Arkansas Attorney General candidate Leslie Rutledge is crying foul over the cancellation of her voter registration form. Rutledge, the Republican nominee for Attorney General, was kicked off the voter rolls after it was discovered that she failed to cancel previous voter registrations in Washington, DC and Virginia, and re-register in Pulaski County when she moved. Pulaski County Clerk Larry Crane, a Democrat, said he was legally obligated to remove her after receiving a letter flagging this issue. Rutledge and Republican groups are calling the removal a “dirty trick” that was politically motivated.
But what happened to Rutledge is in fact very common, and becoming even more common after the state implemented a number of strict voter restrictions, including a controversial voter ID law being litigated in court Thursday.
Do you know what is my favorite part of this story?
That it was the Arkansas Republicans who pushed for the stricter voting regulations, which ensured the increased scrutiny of Rutledge's voting history.
Oh wait, that's not my favorite part of the story, this is:
I mean why vet a candidate before backing them? If the McCain campaign had done that Sarah Palin would be all but forgotten by now.
How DARE they catch her committing voter fraud!
ReplyDeletetehehee
Palin CURSE AGAIN!!! How many times so far today? TWICE? Lets make it a threesome!
DeleteWicked Wednesday, Shall we? Whose next?
"If the McCain campaign had done that Sarah Palin would be all but forgotten by now. "
DeleteGoddamn you JOHN McCain! Powerful neg Karma heading your way dude for screech being pushed down our throats day in and out for years now!!!
GodDAMN you McCain and Fuck you SCREECH!
See that $CARAH?! I mean I know your motto: "you scratch my back & i'll scratch your back," but this is too too much!
ReplyDeleteWell I'll be. New voter registration laws affecting white people. Have to change that, and right away. Maybe they could come up with some gerrymandering, ie the voter suppression applies only in "certain" parts of the state.
ReplyDeleteCan Ms Palin still vote in Alaska, if she doesn't qualify for PFD anymore?
ReplyDeleteShe's not a resident, is she?
DeleteWell, don't know. All the residents I know apply for the PFD. But maybe voting laws have looser standards.
DeleteWell, she does qualify for the PFD. I think she chooses not to take it to avoid assholes talking about pointless things.
Deleteand not all AK residents who never leave apply for it.
Alaskans should vote if Sarah Palin can vote in our state.
DeleteI vote NO!

How the fuck DO YOU KNOW ASSHOLE? Asshole who post "Pointless things"?
I call BS on you! If SHE QUALIFIED you can damn well "You betcha" she would apply b/c she is AFTER ALL a GRIFTER!!!
FUCK OFF!
Yeah, as if Sarah Heath Palin would ever give up free money. That's hilarious!
DeleteThat is pretty funny that she wouldn't glom onto the PFD if she could.
Delete11:50 is a mentally ill 'pointless thing'. She lives in an imaginary world of "vibrant" Palins and is projecting.
DeleteYou can't make this stuff up! Comedy that writes itself. Plus "Dora the Endorser" that there's a good 'un, Mr Gryph.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteI do try.
Spell it Doh!RAH
Delete12:00 PM
DeleteClever. I do like that spelling.
>>>Actually this voter fraud story broke several days ago but that did not stop Dora the Endorser from putting his seal of approval<<<
DeleteHis seal of approval? ZOMFG! You said you had a tip that would make their heads assplode, Sarah becoming a MR would do that.
Going to buy popcorn now.
Looks like Sarah only endorses cheating frauds like herself.
ReplyDeleteHow many is that now?
DeleteTakes one to know one.
DeleteExactly 10:34 That's why Sarah endorses Leslie.
DeleteConniving cheating frauds are Sarah's type of people. They are the 'rill Mericuns' she identifies with. If they castrate, she feels an even greater kinship.
DeleteI'm enjoying the bittersweet self-incriminating subtlety of the fact that instead of proudly announcing this as an example of how their voter policies actually work (you know, like someone who enacted them out of deeply held principle would do), instead they whine and cry foul and blame it on the mean Democrats because it got applied to THEM.
ReplyDeleteYet another example of why I cannot ever vote for a "conservative". They do nothing but lie about their real motivations and blame everyone else when they get caught doing unethical things, and the way they wear their arrogant ignorance on their sleeve like a badge of courage? No, I'm not voting for anyone aligned with people who think they can out think scientists armed only with the Bible and their gutsy-feely horse-sense. Fuck that stupidity.
Hey, Sarah, good choice on the endorsement. Please explain how this woman upholds common constitutional values. (That's "constitutional," not "Constitutional.")
ReplyDeleteSarah's Facebook endorsement has generated 129 comments. Gryphen's post about Sarah's endorsement has 112 comments.
ReplyDeleteHere are what some of the idiots write:
Myrton Woolen I hope Arkansas or Arizona get my vote; so know I have two to choose from;shirley this is something to secrure the border with tx wont close it and has far as neveda not sure about him remember his reid dirty harry ried ;and if this arizone man stands with governor than he will do his part of closing the border
(No, you do not have a choice between voting in either Arizona or Arkansas unless you are the AG nominee in Arkansas or Sarah Palin).
