It was a mistake until proved otherwise. Unless you know something that no one else does.

And they, along with Murdoch, are bankrolling the "grassroots" tea party. This country is headed back to the Gilded Age.

The vast oil that is under the Midwest is locked up in shale and takes two bbls of oil to get three out. King Hubert who worked for Dutch Royal Shell as a geologist said that the US would go in to peak oil in 70, it is now known that we went into peak oil in 71. There have been no new substantial oil finds on this planet in the past ten years because its mostly been mapped. To prove all of this why would oil company's be drilling in deep water, or Canada where the US brings in most of its foreign oil getting it from tar sands? It takes half the energy produced to produce it from tar sands. The Saudis and most Arab nations will not let independent geologists in to check oil reserves and with all the pumping of oil over all the years, the reserve estimates have not dropped by one bbl. This is because OPEC allows production of reserve estimates. So much for your bumper sticker drill here drill now pay less Newt I am hitting my secretary on the office desk while my wife is dying of cancer.

The Koch brothers? They're funding the organization sending out the fliers, haven't you followed at all?
Are you two argueing that ONE party commits voter shenanigans and the OTHER doesn't? BWAH HAH HAH HAH........

No. How did you arrive at that conclusion?

AFP has already explained that it was just an innocent typo, nothing to see here: Statement from AFP-Wisconsin State Director Matt Seaholm in regards to the Absentee Ballot Application Typo | Americans for Prosperity (http://www.americansforprosperity.org/080211-statement-afp-wisconsin-state-director-matt-seaholm-regards-absentee-ballot-application-typo - broken link)



How the fliers ended up on the doorsteps of the Democratic Party's voters - well, the silence is deafening.

Well, if the AFP can't even correct typos before the fliers were distributed, I certainly wouldn't be inclined to support any candidate those incompetent jackasses supported.

Their arses should be going to jail. Holder, just like Barry, is pretty much spineless.
