The Complete Guide to ACORN Voter Fraud
They register dead people. But that's not all.

This year there have been several accusations of fraud against ACORN. Over a dozen states are investigating the organization already. Here is a complete list of the ongoing investigations:
North Carolina — State Board of Elections officials have found at least 100 voter registration forms with the same names over and over again. The forms were turned in by ACORN. Officials sent about 30 applications to the state Board of Elections for possible fraud investigation.
Ohio — The New York Post reported that a Cleveland man said he was given cash and cigarettes by aggressive ACORN activists in exchange for registering an astonishing 72 times. The complaints have sparked an investigation by election officials into the organization, whose political wing has supported Barack Obama. Witnesses have already been subpoenaed to testify against the organization.
Nevada — Authorities raided the headquarters of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now on Tuesday October 7, 2008, after a month-long investigation. The fraudulent voter registrations included the Dallas Cowboys starting line-up.
Indiana — More than 2,000 voter registration forms filed in northern Indiana’s Lake County filled out by ACORN employees turned out to be bogus. Officials also stopped processing a stack of about 5,000 applications delivered just before the October 6 registration deadline after the first 2,100 turned out to be phony.
Connecticut — Officials are looking into a complaint alleging ACORN submitted fraudulent voter registration cards in Bridgeport. In one instance, an official said a card was filled out for a 7-year-old girl, whose age was listed as 27. 8,000 cards were submitted in Bridgeport.
Missouri — The Kansas City election board is reporting 100 duplicate applications and 280 with fake information. Acorn officials agreed that at least 4% of their registrations were bogus. Governor Matt Blunt condemned the attempts by ACORN to commit voter fraud.
Pennsylvania — Officials are investigating suspicious or incomplete registration forms submitted by ACORN. 252,595 voter registrations were submitted in Philadelphia. Remarkably, 57,435 were rejected — most of them submitted by ACORN.
Wisconsin — In Milwaukee ACORN improperly used felons as registration workers. Additionally, its workers are among 49 cases of bad registrations sent to authorities for possible charges, as first reported by the Journal Sentinel.
Florida — The Pinellas County Elections supervisor says his office has received around 35 voter registrations that appear to be bogus. There is also a question of 30,000 felons who are registered illegally to vote. Their connections with ACORN are not yet clear.
Texas — Of the 30,000 registration cards ACORN turned in, Harris County tax assessor Paul Bettencourt says just more than 20,000 are valid. And just look at some of the places ACORN was finding those voters. A church just next door is the address for around 150 people. More than 250 people claim a homeless outreach center as their home address. Some listed a county mental health facility as their home and one person even wrote down the Harris County jail at the sheriff’s office.
Michigan — ACORN in Detroit is being investigated after several municipal clerks reported fraudulent and duplicate voter registration applications coming through. The clerk interviewed said the fraud appears to be widespread.
New Mexico – The Bernalillo County clerk has notified prosecutors that some 1,100 fraudulent voter registration cards were turned in by ACORN.
That’s not all. So far this year at least 14 states have started investigations against ACORN. Talk about a culture of corruption. It is so bad that Representatives of Congress have asked for the Justice Department to investigate, and GOP presidential candidate John McCain is bringing it up in his stump speeches. The Obama camp is stealthily altering its “Fight the Smears” website to distance themselves from the organization — quite a challenge considering how close their candidate’s association has been with the group.
The liberal vs. conservative, voter fraud vs. voter intimidation debate will no doubt continue after this election. But this year, with the assistance of scandal-plagued ACORN, it appears that — so far — the voter fraud side is winning.

1. David Thomson:Barack Obama is a very dangerous man. It is very fair to describe him as something of a secular anti-Christ. No, he does not have 666 branded on his forehead! Let’s not get ridiculous. But he is a Saul Alinsky style Trojan Horse who wishes to destroy our Constitutional rights. Obama wants to primarily take away our First Amendment rights—and voting rights. Never forget that he has a long and intimate relationship with ACORN. Obama has also spent large sums of money on this vile national group to help him achieve victory on Election Day. The heck with being pro-McCain. You should primarily be motivated to vote because of your fear of Obama.
Oct 14, 2008 - 1:20 am 2. schnargley:You conservatives want to have your cake and eat it too. You wanted us of the Left to stop bombing, terrorizing and committing acts of revolutionary rage and participate in the institutions of democracy. Now that we put aside our kidnappings, molotovs, and urine bags to participate in the democratic process, you still complain.
Oct 14, 2008 - 1:24 am 3. Ed Wallis:Between ZerObama’s involvement with ACORN and his recent Marxist chant:
“It’s not that I want to punish your success, I just want to make sure that everybody that is behind you, that they have a chance for success too. I think that when you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everybody.”
I don’t see what any informed American could find to motivate them to vote for him.

…and “schnargley”…since no one has yet to put forward any evidence that you are a wry conservative, witty in your absurd imitations of Leftist tripe, please note that, to “participate in the democratic process” does not - I repeat - NOT - include voter registration FRAUD.

Oct 14, 2008 - 1:38 am 4. David Thomson:“Now that we put aside our kidnappings, molotovs, and urine bags to participate in the democratic process, you still complain.”
It’s not enough that you put away your “kidnappings, molotovs, and urine bags.” Non-violent criminal behavior is also not acceptable. I can find no evidence, it must be added, that Barack Obama is personally a violent man. He does, however, provide amply evidence that he is willing to engage in deceitful practices if they will help him politically. Once again, he is clearly a follower of Saul Alinsky. The late radical leftist believed that the end justifies the means. The capitalist system, after all, is “inherently corrupt.” Those like Obama who subscribe to this mindset are inevitably dangerous individuals. They are to be feared.

What exactly is the BENEFIT the Dem. Candidates derive from having thousands of bogus Democrat names on the voter rolls on Election Day UNLESS someone actually goes to a polling place and casts a fraudulent vote? Is there ANY evidence this has been done?

Oct 14, 2008 - 4:11 am 8. wpb:This can’t be a suprise to anyone. Didn’t we hear from Fatma Ali(?) and others a few weeks back, that should the Messiah not be Annointed, we could face a race war? Voter fraud is just a warm up for the big game it appears.
Monofaiki: I think the short answer is absentee ballots. That’s what has the folks in Ohio so concerned.
Oct 14, 2008 - 4:16 am 9. Barb:I could be wrong on this, but I think the biggest problem with ACORN may be that they give money and cigarettes to very poor people to get them to register. They even tell them that it is perfectly fine to register more than once or multiple times. They pay these people by the number of “voters” they sign up. The whole thing is a scam and a sham all the way around. Will we ever have another election where judges are not involved?

RE: The 6th Circuit Court of Appeals
I think the two judges who decided this are going to be VERY sorry.
Considering what happened in 2000, I think that if there is reasonable cause to believe illegal voting occurs in Ohio this November, there’s going to be a recount. And if there is, these two judges are going to look like fools for not allowing proper verification of voter eligibility BEFORE the election instead of after it.

“What exactly is the BENEFIT the Dem. Candidates derive from having thousands of bogus Democrat names on the voter rolls on Election Day UNLESS someone actually goes to a polling place and casts a fraudulent vote? Is there ANY evidence this has been done?”
The problem, manofaiki, is just how long after Obama, peace be upon him, is sworn in would we find out how many were fraudulent votes.
Illegal registered voters are the loaded gun left out on the table with a two-year old in the room. Must we wait until the gun is fired before we correct the situation? Or do we act rationally and remove the gun, and punish those who think it ok to leave the gun there in the first place.
I go for option 2.
“Nuke it from orbit, its the only way to be sure…”
Oct 14, 2008 - 4:44 am 13. frankg:So… just from glancing at the stats listed here…about 101,000 possibly false voter registrations. At least 70,000.
Oct 14, 2008 - 4:45 am 14. Jeff Soyer:Just smears, huh, bo?
Let’s dig deeper on those foreign donations, I think those use bogus names too…
Democrats benefit the most because of WHERE the group ACORN is seeking to register voters, too, even the live-and-kicking ones — in urban and city areas likely to vote Democratic.
Oct 14, 2008 - 4:50 am 15. Mark:Obliterating actual voter fraud by sheer numbers of registrations, perhaps? Overwhelming state/county election staff with a blizzard of obviously fraudulent registrations while more sophisticated fraudulent votes (such as voting in two states, or from two addresses in the same state, or voting a recently deceased spouse/significant other) are tabulated?
Oct 14, 2008 - 4:52 am 16. Tom T:Could it be possible fodder for post election lawsuits claiming voter suppression?
I’m just guessing here, I don’t see the upside for Democrats in this either…
Yes those people vote. In Waashington State, 1200 votes came from 1 address. They have found dead people voting in Texas.
Its not their ideas that bother me., its their methods. They will turn us into a bananna republic. Do liberals or Democrats ever acknowledge anything? It amazes me that they do not understand how bad this is for the entire nation. All it is coming down to is a raw power struggle.
Oct 14, 2008 - 5:03 am 17. Patrick Chester:schnargley claimed:

Voter fraud is NOT participating in the democratic process, it’s an attempt to subvert it.
Oct 14, 2008 - 5:03 am 18. Irving:Perhaps we’re not aware that, in most states, ACORN is required to turn in all voter registration forms? Even the ones that are obviously fraudulent?
McCain certainly didn’t have a problem with ACORN when he was headliner at an event sponsored by them in 2006.
Of course, that conference was on immigration reform. Since then, as we all know, McCain has been forced, a la Galileo, go embrace the orthodox Republican position on that issue. And of course, the “original maverick” will keep his word on that, right?
Oct 14, 2008 - 5:06 am 19. Boris:“Somebody explain this to me. ACORN obviously would not put all the time and effort into submitting all of these thousands upon thousands of bogus voter registration cards UNLESS there was some benefit to the Democratic Party and it’s candidates from this.”
The reason there are so many fraudulent registrations is not because of some conspiracy to rig a election. It’s because ACORN pays people by how many regs they turn in, so individuals are engaging in fraud because it’s easier than working. Combine that with piss-poor oversight and you get thousands of fraudulent voter registrations turned in.
Sorry conspiracy theorists
Oct 14, 2008 - 5:08 am 20. Barbara:The upside is that on Election Day, they can take a busload of people, have them vote at one polling place under fraudulent names, then take the same people onto another polling place to do the same thing. I know this has happened in New York; I assume it goes on elsewhere. In 2004, some inner city districts in Philadelphia claimed turnout equal to the entire adult population of the district, and at least one in Detroit claimed
Oct 14, 2008 - 5:13 am 21. Wellspring:over 100% turnout! I also think Mark is correct–the great flood of applications make it hard to detect any fraud–but not all of it is as sophisticated as he suggests.
In many areas, especially urban areas, democrats have the personnel and the overwhelming local power to turn into vote factories pumping up statewide totals. Ever notice how urban polling locations have some kind of problem early on and get special court permission to stay open late? As the results from the rest of a state pour in, officials have time to (if the margin is already close enough) do something about the total.
They cry vote fraud early and often… but election fraud is an old tradition for the democrats. They oppose voter id checks, along with just about every other vote integrity measure as “intimidation”. It’s interesting because it’s TRUE– these techniques were used by the old political machines (both parties), and also by segregationists (mostly southern democrats).
Mr. Hoft, this is a great roundup. I was wondering, though. My recollection is that initially the congressional democrats insisted on federal funding for ACORN as a condition of their support of the bailout. Is this true? Do you have any details?
Oct 14, 2008 - 5:14 am 22. Alison:Does it really even matter? What difference is there between McCain and Obama, after all? Wouldn’t it be better if you just stayed home instead of voting next month? I mean, if ACORN is willing to go to all this trouble, it must be because something has inspired them, right? If you don’t feel inspired enough to work for your candidate, then stop whining about people who do.
Oct 14, 2008 - 5:28 am 23. Bill N:For once Boris hit the nail on the head. The Democrats are committing fraud because they are too lazy to work. Still sounds like a conspiracy to me, though.
Oct 14, 2008 - 5:33 am 24. JinnyB:Lest you forget, in various places - Ohio being one example - they do a combination same day registration and early vote. So in many cases this is much worse than just being fraudulent registrations, many of these represent fraudulent votes that have already cast.
I suspect that if the votes case were counted today, Obama would likely win in all 57 states by a margin of about 1.3 million votes to zero for McCain.
And yes, ACORN was funded as part of the bailout - to the tune of 20% of the money, and 20% of the repayments, amounting to as much as 280 BILLION dollars in the original bill. ACORN is not explicity named in the second bailout bill, but they are indirectly funded in that bill, as well.

From Crony Capitalism to Crony Community Organizing: “Profit” Loophole in Bailout Bill Doesn’t Require Net Profits.
Much of the blogosphere is up in arms because of the provision in Senator Dodd’s financial bailout bill that might funnel profits from the bailout plan to ACORN Housing (related to the disreputable activist group ACORN), and other more reputable service organizations.
I have read Dodd’s proposed statute and in some respects, it is far worse than has been reported. Senator Dodd has placed a loophole in the bill that is explicitly designed to siphon off tens or hundreds of billions of dollars to the Housing Trust Fund and the Capital Magnet Fund even if there are no net profits in the $700 billion venture.
[which then go to ACORN! See the rest of the info on the Volokh site.]

These tactics by ACORN are not new. They’ve been going on for a decade and more, always with the exact same types of problems. This election cycle things are happening on a grand scale, which is why there seems to have been more than some glancing media attention. If fraud were an incidental byproduct of ACORN’s operating procedure rather than the primary intent, they have had plenty of time (10+ years) to clean up their act, especially with the record of criminal prosecutions. That they haven’t cleaned up their act but instead gone full steam ahead with the same-old shuck & jive, targeting the swing states, spells out quite clearly:
Fraud isn’t a bug with ACORN, it’s a feature.

In Wisconsin, Doyle and friends are sitting on their hands, waiting it out until after the election because they know it is to their advantage. Somehow, some action needs to be done in order to mitigate this mess before November.

The intent of the mass-scale counterfeiter is not to get his hands on a TV here or an iPod there; it is to cause havoc in the entire system.
With just weeks to go before the election, ACORN is flooding the systems in select swing states with fraudulent registrations in order to overwhelm the resources of local boards of elections (not known for being lavishly funded or staffed). Call it ACORN’s version of “shock and awe.” Everything that comes after is a bonus for ACORN and their fellow travelers: every fake registration that then allows a fraudulent vote to be cast … the mere existence of mountains of fake registrations which then casts doubt on the legitimacy of very vote should a recount be necessary … and the helpful factor of electronic voting machines which leave no way to tie the vote back to the voter should recount be necessary ….
If ACORN can game the system, via fraudulent votes, to produce a win for Obama in the swing states … they’ve accomplished their mission.
If ACORN can sow enough seeds of chaos, via fraudulent registrations, to produce one big fat flying mess should the vote in several swing states be close enough to trigger recounts … they’ve accomplished their mission. In this scenario, even if McCain wins on recount (after months of lawsuits and counter-lawsuits having flayed & delayed recount efforts), the left can scream “illegitimate president!”
In other words … heads, ACORN wins; tails, ACORN wins.
Evil genius, to be sure.

The benefit, at least in states like Ohio, is ACORN took advantage of a loophole in the law that allowed people to register and absentee vote all in the same day! And now that those votes are cast, how is Ohio (or any other state that allowed this sham) supposed to remove these fraudulent votes from the real ones? Something like this could clearly steal an election!

