Loony Left finds a new Daddy.
The Loony left has had a new Pied Piper the last few months. Michael Moore and Al Franken are soÖPre Election. The Lefts new go-to guy is none other than Keith Olbermann. Yes MSNBC are the parents of a bouncing baby Wing nut.
K.O., as the Left refers to their new guy in Blog Posts, has been ìAll Overî this Ohio Election Recount ìstoryî. My gut tells me he thinks he can corner the market on Wing nuts, thus bringing his ratings up. They really have nowhere to go but up.
The only problem seems to be the fact that if he attracted any Wing nuts he drove away others, because his numbers have not moved.
So anyway, ìK.O.î is popping his cork early with word that Congressman John Conyers of Michigan confirmed this afternoon that he and several other Congressmen are planning to object to the vote of the Ohio electors when the Electoral College ballots are opened before the joint session of Congress next Thursday.
The rest will be the usual suspects.
Now they need a Senator to jump into this mess.
Reviewing the Wing nut sites, the two Senators that they are really hoping will make fools of themselves seem to be California Senator Barbara Boxer and/or Vermont “Independent” Senator Jeffords?
Fat chance I say.
I will Post the Names of the Congress people joining Congressman John Conyers when I can verify the names with a News release from thier Webpages.
Pd. Thanks for the Rep Mink Catch. I was using a list from the Florida disputed rollcall.
This is the Text of a letter send to Senator Boxer;
“Dear Senator Boxer,
“As you know, on January 6, 2005, at 1:00 P.M, the electoral votes for the election of the president are to be opened and counted in a joint session of Congress, commencing at 1:00 P.M. I and a number of House Members are planning to object to the counting of the Ohio votes, due to numerous unexplained irregularities in the Ohio presidential vote, many of which appear to violate both federal and state law. I am hoping that you will consider joining us in this important effort to debate and highlight the problems in Ohio which disenfranchised innumerable voters. I will shortly forward you a draft report itemizing and analyzing the many irregularities we have come across as part of our hearings and investigation into the Ohio presidential election.
“3 U.S.C. ß15 provides when the results from each of the states are announced, that “the President of the Senate shall call for objections, if any.” Any objection must be presented in writing and “signed by at least one Senator and one Member of the House of Representatives before the same shall be received.The objection must “state clearly and concisely, and without argument, the ground thereof. When an objection has been properly made in writing and endorsed by a member of each body the Senate withdraws from the House chamber, and each body meets separately to consider the objection. “No votes . . . from any other State shall be acted upon until the [pending] objection . . . [is] finally disposed of.” 3 U.S.C. ß17 limits debate on the objections in each body to two hours, during which time no member may speak more than once and not for more than five minutes. Both the Senate and the House must separately agree to the objection; otherwise, the challenged vote or votes are counted.
“Historically, there appears to be three general grounds for objecting to the counting of electoral votes. The language of 3 U.S.C. ß15 suggests that objection may be made on the grounds that (1) a vote was not “regularly given” by the challenged elector(s); and/or (2) the elector(s) was not “lawfully certified” under state law; or (3) two slates of electors have been presented to Congress from the same State.
“Since the Electoral Count Act of 1887, no objection meeting the requirements of the Act have been made against an entire slate of state electors. In the 2000 election several Members of the House of Representatives attempted to challenge the electoral votes from the State of Florida. However, no Senator joined in the objection, and therefore, the objection was not “received.” In addition, there was no determination whether the objection constituted an appropriate basis under the 1887 Act. However, if a State – in this case Ohio – has not followed its own procedures and met its obligation to conduct a free and fair election, a valid objection -if endorsed by at least one Senator and a Member of the House of Representatives- should be debated by each body separately until “disposed of”.
Sincerely, John Conyers, Jr.

Dave,
Patsy Mink died. Hawaii’s two representatives, I believe, are Neil Abercrombie and Ed Case. Also, the obtaining of one senator will do NO good. The reason I say this is that, in Conyers’ own letter to senators that requests their support, Conyers reveals that there is a limit to debate time for both chambers of NO MORE THAN 2 hours, thus preventing a Senate filibuster. So, if EVERY Democrat and Jeffords want to challenge the election, their challenges merely would delay the certification by a maximum of 2 hours.
I hope some senator does decide to challenge; we could have a comedic day.:)
(DAVE)
Yes your right. I am not sure why I added her name.
Lets hope they can come up with at least one Senator! How does that saying go? If your advisary is hellbent on self destruction better to get the hell out of way. Or something like that.
Won’t do them any good…NY voted for John L. Kerry. The Constitution has no provision for an Electoral College ‘re-vote’, and any attempt to change the NY vote should be challenged as well.
Ooooh, those wing-nut whores piss me off. Why can’t they just do fair and balanced reporting like Fox.
Want to see something cool? I call it, “Moonbat shot down with jpg”
Ohio voting irregularities explained…and more!
They get more and more and moore pathetic by the day
It is to be hoped that a Democratic Senator will agree to the challenge – it’d be handing us 60 Senators in 2006 on a silver platter. I doubt it’ll happen, though; the Democratic Senators aren’t that stupid…

Or are they?
