President Visit to Oklahoma

I ask myself why would the president come to Oklahoma? He didn't visit this state when he ran for president the first time so why do it the second time. Is it because he has a rival for his job who is challenging him? His Democratic contender is Randall Terry.

Could it be he is coming to Oklahoma because we are the reddest state in the union? Ya, we cling to our Bibles, our Babies, our Brains, our Guns, and our Freedom. We don't like socialism, communism, or any other ism. Not even Obamism.

Maybe he is coming here to try to lie to our students like he has lied to other students in the United States. Students, in order to understand Obama speeches the only rule you need is the rule of opposites. What ever he says turn it around and just the opposite is what he really means. If he says he wants to help create 2,000 jobs, then he wants to destroy 2,000 jobs. There is no mystery to understanding his speeches. It's easy. What ever he says that is positive, he means just the reverse.

Catholics please take note, you have two alternatives to Obama in the next election.

1. Republican Rick Santorum

2. Democrat Randall Terry

Super Tuesday

On Super Tuesday I was super sick but I felt it my civic duty to vote. My friend down the street arrived the same time I did at the Polling Place. I finished voting, went to the restroom, and went back to see if she was finished voting and to tell her good bye or help her to the car. She's elderly so I wanted to help her any way I could even though I felt terrible. Her ballot would not go in the machine. No matter how the official tried it wouldn't work and she was given a new ballot. I saw who she voted for and wondered if she had changed her mind because she had said she was voting for Santorum. I felt bad and told her goodbye. I finished my errands and went home to bed. My friend called me the next day to see how I was. As we talked she confided in me that her neighbor had talked to her before she went to vote and told her to vote for Romney. He told her it was only the Primary and it didn't matter. She said that after she voted she went home and her neighbor called her and in their conversation he said he was going to vote for Santorum. She told me that she could vote for Santorum in the General Election. I wanted to tell her that if Santorum isn't nominated in the Primary Election he most certainly won't be in the General Election. She talked real loud and I couldn't get a word in. I tried to explain to her that each vote counts. I tried to explain to her what Electoral Votes were. I don't think she understood but who knows. I don't know how she voted.

It's sad that this wonderful country, so blessed by God, has come to such a pitiful state. There are a lot of people changing their political party. Thank God for that. Now if the party doesn't change back to real conservatives what will we do? Last election we had a real stink of a Republican in name only running for office. Made me sick. I hope I don't feel sick again this time. I hope that my being sick on Super Tuesday doesn't translate into being Super Sick on Election Day.

United States Electoral College

The United States Electoral College is the official name of the group of Presidential Electors who are chosen every four years to cast the electoral vote and thereby elect the President and Vice President of the United States. It was established by Article Two, Section One of the United States Constitution, which provides for a quadrennial election of Presidential Electors in each state. The electoral process was modified in 1804 with the ratification of the 12th Amendment and again in 1961 with the ratification of the 23rd Amendment. The Electoral College is administered at the national level by the National Archives and Records Administration via its Office of the Federal Register. The actual meetings of electors in each state are administered by state officials.

The Presidential Electors meet in their respective state capitals in December, 41 days following the election, at which time they cast their electoral votes. Thus the "electoral college" never meets as one national body. They ballot for President, then ballot for vice president. Afterward, the Electors sign a document called the Certificate of Vote which sets forth the number of votes cast for these two offices and is signed by all Electors. Multiple copies of the Certificate of Vote are signed, in order to provide multiple originals in case one is lost. One copy is sent to president of the Senate (i.e. the sitting Vice President of the United States); the certificates are placed in two special mahogany boxes where they await a joint session of the new Congress where they are opened and counted. Candidates must receive a majority of the electoral vote to be declared the president-elect or vice-president-elect. If no candidate for President receives an absolute electoral majority 270 votes out of the 538 possible, then the new House of Representatives is required to go into session immediately to vote for President. (This would likely just occur when more than two candidates receive electoral votes, but could theoretically happen in a two-person contest, if each received exactly 269 electoral votes). In this case, the House of Representatives chooses from the three candidates who received the most electoral votes, but could not establish a majority of votes in the College. The House votes en-bloc by state for this purpose (that is, one vote per state, which is determined by the majority decision of the delegation from that state; if a state delegation is evenly split, a deadlock normally results, and that state is considered as abstaining).

