QUOTES:
“When we get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe, we shall become as corrupt as Europe.”
Thomas Jefferson
“The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.”
Thomas Jefferson
“It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes. A principle which if acted on would save one-half the wars of the world.”
Thomas Jefferson

“My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from….too much government.”
Thomas Jefferson
“No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms.”
Thomas Jefferson
“The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.”
Thomas Jefferson
“The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of…..patriots and tyrants.”

Thomas Jefferson
Thomas Jefferson said in 1802:
“I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive
the people of all property – until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.”
Wow… Brilliant! The banking quote is frightening as it relates to our current economic plight
The banking quote is very insightful. How many bankers, attorneys, lawyers, and corporations have donated to Winnecke?
Too many to count, I think.
You don’t know the half of it. Our Founders also meant for our money to be backed by Gold or Silver. It is backed by nothing now. They can print money out of thin air. It’s another form of taxation. All you gotta do if you need more money is print more!
Here is another frightening quote that runs through my mind about this time of year:
“It’s not the people who vote that count. It’s the people who count the votes.” (Josef Stalin)

You’re not kidding! I could make your stomach turn with some of the shennanigans that have gone on when the votes are “counted” in Evansville.
If I were Davis, I’d insist on having a monitor present while the votes are counted from every precinct.
I believe that the only people who are automatically allowed to monitor the vote counting are the official designees from the two parties. Neither of them would lift a finger to prevent this election from being stolen by the Machine.
This is a serious concern.
I have heard that there has been some serious fraud in Evansville’s past in the absentee ballots. I also hear that the worst one for doing it is still a player in politics and has a patronage job working on the city payroll. Any truth to such rumors. Man if dat is true then this person is being paid to fix elections. They ought to send the counting job to some third party in another state. Evansville seems to crooked for a close election the be counted right. Maybe the chickens will come home to roost in 2011.
True and true.
It’s an old, old game in Evansville. Been going on for at least 40 years, probably longer.
Rick really needs to explore his legal options NOW in terms of getting monitors in place on election day. If the Machine can keep his people out of the counting room, he’s dead meat. Given his familiarity with their history and tactics, I assume he is aware of this.
Meant to add:
The one thing that Davis has going for him this year is Nick Hermann as the prosecutor. Nick is honest and ambitious. He will not allow the kind of obvious voter fraud that has gone on for years to happen.
Levco was notorious for looking the other way on voter fraud cases, even when people were caught red-handed.
Vonkayel–
Not sure where you get your confidence in Nick. Is it correct that before Nick was elected he had only tried one felony case and he lost it? Is it not correct, the convicted felon appealed his case and won on the appeal because of incompetence legal representation from Nick.
Lemme give you a hint: One of the Great Defenders of Democratic Party vote fraud is none other than Carl Heldt, himself!