It’s called absentee ballots. See Washington States last Gubernatorial election for a win for the Democrat due to a bunch of absentee ballot they “found” in one county officals car trunk during a court ordered recount.
This is well beyond the standard issue denials ACORN uses of their hirees committing fraudulent acts without the knowledge of ACORN, because this goes on year after year after year without ACORN cleaning up its act. Ever.
ACORN is a leftwing organization dedicated to overthrowing elections using fraudulent votes. This particular chicken may be coming home to roost as more and more states investigate and find the same thing going on. Obama has trained them for years and is busily scrubbing his website of any mention of long term associations with this criminal organization.
Oct 14, 2008 - 6:41 am 43. cfbleachers:Pay to gather registrations started at $8 an hour, and the goal was 20 signups per day. The organization did not pay by the signature or pay bonuses for volume. Anyone who tells you this, is simply uninformed, or is lying to make this look less nefarious.
In addition, if anyone tells you that it is not an issue in the general election…both directly and indirectly, is also uninformed or is lying to you. There are reverberations related to polling, related to issuance of absentee ballots, …a hundred outcomes that are tainted by fraudulent registrations. The fertile ground for general election mischief is enhanced…and in swing states, it doesn’t take much to push an election over the top for the candidate who benefits from the fraud.
As for Sen. McCain’s involvement with ACORN vs. the depth of involvement by Sen. Obama and the Democrats, let’s not engage in naked sophistry, shall we? Leave that argument to the puerile and terminally inane, and let’s keep the discussion on a higher plane here.
ALL of the fraud, found in EVERY state to date…were votes registered for Obama. This is Obama’s base, this is an organization that endorsed Obama, it is one he actively participated in promoting, defending and championing.
It was founded by yet another radical extremist, a former member of the SDS. And it is yet another example of “by any means necessary”.
Anyone with an ounce of scruples remaining, cannot…will not…attempt to defend widespread fraud in our election system. Isn’t it time to decide if it is more important to be honorable than it is to be a leftist? Or has that train left the station…when you turned a blind eye toward even the pretense of fairness and integrity in our information stream?
Oct 14, 2008 - 6:44 am 44. SAF:Acorn is just another example of the brilliance of Obama. The rapidity with which Acorn can get additional Obama voters combined with MSM giving them a pass on these activities and the fact that these illegal voters will vote and the vote will count shows an incredible ability to analyze data and come up with the proper solution.
Elections are typically close and enough of these improper votes will guarantee an Obama win and lots of democrats. Even if fraud is uncovered later on (assuming the new power elite even allow an investigation) the chances of a recall are zero.
The Obama strategy of getting lots of money and lots of voters and lots of ads will in the end overwhelm the Republicans. Its been his plan all along and it will work.

Oct 14, 2008 - 7:01 am 47. Fred:Complete garbage - notice how the article fails to mention a few key points:
1 - ACORN flagged questionable registrations before turning them into the government- resulting in all these recent investigations.
2 - ACRON has NEVER been accused of throwing an actual election - in fact, hackmeister hoft doesn’t EVEN allege that a single election has been thrown because of voter fraud - much less ACORN fraud. Hackmeister Hoft refuses to detail the obvious: voter registraion fraud and election fraud are two completely different articles…
3 - John McCain has ALSO particpated with ACORN.
TPM Hack Hoft accuses Obama of key participation in this group - another lie - Obama participated, as a lawyer, in a DOJ lawsuit - on the same side of ACORN, and donated money to their voter registration efforts - he also was involved with two training sessions registering voters - end of story - hardly a key player in an orgainzation that started when Obama was still a child.
This is just more right wing racism parading as concern. ACORN registers 1.2 million new voters - 40 percent of them republicans, and a handful are of concern and the right - suddenly concerned about election fraud - wrings their hands. When confronted by actual instances of voter supression in 2000 - all the right could do is scoff…

Oct 14, 2008 - 7:45 am 52. Asher:This is just more right wing racism parading as concern.
Large amounts of Democrat Party political capital derive from transferring resources from white people to blacks and hispanics. Basically, blacks and hispanics who vote Democrat do so because they think they’ll get more free stuff from taxpayers, i.e. whites. Is it any wonder, then, that the concern about voter fraud among organizations that are disproportionately minority occur among white people?
Remember Howard Dean’s supposed gaffe about the Republican Party being a party of white people? Well, I don’t see that this is very remarkable given that the one of the Democrat Party’s main power bases consists of taking stuff away from whites and giving it to non-whites.
There is no such thing as racism. All behaviors that get categorized as “racist” can be traced back to male sexual competition; e.g. Jim Crow laws.

Just wondering?
Oct 14, 2008 - 8:03 am 54. Sam:Lets move to the purple finger! That will keep it to one person/one vote. And what about election fraud? Voter fraud is one person at a time. Election fraud is thousands at a time, facilitated by the counting on optical machines, and touch screen secretive bugs, and the purging of the voter rolls, and the mis-allocation of voting booths…ALL executed by Republican Secy’s of State in 2000 and 2004. The purging of legitimate voter registrations by the tens of thousands is a cancer far worse than the idiocies of ACORN’s stupid volunteers. BTW, Acorn flags the suspect registrations for elections boards, so its not like the boards are ‘discovering’ this, they are handed them pre-flagged, and ACORN has been 100% cooperative with each state, and they are FOR prosecution of violators. Forest for the trees, kiddies.
Oct 14, 2008 - 8:03 am 55. Edmund Jenks (MAXINE):Why don’t we call it what it is - Politics By Alliance … Not Association!
The Obama campaign and the Democrat Party would be less effective in the General Election if it were not for the money of social engineering giants Fannie Mae and Freddie MAC combined with the mushy “Rush To Register” tactics of ACORN.
Face it, in the General Election, Dems do not have a chance without fudging a mile while acting like they know where the political “Center” is located.
ACORN - that’s a seed that could use a good mortar and pestle Ala the Cahuenga Indians!
I say it’s time to eat.
Oct 14, 2008 - 8:04 am 56. Saltherring:King County (Seattle) recorded several hundred more ballots than voters in the November 2004 election. Upon investigation, hundreds of felons, dead people, unverifiable addresses and multiple registrations were unearthed. During two recounts for governor, boxes of “mystery” ballots appeared from nowhere, and fraudulent provisionals were counted as valid votes. Washington’s Secretary of State accepted the results even though King County’s totals were within thousands of reconciling. Most Washingtonians still believe the King County Democrat Party stole the 2004 governors election. Washington State’s Republican Party filed suit, but King County successfully stonewalled requests for public disclosure of evidence until after the trial. Media complicity was also a factor. Acorn is still alive and active in urban Washington State, where 25 years of one-party rule has effectively destroyed the state’s private business sector.

Oct 14, 2008 - 8:09 am 58. Bandit:I don’t see what any informed American could find to motivate them to vote for him.
Aside from the well deserved motivation to vote out the GOP I have to agree with you. Whenever I hear anyone over the age of 12 say they really like zer0bama or that they believe his new ideas my estimate of their IQ drops about 50 points.
Oct 14, 2008 - 8:24 am 59. ex-democrat:“Sorry conspiracy theorists.” - hilarious to hear that coming from the cretins that have spouted “bush lied, people died” for the past 5 years.

Oct 14, 2008 - 8:32 am 60. Bonnie_:There’s one bright spot in all this ACORN rottenness.
The major polls are all weighting the samples based on voter registration, which is now heavily skewed Democrat. But those new “voters” are almost entirely bogus and those that are real might not remember to put down the bong and get to the voting booth come election day. (Remember “Obama-girl” from YouTube, who couldn’t find the time to cast a vote in the primary?)
This means McCain is not 4 points behind in the polls — he’s more likely, and realistically — 8-10 points ahead. Turn out of real voters will decide this election, and that’s an encouraging thought.
Oct 14, 2008 - 8:33 am 61. ex-democrat:Sam - I think you mean The “Democratic” Party.

There is nothing democratic about that party.
Oct 14, 2008 - 8:48 am 68. Therese:The voter fraud and the biased polling go hand in hand. If the polling makes it look like Obama should win by a certain percentage, then no one questions the votes. Thus, the voter fraud is less obvious.
Suspicions get raised more if Obama wins, but the polls said otherwise. Thus, we now also know one of the reasons why the polling in the battleground states are showing Obama with a slight lead. This is to help cover-up some of the fraud.
What do we do?
1) Continue to put pressure on the states to expose voter fraud. This way, they won’t be able to do as much.
2) MAKE SURE THAT WE VOTE! We outnumber the cheats. The more people that vote, the less of an impact (percentage wise) these fraudulent votes will have on the outcome.
It’s imperative that all of us McCain/Palin voters get out and vote! Part of the Obama and media effort going on right now is to discourage us from voting. We can win if we all vote.

Oct 14, 2008 - 9:40 am 83. Asher:“Large amounts of Democrat Party political capital derive from transferring resources from white people to blacks and hispanics. Basically, blacks and hispanics who vote Democrat do so because they think they’ll get more free stuff from taxpayers, i.e. whites.”
Nice, klanny - it wouldn’t have anything to do with the modern republican party’s racism ala jessie Helms and co?
it’s all that FREE stuff…
Actually, yes, it really just is all about the free stuff. See, the problem is that people invest themselves in a project by engaging themselves through contribution to that project. Huge swaths of blacks and hispanics contribute absolutely nothing to that project, if you use tax dollars as a proxy for contribution. Joe Biden spoke a glimmer of truth when he equated tax-paying and patriotism. America, any nation-state really, is a project, and one contributes to that project through paying taxes. If one, or an entire community, pays no or little tax then it has little investment in that project.
For most blacks and hispanics today the American project is nothing more than free stuff coming from other people. And I’m not talking about welfare. What I am talking about is the vast array of social infrastructure, such as roads, schools and hospitals that is paid for by tax dollars.
A former Singaporean prime minister noted that in a multi-ethnic society people invariably vote their ethnic, rather than class/economic/religious affiliations. what he dimly expressed is that what we call “racism” is the natural human instinct. A truly post-racial society must be one that forces all groups, even the most disadvantaged, away from ethnic identity, or the project is doomed to failure.
Southern racism existed for one reason only: to keep black men from mating with white women. We may dislike the methods that the Klan used, but their reasoning behind segregation was dead on. Black males marry white females at ratios of 3 to 1 over the reverse. Cohabiation rates are about 5.5 to 1, and “dating” is somewhere around 10 to 1, depending on how the question is asked.
When I point out that blacks and hispanics who vote Democrat do so solely for the purpose of getting more free stuff, I am not condemning them. Just pointing out the reality of the matter. Maybe you can even say such transfers of resources are morally justified. But moral justification does not change the fact of the matter.
Oct 14, 2008 - 9:43 am 84. Stan:Check out the ACORN website and today’s Washington Post. McCain was the keynote speaker at an ACORN rally in Florida on February 20, 2006. He was drumming up support for his immigration bill. Glass houses?
Oct 14, 2008 - 9:44 am 85. Asher:To put it bluntly, what we call “racism” is the natural, genetically determined, state of all human affairs. Any situation where “racism” is not an issue is one where every ethnic group involved is rigorously committed to overcoming that brute instinct.
Having grown up in America and rigorously socialized into “anti-racism”, this post-racial aesthetic appeals to me. But it is probably the most difficult cultural achievement possible for human beings, and it is severely on the ropes. The amount of political capital in the Democratic Party dedicated to transferring resources from whites to blacks/hispanics has been and will continue to grow in the future.
My personal sentiments, or anyone’s setiments, can counteract the forces that are undermining the potential of the post-racial project.
Oct 14, 2008 - 9:49 am 86. Asher:*cannot counteract the forces* <=== oops

Oct 14, 2008 - 9:50 am 88. Rob Crawford:“Acorn is reaction to election officials making it HARD to register.”
Uh, you only need to register once, then as long as you live in the same precinct and vote regularly, you can keep voting. There’s also this “motor voter” law that makes it so you can register to vote just about any time you have contact with the government, such as when you’re renewing your license or plates.
It’s ludicrously simple to register; it’s intended to be easy to register. If ACORN were really interested in the quality of the registrations they were producing, they’d:
o Stop paying by the piece. Pay an hourly wage. Heck, maybe even pay minimum wage! I understand they’ve had some issues with that…
o Stop hiring felons. Yeah, I know, it’s nice to give people who are trying to get their lives straight a chance, but maybe it’s more important to generate some trust in your efforts?
o Stop being involved in fraudulent registrations across the country every two years, like clockwork. It’s hard to believe they’re innocent when they keep making the same “mistakes” over and over and over. It’s like they INTEND to screw up, and do so in a way that lets them blame it on some less-than-minimum wage flunky rather than owning up that it’s their policy.
There are two purposes to all the fraudulent registrations: first, they flood registrars, preventing the uncovering of other forms of vote fraud. Second, for all the Mickey Mouses and Charles Barkely’s registered to vote, there’s likely a core of known names unattached to any real people. On election day, people can be driven to a polling place, told the name they’re going to use, and then go in and vote. These fictional people may also place absentee votes, especially given the recent drive to loosen up requirements for absentee votes.
The sad thing is, it’s not necessary for any of this to actually be done; it’s the POSSIBILITY that it’s being done, in a coordinated manner, with intent to defraud elections, that damages society. Unless you WANT to steal elections, there’s no reason to condone ACORN’s behavior. When people DO condone that behavior, it’s proper to question WHAT they place at a higher priority than a clean election.
One thing that’s annoyed me the past eight years is that for all the left’s screaming about DIEBOLD!!! and electronic voting machines, they’ve dug in their heels and opposed any attempt at ensuring the person casting a vote is actually entitled to cast that vote. If electronic vote fraud were an actual concern, wouldn’t it have been smart to add legislation addressing that concern to voter ID requirement legislation? Wouldn’t it have shown a belief in the need for clean elections?
And, hey, for you folks who actually think Diebold is part of some conspiracy to steal elections, if Republicans had rejected any attempt to deal with electronic fraud, you’d certainly have something valid to crow about!

They are trying to influence the currnet polls…to supress the center/right turnout. By falsely increasing the democratic registration numbers, the polls make it look like Obama is going to win running away. It makes the media tout this and that discourages McCain’s supporters who may elect to stay home on election day. They know that America is a center/right nation and the only way they win is to have those center/right folks stay home.
Oct 14, 2008 - 10:16 am 91. Asher:Consider the two following theories of justice:
A) Justice is how people act
B) Justice is what the world looks like after people have acted
The first is generally what Republicans hold, while the second is generally what Democrats hold. If “justice” is ultimately about the disparity of wealth between rich and poor, and voter fraud results is lower wealth disparities then voter fraud IS justice.
In fact, if “B” is the correct form of justice then not allowing voter fraud is, in itself, unjust.
Oct 14, 2008 - 10:18 am 92. Belinda:God, I never knew what was meant by the right-wing conspiracies……Now I see it in action..Registered voters have to be checked against goverment records. People who are dead are not allowed to vote. How in heaven do you vote more than once? My name is listed at my voting station. When I arrive, it is marked off. When there was a mistake and my name was not on the list, the other stations were called. My name was added to this station and removed from the other…..No way could I vote twice. Maybe you need to start asking the counties and towns what they are doing to keep this from happening. When you have an organization as large as ACORN, you will always have some “bad apples”. They are working with the governments trying to keep the fraudulent registrations off the books. This is fraudulent registration of voters; NOT fraudulent voting…You don’t think that absentee ballots aren’t checked against some type of record?? By the way, I am a registered Republican!

