Could not agree more!

As I read the blog of Ann Coulter I found myself agreeing with her more and more. This was shocking. She's to much of a conservative for me. In doing some research about her I found out her favorite book is the bible. Ewww could she be any more fake. She is first a Christian and then a conservative which is fine, what’s not fine is all the hate she spreads. Hmm I thought the bible tried to teach us different, maybe she should read it a few more time. Ann is also a lawyer, author, and radio personality.
In her more recent blog http://news.yahoo.com/s/ucac/20080214/cm_ucac/theresademocratbehinddoorno12and3
Ann talks about how Obama is so likely to win that he can even smoke on TV and still win, Hillary needs something huge to happen in order for her to win ( like divorcing bill) jaja.
Later in the blog Mc Cain comes up. As we all have heard many many times Mc Cain is a POW. WOW I guess that is enough to make him qualify to be president Mc Cain uses his POW status to try and win and it makes me sick. Like Ann I don’t believe that just because you fought in a war this makes you in anyway possible qualified to be president. It almost makes me sick to see him use that as a bit for his campaign. Something’s should not be exploited that way, can it be any more obvious that since we are in the middle of a war he is using he’s POW status to persuade military people and military families. There are certain things in life that don’t need to be exploited or over used.

Hundreds of area voters might have registrations canceled

Texas has been trying to establish a statewide voter registration to avoid people from voting in different counties. In the attempt to due so 8,500 voters have had their voter registration canceled. Williamson County Officials are now trying to find those 8,500 voters. It is apparent that this is a system error. The system looks at the location to where you registered first and not when you last updated your information. Some people were justly canceled, there were others who have updated their information but this new system is wrongfully canceling them. One main concern is that the presidential primary is soon to come and these voters who have been wrongfully canceled are not going to have enough time to register and be eligible to vote. Voters who have been canceled could still cast provisional votes and might be able to be counted; this of course will depend on the county.

I don’t believe that this system error has any evil doing on anyone’s part. The statewide voter registration program is a good proposal it just needs to be refined. An option could have been to try and test this new system out at another time, not when an election is so close. There should be a back up plan incase something like this happens again. Voting is a right not a privilege. Some voters will lose that right this year for a technical error that could have been refined before being established.
