I agree. It’s an amateur error. But like you wrote on your blog, which where I got part of the original idea, if you can’t get the message out to the voters, good luck. And Vop’s error was one of campaign finance reporting.

I tend to err on the side of understanding, when technical violations are exposed. Getting your voter registration lined-up, when you’re running to be the state’s chief election officer, is beyond a stupid mistake. Excuses are lame.

But Abdul, you need to think about this very, very carefully:

You have harped about voter ID and the integrity of the voting process. You have had Rokita’s sorry back on numerous occasions. You have failed to report that Rokita sought voter fraud proof from all 92 Indiana county clerks–twice–and got not one single solitary case to cite in his zest for Voter ID. And that he used the national SOS association to fund an expensive and wildly-inclusive study about voter integrity/ID.

In short, he had not one centilla of evidence that fraud existed, yet he used that as the main platform on Voter ID.

Now, you can favor Voter ID or not. But don’t prop up your argument with flimsy evidence. You willingly participated in that ruse. Yet now, you won’t hold a candidate for Rokita’s job, to a high standard on his own voter registration?

You served as an unpaid spokesperson for the new Voter ID law.

So riddle me this: do you value consistency?

I was unaware of Ossili’s campaign finance reporting violations. Don’t lay an egg out there and wlak away from it–report it. We can evaluate whether it’s substantive or minor.

As for Mr. White’s error–I would vote, very narrowly, to give him a pass. But this is a very serious matter. It’d be like the state treasurer bouncing checks in his personal account.

Enough to disqualify him? No. But I understand the outcry. And you should, too, without the snarky Democratic swipes. It’s really beneath you.

I hope it’s not a trend.

“Stupid” over “Evil”? Strange, I don’t want either.

Here’s an elected official and county chair of the political party that’s always hollering about the “sanctity of traditional marriage” but when his own marriage fails, he can’t deal with the complexities of moving and voter registration. Charlie White is hardly setting a good example of “traditional Hoosier family values” and respect for the law…

TA, if I did vote here and will likely change residency after November, showing an ID to vote won’t bother me then. And just a reminder, I comment on a lot of things that don’t affect me personally. It’s the joy of being a political pundit.

Pascal: stop assuming anything about me. Please. Your judgment is pickled.

Abdul: there’s a difference between being a political pundit and taking routine pot-shots at one party. You’ve done a lot of the latter lately. You’re a good pundit. You’re a lousy pot-shotter.

This post could easily have set out the facts without throwing a rock through the blog-window at Democrats. But you just can’t resist, can you?

It’s cheap. And increasingly ineffective.

Get over it, “pascal”! 90 years ago my grandfather was just as concerned about Catholics taking over our Indiana government and imposing Vatican/Papal authority over good Hoosier Christians and forcing worship of idols.

Thank God for that!

Pot, meet kettle.

So, did your grand daddy join the KKK or was he, like you, just a first class fool? It is amusing to me because, for Catholics, Indiana is considered “mission territory”. Seriously, I read that somewhere. But, the KKK was equal opportunity in the sense they bashed Negoes, and Jews as well, you know, pluralism and multi culturism were not recent inventions.

Your point is that Andre has better hearing than hundreds of people, hundreds of recorders? Or, was it that only folks like him can hear well? The point is hardly petty. Andre lies or does not lie.
Just as, did Senator Lugar lie with Abdul in the audience? And, what particular proof was Rokita asking for-a conviction in a court of law? That is one standard of proof-there are others. Tell you what, you put up just the one measly $100,000.00 for proof of voter fraud in Indiana and I imagine you will be swarmed by democrats perfectly willing to sell out their comrades. You would probably have to stipulate that the $100,000 went to the democrat who could demonstrate the highest number of fraudulent voters.
Yeah, I know, you don’t have the coin because you take expensive vacations and still want the rest of up to pick up your health care expenses.