If I had to go to the post office to get a card that wouldn’t have been very difficult either.

I wish the FBI would do some sting operations in swing states and record the conversations with ACORN canvassers. I’d like to see some feds testify in these investigations. I also wish they’d go undercover in the shelters on election day when ACORN comes around with their busses to drive people to the polls. You know ACORN workers are telling people to vote for Obama and not simply to vote. We’ve got to get some agents on those busses to record what’s being said. I recently saw an interview with one ACORN rep, and she admitted to telling the early voters in Ohio to vote for Obama while they were all on the bus with her. In the middle of the interview she realized what she’d done and ran away. Is this illegal? I’m not sure, but it definitely smells funny. I’m accosted almost daily on the street by Obama flunkies screaming at me to vote for Obama, so I’m not sure if it’s per se illegal for ACORN to try to tell people to vote for Obama, but I do think there is a fine line between advocacy and force, especially with a captive audience on a bus. I believe there’s a law prohibiting candidates’ advocates to station themselves near polling places, so I don’t see how it’s proper for ACORN reps to be telling people whom to vote for as they’re driving to the polls.
This is so utterly ridiculous, and I fear that republicans and independents will stay home for fear that it’s a lost cause for McCain. This ACORN thing should get us all out in force to make sure that Obama doesn’t win by default.

One can also get additional votes by being registered in multiple states, by absentee ballot. Also, the dead people on those roles. More absentee ballots. Fake people listed at vacant lots or churches. More absentee ballots. Election officials in Florida and Ohio have been quite open about their not checking voter roles or scrubbing their lists. Unqualified voters can vote. No ID check at the polls in some states. More vote fraud. All these shenanigans have been caught and prosecuted and they have ACORNs fingerprints all over them. Can anyone name any other “voters advocacy” group with as much verifiable history of fraudulent registrations being submitted, especially from the conservatives?
OF course McCain would go to ACORN for his amnesty bill; it’s where they agree and it would bring yet more Democrat registered “voters”.
But, Obama’s being involved with ACORN extensively, to include training them year after year? These aren’t the droids you’re looking for…move along.

Fraud is rampant in the election process, and it does happen. The election boards are overwhelmed with voter cards because ACORN has waited until the very last possible moment to submit the bulk of them. Lots of fraudulent cards will slip through the cracks, and people will vote more than once under different names and in different counties. Many jurisdictions don’t require ID to vote. Yes, it happens, and it will happen, and ACORN is making sure that it does happen. I know you’d like to think that everyone is honest, but that is naive. I’m very happy that you will only be voting once. You will not be going to jail. Good for you.
Bill Ayers Endorsed Radical Pro-Homosexual Education Book
Oct 14, 2008 - 10:45 am 111. Sphere:We know why Accorn and the fake votes are about promoteing left wing
You knew he is an unrepentant domestic terrorist who set bombs in the U.S. Capitol, the Pentagon and several other government buildings. You knew Ayers still hates capitalism and our efforts to protect South Vietnam from communist oppression. And you knew that Barack Obama associated with him anyway. What you may not have known is that Ayers is a radical supporter of the homosexual agenda. WorldNetDaily features a piece by Linda Harvey on a book endorsed by Bill Ayers called “Queering Elementary Education: Advancing the Dialogue about Sexualities and Schooling” by William J. Letts IV and James T. Sears.
This entire argument makes me laugh. The right wing actually thinks ACORN is ammunition against Obama! To quote from the post, ACORN “is a community-based organization that advocates for low and moderate income families.” Given that the GOP is generally identified as the party of big business, can you actually imagine that this plays as anything other than “Rich Republicans try to crush the little guys?”
At a time in the campaign when the right wing is throwing the kitchen sink at Obama, this looks like just another cynical political ploy to everyone who wasn’t already in the tank for McCain.

Barack Obama is a very dangerous man
Translation; “he’s black”..
There is a little bit of truth to this comment. Black voters who vote democrat do so soley for the purpose of getting free stuff. Logically, then, most black politicians will tend to govern based on the principle of getting free stuff for their community. This dynamic spells the death knell, long term, for any multiethnic democracy.
Obama will win the presidency precisely because he has convinced enough white voters that he is beyond the “big man” political dynamic found in black populations from Zimbabwe to Detroit. Whether or not he is actually beyond this dynamic remains to be seen after his election.
Hopefully, he lives up to that promise.

I thought so another GOP lie
Palin blasts Obama for opposing legal protections for infant abortion survivors
CNA ^ | October 14, 2008
Posted on Tuesday, October 14, 2008 11:53:00 by NYer
Gov. Sarah Palin
Johnstown, Oct 14, 2008 / 06:15 am (CNA).- Republican vice-presidential nominee Gov. Sarah Palin, in a speech at a Saturday rally in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, has attacked what she called Democratic presidential nominee Sen. Barack Obama’s “extreme and troubling” stand on abortion. Palin argued that there are few issues more important than who is protected under law and insisted that everyone “belongs in the circle of protection.”
“As defenders of the culture of life, John McCain and I believe in the goodness and potential of every innocent life,” Gov. Palin began. “I believe the truest measure of any society is how it treats those who are least able to defend and speak for themselves. And who is more vulnerable, or more innocent, than a child?”
“Every innocent life matters,” she continued. “Everyone belongs in the circle of protection. Every child has something to contribute to the world, if we give them that chance. There are the world’s standards of perfection … and then there are God’s, and these are the final measure. Every child is beautiful before God, and dear to Him for their own sake.”
Palin recalled how she greeted the news that her youngest son Trig would have “special needs” before turning to an attack upon Sen. Obama.
“At first I was scared, and Todd and I had to ask for strength and understanding. But I can tell you a few things I’ve learned already. … As for our beautiful baby boy, for Todd and me, he is only more precious because he is vulnerable. In some ways, I think we stand to learn more from him than he does from us. When we hold Trig and care for him, we don’t feel scared anymore. We feel blessed,” Palin said.
“It’s hard to think of many issues that could possibly be more important than who is protected in law and who isn’t – who is granted life and who is denied it. So when our opponent, Senator Obama, speaks about questions of life, I listen very carefully.”
Palin attacked Obama’s remarks he made in a Johnstown appearance about not wanting his daughters “punished with a baby.”
“It’s about time we called him on it,” she said, charging that the Democratic presidential candidate is “vague and evasive” on the subject.
Palin argued that Obama has voted against bills to end partial-birth abortion, citing Democratic Sen. Patrick Moynihan’s description of the procedure as “too close to infanticide.”
She then noted Obama’s Illinois Senate votes against the Born Alive Infants Protection Act (BAIPA), charging:
“Barack Obama wouldn’t even stand up for the rights of infants born alive during an abortion. These infants – often babies with special needs – are simply left to die. “
She also stated that Obama had misrepresented his record on BAIPA.
“In short, Senator Obama is a politician who has long since left behind even the middle ground on the issue of life. He has sided with those who won’t even protect a child born alive,” Palin asserted.
Noting that there are many concerns at issue in the election, Palin commented:
“It’s easy to forget even as deep and abiding a concern as the right to life. And it seems our opponent hopes that you will forget. Like so much else in his agenda, he hopes you won’t notice how radical his ideas and record are until it’s too late.”
She claimed that Obama would support “activist courts” that will “continue to smother the open and democratic debate we need on this issue, at both the state and federal level.”
Earlier that week, in a Thursday interview with radio show host Laura Ingraham, Palin called Obama’s position on the Illinois BAIPA “absolutely atrocious” and “appalling,” Cybercast News Service says.
“I wish I had more time to explain to people what Barack Obama’s position has been on this. Because I think, Laura, it has been missing out there in the discussion, in the debate, about the choices that they have in candidates on November 4th.”
“I think that if more Americans could understand how absolutely extreme that position is, there would be a heck of a lot more outrage than we already see,” she continued.
Palin also attacked Obama’s BAIPA position while speaking at a town hall meeting in Waukesha, Wisconsin on Thursday.
“What I don’t find compassionate is Barack Obama’s vote, as an Illinois senator, when three times he had the chance to vote to be able to provide health care for a child who was born alive as a result of a botched abortion,” she said.
Oct 14, 2008 - 11:01 am 118. Patriotic American:You are all so rabid. Is there an antidote for this Republican fury? Way to try to tie everything to Obama. McCain was also involved with ACORN. You repeat untruths about Obama constantly. It’s obvious that you all watch Fox news too much. For shame.

What in the world dores this have to do withacorn and voter fraud???
Oct 14, 2008 - 11:09 am 120. proud elitist:Wow. Surprised that a few of you actually got it right that this is voter registration fraud, not voting fraud. And that ACORN often flags these themselves. And that McCain was also tied to ACORN.
But you whiny-losers-to-be just have dramatize this scenario. Yes, there are inherent problems with ACORN. But the statistics of falsified registrations to legitimate ones is around .02%. So, about .02% of ACORN registered voter forms are falsified.
Again, this does not necessarily translate into actual fraudulent votes.
And for people who side with the party that stole elections (again, look up Mike Connell and Ohio), participates in voter caging and the like — this is rich. Very rich.
TL LEE up there. Back away from the hate speech, 666 remarks, anti-Christ, etc. There are legitimate issues to debate upon, but that crap isn’t one of them.

AlexinCT:We keep getting told about how angry the right is by these morons, and yet the only angry posts, devoid of any logic or facts, are those from leftists that continue to make debunked claims about such obviously stupid things as Bush stealing the 200 elections. You should note that your own leftist MSM apparatchiks tried its best to give gore the election and had to admit that even if they cheated they could not do it. The list of other idiotic stuff goes on and on. You are entitled to your own opinions, but not your own facts or truth people. You leftists are certainly not hoping we somehow think you are making sense because you are now cheating based on that obviously debunked lie about Bush cheating? Why is there not more focus on the rampant hatred on the left, the hatred that brings out losers that now claim their cheating is justified based on a stupid and debunked lie about the other side cheating, while we get these misogynistic pieces about the anger from conservatives about real voter fraud?
And hey Raoul, I do not care what color Obama’s skin is. I only care that his politics are the same shade as that of the of the imploded USSR. I do not like the man because he is a Marxists crook hailing from the most corrupt bastion of politics in America: the chity of Chicago . What frightens me about him are his plans to steal from the productive to buy votes from people that think they are entitled what others have. People that feel the reason their lives suck so badly is always someone else’s fault, and not because of their own choices. We need to bring personal responsibility back, and Obama certainly will do none of that.

Like they did regularly for Tom Dashle on the Indian reservations. Like they did in Ohio when they kept certain voting stations open late, trying to troll for illegal votes.
I don’t know how anyone could defend being a Democrat. Oh, I know — they justify the slimy party they belong to by pointing a finger at Republicans and screaming “They do it, too!”

Night Owl:I haven’t read all the responses so forgive me if this has already been said: One of the goals of anarchists and other extremist groups is to disrupt the voting process of this country, casting doubt on the legitimacy of anyone who is elected. For example if McCain wins, all the evidence of voter fraud sets the stage for another round of “did he really win”, or was it fraud? Same for Obama.
Extremist groups would like nothing more than to set Americans against Americans. This type of action sows the seeds of doubt, and is an insidious way to raise the prospect for violence after the election.
Probably not all Acorn members are extremists or anarchists. But some must be, given this activity in their midst.
It is to the everlasting shames of our elected officials that they do not allow the creation of a system for checking for a valid ID at voting time, and for allowing time to properly vet all new voter registrations prior to election day. My take, if you register too late, you run the risk of being denied to vote. It happened to me once, and my registration was legitimate. I say toss out all the late registrations. We need an election process we can trust, or we are no better than a banana republic.

Oct 14, 2008 - 11:45 am 129. Bing McGhandi:Supports a Woman’s Right to Choose:
Barack Obama understands that abortion is a divisive issue, and respects those who disagree with him. However, he has been a consistent champion of reproductive choice and will make preserving women’s rights under Roe v. Wade a priority as President. He opposes any constitutional amendment to overturn the Supreme Court’s decision in that case. Preventing Unintended Pregnancy:
Barack Obama is an original co-sponsor of legislation to expand access to contraception, health information and preventive services to help reduce unintended pregnancies. Introduced in January 2007, the Prevention First Act will increase funding for family planning and comprehensive sex education that teaches both abstinence and safe sex methods. The Act will also end insurance discrimination against contraception, improve awareness about emergency contraception, and provide compassionate assistance to rape victims.
tese are just same of OBAMA&BIDEN PLANS WHERE MCSAMES&PALIN OTHER SOW HATERED DISCORD AMONG THE AMERICAN FOLKS BUT YOU GOT TO REAP WHAT THEY HAVE SOW IF YOU SOW BAD SEEDS YOU WILL REAP A BAD HARVEST ASK MCSAME HE IS STILL FEELING IT FROM LAST WEEK BUT MISS PALIN IS HARD HEADED SHE THINK THIS IS A GOOD THING GOD DON’T LIKE UGLY…..
Did you know that every voter registration card is numbered? Did you know that they ALL have to be turned in, even the ones that say “mickey Mouse”? Did you know that the people who are turning in these bogus registration cards are trying to get paid for work they did not do, not actually register Micky Mouse? No, of course not. ACORN flags suspect registration. But they have to turn them in. It would be worse for registering groups to NOT turn in registrations based on whether or not they thought the registrants were going to vote for their man. THEY DRAW ATTENTION TO THE SUSPECTED INSTANCES OF FRAUD BUT MUST RETURN ALL VOTER REGISTRATION FORMS, USED OR UNUSED. THAT’S THE LAW.

Also, remember that ACORN provides services to the poor all year round. This is just one additional service in keeping with their mission, seeing that poor people have the opportunity to vote, just like every other American. Can you imagine why the poor would lean Democrat when a McCain supporter, apparently with a clean conscience, says, “What frightens me about him are his plans to steal from the productive to buy votes from people that think they are entitled what others have.”

Didn’t Hillary also win the popular vote in the primary?
Thanks for the no conviction = Ayers not guilty theme. Dispite the fact that the only reason he was not convicted was prosecutorial misconduct and illegal (inadmissable) wiretaps and the fact the he admits it, he is still not guilty. By that logic a klansman that killed a black person and admitted it but was found not guilty by a bunch of racist whites also really did not do it after all. I mean he wasn’t convicted so it must not have ever happened.
I also find it humerous that people keep finding CLOSE associates of Obama have shady pasts but the best you can come up with for a defense is either Keating 5 which he was found not guilty of (which is really funny since McCain was exhonerated and Ayers was not, yet McCain is guilty but Ayers is not) or some remote thing McCain did like speak at a meeting or as above that a supporter of his also had ties to Ayers.
There is a BIG difference between a supporter of McCain also supporting Ayers, and Obama himself having close ties to Acorn and Ayers.
Obama was a member of a far left leaning socialist branch of Dems (new party I think) and nothing is said, but dear lord don’t mention Palin spoke at a meeting of a Alaskan speratist party and she is a full blown member.
Again please note, there is a difference between haveing spoken at a meeting once or twice and being a full blown member. Same with those who support you, someone who just now is supporting you who has a questionable past is not the same thing as a person who has close ties to that person with a questionable past for many years.

