What’s going on in WI in regard to recall petitions is not voter fraud. I also hope you’re not saying that no signature submitted on a petition to recall a Repub will be found invalid.

Who doesn’t know that Repubs want to suppress turnout? Dems are much better at self- suppression that Repubs will ever be at suppressing Dems. Dems should focus on how to turn out their squirrelly voters.

Dems have a registration edge in FL: 4.6 million to 4.0 million Repubs.

This is the source of the info @13, about the FL Senate, prior to the 2010 election.

All eligible voters vote. A lot vote “I don’t care” or “Either 1 will do” or “It makes no difference to me.”

“I can’t prove these assertions, but the point is that no one can disprove them either.”

Absurd. You know a crime has been committed and all of the possible suspects can’t prove they’re innocent.

2010 28 Repubs and 12 Dems
2008 26 Repubs and 14 Dems
2006 26 Repubs and 14 Dems
2004 26 Repubs and 14 Dems
2002 26 Repubs and 14 Dems
2000 25 Repubs and 15 Dems

FL Senate 40 members

FL Governor has been Repub since the election of 1998

Criminy, I hope I don’t get washed away in the ebb and flow.

Elections have consequences. What did you think would happen?

Republicans control the Governor’s office and every elective Cabinet office. Republicans have a 2/3 majority in each chamber of the state legislature.

Republicans achieved all of these advantages without the current round of changes.

I laugh that you think of yourself as part of the Troll Patrol.

I read quickly, so scrolling is not worth the trouble. Scrolling takes lots more time than reading.

Will you be testifying before the Government Accountability Board in WI?

I looked at a map of TX counties to see if you were near Bonham. If you can see OK, I’d guess you can see Carl Albert’s district.

Rayburn spoke of how lonely he was as a child, sitting on a fence rail, hoping for someone, anyone, to pass by.

Our laws provide a procedure for dealing even with “killer criminals” e.g., Timothy McVeigh.

“Correct me if I am wrong, but I doubt the people who were killed in the twin towers were armed and they were not given a warning.”

I am glad the US subscribes to the principles and standards of terrorists.

Hmmm. The book was published in 1902. So the events would be late 19th century.

Fla. Senate approves repeal of religious aid ban

FL currently has more separation of church from state than the US constitution. Repubs can fix that for you.

I believe the amendment needed only 60% of each chamber to make it to the ballot in November of 2012. Repubs have 2/3 majorities in each chamber. If approved by 60% of voters in 11/12, the amendment makes it to the FL constitution.

Isn’t that European power Belgium? Isn’t the river the Congo? Isn’t Kurtz Belgian? Slavery was outlawed in the British Empire before the US Civil War. The book is supposedly based on events in the early 20th century. Conrad died in 1924.

I’m glad you commented without reading the other comments. You also didn’t look at the roll call of the vote.

There were 6 Republicans who did not vote for the motion because they did not vote.

You were talking about Daniels.

There is a 3rd sibling in the novel. He is Minister of Defense in the Caribbean nation of San Lorenzo.

So there are all these Hoosiers flying down to San Lorenzo. I believe somebody asks Newt about his education and he says he didn’t go to college. The other says “Self-educated, eh?” Newt replies “Aren’t we all?”

There is a product called Ice-9 in the novel. See, the Marines are tired of slogging through the mud. So somebody invents Ice-9, which turns water solid. Presto: no more mud. Unfortunately it also turns all the water adjacent to that solid, and all the water adjacent to that… This has consequences.

I consider you a Hoosier, not a troll.

Have you read “Cat’s Cradle”? It’s full of Hoosiers. There’s 1 named Newt who is a dwarf and another named Angela who is an Amazon, nearly 7 feet tall. They’re brother and sister.

Something about the way you emphasized “Hoosier” the other day reminded me.

I spit on God.

I saw a cute sign the other day outside a church: We’re open between Easter and Christmas.