This vote would be repeated if necessary until one candidate receives the votes of more than half the state delegations—at least 26 state votes, given the current number, 50, of states in the union. If no candidate for Vice President receives an absolute majority of electoral votes, then the United States Senate must do the same, with the top two vote getters for that office as candidates. The Senate votes in the normal manner in this case, not by States. It is unclear if the sitting Vice President would be entitled to cast his usual tie-breaking vote if the Senate should be evenly split on the matter. If the House of Representatives has not chosen a winner in time for the inauguration (noon on January 20), then the Constitution of the United States specifies that the new Vice President becomes Acting President until the House selects a President.

If the winner of the Vice Presidential election is not known by then either, then under the Presidential Succession Act of 1947, the Speaker of the House of Representatives would become Acting President until the House selects a President or the Senate selects a Vice President. On the one hand, the Twelfth Amendment specifies that the Senate should choose the Vice President, and it does not admit of a time limit on the selection process. On the other hand, the Twenty-Fifth Amendment allows the President to nominate a Vice President if a vacancy should occur. As of 2006, the House of Representatives has elected the President on two occasions, in 1801 and in 1825. The Senate has chosen the Vice President once, in 1837.

Rick Santorum in OKC

I attended the Santorum rally this afternoon at the capitol. The weather was beautiful, in the 70s. All was well until I heard a woman talking really loud and with a very determined look on her face. Santorum hadn't even arrived and there were people in the group of about 500 who seemed out of place. I don't understand why people don't respect other's right to gather and hear a speaker who may be the next president. If you don't agree, go have your own rally with someone you agree with. One of the men had on a Obama/Biden button. I found that Bazaar. Why are you at a rally for a different candidate than the one you support? Is it to listen to the other candidate speak and try to make a decision? Or were these people there to disrupt and keep other people from hearing? I found out the answer after Santorum started speaking. These loud, disrespectful, ill-mannered, foul-mouthed, boisterous, angry, bitter, pitiful pieces of humanity were there to prevent others from hearing. I wondered if they had mothers and if so why didn't she teach them respect for themselves and others?

There were two young men standing in front of me until all the shouting started. Then they seemed to disappear. While they stood in front of me they were talking to each other. I watched one of the young man's mouth when he spoke to try to figure out what he was saying. There was some sort of sticky substance in his mouth. It looked awful. I feel certain the young man with dark hair in a black tee-shirt at the far left in the photo above is one of the young men who was standing in front of me. I saw the photos when I got home. Now I understand why he would turn around and glare at me when I told one of the protesters, "Go home, we came to listen to the candidate not you."

Here is a link of a video of the protesters on Fox News. They did include some of the supporters too. Thank you Fox News in Oklahoma City for not making the protesters the news. Too bad they didn't interview the candidate too but maybe he declined because he was leaving to go to another city in Oklahoma.

Katie Fretland was there taking notes with her little note pad. She was interviewing the supporters and getting their phone numbers. So how is it that the report below doesn't resemble in any way what the supporters said? In this article Katie only states what the protesters said.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -- Supporters and protesters greeted GOP presidential hopeful Rick Santorum during a return visit to Oklahoma two days before the Super Tuesday primary. About 200 supporters were on hand Sunday afternoon as Santorum spoke on the steps of the state Capitol. But so were about 25 activists from Occupy Oklahoma, who drowned out Santorum soon after he began to speak. When Santorum asked supporters for a "big win" at the polls on Tuesday in Oklahoma, Occupy Oklahoma activists screamed "mic check" and then "Get your hate out of my state" and "Racist, sexist, anti-gay, zealot, fascist, go away." As they yelled, Santorum supporters shouted "we pick Rick" until Santorum was barely audible. Santorum was scheduled to visit Broken Arrow Sunday night, concluding his second visit to the state in a month.

I just found another AP story by Katie Fretland titled: Obama or McCain better barbecue guest? It was posted by Swamp Politics. Katie Fretland is such a great political writer that she writes about barbecue sauce, trying to make big political predictions about who would vote for whom. Who cares about barbecue when the country is about to go under?

In a contest of who would be the more popular guest at a summer barbecue, Barack Obama beats John McCain by 52 percent to 45 percent, according to an Associated Press/Yahoo! News poll just released.

Here's hoping the American Public will get their selves to the polls and vote for a future. I'm hoping and praying to God we will be rid of the plight we have now.

"If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." 2 Chronicles 7:14
