Enough to make up for the -2.9% in the GDP. These jobs are just hyped for fools like yourself. They will change nothing about a failing economy.

Good one.

Scott Walker Supporter Charged With Major Voter Fraud Claims Amnesia



Said Scott Walker, " Ah .. ahhh .. bullshit-choooo!"

A supporter of Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) has been charged with over a dozen counts of election fraud -- though he reportedly claims a form of temporary amnesia has left him unable to recall his actions.

In an indictment filed in Milwaukee County court on Friday, Robert Monroe, 50, of Shorewood, Wis., was charged with 13 felony counts of election fraud, each of which could carry up to three and a half years in prison, or a $10,000 fine, upon conviction. Monroe is accused of registering to vote in more than one place, voting where he didn't live, voting more than once in the same election, and providing false information to election officials.

The indictment said that Monroe, a health insurance executive, "became especially focused upon political issues and causes" in 2011 and 2012, and was particularly invested in the recall elections that followed the state's fight over public employees' collective bargaining rights. Monroe allegedly cast at least two ballots in three elections (an April 2011 Supreme Court election, an August 2011 state Senate recall election, and the 2012 presidential election) and cast five ballots in the state's June 2012 gubernatorial recall.

Monroe's attorney did not respond to a request for comment from TPM on Tuesday.

According to WisPolitics.com's Marie Rohde, who first reported about the Monroe indictment on Saturday, investigative documents that were recently released indicate Monroe was a supporter of both Walker and state Sen. Alberta Darling (R). (Wisconsin campaign finance records show that Monroe has given small amounts of money to Walker and Darling's campaign efforts in recent years.) Rohde also reported that when Monroe was confronted by investigators, he "claimed to have a form of temporary amnesia and did not recall the election day events."

The investigation began with suspicions not about Monroe, but about his son, Benjamin Monroe, who authorities thought double voted in the 2012 recall. At the time, Benjamin Monroe lived with his mother in Waukesha, Wis., where he voted, but authorities also received an absentee ballot with Benjamin Moore's name on it in Shorewood -- where his father lived. The investigation ultimately led them to the older Monroe. The indictment also lays out how Monroe allegedly managed to vote five times Walker's 2012 recall election:

• On May 23, Monroe allegedly cast an in-person absentee ballot in Milwaukee using his mother's old Milwaukee address.

• On May 31, the Shorewood Clerk's Office received an absentee ballot in Benjamin Monroe's name -- which Benjamin later denied filling out. (Investigators said they later found Robert Monroe's DNA on the absentee envelope.)

• On June 2, the Shorewood Clerk's Office received an absentee ballot in the name of Grant Mueller, the son of Robert Monroe's girlfriend -- which Mueller later denied filling out. (Investigators said they later found Robert Monroe's DNA on the absentee envelope.)

• On June 5, election day, Robert Monroe voted under his own name in Shorewood.

• The same day, Monroe voted under his own name in Milwaukee.

The indictment states that Monroe received an MBA from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee in 2013, and has expressed interest in attending law school. According to The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Monroe is not in custody, and his initial court appearance is scheduled for July 17.

What about the Obama supporter being tried for manslaughter and fraud?
I am sure you saw the post.

If that is true, good luck with that. It will never happen, and just the suggestion is abhorrent.

Former county Republican Party treasurer again found guilty of murder

For the second time, a former Clark County Republican Party treasurer has been found guilty of killing his former wife and her father.

After a six-day trial and about 90 minutes of deliberation, a District Court jury on Tuesday found John Chartier guilty of two counts of first-degree murder and one count of conspiracy to commit murder for the deaths of Rachel Bernat and Carlos Aragon.

Bernat and Aragon were stabbed multiple times and left for dead at their home in 2004 by Chartier's friend, David Wilcox. Prosecutors said Wilcox acted out of loyalty when Chartier asked him to kill Bernat, 43, and Aragon, 65.

Prosecutors said the crime was rooted in a bitter custody dispute over the couple's young son. Bernat was planning to move to New Mexico with the boy.

Chartier and Wilcox were found guilty of the two murders in 2006, but the Nevada Supreme Court overturned Chartier's conviction two years later, saying the 41-year-old should have received a separate trial.

On Wednesday, prosecutor Robert Daskas said, "Twenty-four people have now said he's guilty. I hope that's enough."

Defense attorney Robert Draskovich said the verdict will be appealed.

The key piece of evidence was a note that Chartier sent to Wilcox asking him to kill Bernat and Aragon, Daskas said. The note to Wilcox said, "Take out mom and grandpa," which prosecutors said referred to his son's mother and grandfather, Bernat and Aragon.