Larry Cope I tride to defend you three times and some how got throne out We Still Love you for you and what you stand fore God bless Sarah and never never give up
Dawna Sharp I know nothing about politics but finally registered to vote for the first time. I live in NC but with the election that is coming up in November I am clueless on who to vote for. Any suggestions? You can PM me.
Mark Backman I support you Sarah Palin but as an Arizonan, I have to respectfully disagree and urge individuals to support Felecia Rotellini for Attorney General.
larry and myrton must be inbred kissin' cousins - hope these inbreds don't discover women - that would enable them to pass on their damaged genetics ..
DeleteThat's "wimmin" or "wimmin-folk", there 'bouts.
DeleteHmm, for some reason the song "Schadenfreude" from the Broadway musical Avenue Q is playing in my head.
ReplyDeleteAnd wasn't Ann Coulter caught up in some voter fraud or was that some other conservative fembot?
Jennifer K
Yes, Ann Coulter voted in two different states: Connecticut and Palm Beach, Florida. Like the Arkansas AG candidate, Ann is also a lawyer and obviously 'knew better', but like all GOPsters, believed that the law did not apply to her.
DeleteThe jury is still out with respect to whether Ann, who used to date Dinesh D'Souza (and Bill Maher, who is gay), is a man or a woman.
http://www.bradblog.com/?p=5415
Since when is Bill Maher gay?
DeleteBill Maher is known for liking the ladies. Big fan of Hugh Hefner.
DeleteMann Coulter and Dinesh D'Souza?
DeleteEwwwwwww.
The babies they coulda made ;-(
Anybody really surprised Sarah Palin is endorsing this crook?
ReplyDeleteYou must not be from Alaska!
The Arkansas Times writes about SP endorsing Rutledge and the comments are funny, as they don't like Sarah butting in.
ReplyDeleteAlso, under that article is another link to Max Branley (Arkansas TImes) entitled, "What is Leslie Hiding?". It writes, "Leslie Rutledge, the Repblican nominee for attorney general, is stonewalling attempts to understand why supervisors said should she not be rehired after abruptly resigning as a juvenile court lawyer for the Department of Human Services, effective December 3, 2007. A supervisor, in a note added to her file 10 days after she left, stated the reason was <>"
Interesting to note in this article that 2 of the three cases she supposedly mishandled had to do with adoption cases.
Huh? Checking my post here and part of the sentence is gone. Okey-dokey, words missing are "Gross Misconduct". As in, "A Supervisor, in a note added to her file 10 days after she left, stated the reason was <>.
Delete"Gross Misconduct
Delete*****
Isn't that "RILLLY" bad in legal terms? And NOW she wants to run for AG of the STATE???
Do these people not get Vetted? Or can any crook run?
Now Brent Bozell has said mean things about Carl Rove. Boy, the drama and it couldn't happen to a nicer bunch.
ReplyDeleteIf the McCain campaign had vetted Scarah, nobody outside of Alaska would have any idea who she is and wouldn't that be nice.
ReplyDeleteDeb11:45 AM
DeleteOh that would be so nice....to have never heard the name Sarah palin.
NY, NJ, IL, Maryland, OR are all states where Ive heard firsthand there are voting precincts that don't require ID
ReplyDeleteYep, they have some sense in Maryland. I take my voter registration card in with me though to make it easier to locate me in the system.
DeleteM from MD
I vote in Baltimore City. Always the same place.
DeleteHalf the time they ask for ID, half the time they don't.
In NY, there is a book at your designated polling place with a sample of your signature from when you registered. You have to sign again (with the original covered up) and the election volunteers match the signatures.
DeleteI think the only time I may have been asked for an ID was the year I sprained my writing hand and my signatures didn't match.
It's time to play... Republican Feud!
ReplyDeleteAND the deadline in my state to register to vote in this November's elections was last week!
ReplyDeleteSo Rutledge probably missed the registration deadline in Arkansas also! LOL....The Koch Brothers are going to be MAD at her!!!!
What are her endorsements in Alaska? That's kind of strange to be endorsing at that level in other states, like pin the tail on the donkey, throw that dart out there and endorse without even knowing if one of the candidates is a registered voter where she is running. Did she announce some monetary support too?
ReplyDeleteAnonymous1:56 PM
DeleteWhat are her endorsements in Alaska?
***
She is most likely being PAID by KOCKbros to endorse these people or by themselves...Alaskans are not going to pay this grifter a CENT so that is why she isn't endorsing not to mention all Alaskans hate her guts for QUITTING on them!!!
4:30 I'm assuming you are Alaskan by the way you "talk."
DeleteWhat is your take on Palin's endorsement of Joe Miller? Was it just to snub the "establishment" candidate, Dan Sullivan?
Someone else mentioned that Dan, himself, got the boot from Palins because he was attorney general and couldn't / wouldn't turn a blind eye toward her misconduct. Which that someone said led directly to her 4th of July Weekend hasty out-the-door with the quacking ducks on the dead lake.
Got any ideas?
Anyone else heard any good stuff?
How can someone run for office in a state where they are not a registered voter?
ReplyDeleteSarah endorses anyone who pays her, and the only ones that would pay for her endorsement are crazy nuts just like her.She is nothing but a ho for hire.
ReplyDeleteNever heard of the company Retards For Hire.
DeleteSarah Palin picking and endorsing a winning candidate is like throwing shit against the wall. Something is gonna stick.