There have been shown to be virtually no cases of voter fraud in American elections. As much as you’d like to find them, you can’t (Oh yeah, Drudge found one. Now there’s a reliable source. Ha.) In the name of fighting “voter fraud” however, you Republicans like to engage in a practice known as voter suppression, misdirecting potential voters, phone jamming, purging legitimate people from voting rolls and the like. Very American, you guys. Back in the day, when I was a civil rights worker in Mississippi, we simply called it for what it was, discrimination. Just today GOP operative Jim Tobin was indicted for lying to the FBI in his NH phone jamming scheme. The recent Attorney general firings scandal was around the same false issue. Rove wanted the AG’s to find and prosecute ‘voter fraud’ against the dems. When the ethical AG’s refused because they could not find ANY instances of fraud, they were fired and replaced by hacks. All recent serious and legal investigations of voter fraud in this country have found only a few isolated instances, and most of those were done without malice. There are plenty of serious issues in this election which deserve public attention. Voter fraud is definitely not one of them, unless of course, that’s all you think you have.

Keating courted and bribed Democrats. They only included McCain in the subpoena so that Democrats would vote for it. McCain was cleared.

Let’s see they advocate a “living wage” (which is higher than the Federal minimum wage) and yet they were caught a few years ago paying less than minimum wage to their office workers. They also target banks (which are required under the Community Reivestment Act to donate to charities) by threatening to picket their branches unless they donate to ACORN - regardless of the bank’s non-profit support to other worthwhile organizations. Now they have been caught in what appears to be a highly organized nationwaide voter registration fraud effort.
It’s highly doubtful that Obama-Rama was involved, or even aware, of the voter fraud effort or the bank extortion operation, but the minimum wage issue made headlines nationwide. Obviously he can’t be awareof everthing that happens, but someone in his organization should have checked this out before recomending that he donate $800 grand!
Oct 14, 2008 - 12:49 pm 145. proud elitist:First off, the entire guilt-by-association is a lose-lose proposition for McCain.
Obama “tied to” Ayers. As are Ohio Republicans, including those who support McCain.
Fred @ 135 notes some not-so-stellar McCain associations, to include the horrid G. Gordon Liddy…
Oh, and the list can go on and on and on…
Gunstar1, McCain wasn’t completely “exhonerated” otherwise he would not have had to apologize for it as he did in his books. Of course, he certainly hasn’t fessed up to running interference with the DEA during their investigations into Cindy, her charities and stealing prescription drugs. I will say that Keating was a long time ago, but reveals early McCain judgment problems.
ACORN absolutely has problems in terms of its voter registrations. But it is a community-based organization (but we know how white righties fear any type of “community” organization) that does a lot of good. A few bad apples cannot ruin a tree.
Again, it is laughable that Republicans are crying foul with this voter stuff. Voter caging = huge GOP tactic. If you don’t believe me, review Ms. Goodling’s congressional testimony.
Further, Rove is connected with Mike Connell who is also connected with Rick Davis (of Fannie/Freddie lobbying fame):
Snippet 1: Michael L. Connell was served with a subpoena in Ohio on Sept. 22 in a case alleging that vote-tampering during the 2004 presidential election resulted in civil rights violations. Connell, president of GovTech Solutions and New Media Communications, is a website designer and IT professional who created a website for Ohio’s secretary of state that presented the results of the 2004 election in real time as they were tabulated.
AND
Snippet 2: More recently, Newsweek’s Michael Isikoff has revealed that John McCain’s presidential campaign paid nearly a million dollars for web services to a firm called 3eDC, created and partly owned by McCain campaign manager Rick Davis. According to an archived version of a 3eDC webpage from 2007, that firm’s five “strategic partners” included not only Connell’s New Media Communications but also Campaign Solutions – a firm run by Connell’s sometimes-partner, Rebecca Donatelli – and a component of SmarTech called AirNet.

You guys are so out of step, it would be laughable if it weren’t so tragic. Try not to get too depressed Nov. 5th!!

Oct 14, 2008 - 2:32 pm 159. Tina Trent:Some answers on how and why ACORN does what it does:
First, false registrations serve several purposes. On the smallest scale, they provide opportunities to acquire one or more registration cards to be used for illegal votes. You can have them sent to a community center, a homeless shelter, or someplace else where the cards can be picked up and used. And remember, you can also vote without your card, so long as you present yourself as somebody on the rolls and have some other (fake) form of I.D., so you can register people you know aren’t going to vote (ie. dead people) or vote for those dead people you know are registered. At this level of fraud, of course, requiring photo I.D. would make everything harder. Guess who opposes requiring picture I.D. for voter registration and voting?
You can also make up people, get them on the rolls, and then send in absentee ballots. You don’t need a body to do this, or a person to show up at the polls, so this is a major source of fraudulent voting.
You can also register people too young to vote and have them vote, along with felons and illegal aliens. The key to all of these things is to keep the laws about identification, both for registration and for casting votes, as lax as possible.
Voter registration drives also spread around money — donated by wealthy non-profits, or subsidized by taxpayers, and disseminated around to people (unsurprisingly, often welfare recipients and others with lots of time on their hands, while you have to work for a living) who will happily show up to “protest” various causes for a few bucks or bigger kickbacks, or register non-existent voters so the organization can go back to their donors (or the feds) and show that they’ve “met their goals.”
So another important purpose served is as an income stream for activism infrastructure, a way to pay the people you need for heads at a demonstration or a press conference, or to disrupt City Hall (If you’ve ever been involved in city or state politics, you’ve probably noticed that the same usual suspects show up to protest wildly disparate causes. At the Capitol where I worked, the annual “Poor People’s Day” was a good day to get your purse stolen).
Growing activism infrastructure doesn’t always translate directly into fraudulent votes cast (though it’s still fraud to file false registrations). But when you get enough money to stage large-scale efforts, then pay lots of people to get registrations, then swamp registration offices at the last possible moment with real and fake ballots, then start screaming about people being denied the right to vote, abetted by a complacent media that starts imagining itself back in “the day” — you’ve disrupted the system and laid the groundwork to whinge on endlessly about disenfranchisement, a complaint that many well-meaning Americans take at face value.
And then the loop is complete: it’s “stop the presses: voters are being disenfranchised!” time. Elected officials grandstand and get tax dollars to pay for registration drives. The money gets divvied out by elected officials to organizations like ACORN. And that money and infrastructure get used to lobby against any laws that would “make it harder to vote” by requiring things like registration in person, photo I.D., and other things required in all other industrialized countries (you know, the ones that are gleefully pointing at us right now and j’accusing us of preventing poor minorities from getting to the polls).
How does an Obama rise out of this? Easy. First you become the guy who gives out the grants (check). Then you make sure the block captains who support your election to lower-office are the ones who get in on the next grant gravy-train (check). Then you get into office and get more grants to give out to your guys on the ground (check), who re-elect you, sending your further and further up the electoral ladder. Check. Check. Check. (I am not suggesting that Republicans don’t have their own closed loops of corruption, but they don’t do this, and they don’t accuse the rest of us of being racists who suppress votes).
The one thing that must NEVER happen is “solving the problem” of poverty, or “disenfranchisement, or any other social ill, because then the gravy train dries up. The argument that “ACORN helps poor people all year long” is risible, unless by “help” you mean getting the most corruptible people from public housing onto public boards in order to open up new avenues of kickbacks and expand political power.
So it is all done at the price of keeping the poor actually poor. And that’s the cherry on top.

So the Acorn rep conspires with the voter, so the voter gets to vote additional times. Right? We know acorn is involved, but in order to make this voter fraud, the voter does as well. So in order to cast one fraudulent vote, two people have to be involved and the voter has to visit two polling locations. Or… is it the $7.50 hourly acorn employee is registering multiple names so he can drive around to different polling locations to swing the election by his 10 extra votes. Yes, this makes perfect sense.
The reality is that for the acorn voter-registration issue to actually have any sort of impact on the election requires thousands of co-conspirators.
Which is more likely? A massive conspiracy involving thousands of people all acting together, or a few GOP’s purging the voter rolls at the election office?

3. Whenever possible go outside the experience of the enemy.
4. Make the enemy live up to their own book of rules.
5. Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.
6. A good tactic is one that your people enjoy.
7. A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.
8. Keep the pressure on.
9. The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.
10. Maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition.
11. If you push a negative hard and deep enough it will break through into its counterside.
12. The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative.
13. Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.
I haven’t read all the comments so I don’t know if anyone’s already mentioned it but, remember “Cloward-Piven” strategy of causing the system to collapse by turning its mechanism against itself! Investigating, inevitably, ALL of the ACORN registrations will throw the system into convulsions! The system, by the way, was not designed to combating organized crime on a unbelievable scale. And that appears to be the point of the whole thing, Cloward-Piven-wise.

Filling out a voter registration form is not illegal. It is up to the Registrar of Voters to check and to verify the registration. If the registration form is found valid then the information is added to the list of registered voters. If a person is put on the voter list fraudulently than it’s done so by the Registrar, not by the person who collects the forms. The only time voter fraud comes into play is at the poll, till then it’s just filling out an erroneous voter form.

I’ve been asking myself the same question and have stumbled upon the answer. The idea is to so overwhelm the registrars that there will be a glut of “provisional” ballots. Since most polling sites will only have a limited number of provisional ballots available, the next step is to start bussing as many provisional voters to selected sites in order to run them out of provisional ballots. Then they will have no choice other than to let the overflow vote on the touchscreens with no paper trail. Then the busses go to the next targeted polling site that has already been depleted of provisional ballots and the same people vote again. Again on untracable touch screens.

The Dem Poll Worker refused, and when he insisted, she then quickly marked it again. The Repub worker grabbed it from her hand, and she jumped on his back. Others came to pull her off him.
The ballot showed both BO and McCain were marked on the ballot. A new ballot was properly filled out with the vote going to McCain.

Oct 14, 2008 - 7:17 pm 189. bej:I’ll explain it to you: This story is a complete sham. An investigation of 4 million Ohio votes showed that there were 4 individual cases of voter fraud.
ACORN flags the flawed registration forms (but is required by law to turn them in.) Acorn has tight quality control, and cans any employees that violate the rules. Acorn itself notifies the Justice Department when there are fraudulent registration forms.
Even voter registration forms that are not valid DOES NOT EQUATE to voter fraud. Voter registration fraud DIFFERENT than voter fraud.
The right tried making this an issue in past elections, setting Republican appointed U.S. attornies to investigate the offices of ACORN. The result has always been the same. No fraud is found, and those attornies are let go (fired) for not prosecuting any wrongdoing. Because the organization is legit and law-abiding.
This organization should be applauded for registering over a million new voters.

Oct 14, 2008 - 7:19 pm 191. Marc Malone:What everyone seems to be missing, is that all these false registrations swell the apparent ranks of the Dem Party. Of course, that too-clever-by-half Rush Limbaugh did teh same thing by telling Pubs to register as Dems. Here’s the real payoff.
ZPolls are weighted based on registration. The more Dems, the more the polls take that into account, and adjust the numbers. Four things then happen:
1) Pub voters get discouraged. They give up on the Prez race, and often don’t go vote as a result as it’s seen as pointless. Worst case, their candidate loses, because they failed to cast the vote that would’ve won it for their guy;
2) The down-ballot races also suffer from lack of turnout (Governors, Senators, Congressmen, Legislators, dog-catchers, whatever.);
3) The get out the vote effort slows, and they start to lose the ground game;
4) Donations, the all-important moey flow, dries up. After all, why just throw away your money? Your guy’s losing, and the other guy will just steal the elections anyway.
Voter apathy is the real goal. Break the other guy’s supporters’ morale. The number registered has that effect. Even now, Gallup has had to offer two methods of weighting of their polls, because the old model may not be reliable with these radical new numbers. They have no good baseline anymore, because the nature of the election has, at least superficially, grossly changed.

Ayers’ then-girl friend, the one before Bernadette, had the good fortune (for intended victims) to blow herself up in the bomb-making factory where she was.
As to ACORN: Why should the Democrats investigate an organization that is geared to having them win the upcoming election?
A point of information: I have an 88-year-old aunt with dementia in a nursing home. Seems “someone” attempted to get to residents at that nursing home to register them to vote. To the administration’s credit, they did not allow the registration to take place unless residents could show proof that they actually wanted to vote! There are residents at that home who are perfectly aware of what they were going to do while others, like my aunt, haven’t a clue. To me, that was another attempt at fraud.
A follow-up to my earlier post: The only reason that Ayers did not face jail time for his actions was that the FBI had gotten the goods against him by “illegal means”. Shows what a good lawyer can do. So technically Ayers may not have been proved “guilty” in a court of law, but can one argue that he was all that “innocent”?

His tax plan alone is a good reason for anyone without a job to jump on the wagon, as they will receive a check for just being lazy. No more welfare lines, just have the lazy go to their mailbox for their free ride.
Obama agreed to sit down with McCain & work out a plan to ensure public financing for both campaigns, only to do a 180 and opt out when he found out he could buy more votes with private financing. This shows how Obama can be expected to stand by his word, he won’t!
Electing a black radical with a radical wife joining in as first lady, is surely not in the best interest of the US. What exactly is a “community organizer, and where does one apply for this job?

Until Obama comes up with a plan to show others how he is going to change anything, which so far he has not, it is naive & reckless to vote for him as the consequences of finding out that he is full of false hopes will be devastating to this country.

Everything he touches is corrupt and illegal. The man can’t be trusted to do anything by the book. I for one do not want such a lying, schemeing, cheating individual in the most honored highest office in the world. When did we stop respecting the office of the presidency of these United States of America? I think each passing day, more and more people who were initially brainwashed and mesmerized by the flowing rhetoric are coming to their senses. His promises of a new life are just empty promises. He fully intends to take from the “haves” and give it all to the “won’t works”. ACORN is just one more example of his cheating in order to steal the presidency. He also wants to change our flag, and our nationa anthem, to appease the muslims in the world, so tht they will like us better. GIVE ME A BREAK!

I agree it does need to be harder to do. And you do need to show ID, and probably have the indelible ink mark also. People with no ID’s are not the people you want voting. They have no IDs for a reason. Probably, because they are wanted somewhere.

We need to take a long hard look at our officials and government, and insure that our officials are really doing the job they were elected to do.
Our President has to stand for our nation, and history shows that we are a strong nation. We have to have a strong national defense, PLUS he has to be willing to stand for all of our beliefs,”one nation under God!”

I note that in Washington state, in the last election, the Governor’s race was won by the Republican, but, before the election was closed, somehow, the poll workers “found” a box of uncounted ballots which reversed the result. How convenient.
Now, it seems to me that the thousands of registrations which Democrats say don’t matter because fictitious people won’t vote is silly because the poll workers can vote for them — but only if they are needed to steal the election.
I doubt very much if the volunteers are vetted properly, and they can easily lie about their political affiliations.

