In short, suspicions of vote fraud?

Another rerun from last week: A recent hearing sponsored by the Treasury and Labor Departments marked the beginning of the Obama Administration’s effort to nationalize the nation’s pension system and to eliminate private retirement accounts including IRA’s and 401k plans, NSC is warning. [Read this again! The feds are salivating over the prospects of taking YOUR hard earned money which YOU did not spend, placing it instead into an account for your retirement. Well that's just not fair! You must now give it up to the government to run for the benefit of ALL American, if they have their way.]
A representative of the liberal Pension Rights Center, Rebecca Davis, testified that the government needs to get involved because 401k plans and IRAs are unfair to poor people.
"These people want the government to require that ultimately all Americans buy these government annuities instead of saving or investing on their own. The Government could then take these trillions of dollars and redistribute it through this new national retirement system."

Nearly 100 House Republicans on Monday called on President Obama not to nominate Susan Rice as secretary of State.
In a letter to Obama, the 97 Republicans said the credibility of the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations has been gravely wounded by her account of the Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya. http://thehill.com/blogs/floor-action/house/268733-house-gop-warns-obama-against-rice-nomination

You may have heard about bribes offered to kids in order to increase attendance, but what about bribing parents? Chicago schools are doing just that. Parents will be given a $25 dollar gift card to Walgreens if they pick up their child’s report card and attend parent-teacher conferences.
Fox and Friends co-host Brian Kilmeade wondered, “Is it the fact that they’re not flexible enough where the parents are working two jobs and can’t get there on time? Or do they believe that parents […] have that little interest in their children that they need a bribe to go?” http://foxnewsinsider.com/2012/11/20/chicago-schools-bribe-walgreens-parents-attend/#more-99077

In a broad new expansion of HIV screening, an influential government panel now says everyone ages 15 to 65 should be tested for the virus that causes AIDS.
The draft recommendation, issued Monday by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, is far broader than its last recommendation in 2005, which called for screening only those at high risk. http://www.desmoinesregister.com/article/20121120/NEWS/311200041/Screen-everyone-for-HIV-panel-says?News&nclick_check=1

A Senate proposal touted as protecting Americans' e-mail privacy has been quietly rewritten, giving government agencies more surveillance power than they possess under current law.
CNET has learned that Patrick Leahy, the influential Democratic chairman of the Senate Judiciary committee, has dramatically reshaped his legislation in response to law enforcement concerns. A vote on his bill, which now authorizes warrantless access to Americans' e-mail, is scheduled for next week.

The future of the CIA’s unit on climate change and U.S. national security is “in jeopardy” because of pressure for intelligence budget cuts and resistance from conservative lawmakers, a new report says.
The CIA’s Center on Climate Change and National Security opened its doors a year ago over the objections of conservatives who attempted to block its funding, Northwestern University's National Security Reporting Project recounted Monday. [Who knew the CIA's business includes climate change???] http://voices.washingtonpost.com/spy-talk/2011/01/cias_climate-change_unit_faces.html

After months of protesting a policy requiring high school students to wear an RFID-enabled ID badge around their necks at all times, Andrea Hernandez is being involuntarily withdrawn from John Jay High School in San Antonio effective November 26th, according to a letter sent by the district that has now been made public.
The letter, sent on November 13, informs her father that the Smart ID program, which was phased in with the new school year, is now in “full implementation” and requires all students to comply by wearing the location-tracking badges. [Here is my question: why would ANY student allow this to happen to themselves? Where are the parents? Do they even know what Big Brother means?] http://www.infowars.com/student-expelled-for-refusing-location-tracking-rfid-badge/

No
substance, no influence. Nothing underlined this quite like the lack of
crowds greeting Obama in all three nations. When a leader's visit is
cause for hope and a catalyst for change — think Pope John Paul II's
1978 Poland visit — crowds turn out. Obama, supposedly representing the
greatest nation on earth, couldn't draw so much as an Occupy-sized
crowd. Nor did he draw respect.

The "...greatest nation on earth"? What crap. More accurately would have been "the most pathetic nation on earth".
