FLORIDA SECRETARY OF STATE SAYS PURGING VOTERS IS HIS ‘PASSION’ | Florida Secretary of State Ken Detzner has played a key role in implementing the state’s highly-flawed voter purge, which could remove thousands of eligible voters, predominantly Democrats and Latinos, from the rolls. If the vote in Florida is as close as it was in 2000, the voter purge could tip the state (and possibly the presidency) to Mitt Romney. Sunshine State News asked Detzner about these concerns earlier this month and posted his response on YouTube. Detzner maintained that the continuing the voter purge is his “passion” and he has a “moral duty” to continue “moving forward.” Watch it (relevant clip begins at 0:55):

1. And for EVERY mistake he makes

And takes a valid voter off the rolls, he should get sued.

8. Nah, forget suing him. Ten days in federal prison for each mistake.

That might straighten him out a bit.

2. Detzner really puts the "ass" in "passion"

3. There's medication for purge passion.

Mr. Detzner should look into it.

4. Is Mike Papantonio correct? Can Detzner be arrested?

5. Conservative vs. Liberal Minds

Given that no governmental system is perfect, we work to make them as close to perfect as we can, setting rules, policies and laws to work toward that goal.

The Conservative Mind thinks: "We have to make sure that not a single person gets a benefit he/she doesn't deserve. The rules, policies and laws must be engineered to make that certain. Even if that means some people are denied benefits they deserve, at least no one undeserving of a benefit will receive it."

The Liberal Mind thinks: "We have to make sure that every single person who deserves a benefit, receives that benefit. The rules, policies and laws must be engineered to make that certain. Even if that means some people receive benefits they don't deserve, at least those deserving of a benefit will receive it."

The Conservative Mind also thinks: "Oh, and that whole one-party fascist state thing. Gotta make sure that happens."