Oct 15, 2008 - 5:03 pm 246. sonya:Many are asking how we got into this financial mess. The truth, for the most part, is not being discussed on the media. The following will help you understand our national financial situation a little better.
This is a condensation of a series from the Investor’s Business Daily explaining “What Caused the Loan Crisis”:
1977: Pres. Jimmy Carter signs the Community Reinvestment Act into Law. The law pressured financial institutions to extend home loans to those who would otherwise not qualify. The Premise: Home ownership would improve poor and crime-ridden communities and neighborhoods in terms of crime, investment, jobs, etc.
Results: Statistics bear out that it did not help.
How did the government get so deeply involved in the housing market? Answer: Bill Clinton wanted it that way.
1992: Republican representative Jim Leach (IO) warned of the danger that Fannie and Freddie were changing from being agencies of the public at large to money machines for the principals and the stockholding few.
1993: Clinton extensively rewrote Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac’s rules turning the quasi-private mortgage-funding firms into semi-nationalized monopoies dispensing cash and loans to large Democratic voting blocks and handing favors, jobs and contributions to political allies. This potent mix led inevitably to corruption and now the collapse of Freddie and Fannie.
1994: Despite warnings, Clinton unveiled his National Home-Ownership Strategy which broadened the CRA in ways congress never intended.
1995: Congress, about to change from a Democrat majority to Republican, Clinton orders Robert Rubin’s Treasury Dept to rewrite the rules. Robt. Rubin’s Treasury reworked rules, forcing banks to satisfy quotas for sub-prime and minority loans to get a satisfactory CRA rating. The rating was key to expansion or mergers for banks. Loans began to be made on the basis of race and little else.
1997 - 1999: Clinton, bypassing Republicans, enlisted Andrew Cuomo, then Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, allowing Freddie and Fannie to get into the sub-prime market in a BIG way. Led by Rep. Barney Frank and Sen. Chris Dodd, congress doubled down on the risk by easing capital limits and allowing them to hold just 2.5% of capital to back their investments vs. 10% for banks. Since they could borrow at lower rates than banks their enterprises boomed.
With incentives in place, banks poured billions in loans into poor communities, often “no doc”, “no income”, requiring no money down and no verification of income. Worse still was the cronyism: Fannie and Freddie became home to out-of work-politicians, mostly Clinton Democrats. 384 politicians got big campaign donations from Fannie and Freddie. Over $200 million had been spent on lobbying and political activities. During the 1990’s Fannie and Freddie enjoyed a subsidy of as much as $182 Billion, most of it going to principals and shareholders, not poor borrowers as claimed.
Did it work? Minorities made up 49% of the 12.5 million new homeowners but many of those loans have gone bad and the minority homeownership rates are shrinking fast.
1999: New Treasury Secretary, Lawrence Summers, became alarmed at Fannie and Freddie’s excesses. Congress held hearings the ensuing year but nothing was done because Fannie and Freddie had donated millions to key congressmen and radical groups, ensuring no meaningful changes would take place. “We manage our political risk with the same intensity that we manage our credit and interest rate risks,” Fannie CEO Franklin Raines, a former Clinton official and current Barack Obama advisor, bragged to investors in 1999.
2000: Secretary Summers sent Undersecretary Gary Gensler to Congress seeking an end to the “special status”. Democrats raised a ruckus as did Fannie and Freddie, headed by politically connected CEO’s who knew how to reward and punish. “We think that the statements evidence a contempt for the nation’s housing and mortgage markets” Freddie spokesperson Sharon McHale said. It was the last chance during the Clinton era for reform.
2001: Republicans try repeatedly to bring fiscal sanity to Fannie and Freddie but Democrats blocked any attempt at reform; especially Rep. Barney Frank and Sen. Chris Dodd who now run key banking committees and were huge beneficiaries of campaign contributions from the mortgage giants.
2003: Bush proposes what the NY Times called “the most significant regulatory overhaul in the housing finance industry since the savings and loan crisis a decade ago”. Even after discovering a scheme by Fannie and Freddie to overstate earnings by $10.6 billion to boost their bonuses, the Democrats killed reform.
2005: Then Fed chairman Alan Greenspan warns Congress: “We are placing the total financial system at substantial risk”. Sen. McCain, with two others, sponsored a Fannie/Freddie reform bill and said, “If congress does not act, American taxpayers will continue to be exposed to the enormous risk that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac pose to the housing market, the overall financial system and the economy as a whole”. Sen. Harry Reid accused the GOP ;of trying to “cripple the ability of Fannie and Freddie to carry out their mission of expanding homeownership” The bill went nowhere.
2007: By now Fannie and Freddie own or guarantee over HALF of the $12 trillion US mortgage market. The mortgage giants, whose executive suites were top-heavy with former Democratic officials, had been working with Wall St. to repackage the bad loans and sell them to investors. As the housing market fell in ‘07, sub prime mortgage portfolios suffered major losses. The crisis was on, though it was 15 years in the making.
2008: McCain has repeatedly called for reforming the behemoths, Bush urged reform 17 times. Still the media have repeated Democrats’ talking points about this being a “Republican” disaster. A few Republicans are complicit but Fannie and Freddie were created by Democrats, regulated by Democrats, largely run by Democrats and protected by Democrats. That’s why taxpayers are now being asked for $700 billion!!

Brunner has been concealing 200,000 unmatched/mismatched registrations in OHIO.
Read on for UPDATE: there seems to be a website teaching how out-of-state voters can vote there.
Debate started –
Oct 15, 2008 - 6:01 pm 250. pst314:“Acorn is reaction to election officials making it HARD to register.”
With all due respect, that’s utterly false. It’s easy to register. It was easy ten years ago and it was easy fifty years ago. The “problem” that ACORN and the Democratic Party are trying to solve is the existence of laws that interfere with their tradition of committing massive vote fraud and their desire to commit even greater fraud.
Oct 15, 2008 - 6:05 pm 251. Joseph Marshall:It’s always nice to have some numbers, so thank you for the ACORN map. The total ACORN activity in all of these states together is 1,315,037.
Since you’re all afraid of the worst, let’s assume EVERY registration turned in by ACORN is fraudulent and will result in a fraudulent vote counted for Obama.
What this would mean is that close to the entire 7 county metropolitan area of Columbus, Ohio has been recruited in over eighteen states to cast fake votes.
This conspiracy is so well hidden that none of those 1 & 1/3 million people has gone to the local newspapers or the local police to spill the beans. Just imagine that many Americans keeping their mouth shut about anything, particularly under interrogation by law enforcement…
Now voting fraud is a crime, a fifth degree felony in Ohio, so we can assume that these people would have to be bribed. Probably for $50 a vote for 1.3 million people. After all, you are buying their permanent silence as well as their votes, so it can’t be much less. So ACORN will be shelling out $65 million for all these votes.
Where do they get that kind of money? Good question. Certainly not from the Obama campaign. Obama’s record fundraising for the month of August was only $55 million, and he obviously has some major expenses to deal with already trying to get non-fraudulent votes;
besides the embarrassment of explaining a “buying votes” line item to the Federal Campaign Finance auditors
If 135,000,000 people cast ballots in 2008, the reasonable figure based on voting population trends of +4% every four years, our fraudulent voters will be only 1% of this total. Since Obama must pull at least 67.5+ million voters to just barely win the popular vote, country wide voting fraud through ACORN wouldn’t be very cost effective. And if he wins by 70 million, which I expect him to, ACORN will have spent the entire amount and run the horrible risks for nothing.
I don’t suggest in the least that anyone stop raising hell about ACORN if they honestly think that what has happened was due to criminal intent, but we should keep a realistic outlook on how much impact voting fraud can have when vote count numbers are as high as possible countrywide.
But maybe they don’t have to do it nationally. Maybe ACORN just has to buy votes in swing state Ohio to win the EV. So assuming the worst, ACORN has bought 247,000 fraudulent votes for $12.4 million. Vote totals for Ohio will probably be about 4.8 million. So Acorn will have bought 2% of Ohio’s voters at a cost to Obama of $4.5 million. Maybe he could fool the auditors by line iteming $4.5 million as “miscellaneous expenses”, though I doubt it.
But, even so, if Obama wins by more than 2% in Ohio–and I think he will–you would need far more than the ACORN total to actually steal the election.
McCain just had his last chance to turn this election around. He failed. After all the early reaction polls and focus groups were unanimous in giving the debate to Obama by margins higher than 50%, I am certain this is going to be an electoral blowout for Obama with one of the following three totals:
353/185–364/174–369/169.
And a 60/40 popular vote split is not impossible if the Dow keeps dropping.
We have witnessed in 2000 an election where voting fraud in Florida might have made a difference in the final outcome. And we have witnessed in 2004 an election where it is just barely possible that voting fraud in Ohio might have turned it. I don’t personally believe the outcome of either election stemmed from voting fraud, but we can use it to define the type of election that is at risk.
A simple principle for this would be where a very close race in one state would put the candidate barely over the EV magic number.
Perhaps the best example is the 1960 election, still the closest in history. There has always been the strong possibility that voting fraud in Chicago assured the Kennedy victory. But no election today, ACORN or no, displays any of the electoral distortions on the scale that city machine politics and Jim Crow between them imposed on this country in the past. Jim Crow is dead and city machines, like labor unions, are a feeble wraith of their once formidable power.
Nobody can do it like that anymore, not even ACORN.

I guess it was ok for the republcans to commit massive voter fraud and steal the last election. Suddenly they have this overwhelming civic minded desire to make sure everything is done by the law and fair. Gimme a break! This kind of thing happens in every election. It’s wrong and should not be tolerated but don’t all of a sudden try to pretend you walk on some moral high ground when Bush was elected because of multiple kinds of voting “irregularities”.

Chicago, IL (LifeNews.com) — The Chicago-area nurse who exposed the practice of life-birth abortions that led to he bill Barack Obama repeatedly opposed in the Illinois legislature says Obama lied about his record during the final presidential debate. Jill Stanek says Obama again misrepresented his position and record before the American people.
As LifeNews.com reported, John McCain took Obama to task during the debate when the topic turned to abortion.
“Sen. Obama, as a member of the Illinois State Senate, voted in the Judiciary Committee against a law that would provide immediate medical attention to a child born of a failed abortion. He voted against that,” McCain said.
Obama responded to the charge by repeating his claim that he voted against the bill because it would have undermined Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court case that allowed virtually unlimited abortions throughout pregnancy.
However, as Stanek explains, Obama voted for an amendment to the bill to mitigate those concerns and subsequently voted against the legislation anyway.
Stanek said the bill, the Born Alive Infants Protection Act, “simply stated all born alive babies became legally protected persons immediately upon birth, no matter what gestational age and no matter if unwanted abortion survivors.”
“Obama voted against this straightforward human rights legislation four times stating as the sole state senator speaking against it on the Senate floor in 2001 it would be ‘unconstitutional’ to declare very premature abortion survivors persons,” Stanek explained.
Obama also defended his votes against the anti-infanticide bill by claiming “there was already a law on the books in Illinois that required providing lifesaving treatment.”
Stanek also called that a “lie” saying “Illinois abortion law to this day only protects abortion survivors their abortionist deems fit to live.
“The potential for subjective assessments in these cases is clear to all but Obama. In fact, Obama opposed closing this loophole by voting against legislation to mandate a second doctor be present at deliveries of all live abortion survivors to independently assess their viability,” she said.
Obama not only voted against the bill to protect newborns who survive failed abortions but the Chicago-area nurse says he took a leadership role to defeat it.
Stanek points to Obama’s own campaign web site which indicates he approached the Illinois Planned Parenthood affiliate to develop a strategy to defeat that measure and the ban on partial-birth abortions.
Despite Obama’s claims, Stanek says Obama ultimately voted in 2003 against a version of the bill identical to a Congressional anti-infanticide bill the Senate approved on a 98-0 margin and on which the pro-abortion group NARAL took no position.
“He then purported several times, as recently as August 16, 2008, that the bills were not identical and he would have supported the Illinois version had it been the same as the federal version,” she said.
Obama’s campaign finally had to recant from that position after documents from the Illinois legislature proved him wrong.
“I’m beyond disgusted that Obama continues to repeat the same lies without the mainstream media investigating and denouncing him. We’ll see what tomorrow brings,” Stanek concluded.
Oct 16, 2008 - 9:46 am 259. Jeff:The problem is that Obama denied his association with ACORN, just like he has lied about the extent of his involvement with Ayers and the fact that he actually heard his pastor utter racist messages from the pulpit over the past 20 years. Why is he not called out about these lies and made to face the truth? He’s just another sad example of the social extremists who are part of the liberal illuminati.
Oct 16, 2008 - 12:04 pm 260. Someone75:Here’s what’s happening. The GOP doesn’t want low income people voting. Low incomers typically vote democratic. If you can take away the poor man’s right to vote, you can help your cause. Which side is scarier? One side is helping people vote, the other side is trying to disenfranchise the poor.

3. ACORN checked them, and found that some were fake. THEY reported this!
4. This is how every voter registration group operates. It is procedure. There are always some fakes. They are weeded out before election day. That is the job of the group, and this is what ACORN did.
5. John McCain has a more recent link to the group, from 2006.
ANd you want to talk about who people pall around with? How about the AIP and Todd Palin? How about McCain’s transition (HA HA!) head — William Timmons — and Saddam Hussein? How about that crazy witch doctor that “saved” Sarah Palin? How about McCain’s anti-Semitic preacher?
How about the Keating 5?

So ACORN had a few radical workers being paid minimal wage out collecting voter registrations and this ‘handful’ of workers used corrupt and criminal means to do so; SO WHAT!!! How does this come anywhere close to those key, high-level individuals already running our state/federal governments as our ‘public servants’who concoct the means by which hundreds, maybe thousands of legitimate voters are scrubbed from the voting register in Florida. Kathrine Harris did more toward corrupting our election process for just ONE YEAR than all of the fraudulent voter registrations allegedly turned in by ACORN personel,ever; and she was rewarded by GW with a position in his administration. NICE WORK, KATHY!!!

Those ‘pundits’ who are even bring up this about ACORN are simply just ‘grabbing at straws’, they have no real negative information about Obama’s capaign, or the Democrats or the liberal left, so they pull this out of their ‘magic bag of tricks’; something that on the surface looks and sounds bad, but looking under the surface shows that it goes nowhere. Of what benefit are ten, twenty, a hundred, or even a thousand duplicate voter registrations; with no body behind each one to go into the voting booth on November 4th, they mean NOTHING!!!! I think we need to ignore all the mud slinging, finger-pointing and accusing tit for tat and study each candidate’s position, record and history, than vote accordingly on November 4th.

This form of government is not designed to work with an ignorant and immoral people. It is based on the supposition that there is a creator and that our rights are derived from Him. How could we not expect people who do not believe in creator God and who have no bases for determining right and wrong other than themselves posibbly participate in keeping us free? These people (Obama included) are doing what comes natural to the morally bankrupted. When there are insufficient deterants for crimes like voter fraud, there is no law against it. Is capital punishment appropiate for destroying a country?

ACORN actually has several measures in effect to screen the validity of registrations. When registrations are thought to be suspicious, they are flagged as such before being submitted. It’s interesting that in your “most detailed” and “informed” article you neglected that little nibble of information.
It is actually against the law for them to not include registrations, even the ones that are obviously bogus.
You also neglected to mention that there is a difference between voter fraud and registration fraud. None of these bogus registrations have resulted, or will result in a fraudulent vote. Since I doubt there are many people with identification that proves they are Micky Mouse, I think it’s safe to say that Micky Mouse won’t be voting in this election.
It would really give your story a bit more credibility if you presented the entire picture, only then can you call it news. Otherwise it’s just propaganda and rhetoric.

