[News] Rhymefest May Challenge the Results in his City Alderman Election Campaign

By Ian ⋅ April 10, 2011 ⋅ 7 comments

“A vote challenge is looming in the city’s 20th Ward race. Aldermanic candidate Che ”Rhymefest” Smith is alleging massive vote fraud in the race.

With 98 percent of precincts reporting, Ald. Willie Cochran had 53 percent of the votes to Smith’s 46 percent.

Smith and his attorneys met with election officials Tuesday night, questioning them about the results.

“We want to ensure that it’s fair and that every vote is counted, and that people who didn’t live in the ward of vacant lots weren’t people who were voting. We want to make sure that the 20th Ward voices are heard,” Smith said.

“This election is not final tonight, and that’s the truth,” said Fred Bates, Smith’s attorney. “I don’t know whether Alderman Cochran has declared victory or not, but we make no concessions.”

“We concede nothing,” Smith said.”

[News] US Federal Government Shutdown Looms over Planned Parenthood!

By Ian ⋅ April 8, 2011 ⋅ 405 comments

This is pathetic!

In the above video you can see a press conference where representatives Barbara Boxer Dianne Feinstein discuss government shutdown and Planned Parenthood.

You’ve heard the anger, you’ve heard the frustration, you’ve heard the reality, that’s where we are.

Is it your understanding that House Republican opponents of Planned Parenthood believe that the federal money is commingled, expungeable, and therefore it’s a legitimate approach to show their opposition to abortion.

The fact is that what they’re saying to us today is if you want to keep the federal government open you have to throw women under the bus and we’re saying we’re not going to do that.

Barbara Boxer: If they’re telling you as a member of the press that this money all goes to Planned Parenthood that is incorrect. Let’s be clear here. Seventy-five percent of it goes to other organizations. They are listed. You can see them. I named some of them. There’s 45 hundred different clinics, a quarter of which are run by Planned Parenthood. So let’s understand it. And again, let’s understand something else, let’s not confuse the American people. The Hyde Amendment governs this program. Not one single dime can be used for abortion.
