and other paid mercenaries like Roff. Same lies -different paint job.
Walker and Roff are sipping from the same well, both are mortgaged to the Koch's and their virulent John Bircher hatemonger agenda.

The author is making hte point that what allegedly happened in Michigan is one aspect of election fraud, one aspect of many. The solutions he proposes are designed to get at the larger issue of voter fraud, not to prevent the Michigan stuff from happening again. So you explain: why is is wrong to require that people prove they are who they say they are before they vote by showing a picture ID?

If those guys in Michigan broke the law, they should certainly be prosecuted and punished. But excuse me, what does this have to do with same-day registration and photo IDs???? How would such measures have prevented this from happening? Measures like that are thinly-veiled attempts to limit the electorate to those who can be counted on to vote "properly".

All liberals can do is call us racist and "far right"... so when that is not enough to win an election, they do this... typical.

“Survey: Four in 10 Tea Party members are Democrats or independents”

You need to read the article again with comprehension. They were FAKE. A scam to divide votes so hopefully Democrat would win.
“A common tactic has been to try to link Democrat opponents to Wall Street and the mortgage meltdown; long-time Democratic dinosaur John Dingell even tried to link his Republican opponent, a cardiologist, to Wall Street. But I have seen it over and over -- always promoting the canard that opponents of the Democrats are profiteers from the 2008 crisis (a disaster that greatly enriched George Soros, the Democrats' number-one patron and the top funder of 527 groups such as MoveOn.org, and a major backer of influential think-tanks such as the Center for American Progress, Obama's Idea Factory -- all tools of the Democrats to gain and keep power).”

These Democrats in jail has a nice ring to it. Can bunk in with Acorn workers there.

Frankly, I am dismayed and sickened when I see lying and corruption on either side of the fence. Growing up, I was taught in school that our public officials represent us, and the implication was that they were to be looked up to.
About a year ago, a Gallup poll was conducted to determine Congress' approval rating. It was at 16%.
'Americans hold Congress in far less esteem than they do the president -- 16% approve and 80% disapprove of the job Congress is doing, according to the latest update from a March 4-7 Gallup poll. That is just two points off the record-low 14% Gallup measured in July 2008. Gallup has been measuring congressional approval since 1974.'

The people of America don't have a lot of faith in politicians, that is certain.

Why shouldn't democratic Tea Party supporters put their candidates on the ballet? GOP puts their Tea Party supporters on the ballot and nobody calls that a scam?
Haven't these Tea Party weasles been claiming they have bipartisan support and they will put their own Tea Party candidates on the ballot?
Gurgle when you are tired of having a Koch rammed down your throat.
