With eight day left, get to know who you are really voting for (and Santa's place in this election)Posted Monday, October 27, 2008, at 1:58 PM
Christmas is coming up, it will be here before you know it. It's probably to late to start behaving now if you haven't been all year but that doesn't mean it's too late to score some brownie points with Santa Clause.
All you have to do is vote for him next Tuesday. A vote for Santa isn't a wasted vote, like say voting for Mickey Mouse. Mr. Clause really is a legal, legitimate write-in candidate in the state of Idaho for the presidency. He's just one of 19 people who have filled out the required paperwork to have votes cast in their name count as official votes. If you'd like to write Santa and ask him why he never got you that pony when you were eight, send him your kid's extended wish list (everyone's feeling the pinch in today's economy) or ask him why the heck he would be stupid enough to change his name to Santa Cause and then become a write-in candidate for president, his address is 692 Bridge CT, PO Box 5592, Incline Village NV 89451. As ridiculous as changing your name from whatever it was before (Thomas O'Connor) to Santa just because you look like him and think it would be funny to run for president in 16 states, it's not as ridiculous to changing your name from Marvin Richardson to Pro-Life to run as an independent challenger to replace Larry Craig. Pro-Life really is on the ballot for U.S. Senator. If you don't vote for him this year and instead chose to use your vote for Larry LaRocco or Jim Risch, fear not, he plans to run for the highest office on the state ballot every other year. There will be some other names on the ballots you may not recognize but almost certainly will vote for. If you vote for Obama, you will actually be casting your vote for presidential electors Cecil D. Andrus, Christopher D. Bray, Bethine Church and Dave D. Whaley to vote on your behalf on Jan. 6 since our founding fathers did not think we were smart enough to elect the president on our own. Before the days of 24/7 news, I'm not sure how we were allowed to make up our owns about anything. If you attempt to vote for McCain, your vote will count for presidential electors Darlene Bramon, Ben Doty, John Erickson and Melinda Smyser. Andrus was served as govoner for 14 years, the longest in the history of the state and in President Carter's administration as Interior secretary, the position Dirk Kempthorne now holds. Chris D'Bray appeared in the 1988 movie Testimony, but it's doubtful it's the same guy on the ballot. A Google search with the correct lettering of his name failed to produce anything on him. Church is the late Frank Church's wife. Dave Waley is a music man from North Carolina, but no word on who Dave D. Whaley of Idaho is. Bramon seems to be a rich retired lady from Hailey that likes to give money to the Republican party. She also is, or was, a member of the Idaho Housing and Finance Association. Which means she may know exactly how many houses she owns. Ben Doty is a popular name, but I couldn't find anything about a Ben Doty from Idaho. I found Ben Doty from Illinois' facebook page, info on a Ben Doty that works for NASA in Las Angeles and another one that work in Oregon. Wikipedia has seven entries for John Erickson, but none of them are the Idaho ballot. There are four numbers listed online for a John Erickson in Idaho. Melinda Smyser appears to be a women from Parma who has little else to do with her money then donate it to the Republican party.

Taylor - Login @robertsrandoms robert.taylor34@gmail.com The idea behind Robert's Random is for me to write about whatever I'm thinking about whenever I'm thinking it. I try to write 3-5 times a week, but sometimes real work gets in the way of that. Sometimes I'll share whatever random thought I might have that day but most of the time, I like to write about things going on in the news. I'm a total news junkie, I spend a lot of time online at various news sites. If I find a story where someone does something totally stupid or I wonder "what were they thinking?" I don't mind pointing it out incase others missed it or taking my best guess at what they were thinking. I like to laugh, I like to make others laugh. There's so much serious and wrong stuff going on in the news that when I find an unusual or light story, I like to use it. And while real life news events might be the focus of many of my blogs, I'm just trying to entertain you, make you laugh and maybe even think about something you didn't know before reading. I'm not trying to break any serious news or deliver any hard-hitting coverage. You'll have to read a paper or watch one of the network shows for that.

