RE: GOP presidential candidates.
Dear Republican Party;
F*** you, Republican Party.
I’m done.
I like to think I’m a forgiving kind of guy, but I’ve had it with the GOP. For years, they’ve known that they can trot whatever asshat they want out there and we, the gunowners, will vote for them.
So, this year they just keep the shit train a rollin’ and give us the commie (Mitt), the Democrat (Rudy), the religious nutbag (Huck) and a candidate who thinks the Bill of Rights is a helpful suggestion but little else (McCain).
I’m not counting Paul because you Republicans don’t want anything to do with him.
The GOP figures it has the gun vote locked up, because look at the alternative… Obama, Hilary, and Edwards.
Guess what, Mr. GOP? Screw you. I’m going third party.
Frankly, I think all Freedom Fiends should, too.
Lest you think this is a Ron Paul stump speech, let me be very clear:
I don’t give a rat’s ass which third party you vote for… just don’t vote mainstream.
Before you waste your time and bandwidth preaching to me about wasting my vote, consider this…
How is voting for McCain, Huck, Mitt, Rudy, Obama, Hilary, or Edwards NOT WASTING MY VOTE?
If any of them are elected (almost assuredly) then I. Am. Screwed. As are you, if you have even the slightest affinity for firearms.
So, let’s spend our votes for a cause.
Don’t stay home, go vote third party.
Vote Paul or Green or Libertarian or Reform or Scientologist… I don’t care.
By voting third party maybe, just maybe, the asshats in power of the Republican party will see that the gun vote is no longer theirs do with as they please. Maybe, just maybe, come 2010 the rat bastards will give us some decent freaking candidates.
God, I feel like the ex-girlfriend that just figured out her ex- only tries to get back together with her long enough to get laid. She keeps taking him back, putting out, then finds him in shower nailing her roommate Cindy.
Enough. I’ve had it.
Tell you what, GOP.
If you decide you want the gun vote back, then get us an honest to God pro-Second Amendment candidate. Give him or her the support you never gave Thompson.
If you prove you really, really care about me and want to stick with me, I might… just might… let you back into my panties.
Until then…. F*** off.

Kalifornia is at it AGAIN! - Ticket Motorists on Their Own Property
"Meter maids in Escondido, California will soon be ticketing motorists who park on their own property. The city yesterday gave preliminary approval to an ordinance that authorizes both meter maids and police to ticket any vehicle stopped on private property with two wheels touching a surface that is not approved by the city for parking purposes."
"Lawn parking became an issue after the city council announced its intention to ban overnight parking on city streets, leaving some motorists with no place to leave their automobile. The move could generate as much as $200,000 in parking tickets in addition to revenue from parking permits."
"...the city can immediately collect $40 from "around the clock" ticketing efforts."
"The ordinance also makes a third violation a misdemeanor crime"

Hey Virginia, Scumbag Albo is at it AGAIN!
This is a TRAFFIC LAWYER scumbag who somehow got elected to the Virginia Legislature. Now that he's there, he's been busy writing traffic laws designed to bring himself more business.
WHAT A SCUM BAG!
"Remember the traffic lawyer/legislator who introduced a law imposing a $1050 'abuser fee' on people who drive more than 10 over? He’s at it again."

8 Questions About Traffic Tickets That Politicians Never Answer
The police and the courts should be funded from general tax revenue, not from the proceeds of exploited citizens.
Why is it that those in power aren’t asking questions like these:
1. How can the courts be viewed as fair and unbiased when much of their operating income is generated from the fines paid by traffic ticket defendants, isn’t there a fairly obvious conflict of interest here?
2. Where’s the ethical justification for the police to issue hundreds or thousands of tickets to motorists who are driving safely and rationally, but in excess of an arguably dangerous and illegal speed limit?
3. What moral objective is being served by charging ticket recipients more money to prevent “points” being applied to their driving record?
4. What is the logic behind fining a driver $300 for running a red light when a police officer issues a ticket, but only $75 when a camera generates the ticket — is the driver getting a break because it’s a lot cheaper for the camera to take a picture then for the cop to write the ticket?
5. Are we really building a better society by heaping fine upon fine and then suspending licenses because the fines aren’t paid?
6. Does it improve the system’s chances of collecting its fines by taking away the defendants ability to find and hold a job?
7. What police officer wants to be thought of as a bagman for the local government, or have his job dictated by how much money he can raise from motorists?
8. What honest judge wants to work in a court system financially dependent on finding defendants guilty?
The classic image of government-endorsed corruption is the “highwayman” with badge and gun extracting money from a compromised traveler with no hope or relief in sight. In the past these scenes were depicted in the wastelands of Mexico, or in the old “Iron Curtain” countries before the Berlin Wall met its deserved end.

How A Red Light Camera Ticket Can Damage Your Credit Without You Knowing It
Bob needed a score of 700 or higher to get the loan, and had it until ACS, a Dallas based company reported an unpaid collection of $100. “My initial reaction was, ‘What could it be?’” asked Bob. “Who is ACS? I don’t have a single dollar owed to a credit card,” he continued. ACS, Affiliated Computer Services, is the private company the City of Dallas hired to run its red light camera program.
As it turns out, several of the cars used by Bob’s company were in his name. Someone driving one of them got a red light ticket in the spring. He didn’t know about the ticket until the collection showed up on his credit report. He still doesn’t know who was behind the wheel. “Was it an employee that had a ticket in the car that thought they could pay it and didn’t want to tell me about it? I don’t know,” said Bob.
According to Fox 4 News, in the first 11 months of Dallas’s red light camera program, ACS and the city reported 11,073 unpaid citations to credit bureaus.

Buy Cigarettes In A Neighboring State, Become A Felon (And Lose Your Rights)!
"The Tennessee Department of Revenue said Friday that it will begin conducting surveillance of state-line tobacco retailers in other states, looking for Tennesseans who are buying cigarettes there to avoid taxes.
Tennessee residents may legally possess no more than two cartons of cigarettes without the state tax stamp."
"Possession of more than two cartons but less than 25 cartons is a misdemeanor. Possession of more than 25 cartons of untaxed cigarettes is a Class E felony.
Contraband cigarettes, and any vehicle in which they are transported, are subject to seizure, Farr said."
I'm glad they don't do this with brunswick stew. I buy cases of that stuff when I go home...

Red Light Camera Corruption, AGAIN!
“My truck crossed the stop line when the light turned red. He (the hearing officer) told me that the stop line is a lateral line parallel to the curb, which is 10 feet farther out (than) where it actually starts,” Hillis says.
For red light cameras, the violation line is an imaginary one – so imaginary that it's missing from the Texas driver's handbook.
