I find more false conservatives than true conservatives these days. People who support higher and higher deficits, protectionism and corporate welfare, industrial policy and 'managed' markets, a bigger and bigger Federal Government intruding more and more into personal lives and taking away freedoms of the people... are not conservatives. They are Authoritarians, or maybe Fundamentalists, but they are not True Conservatives.

Well jumping to the top of the Ten Stupidest SI posters is done by those who obviously cannot walk, grin chew gum at the same time or even two out of three. So if retards read what really happened and then fantasize some dumb-0-crat stupidity has something to do with Reasonable Wise Enlightened folks, well once again stupidity seeks it level. Election Fiasco Forces Florida Dem Aside Miriam Oliphant, supervisor of elections in Democrat-controlled (and, not coincidentally, corruption-plagued) Broward County, Fla., today surrendered most of her duties after botching this month's primary. "I've fallen short in the office when it comes to management," Oliphant admitted to county commissioners. She apologized "for all of the issues that have been out there." But instead of resigning, she will remain on the taxpayers' dole, even though she won't have much to do except count the votes - or attempt to count them. The public will have to pay for a new lieutenant for operations, and the (Democrat-run) county commission will run the Nov. 5 general election, the Associated Press reported. Naturally, AP in its article today failed to note Oliphant's party affiliation, just as most mainstream media after the primary failed to note that Democrats run the only counties (Dade and Broward) that bungled the primary election, which caused Janet Reno to launch into a Sore-Loserman-style hissy fit. Gov. Jeb Bush called Oliphant's decision to give up most of her power "a wise and responsible one" and said - get this - that he was confident the problems would not be repeated. What prompted this faith in Florida's notoriously inept Dumb-o-crats? Stay tuned for Nov. 5. newsmax.com