I was starting to think, wow Robert, this is the most rediculous thing Ive ever read in my life, but then you got serious. But then you said this:
"If you vote for Obama, you will actually be casting your vote for presidential electors Cecil D. Andrus, Christopher D. Bray, Bethine Church and Dave D. Whaley to vote on your behalf on Jan. 6 since our founding fathers did not think we were smart enough to elect the president on our own. Before the days of 24/7 news, I'm not sure how we were allowed to make up our owns about anything."
Which is the exact reason why I am not wasting my time on going through the process of requesting a absentee ballot and voting. You didnt mention the 2000 election though, when the electorial college got the last word against the popular majorities word.
Barack H. Obama did his best to stop a radio interview he gave in 2001 from being heard during his campaign. He failed. The audio was posted just yesterday on YouTube. It has already been viewed by almost half a million Americans! Please consider passing this brief email on. Don't just send it to fellow Conservatives, but also to your Liberal friends who are about to make the grave mistake of voting for this duplicitous politician from the corrupt Chicago political machine. As in most areas, Obama has two faces. The real Obama and the candidate Obama. This is a rare glimpse into how he really views the Constitution, recorded before his campaign began and he started pretending respect for the Constitution and the Framers.
OBAMA SAYS CONSTITUTION'S "DEEP FLAW" CONTINUES TODAY
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11OhmY1ob...
(This is a word for word transcription of entire audio) "I think we can say that, uh, uh, the Constitution reflected a enormous blind spot in this culture that carries on until this day, and, and, uh, that the Framers had that same blind spot. I, I, I don't think the two views are contradictory to say that it was a remarkable political document, uh, that paved the way for where we are now, and to say that it also, uh, reflected the fundamental flaw of this country that continues to this day."
RADIO INTERVIEW AHOWS OBAMA'S CONTEMPT FOR THE CONSTITUTION; HE COMPLAINS THE SUPREME COURT NEVER "BROKE FREE FROM THE CONSTRAINTS THE FOUNDERS PLACED IN THE CONSTITUTION" WHICH INHIBIT THE "REDISTRIBUTION OF WEALTH."
OBAMA WBEV-FM Radio, Chicago 2001
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iivL4c_3p...
(Highlights from the four minute audio) Obama decries the fact that "…the Supreme Court never ventured into the issues of redistribution of wealth, and sort of, basic issues of political and, and, and economic justice in this society." ("Economic justice in LiberalSpeak means taking money from people who work, and giving to people who won't work.)
He complained that the radical Warren Supreme Court wasn't radical enough, because it "...didn't break free from the essential constraints placed, uh, uh, by the Founding Fathers in the Constitution." He went on to complain that, "The Constitution doesn't say what the… government MUST DO on your behalf." (Things like supplying our every need from cradle to grave, all the while controlling every aspect of our lives.)
The tape concludes with Senator Government saying that the TRAGEDY of the civil rights movement was that the Constitution wasn't radically interpreted to force redistribution of wealth by the government. "We still suffer from that."
In answer to a question from a caller, he said that he didn't know if the courts could bring about "major redistribution of wealth" or "economic justice," but that he believed it could be accomplished politically. (If you were wondering about Obama's presidential priorities, wonder no more.)
Incidentally, in an effort to bolster the radios audience's confidence in his pretended Constitutional expertise, Obama referred to himself as a Law Professor. Just one more of his many lies. The radio interviewer properly introduced him with his real title -- "senior lecturer". This is a position often given to post-graduate students. Obama was never a Professor.
Hi, Robert:
Thanks for referring to my candidacy for President. As it happens, Obama has won the election. The primary reason I ran was that Obama and McCain refused to address the plight of 2 million children in the U.S. annually who are abused, neglected, exploited, abandoned, homeless, and institutionalized through no fault of their own. That's 1 out of 37 children in our great nation. There are 50 million adults (voters) who, as children, suffered from the same political indifference that these children do today. 50 million is greater than the number of U.S. Veterans. I trust Obama will address this important issue when he's in the White House. If not, he'll be hearing from me again.
Blessings, Santa
