Another Liberal Double Standard

Here in Washington state, we are gearing up for a rematch of the historic 2004 gubernatorial election. Christine Gregoire, a Democrat, ran against Republican Dino Rossi. Rossi won the election by a scant 261 votes. An automatic recount kicked in, and again Rossi won, but by a smaller margin of only 42 votes. After a second recount was ordered, Rossi lost by a mere 130 votes. Seems they kept finding previously uncounted ballots in ultra-liberal King County, nearly all of which went for Gregoire.

The election was proclaimed as fraudulent by the Republicans due to the registration of felons, who are not permitted to vote, and dead people, who are unable to vote as far as I know. No one challenged, and Gregoire's faux victory stood.

Does this sound eerily familiar, perhaps prophetic in some sense? ACORN and other Democrat groups have been registering ineligible voters for quite some time, and only recently have the Republicans caught on. Conservative talk radio has lambasted Senator Barack Obama's campaign, but it is another case of preaching to the choir.

Today, a King County Superior Court judge ruled that challenger Rossi must make a deposition before the date of the election. He will swear out a statement that he has not taken campaign funds illegally. Clearly the left is positioning itself well: If Rossi wins, they will undoubtedly proceed with a full-scale investigation of every contribution he has received over the past several months, hoping to disqualify him and award the spoils of victory to -- you guessed it -- the Democrat incumbent.

Regarding the Courts and Obama, it still has not been established that Mr. Obama is eligible to hold the office of the presidency due to questions surrounding his place of birth. Obama has sealed his college records and his birth certificate in Hawaii until after the election. And last week's oddly timed visit to his ailing grandmother only fueled speculation.

At least two suits have been filed against Obama which would force him to produce a verifiable birth certificate. One such case was filed in King County, the other in Pennsylvania. Yet he still has not been forthcoming with his records. Mr. Obama, that you are unwilling or unable to produce a verifiable birth certificate is cause for suspicion. That you have sealed your college transcripts is also cause for concern. Perhaps an application for financial aid would list your birthplace as somewhere outside of the United States, and for obvious reasons, you do not wish this information to become public.

By contrast, the mainstream media have been all over Governor Sarah Palin and her family, casting aspersions against her husband, even making statements about Palin's religion and the money she spends on clothing.

As of today, both suits against Obama have been dismissed, yet Rossi must make his deposition as ordered. I find this deplorable and clearly biased, possibly orchestrated by some higher power (George Soros, perhaps?) who desperately seeks to install Obama in the White House.

If Barack Obama is elected president and later found to have been born outside of the US and its territories (at last check, Kenya was not a US territory), we will face an unprecedented constitutional crisis. If he is subsequently removed from office, will any and all legislation signed into law by him be ruled invalid?

Yes, we do live in interesting times.