Nash had registered to vote repeatedly from an address that belonged to a legitimately registered voter, officials said during a hearing at which the subpoenaed voters were to testify.
Board officials had contacted Nash this summer, questioned his address and told him to stop repeat registering.
But still, he breezed into Ohio election offices - the state allows early voting for president - reregistered with a fake address and cast a paper ballot, officials said.
“He came in on 9/30 and Mr. Nash again registered to vote at [someone else's] address, and he cast a ballot,” said board official Jane Platten.
Nash did not turn up for the hearing.
*****************************************
LOOK UP LAKE COUNTY>CROWN POINT | New voter registrations closed Monday in Lake County with possible record-breaking numbers and simmering allegations of fraud and racial discrimination.
Elections board Director Sally LaSota said more than 12,000 voter registration forms are waiting to be processed from recent days before the county knows how many potential voters are ready to cast ballots in the Nov. 4 general election.
“It may be a record,” she said.
Porter County has processed at least 3,500 voter applications since the spring primary in May, officials there said.
However, the large influx has brought new controversies.
LaSota said Monday representatives of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or ACORN, a grassroots activist group conducting registration drives, dropped off 2,000 new voter applications last week in Lake County.
“About 1,100 are no good,” she said.

Oct 17, 2008 - 7:08 pm 283. Catherine:An important bit of information that this opinion piece leaves out is that most of the fraudulent registrations were marked as problematic by Acorn officials when they were turned in for processing. Organizations that register voters are required by law to turn in every voter registration card that they receive–no matter what. The fraudulent registration cards are generated by contract workers employed by Acorn who fill out fraudulent cards in order to get paid for registering people, and by registrants who don’t take it seriously.
Acorn can’t control the actions of each and every temporary contract worker, but the organization can try to assist election officials in weeding out fraudulent registrations. And Acorn is doing just that–by flagging questionable registrations for election officials.
Even if you don’t know these important details, most people should be able to figure out that most of the crazy registrations we’ve been hearing about couldn’t possibly result in fraudulent votes being cast. If someone were trying to vote multiple times, they’d probably stick to common names and not names of celebrities and pop culture figures.
Trying to vote as Mickey Mouse, especialy without an ID saying you’re Micky Mouse, is kinda like trying to get past security guards to rob a bank, while wearing a sign that says “I’m here to rob the bank.”

The party could best be described as social democratic in orientation, although party statements almost invariably used the terms “small-d democratic” or “progressive” instead. Its founders chose the name “New Party” in an effort to strike a fresh tone, free of associations with dogmas and ideological debates.
After a false start in New York, the New Party built modestly successful chapters in several states. Some of these chapters — such as those in Chicago and Little Rock — had their main bases of support in the low-income community organizing group ACORN, along with some support from various labor unions (especially ACORN-allied locals of the Service Employees International Union). Other chapters — such as those in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Missoula, Montana, Montgomery County, Maryland, and Dane County, Wisconsin, received institutional support from a variety of other labor unions and community organizations. These chapters built local political organizations that ran or endorsed candidates, primarily in local non-partisan races but with occasional forays into Democratic Party primaries or (more rarely) traditional third party-style independent candidacies as well. The party’s chapters endorsed hundreds of political candidates. [1][2] Some New Party chapters introduced the idea of a contract for candidates to sign, to encourage accountability to the promises they had made the party in exchange for an endorsement, an idea that met with some resistance.[3][4][5] Party chapters were also active between elections, pressuring elected officials to pass legislation on issues such as living wages and affordable housing.

Barack Obama was an active participant in the 1990s, and a direct political beneficiary, of the Chicago New Party and, importantly, the Chicago DSA, a group of socialists affiliated with the Democratic Socialists of America.
Barack Obama attended and participated in meetings of the Chicago New Party and the Chicago DSA, the local affiliate of the Democratic Socialists of America.
Barack Obama sought the endorsement of the Chicago DSA which required rigorous scrutiny by the party’s Political Committee as well as Mr. Obama’s signature on a contract promising “a visible and active relationship with the NP.”
Barack Obama actively used the endorsement from the Chicago DSA.
Barack Obama won his DSA-endorsed and -backed campaign to secure his seat in the Illinois State Senate.
Barack Obama continued his involvement with the Chicago DSA — including directly asking the group to join “his task forces on Voter Education and Voter Registration” — and received their endorsements in subsequent campaigns.

did you know that obama`s wife worked with bill ayers wife before they were even married?
obama`s wife worked with Bernardine Rae Dohrn at a law office in chicago even before she met barrack.
funny thing that these nonexostent relationships keep getting deeper and deeper.
obama`s wife also wrote her thesis on racial divides and socialism.
The thesis, titled “Princeton-Educated Blacks and the Black Community” and written under her maiden name, Michelle LaVaughn Robinson, in 1985, has been the subject of much conjecture on the blogosphere and elsewhere in recent weeks, as it has been “temporarily withdrawn” from Princeton’s library until after this year’s presidential election in November. Some of the material has been written about previously, however, including a story last year in the Newark Star Ledger.
Obama writes that the path she chose by attending Princeton would likely lead to her “further integration and/or assimilation into a white cultural and social structure that will only allow me to remain on the periphery of society; never becoming a full participant.”
“In defining the concept of identification or the ability to identify with the black community,” the Princeton student wrote, “I based my definition on the premise that there is a distinctive black culture very different from white culture.” Other thesis statements specifically pointed to what was seen by the future Mrs. Obama as racially insensitive practices in a university system populated with mostly Caucasian educators and students: “Predominately white universities like Princeton are socially and academically designed to cater to the needs of the white students comprising the bulk of their enrollments.”

One way to avoid having to evaluate and respond to facts is to change the subject. My note about “Mickey Mouse” voters was just a comment to my main point–that Acorn HAS to turn in all voter registrations and has been flagging the ones that seem fraudulent for election officials.
If you want to bring up an allegation against another organization-the NAACP-then do that after you’ve responded to the facts I presented about Acorn. I’m skeptical about the accusation you presented about the NAACP, but it’s a separate organization and a separate matter. Lumping all organizations and individuals you don’t agree with together in some big category and refusing to differentiate among them, is a little like saying that all Republicans are just like Bush.

Catherine>I would hardly lump comparing BUSH to others for political gain with the efforts by so many on the left to destory our system. Perhaps a history lesson would help you>
In 1982, partisans of the Cloward-Piven strategy founded a new “voting rights movement,” which purported to take up the unfinished work of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Like ACORN, the organization that spear-headed this campaign, the new “voting rights” movement was led by veterans of George Wiley’s welfare rights crusade. Its flagship organizations were Project Vote and Human SERVE, both founded in 1982. Project Vote is an ACORN front group, launched by former NWRO organizer and ACORN co-founder Zach Polett. Human SERVE was founded by Richard A. Cloward and Frances Fox Piven, along with a former NWRO organizer named Hulbert James.
All three of these organizations — ACORN, Project Vote and Human SERVE — set to work lobbying energetically for the so-called Motor-Voter law, which Bill Clinton ultimately signed in 1993. The Motor-Voter bill is largely responsible for swamping the voter rolls with “dead wood” — invalid registrations signed in the name of deceased, ineligible or non-existent people — thus opening the door to the unprecedented levels of voter fraud and “voter disenfranchisement” claims that followed in subsequent elections.
The new “voting rights” coalition combines mass voter registration drives — typically featuring high levels of fraud — with systematic intimidation of election officials in the form of frivolous lawsuits, unfounded charges of “racism” and “disenfranchisement,” and “direct action” (street protests, violent or otherwise). Just as they swamped America’s welfare offices in the 1960s, Cloward-Piven devotees now seek to overwhelm the nation’s understaffed and poorly policed electoral system. Their tactics set the stage for the Florida recount crisis of 2000, and have introduced a level of fear, tension and foreboding to U.S. elections heretofore encountered mainly in Third World countries.
Both the Living Wage and Voting Rights movements depend heavily on financial support from George Soros’s Open Society Institute and his “Shadow Party,” through whose support the Cloward-Piven strategy continues to provide a blueprint for some of the Left’s most ambitious campaigns.

JERUSALEM – Sen. Barack Obama is a Muslim of Kenyan origins who studied in Islamic schools and whose campaign may have been financed by people in the Islamic and African worlds, Libyan leader Muammar Gadhafi said during a recent televised national rally.
“There are elections in America now. Along came a black citizen of Kenyan African origins, a Muslim, who had studied in an Islamic school in Indonesia. His name is Obama,” said Gadhafi in little-noticed remarks he made at a rally marking the anniversary of the 1986 U.S. air raid on his country. The remarks, translated by the Middle East Media Research Institute, MEMRI, were aired on Al Jazeera in June.
“All the people in the Arab and Islamic world and in Africa applauded this man,” continued Gadhafi. “They welcomed him and prayed for him and for his success, and they may have even been involved in legitimate contribution campaigns to enable him to win the American presidency. “We are hoping that this black man will take pride in his African and Islamic identity, and in his faith, and that [he will know] that he has rights in America, and that he will change America from evil to good…

The real question isn’t what would or wouldn’t help me–it’s what will help our country.
I’m going to assume that you want what’s best for our country, meaning not just for the people in the government and rich people, but for all of our country. And I’d appreciate it if you would assume the same of me.
If you truly believe that the accusations that Acorn is trying to undermine democracy through voter fraud, and that this is just the latest instance in a long history of coordinated voter fraud, I assume that you want others to pay attention and believe you.
If you want to convince anyone at all who doesn’t already agree with you, then you need to start small and build up. Convince me that Acorn is indeed guilty of voter fraud with the intent to steal the upcoming presidential election, and then work your way backwards. And if you’re going to convince anyone that Acorn is guilty of voter fraud (which means actually casting fraudulent votes–so the accusation that Acorn intentionally submitted fake registrations wouldn’t constitute voter fraud even if it were true), start by responding to what I stated about Acorn being required by law to turn in all voter registration cards it receives, and actually alerting election officials to questionable cards.

Oct 19, 2008 - 7:56 am 302. Hassan:DENVER (AP) - Denver Roman Catholic Archbishop Charles Chaput labeled Barack Obama the “most committed” abortion-rights candidate from a major party in 35 years while accusing a Catholic Obama ally and other Democratic-friendly Catholic groups of doing a “disservice to the church.”
Chaput, one of the nation’s most politically outspoken Catholic prelates, delivered the remarks Friday night at a dinner of a Catholic women’s group.
His comments were among the sharpest in a debate over abortion and Catholic political responsibility in a campaign in which Catholics represent a key swing vote.
While Chaput has won praise from traditionalist Catholics for stressing opposition to abortion as a foundational voting issue, voices on the Catholic left have sought to apply church teachings to war, poverty, the environment and other issues.
Although the Catholic left is not new, several advocacy groups have either formed or ramped up activities since 2004. Partly, their efforts are a response to attention given to the pro-abortion rights stance of Democrat John Kerry, a Catholic who was criticized by a few bishops who suggested he should be denied or refrain from Communion.
Chaput, without getting into much detail, called Obama the “most committed” abortion-rights major-party presidential candidate since the landmark Roe v. Wade decision on abortion in 1973.
“To suggest - as some Catholics do - that Senator Obama is this year’s ‘real’ pro-life candidate requires a peculiar kind of self-hypnosis, or moral confusion, or worse,” Chaput said according to his prepared remarks, titled “Little Murders.”
Oct 19, 2008 - 8:10 am 303. Maggie:Curious about ACORN, I went to their webpage and clicked on the donation information. It appears that numerous businesses give matching funds for ACORN donations. Is this for real?
Oct 19, 2008 - 8:10 am 304. a bit more on where acorn fits into scheme of things:America Votes is a national coalition of grassroots, get-out-the-vote organizations. Its website claims that the coalition represents “more than 20 million Americans in every state in the country” through its member groups. America Votes is itself a member of the “Shadow Party,” identified by DiscoverTheNetworks as a nationwide network of activist groups whose agendas are ideologically Left, and which are engaged in campaigning for the Democrats.
Member organizations of the America Votes coalition include, among others, the American Association for Justice; the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN); Campaign for America’s Future; Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund; Democracy for America; EMILY’s List; the League of Conservation Voters; the League of United Latin American Citizens; MoveOn.org Political Action; the NAACP National Voter Fund; NARAL Pro-Choice America; the Planned Parenthood Action Fund; Progressive Majority; the Service Employees International Union; the Sierra Club; and USAction.
Former members of America Votes included America Coming Together, People for the American Way, and the Media Fund.
On its website, America Votes identifies such seemingly non-partisan goals as increasing “voter registration and . . . participation in electoral politics.” However, its get-out-the-vote campaigns are targeted only toward likely Democratic voters — such as swing voters (working women and young people) and Democrat base voters (especially blacks and Hispanics).
The organization was launched on July 15, 2003. According to Texas Monthly (August 2003), Shadow Party leaders Harold Ickes Steve Rosenthal, Ellen Malcolm, Andrew Stern, and Jim Jordan decided jointly to start America Votes and appointed Cecile Richards its first President. Richards also served on the Board of America Coming Together (ACT).
Richards is the daughter of former Texas governor Anne Richards, whose political career was ended when George W. Bush defeated her in 1994. She harbors a deep antipathy toward the so-called “Christian Right,” which she held partly responsible for her mother’s defeat, and in 1994 founded the Texas Freedom Network, a grassroots organization aimed at countering the political influence of conservative Christians, especially on school boards. Richards subsequently moved to Washington, DC, where she served as Organizing Director of the AFL-CIO, then as a pro-abortion activist for the Turner Foundation and Planned Parenthood, and finally as Deputy Chief of Staff for Democrat minority whip Nancy Pelosi, soon to become minority leader. Richards held that post for eighteen months before joining America Votes. (She held the presidency of America Votes from July 2003 to January 2006, when she was named President of Planned Parenthood.)
George Soros’ son, Jonathan T. Soros, has donated $250,000 to America Votes. Many of the organization’s top donors, such as Rob McKay, Robert Glaser, and Andrew Rappaport, are associates of Soros. Other major donors to America Votes include The Media Fund; Human Rights Campaign; Planned Parenthood Action Fund; Music for America; SEIU; League of Conservation Voters; MoveOn.org Voter Fund; NARAL Pro-Choice America; AFL-CIO; Moving America Forward; American Federation of Teachers; Sierra Club; America Coming Together; and EMILY’s List.

Sometime on Friday, the website was altered, and the text was changed to state:
Fact: ACORN never hired Obama as a trainer, organizer, or any type of employee.
The mere fact that his campaign has now changed the language of the site shows that they have conceded the fact that their original remark was a bold-face lie. As a lawyer Sen. Obama should know the importance of language.

Acorn and their donors are making it completely impossible to have time to qualify all voters and this will disenfranchise and ANGER many who won’t get to vote simply because they couldn’t get verified in time. It also allows some of the repeat voter registrations to go thru and voters to vote several times.
It’s pretty hard to keep track of it all while you are so overloaded to the hilt and busily trying to keep up with ACORN’S NASTY ATTACK ON OUR SYSTEM in an attempt to completely destroy it, as they did with Welfare and our banking system.

The idea is to anger those who are unable to participate simply because ELECTION OFFICIALS CAN IN NO WAY GO THRU THAT MANY IN SUCH A SHORT TIME and can only okay the ones that have been verified leaving so many out. Acorn wins again by getting some thru that are repeat registrations where voter fraud succeeds.
ACORN AND IT’S DONORS HOPE TO DESTROY OUR VOTING SYSTEM, giving those who are left out a false anger that the GOVERNMENT IS SUPPRESSING THEIR VOTE ON PURPOSE. Acorn deliberatley targets registering low income and minorities, those being the people they hope will turn to them thinking this is RACIALLY MOTIVATED, when it’s merely>ACORN and DONORS hope to replace this INTENTIONALLY FLAWED (by Acorn and friends)SYSTEM to be replaced with a socialist system.