Chartier, who testified in his own defense, said he didn't remember writing the note because he was high on prescription drugs and rum in the midst of a suicide attempt.

But prosecutors discredited his story on cross-examination by pointing out that the note to Wilcox was intelligible and cohesive and written in the same style as other notes Chartier admitted writing before the drugs and alcohol took effect.

Chartier's suicide attempt took place 26 months before the murders. Chartier also had instructed Wilcox to destroy the note so police wouldn't find it.

After the trial, jury members told prosecutors that Chartier's testimony wasn't credible, Daskas said.

"By the time he was done testifying, he had sealed his own fate," Daskas said.

When asked why Chartier ignored conventional wisdom and took the stand in his own defense, Draskovich said his client had "a very strong desire to testify."

Jurors also heard a graphic 911 call that was made by Bernat's mother, Iola Jean Taylor, as Wilcox attacked Bernat and Aragon. On the 911 tape Taylor sobbed, "They're killing my daughter." Bernat could be heard screaming in the background.

Testimony Taylor had given at the first trial was read into the record during the second trial, because she has since passed away.

Wilcox, 47, is serving multiple life sentences without the possibility of parole at High Desert State Prison for the murders, according to prison records. An appeal by Wilcox for his conviction was denied by the state's high court.

A sentencing hearing for Chartier was scheduled for June 21 before Judge Donald Mosley.

Enough said. Can't you handle the fact Obama has been surrounded by unsavory people his whole life? And a Communist was his mentor and he got his political start in a terrorists living room. Poor baby Boob.

Minutemen Founder is Guilty of Murder

by Man EegeeFollow

When Jared Loughner opened fire in Tucson on January 8th at Rep. Gabrielle Gifford's Congress on Your Corner event, headlines understandably filled with the story and images of 9 year old victim Christina-Taylor Green. Her innocence and civic pride were rallying points in President Obama's speech to the nation in the days following the shooting, but I couldn't help but think about another 9 year old who lost her life in southern Arizona.

Her name was Brisenia Flores.

In 2009, she begged for her life before getting killed under orders by one of the founding members of the Minutemen Civil Defense Corp, just one of the many hydra-heads of border vigilante groups that roam the border region of Arizona. Today, justice was served:

A Pima County jury convicted Shawna Forde today of two counts of first-degree murder in the May 30, 2009 deaths of Arivaca residents Raul Junior Flores and his 9-year-old daughter, Brisenia.

The jury also convicted Forde of attempted first-degree murder in the shooting of Flores' wife, Gina Gonzalez, as well as related aggravated assault and robbery counts.

Gonzalez started crying as soon as the first guilty verdict, the killing of her daughter, was read just before noon in a packed courtroom at Pima County Superior Court.

The jury deliberated for seven hours over two days. Jurors will now be asked if the death penalty ought to be considered.

AZStarnet.com

The connection to the Minutemen and other so-called border defense groups is important to this story because Shawna Forde is just one point of the vigilante net that stretches across Cochise, Pima and Santa Cruz counties. One of her compatriots, who goes by the pseudonym Laine Lawless, made her own headlines last month during Forde's trial:

On Tuesday, Laine Lawless, who manages a web site called “Justice for Shawna Forde,” objected to being ordered from the courtroom but was ordered to leave.

On Wednesday morning, as Forde’s sister, Melanie Aranda, was being questioned on the stand, a woman in a black wig and wearing a black overcoat entered the courtroom and sat down behind detectives.

A detective turned around, realized it was Lawless, and got the attention of Deputy County Attorney Rick Unklesbay, who asked the court to stop proceedings.

The jury was led from the courtroom and Leonardo was informed of the situation.

“Ms. Lawless is standing here in some sort of disguise,” Unklesbay said.

Leonardo questioned Lawless as to why she was in apparent violation of his earlier order regarding witnesses.

Green Valley News

This piece of work is the founder of Border Guardians. You can use the Google for their site because I refuse to give their hate any traffic.

It's my belief and one shared by the SPLC that the fallout from the Flores murders is what caused the fracturing of the Minutemen Civil Defense Corp into several smaller vigilante groups - a network that has many ties to current Senate President & SB1070 author Russell Pearce. JT Ready anyone?

The fever has not broken in Arizona, yet, but with today's Guilty verdict we're one step closer to greater justice for those of us who are disproportionately affected by a broken immigration system. Please help me and many other Latino/Latina bloggers tell Brisenia Flores' story. It's our hope that this nine year old girl can have the same effect on the nation as Christina-Taylor Green, reminding us of our shared humanity, and bring about a more level-headed discussion to resolve the complicated issues that face us all.

