You do like apples don’t you, because ACORNs are so yesterday.

Ken Blackwell is a sorry ass excuse and according to Rush and Buchanan, he should be voting for Obama. In 2004, he was the co-Chair of the Bush campaign in Ohio where he was Secretary of State and watched thousands of voters get frustrated and leave without voting because of inept voting machines and complex provisional ballot casting on election day.

Ritchie is not co-chair of anything. Ritchie spoke at the Independence Party event and I’m positive that he has not been asked by the Republicans.

Funny how the libtards and their media flunkys like Dan Blather and cBS ignore the real fraud.

HEY Leroy! still waiting for you excuse as to why this was never investigated?

This is a pretty dumb post considering he isn’t doing any SoS business here except saying, hi I’m a high-ranking DFL official and I’m going to use my stature to further other DFL candidates.

In the 2004 election when First Lady Laura Bush was in town, Mary Kiffmeyer was a speaker at her rally/event. So, she campaigned for the Republican presidential candidate.

She may have gays on staff, she also had spokespersons who disagree with that:
Kent Kaiser one of Mary Kiffmeyer’s main campaign staffers talking about why homosexual individuals should not be allowed in leadership positions with 4-H: Saint Paul Pioneer Press; December 18, 1996
“This unhealthy and immoral lifestyle is being forced upon her.” Kaiser said that children shouldn’t be exposed to homosexuals but that parents who want their kids to participate in 4-H won’t have any way to protect them against such exposure. “If she’s a leader and a gay person wants to serve as a junior leader, she should be able to say ‘no, we don’t want a young person in Hamburg to be exposed to that lifestyle,” said Kaiser. “She’s being told she doesn’t have the right to weed out the bad elements like that.”

Let’s not forget the racial purity statements out out by her organization the Minnesota Majority:
From Minnesota Majority’s position paper on Health Care:
The U.S. health care system serves the most diverse racial and ethnic population of any country in the world. This fact adversely affects every statistic by which we are compared to other countries. Black women, for a variety of reasons, are more prone to underweight babies than are Caucasian and Asian women. It is not surprising that Sweden has a lower infant mortality rate, or that Japan has a longer life expectancy than the United States does. They are nearly racially pure: we are not.

She also spent our tax dollars like they were ‘welfare’ dollars:
The Minnesota legislative auditor alleged Friday that former Secretary of State Mary Kiffmeyer’s administration overpaid 17 employees a total of $190,000 by giving them wages above allowable salary ranges.

In a report covering the final two years of Kiffmeyer’s second term, auditors said her staff didn’t get proper approval for various personnel transactions. Sixteen new hires were paid up to $11 more per hour than they were entitled. Another was promoted without prior authorization from the Department of Employee Relations and ended up making $11,000 more than his position’s rate.

Why do ALL republicans hate veterans?

She’s also an ignorant bigot based on her comments on gays in staff positions, black mothers, immigrations and all non-white Minnesotans.

Such an appropriate replacement for Olson.

Here’s what Mark Ritchie wrote about his father:

In honor of Alfred Ritchie, US Marine Corps – Served in World War II
(Submitted August 21, 2008 by Mark Ritchie)

Fresh out of high school, where he was a Marine cadet, my father enlisted in the United States Marine Corp and headed off to defend our nation. He served from 1943 to 1946, primarily in the Pacific theatre including time in China. It was this military service that gave him a vision of the world that inspired and guided his life of community service. My vote this year will be in honor of this proud marine and life-long public servant: Alfred Ernest Ritchie.

This reminds me to post at the SOS site about the vet I’m honoring, WWII Army vet Troy Theissen, who served in the Pacific theater as well.

Is he appearing incognito?