Bishop reminds Catholics to remember Judgment Day in the voting booth
Bishop Robert Herman
St. Louis, Oct 18, 2008 / 08:03 am (CNA).- Bishop Robert J. Herman, the administrator of the Archdiocese of St. Louis, has written a column reminding Catholics that their vote will be a decision weighed on the Day of Judgment. He urged Catholics not to treat the unborn as the neglectful rich man treated Lazarus in the biblical parable.
“Judgment Day is on its way,” the bishop wrote in the St. Louis Review. “We cannot stop it. We don’t know when it will come, but just as surely as the sun rises daily, the Son of Man will come when we least expect.”
“For many, this coming election may very well be judgment day, for this election will measure us,” he continued, referencing Christ’s words of judgment in Matthew 10:32-33:
“Everyone who acknowledges Me before others, I will acknowledge before My heavenly Father. But whoever denies Me before others, I will deny before my heavenly Father.”
Bishop Herman asked the faithful to consider what kind of witness they give to God when they enter the voting booth on Election Day.
“The decision I make in the voting booth will reflect my value system. If I value the good of the economy and my current lifestyle more than I do the right to life itself, then I am in trouble,” the bishop wrote.
He cited Pope John Paul II’s apostolic exhortation Christifideles laici, which said outcry on human rights is “false and illusory” if the right to life is not defended to the maximum.
“The right of our children to be protected from destruction is greater than my right to a thriving economy,” Bishop Herman continued.
“My desire for a good economy cannot justify my voting to remove all current restrictions on abortion. My desire to end the war in Iraq cannot justify my voting to remove all current restrictions on abortion.”
Bishop Herman looked to the spiritual dimension as well.
“Those 47 million children our nation destroyed are still living. We have destroyed their bodies, but their souls are still alive. When our Lord comes again, they may very well be there to judge us. Even worse, Jesus tells us that whatever we do to the least of our brethren, we do to Him. We would truly shudder if we heard the words, ‘I was in my mother’s womb but you took my life!’
“It is quite possible that we might see these children, but, depending upon the choices we have made, we may very well be separated from them by a great chasm which cannot be crossed, much as the rich man who ignored Lazarus, the poor man, during his lifetime here on earth but was separated from him after death.”
Bishop Herman said the “deepest problem” with many Catholics is that they have become accustomed to rationalizing away a “life of sinful actions” headed in the wrong direction.
“My goal is not to engage you in some political party way but to engage you with our Savior and His teachings. We need to constantly challenge our accustomed behaviors in the light of the Gospel,” he wrote.
He said the issues of the coming election could help people learn about the teachings of the Catholic Church and to use the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
“When we do this, both we and the heavens will be filled with joy!” he asserted.
“Judgment Day is on its way,” he repeated, encouraging people to pray the family Rosary daily between now and Election Day.
In a previous column for the St. Louis Review, Bishop Herman urged Catholics not to put politics ahead of the Fifth commandment, “Thou shalt not kill.”
“Save our children!” he wrote. “More than anything else, this election is about saving our children or killing our children. This life issue is the overriding issue facing each of us in this coming election. All other issues, including the economy, have to take second place to the issue of life.”
Oct 19, 2008 - 6:01 pm 313. Hassan:Black Catholic Bishop Holley: Abortion Exploits African-American Community
One of the top black Catholic leaders in the nation issued a call for the African-American community to do more to reject abortion. Bishop Martin D. Holley, Auxiliary Bishop of Washington, says a new report underscores the racist nature of abortion and how it preys on black Americans.
Bishop Holley issued a statement LifeNews.com received responding to a report by the Guttmacher Institute, named after a former Planned Parenthood president, showing black women have abortions at five times the rate of white women.
“As an African American, I am saddened by evidence that Black women continue to be targeted by the abortion industry,” the bishop said. “The loss of any child from abortion is a tragedy, but we must ask: Why are minority children being aborted at such disproportionate rates?”
“Our legitimate commitment to other social concerns must not push the primary moral issue of abortion onto the back burner. It clearly must be at the heart and center of our discussion of the survival of African American people,” Bishop Holley said.
The report, released in September, found that, although abortion rates have declined among all racial and ethnic groups, large disparities persist with Hispanic and black women obtaining abortions at rates three and five times higher, respectively, than non-Hispanic white women.
Between 1994 and 2004, the abortion rate for Hispanic women fell by 20% and there was a 30% decline among non-Hispanic white women. But black women saw the lowest decline — at 15 percent during the same time period.
Black women account for 37% of abortions, white women for 34%, Hispanic women 22% and women of other races 8%.
Holley serves as chairman of the Sub-Committee on African American Affairs at the States Conference of Catholic Bishops and is a member of the Committee on Pro-Life Activities.
In comments provided to LifeNews.com, Bishop Holley also called for the federal defunding of the abortion industry.
“Every year the federal government gives over $300 million to Planned Parenthood. Last year for the first time, Planned Parenthood took in over one billion dollars and reported a profit of $51 million,” he said of the supposed non-profit organization.
The Bishop called upon African Americans to “defend our community by rededicating ourselves to family life and marriage, promoting the gift of chastity and marital fidelity, committing ourselves to prayer and service to others and defending the life and dignity of each human person.”
“We can welcome every child as a gift and we can overcome abortion,” he said.

The reason the media and Hassan Obama attacked Joe the plumber is very simple.
It comes out of the Karl Marx book of Marxism. If you can not answer the charge you attack the messanger. Have you noticed they attack Joe. The message and recording of Obama selling his socialism is forgotten and lost. I do not buy any left wing mags or newspapers. Do nt support your enemies. Same goes for the holywood crap.

Obama, the community organizer, orchestrated a coup in Kenya
By Ted Belman
Obama prides himself as being a community organizer. This may sound benign but it isn’t when done according to Saul Alinsky’s playbook. Alinsky preached seizing power by any means. We see those means in the work of ACORN. We see them in Obama refusing to discuss the past truthfully or allow any one else to do so. Everyone who knew him is mum. For Obama, no lie is too big. Deny, deny, deny.
Here is the latest outrage. Secret Service says “Kill him” allegation unfounded. This fits in totally with the Alinsky playbook.
Now we learn of another success by Obama using this playbook. Kenyan insiders say Obama was part of takeover strategy
Former members of Kenyan opposition leader Raila Odinga’s Orange Democratic Movement party have told WND when Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama visited Kenya on a “fact-finding” trip in 2006, he was carrying out part of a secret election strategy that also included exploiting divisive tribal tensions and ultimately taking advantage of rioting that left 1,000 dead.
Oct 19, 2008 - 8:22 pm 318. pat:This strategy included the following
Odinga did conduct a campaign against President Mwai Kibaki by charging his administration with corruption, advancing anti-Kibaki sentiments aimed at inciting Kenyan youth to vote for Odinga and ultimately calling for protest by Odinga’s fellow Luo tribal members. Kibaki is of the majority Kikuyu tribe.
The “protests” turned violent, and in January and February a brutal wave of Odinga-supporting, machete-wielding Luo mobs killed an estimated 1,000 members of the Kikuyu tribe, displaced over 350,000 Kenyans from their homes and destroyed some 800 Christian churches, all without a single mosque being damaged.
The sources reported Odinga simply was following the script his policy strategists laid out for him in the Nyongo strategy document.
The general tone of the strategy was to encourage the Odinga campaign to claim to be leading in the presidential race regardless of the actual numbers and be prepared to proclaim victory even if Odinga lost.
The officials poll results showed he lost to the incumbent by about 250,000 votes.
The plan called for “opportunities” for Odinga to pursue, including efforts to “exploit anti-Kikuyu statements,” with a determination to “leverage the vulnerability of the Kibaki administration responses to corruption” and confront Kibaki with “a powerful anti-corruption message.”
Wake up America Obama paid a million or more dollars to defraud and steal your vote. Acorn is hand in hand with Obama and the DNC. Stop and think. If Obama can steal your votes and win a super majority with the house and senate he becomes a Marxist socialist dictator of the USA. Do not doubt it. Just look at his Marxist anti American followers thru the years. From Ayers Farrakhan Wright Acorn and 200 million plus unreported dollars from the Middle East. Why would Middle Eastern terrorist want to pay 200 million dollars for OBAMA TO RULE THIS COUNTRY? WAKE UP OR YOU WILL LOSE THE MOST PRECIOUS GIFT OF YOUR ALIENABLE RIGHT OF FREEDOM.

A Messiah Manufactured by Marxism
Oct 19, 2008 - 8:26 pm 320. Jack:Proof is in the Public Record.
“The public record is our only proof,” says former Naval Intelligence Officer Marion Valentine.
“In 1963, while serving in Navy Intelligence (1958-1967), I read the FBI file on Frank Marshall Davis. He had outlined the Communist plan to take over America from within, by installing educators at all levels of our educational system, gaining control of the media, getting Liberal judges appointed, recruiting, training and backing people to be elected to public office.
“I have researched every piece of legislation I can find that the Liberal Democrats have passed since the early sixties, and if you will research for yourself, you will find that they have been slowly moving this country toward Socialism.
“When Obama announced he was running for President as an unknown with only one major speech at the DNC (that the DNC and MSM made so much fuss over), he aroused my old intel suspicions. So I started researching.
“I have not found any evidence to convince me he is a Muslim, bur I did find his radical associations were unusual. I found Frank Marshall Davis, who had fled from Chicago to Hawaii when Obama was 12 years old, was Obama’s mentor from then till Davis died in 1987.
“Davis put Obama in touch with the Socialist Party in Chicago (called the New Party) which Ayers is also a member of, (emphasis added) therefore the first “Planned” contact with Ayers. The New Party helped launch and finance Obama’s political career. Obama…selected, trained, groomed and scripted to become the “puppet” leader of the United Socialist States of America.

Oct 19, 2008 - 10:16 pm 321. pat:This guy is scary
________________________________
This election has me very worried. So many things to consider. About a year ago I would have voted for Obama. I have changed my mind three times since than. I watch all the news channels, jumping from one to another. I must say this drives my husband crazy. But, I feel if you view MSNBC, CNN, and Fox News, you might get some middle ground to work with. About six months ago, I started thinking ‘where did the money come from for Obama’. I have four daughters who went to College, and we were middle class, and money was tight. We (including my girls) worked hard and there were lots of student loans.
I started looking into Obama’s life.
Around 1979 Obama started college at Occidental in California . He is very open about his two years at Occidental, he tried all kinds of drugs and was wasting his time but, even though he ha d a brilliant mind, did not apply himself to his studies. ‘Barry’ (that was the name he used all his life) during this time had two roommates, Muhammad Hasan Chandoo and Wahid Hamid, both from Pakistan
.
During the summer of 1981, after his second year in college, he made a ’round the world’ trip. Stopping to see his mother in Indonesia , next Hyderabad in India , three weeks in Karachi , Pakistan where he stayed with his roommate’s family, then off to Africa to visit his father’s family. My question - Where did he get the money for this trip? Nether I, nor any one of my children would have had money for a trip like this when they where in college. When he came back he started school at Columbia University in New York . It is at this time he wants everyone to call him Barack - not Barry. Do you know what the tuition is at Columbia ? It’s not cheap! to sa y the least. Where did he get money for tuition? Student Loans? Maybe. After Columbia , he went to Chicago to work as a Community Organizer for $12,000. a year. Why Chicago ? Why not New York ? He was already living in New York .
By ‘chance’ he met Antoin ‘Tony’ Rezko, born in Aleppo Syria , and a real estate developer in Chicago . Rezko has been convicted of fraud and bribery this year. Rezko, was named ‘Entrepreneur of the Decade’ by the Arab-American Business and Professional Association’. About two years later, Obama entered Harvard Law School . Do you have any idea what tuition is for Harvard Law School ? Where did he get the money for Law School? More student loans? After Law school, he went back to Chicago . Rezko offered him a job, which he turned down. But, he did take a job with Davis, Miner, Barnhill & Galland. Guess what? They represented ‘Rezar’ which Rezko’s firm. Rezko was one of Obama’s first major financial contributors when he ran for office in Chicago .
In 2003, Rezko threw an early fundraiser for Obama which Chicago Tribune reporter David Mendelland claims was instrumental in providing Obama with ’seed money’ for his U.S. Senate race. In 2005, Obama purchased a new home in Kenwoood District of Chicago for $1.65 million
(less than asking price). With ALL those Student Loans - Where did he get the money for the property? On the same day Rezko’s wife, Rita, purchased the adjoining empty lot for full price. The London Times reported that Nadhmi Auchi, an Iraqi-born Billionaire loaned Rezko $3.5 million three weeks before Obama’s new home was purchased. Obama met Nadhmi Auchi many times with Rezko.
Now, we have Obama running for President. Valerie Jarrett,! ! was Michele Obama’s boss. She is now Obama’s chief advisor and he does not make any major decisions without talking to her first. Where was Jarrett born? Ready for this? Shiraz , Iran ! Do we see a pattern here? Or am I going crazy?
On May 10, 2008 The Times reported, Robert Malley advisor to Obama was ’sacked’ after the press found out he was having regular contacts with ‘Hamas’, which controls Gaza and is connected with Iran . This past week, buried in the back part of the papers, Iraqi newspapers reported that during Obama’s visit to Iraq , he asked their leaders to do nothing about the war until after he is elected, and he will ‘Take care of things’.
Oh, and by the way, remember the college roommates that where born in Pakistan ? They are in charge of all those ’small’ Internet campaign contribution for Obama. Where is that money coming from? The poor and middle class in this country? Or could it be from the Middle East ?
And the final bit of news. On September 7, 2008, The Washington Times posted a verbal slip that was made on ‘This Week’ with George Stephanapoulos. Obama on talking about his religion said, ‘My Muslim faith’. When questioned, ‘he made a mistake’. Some mistake!
All of the above information I got on line. If you would like to check it - Wikipedia, encyclopedia, Barack Obama; Tony Rezko; Valerie Jarrett: Daily Times - Obama visited Pakistan in 1981; The Washington Times - September 7,
2008; The Times May 10, 2008.
Now the BIG question - If I found out all this information on my own, Why haven’t all of our ‘intelligent’ members of the press been reporting this?
A phrase that keeps ringing in my ear - ‘Beware of the &nb sp;enemy from within’!!!