Gracias.

You Teapublicans are a larcenous bunch!!!!

List of American federal politicians convicted of crimes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This list consists of American politicians convicted of crimes either committed or prosecuted while holding office in the federal government. It includes politicians who were convicted or pleaded guilty in a court of law; and does not include politicians involved in unprosecuted scandals (which may or may not have been illegal in nature), or politicians who have only been arrested or indicted. The list also does not include crimes which occur outside the politician’s tenure unless they specifically stem from acts while they were in office.

Although the convicted politicians are arranged by presidential terms starting with the most recent, many of the crimes have little or no connection to who is President.

Term limitation in action!

Kentucky Getting Ready to Ditch Mitch As Democrat Grimes Leads McConnell 48%-46%
By: Sarah Jones more from Sarah Jones
Thursday, June, 26th, 2014, 10:44 am



What looked like it could be an anomaly is beginning to look like a real thing in Kentucky. The Democratic challenger to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), Alison Lundergan Grimes, is leading in a new poll from Public Policy Polling (PPP) by 2 points, on the heels of McConnell’s primary win. That’s right — if this is McConnell’s post-primary bump, he’s in trouble.

The poll contains a flood of bad news for McConnell. Eighty-nine percent of respondents are more likely to vote for a candidate who will pass legislation to create jobs. By an 80%-14% margin, voters (including 70% of Republicans) want a candidate that will close tax loopholes on millionaires. Seventy-eight percent of voters want a candidate who will end gridlock and partisanship. Seventy-six percent want a candidate that will make sure that the rich and corporations pay their fair share of taxes, and by a margin of 63%-31% voters oppose cutting taxes for the wealthy and corporations.

Mitch McConnell opposes everything that Kentucky voters said they supported in the paragraph above. What’s even worse for McConnell is that voters strongly oppose what he supports. McConnell has been a vocal supporter of tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. McConnell has personally blocked a wide range of job creation bills in the Senate, and he has publicly admitted that he is using gridlock as a strategy to destroy the Obama presidency.

“Grimes leads by a substantial margin among independents with 56% to McConnell’s 30%,” the PPP analyst noted. That’s a pretty big indictment of the incumbent Senator. But then, when 40% of his own party voted against him in the primary, the one narrative that was clearly intrenched was that Kentucky voters are sick of Mitch McConnell and his belief that creating jobs for Kentuckians isn’t his job. That gets old, especially when times are tough and in a state whose main industry has taken a hit.

The PPP analysis of what Kentuckians cared about showed marked support for what Democrats are championing in terms of making millionaires and corporations do their part, “(T)hey want to make sure that millionaires pay their fair share and do not get a lower tax rate than the middle class, and they want to close corporate tax loopholes, especially for shipping jobs overseas.”

And this is made all the more real and painful because PPP is a “liberal-leaning” pollster. And we all know that reality has a thing for liberals these days. Yes, that’s right. While other pollsters were unskewing themselves to show a horse race between Mitt Romney and Barack Obama in 2012, PPP was found the most accurate after they “projected a 2-point Obama victory and put him at the critical 50 percent mark, 50 to 48 percent over Romney.”

Two points.

After 30 years of listening to Mitch McConnell blame others for his own failures while lining his own pockets, Kentucky voters seem to be over Mitch McConnell. And it doesn’t help the incumbent that his Democratic opponent is strong, smart, and a known quantity in Kentucky. The cheap smears the McConnell people have been aiming at Grimes aren’t sticking.

With Republicans poised once again to waste the American taxpayers’ hard earned money with yet another frivolous lawsuit against a Democratic president, laying the groundwork for even more egregious impeachment proceedings, all voters who care about things like jobs and infrastructure need to make a concerted effort to tell Republicans “enough of the clownshow.”

The only way to be heard by this crowd who pretend to speak for the average American whilst refusing to pass a jobs bill is to vote. VOTE.

One trip and campaign stop from Obama will fix that. I bet he stays out of Kentucky. That will vastly improve her chances. Now what to do about the other 8 seats that will go Republican?

Also the author Sarah Jones is the deputy news editor at Al Jazeera. Nice source. If you are a traitor, or support one.

Obama has ignored his oath, and leads by example. Lerner being a devoted sycophant jumped on board.

When is the last time we executed a traitor? I know. Do any of you? Womens rights and all.
