This is SO…SO…SO…(there’s just no other word for it!)…DEMOCRATIC!
INDIANAPOLIS — The House of Representatives erupted in rancor Thursday as Democrats used an unprecedented maneuver to record an absent member’s vote through a simultaneous cell phone call and webcam transmission.
BZZZERT!
Thank you for playing. YOU LOSE.
[Dumbocratic House Speaker B. Patrick Bauer] … had hatched the remote voting plan in a last-ditch effort to advance the funding legislation with no Republican votes and not enough Democrats on hand to carry the day.
The voting scheme also surprised rank-and-file Democrats, who said they learned of it only as it was happening. But it was not clear if some would have voted with Republicans to challenge Bauer’s ruling on the appropriateness of the vote, a vote Republicans requested.
That never happened, as Bauer backed down after a long standoff and voided Kromkowski’s vote, but said later that he would do the same thing again under similar circumstances.
He said Kromkowski’s vote was necessary for a constitutional majority on critical legislation, and that available technology allowed lawmakers to verify both Kromkowski’s vote and his intent.
“But Indiana isn’t always ready for prime time,” Bauer said.
With all due respect, Mr. Bauer…FUCK YOU. Do you see anything in the Indiana Constitution that allows this sort of thing to happen? You incredible fraud. Are we now to expect this sort of thing in the general election, too?
The novel process, which Kernan said he supported, involved use of Indiana state troopers here and with Kromkowski, who is recovering from recent coronary bypass surgery.
Sorry. Again, YOU LOSE. Quote chapter and verse from the law — if you dare — supporting this. Oh, come on, it just gets worse:
“You may laugh,” Bauer said as he pointed to Kromkowski’s nearly invisible image on the laptop, “but do not take advantage of illness in order to thwart the people’s will.”
“Thwart the people’s will.” We’ll remember that in November, dickhead.
The Dumbs in the state just keep getting dumber. Too bad the Pubbies are almost as stupid.