Meridian Magazine ^ | Orson Scott Card

Would the Last Honest Reporter Please Turn On the Lights? By Orson Scott Card
Editor’s note: Orson Scott Card is a Democrat and a newspaper columnist, and in this opinion piece he takes on both while lamenting the current state of journalism.
An open letter to the local daily paper — almost every local daily paper in America:
I remember reading All the President’s Men and thinking: That’s journalism. You do what it takes to get the truth and you lay it before the public, because the public has a right to know.
This housing crisis didn’t come out of nowhere. It was not a vague emanation of the evil Bush administration.
It was a direct result of the political decision, back in the late 1990s, to loosen the rules of lending so that home loans would be more accessible to poor people. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were authorized to approve risky loans.
What is a risky loan? It’s a loan that the recipient is likely not to be able to repay.
The goal of this rule change was to help the poor — which especially would help members of minority groups. But how does it help these people to give them a loan that they can’t repay? They get into a house, yes, but when they can’t make the payments, they lose the house — along with their credit rating.
They end up worse off than before.
This was completely foreseeable and in fact many people did foresee it. One political party, in Congress and in the executive branch, tried repeatedly to tighten up the rules. The other party blocked every such attempt and tried to loosen them.
Furthermore, Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae were making political contributions to the very members of Congress who were allowing them to make irresponsible loans. (Though why quasi-federal agencies were allowed to do so baffles me. It’s as if the Pentagon were allowed to contribute to the political campaigns of Congressmen who support increasing their budget.)
Isn’t there a story here? Doesn’t journalism require that you who produce our daily paper tell the truth about who brought us to a position where the only way to keep confidence in our economy was a $700 billion bailout? Aren’t you supposed to follow the money and see which politicians were benefiting personally from the deregulation of mortgage lending?
I have no doubt that if these facts had pointed to the Republican Party or to John McCain as the guilty parties, you would be treating it as a vast scandal. “Housing-gate,” no doubt. Or “Fannie-gate.”
Instead, it was Senator Christopher Dodd and Congressman Barney Frank, both Democrats, who denied that there were any problems, who refused Bush administration requests to set up a regulatory agency to watch over Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and who were still pushing for these agencies to go even further in promoting sub-prime mortgage loans almost up to the minute they failed.
As Thomas Sowell points out in a TownHall.com essay entitled “Do Facts Matter?” ( http://snipurl.com/457townhall_com ): “Alan Greenspan warned them four years ago. So did the Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers to the President. So did Bush’s Secretary of the Treasury.”
These are facts. This financial crisis was completely preventable. The party that blocked any attempt to prevent it was … the Democratic Party. The party that tried to prevent it was … the Republican Party.
Yet when Nancy Pelosi accused the Bush administration and Republican deregulation of causing the crisis, you in the press did not hold her to account for her lie. Instead, you criticized Republicans who took offense at this lie and refused to vote for the bailout!
What? It’s not the liar, but the victims of the lie who are to blame?
Now let’s follow the money … right to the presidential candidate who is the number-two recipient of campaign contributions from Fannie Mae.
And after Freddie Raines, the CEO of Fannie Mae who made $90 million while running it into the ground, was fired for his incompetence, one presidential candidate’s campaign actually consulted him for advice on housing.
If that presidential candidate had been John McCain, you would have called it a major scandal and we would be getting stories in your paper every day about how incompetent and corrupt he was.
But instead, that candidate was Barack Obama, and so you have buried this story, and when the McCain campaign dared to call Raines an “adviser” to the Obama campaign — because that campaign had sought his advice — you actually let Obama’s people get away with accusing McCain of lying, merely because Raines wasn’t listed as an official adviser to the Obama campaign.
You would never tolerate such weasely nit-picking from a Republican.
If you who produce our local daily paper actually had any principles, you would be pounding this story, because the prosperity of all Americans was put at risk by the foolish, short-sighted, politically selfish, and possibly corrupt actions of leading Democrats, including Obama.
If you who produce our local daily paper had any personal honor, you would find it unbearable to let the American people believe that somehow Republicans were to blame for this crisis.
There are precedents. Even though President Bush and his administration never said that Iraq sponsored or was linked to 9/11, you could not stand the fact that Americans had that misapprehension — so you pounded us with the fact that there was no such link. (Along the way, you created the false impression that Bush had lied to them and said that there was a connection.)
If you had any principles, then surely right now, when the American people are set to blame President Bush and John McCain for a crisis they tried to prevent, and are actually shifting to approve of Barack Obama because of a crisis he helped cause, you would be laboring at least as hard to correct that false impression.
Your job, as journalists, is to tell the truth. That’s what you claim you do, when you accept people’s money to buy or subscribe to your paper.
But right now, you are consenting to or actively promoting a big fat lie — that the housing crisis should somehow be blamed on Bush, McCain, and the Republicans. You have trained the American people to blame everything bad — even bad weather — on Bush, and they are responding as you have taught them to.
If you had any personal honor, each reporter and editor would be insisting on telling the truth — even if it hurts the election chances of your favorite candidate.
Because that’s what honorable people do. Honest people tell the truth even when they don’t like the probable consequences. That’s what honesty means . That’s how trust is earned.

AudacityofHypocrisy.com ^ | 10/19/2008 | admin
Posted on Monday, October 20, 2008 17:38:56 by safetysign
According to Michelle Obama, “The truth is, in order to get things like Universal Health Care and a revamped Education System, then someone is going to have to give up a piece of the pie so that someone else can have more.”
Oh, really? Who is the someone who gives up a piece of the pie?
On October, 15,2008, Michelle Obama spent $447.39 on room service (for 2) at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel for an afternoon snack of Lobster Hors D’Oeuvres ($50.00), Whole Steamed Lobsters (100.00), Iranian Osetra Caviar ($150.00), and Bollinger Champagne ($44.00)
See the Michelle Obama wealth redistribution quote below, and the enlarged receipt for the sumptuous snack, signed by Michelle Obama.
Sounds exquisite, doesn’t it, if your culinary tastes run to lobster, caviar and champagne? But this insight into the Obama lifestyle makes us wonder how often Joe ‘the Plumber’ Wurzelbacher of Toledo, Ohio and his family eat lobster with all the trimmings.
How often does the average person eat like this? Or is it only those who make $250,000 or more? Or only the 95% of the population laboring under the illusion that they will get tax breaks under the Obama Wealth Redistribution Plan?

Oct 20, 2008 - 7:51 pm 330. ACORN and others connected to Obama's New Party he belonged to>:To get a sense of where the New Party stood politically, consider some of its early supporters: Barbara Dudley of Greenpeace; Steve Cobble, political director of Jesse Jackson’s Rainbow Coaltion; prominent academics like Frances Fox Piven, coauthor of the “Cloward-Piven strategy” and a leader of the drive for the “motor-voter” legislation Obama later defended in court on behalf of ACORN; economist Juliet Schor; black historian Manning Marable; historian Howard Zinn; linguist Noam Chomsky; Todd Gitlin; and writers like Gloria Steinem and Barbara Ehrenreich. Socialist? Readers can draw their own conclusions. At one point, Sifry does describe the party’s goals as “social democratic.” In any case, the New Party clearly stands substantially to the left of the mainstream Democratic party.
ACORN CONNECTION
Unquestionably, ACORN was one of the most important forces behind the creation of the New Party. According to Sifry: “Wade Rathke, ACORN’s lead national organizer, was in on the founding discussions that led to the New Party, and the group’s political director, Zach Polett, also came to play a big role in guiding New Party field organizing for the party [in Chicago and Little Rock].” In fact, Sifry portrays ACORN’s leading role in the New Party as the result of a conscious decision by the organization to move into electoral politics in a more substantial way than they had been able to solely through their political action committee. In addition to Rathke and Polett, a key early supporter of the New Party was Obama’s closest ACORN contact, Madeline Talbott.
While ACORN played an important founding role for the New Party nationally, ACORN was clearly the main force behind the New Party chapter in Chicago. In general, New Party chapters built around an ACORN nucleus were the most disciplined and successful party outposts. Nationally, the New Party’s biggest wins were in Chicago, very much including Obama’s victory in his 1996 run for the Illinois state senate. Chicago’s New Party was actually formed around two core elements, ACORN and the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) Local 880. Yet, as Sifry notes, SEIU 880 was itself an ACORN offshoot.
Together ACORN and SEIU 880 were the dominant forces in Chicago’s New Party.

Republican Leaders Who Participate in Attacks on ACORN Could be Prosecuted as Part of a Criminal Conspiracy

MARK KARLIN’S EDITOR’S BLOG
October 20
Let the GOP muck-a-mucks across the nation who are participating in a nationwide RNC/McCain diversionary campaign against ACORN be warned: In a new administration of light and truth – instead of Cheney’s dark shadows and Bush’s lies – you may be subject to prosecution for participating in a criminal conspiracy to suppress votes and violate the Voting Rights Act.
We do not exaggerate.
The unrelenting and profoundly dishonest and misleading attempt to brand a national community organizing group as some sort of minority enterprise of ghetto thieves is nothing more than a GOP tradition of using ACORN as a scapegoat to justify voter suppression. And organized voter suppression is a crime. In fact, a creative prosecutor under Obama could apply the RICO Act to the RNC/McCain daily deluge of attempts to get voters to believe that ACORN is engaged in voter fraud and then using that cover to disenfranchise voters.

Newsvine.com ^ | 10/8/2008 | Jazzman646
Posted on Tuesday, October 21, 2008 11:27:56 by Bobkk47
I have been hoping I would never have to write this article. I hoped it would never get to this point, which would force me to openly speak out against the first African American to seriously have a chance to be elected President of the United States.
But after reviewing all the Stanley Kurtz material on Barack Obama/Bill Ayers relationship, I’ve come to the conclusion Barack Obama is definitely under the influence of a radical ideology that is so dangerous, it could literally pose a danger to the very existence of the United States, especially when we have an economy already in crises, and a war in progress against one of the greatest threats we have ever faced, in Islamic terrorism. (Photo to the right is William Ayers mug shot taken upon arrest by Chicago police in 1968 - just before Ayers began his campaign in the early 70’s - bombing campaign that is, not political)
I know Barack Obama. No I haven’t met Barack Obama personally, but I know many African Americans like him. African Americans who were born in the 1950’s and early 1960’s who are now in their 40 and 50’s in age. I am of that generation.
Our generation grew up personally witnessing the turmoil of the 1960’s and 70’s, which shaped our viewpoint of America. During the great civil rights movement of this era a very young radical element evolved and came into being in the Northern black communities of major cities of America.
This element I refer to did not embrace the nonviolent civil disobedience philosophy of Martin Luther King. In fact we ridiculed King’s non-violent movement going on in the South. We wanted to meet violence with violence, and so organizations like the Black Panther Party, Student Non Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) (which later renounced non-violence) and The Nation of Islam came into being in cities like NY, Chicago, Boston, and LA. Those times and organizations produced leaders like Malcolm X, Stokely Carmichael, Huey Newton, the dis-Honorable Elijah Muhammad, Bobby Seale, and others.
In the mid 60’s those leaders of the black radical movement began to form alliances with white radical groups also dedicated to the use of violence in the opposition to American policies. Groups like the Weathermen (or Weather Underground as they later became known), the Yippies (Youth International party) , the SDS, had become active on American college campuses protesting the Vietnam war. These groups were led by people such as Abbie Hoffman, Jerry Rubin, Bill Ayers, Berenedette Dohrn , Cathy Wilkerson. I remember them all. Young Kathy Boudin was one who died in preparation of a bomb.
At age 16, born and being raised in New York City, these people became my greatest political influence and also that of many other young African Americans, I came very close to joining the Black Panther Party, but in several years I was totally discouraged with that movement and embraced the teachings and beliefs of MLK.
But there are many AA’s who grew up in that era who never stopped believing the basic idea that America was a evil and racist place, although these same people moved into the mainstream of middle and upper class American society to have families, own homes, and get decent paying jobs, as they grew older.
I personally know many of them who still have a deep rooted, well hidden hatred, for white Americans, for perceived racial grievances, both past and present. These people will interact with whites on a daily basis, but in private in the presence of other AA’s express their true bitterness regarding this country, and the need for change, no matter how radical that change may be
Based on things I have heard and read of his associations in the 90’s with Bill Ayers and others,, when he was 34 and not 8 years old (as Barack relates his age to the bombing apex of Ayers, instead of when his true interaction occurred), I believe Barack Obama is one of those people with a basic belief that America is an evil and racist nation that needs radical change. I not only believe that of Barack, but of his wife Michelle too, who early in his campaign let slip her true feelings about this country.
I too once held that same bitterness, and I won’t claim it doesn’t some time well up in me. But I finally rejected , and am able to overcome the hatred and bitterness, as I came to understand through my Christian spiritual experience what the true causes of racism and all other hatred and disputes between humans truly stem from.
But I truly doubt Barack and Michelle have rejected their hidden rage and bitterness, under the warped hateful Afro-centric version of Christianity , which they were subjected to for many years under the pastor-ship Rev Jeremiah Wright.
Afro-centrisim is basically came into being to falsely legitimize the deeply hidden bitterness and hatred toward the white community. Instead of a true Christian spirituality which would cleanse the person of hatred and bitterness, Afro-centrism re enforces that hatred and bitterness. A couple of very subtle but sure signs of how Barack and Michelle truly feel about his country were his refusal to wear an American flag pin on his lapel, until media coverage of the issue forced him too, and Michelle’s statement about being feeling some pride for her country for the first time in her life. Every African American in this country from age 40-60 could probably identify with, and understood those two statements , one physical and one verbal, by the Obama’s.
But although I can identify with the Obama’s,, feelings I can’t stay silent in the thought that this type of radicalism may soon sit as the executive head of our government. I feel African Americans in our sometimes blind rage about racism, have made many unholy alliances with less than stellar elements of the white community on a quest to press to their own agendas, to the detriment of ours.
I truly believe the relationship between Barack Obama and William Ayers epitomizes those unholy alliances of the 60’s and early 70’s, which driven from the streets, moved into the inner city black neighborhoods and schools of Chicago, morphed into something seemingly respectable, but only spreading the same hatred and bitterness.
My warning to all Americans both white and black (those AA’s who can overcome the vote black impulse) is that in Barack Obama, you are not getting Bill Cosby, you are getting a very well disguised version of Louis Farrakhan.
The question you need to ask yourself now and on Nov 4th is this.
Do you really want to put the toxic cocktail of a character mentored and tutored by Rev Jeremiah Wright and Bill Ayers in the White House?
Especially when this country is facing economic and security issues so critical our very existence is threatened.
I do not.
Some African Americans will read this and brand me a traitor for this article. I say to them what good is changing America from what you may believe is bad to something much worse, for the small satisfaction of being able to say we have a black man in the White House.

You ever hear McCain mention the Global Poverty Act that Obama sponsored in the senate? This will cost taxpayers $845+ billion over 13 years. Reparations would probably cost taxpayers less than Obama’s proposed Global Welfare Program ($845 Billion / 40.9 million blacks in USA = about $20, 600). Instead of giving more money to the UN as Obama proposed, we’d at least have the money spent over here if we did the reparations instead.
I certainly don’t want reparations but I’d sure prefer it to the crap that Obama has proposed. I’d say to Obama and the liberals that we’ll make you do reparations before you do this global welfare program. Obama and the liberals wouldn’t want to hear that because (1) their base would be mad at them giving the money to the UN instead of paying reparations. (2) It would bury them in the election because there would be very little support for reparations. (3) It would bury their plan to sneak Obama’s global welfare program past us. (4) Making this an issue is a win-win for the republicans.
If McCain had made this an issue, it would have buried Obama. Blacks wouldn’t like him sending $845 billion to the UN when we have people that need help too. There’s not many Republicans that would have bought into Obama’s BS.

Voter Fraud: Republican leaders want to defund and criminally investigate ACORN. Why should taxpayer dollars fund a “nonpartisan” organization that proclaims “Obama needs ACORN, and we need Obama.”
——————————————————————————–
Read More: Election 2008
That the greatest attempt at voter fraud in the nation’s history is being funded in large part at taxpayer’s expense is more than a bit ironic. House Minority Leader John Boehner wants it stopped and Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, wants the group allegedly behind the fraud, ACORN, criminally investigated and prosecuted.
ACORN calls itself a “nonpartisan” group seeking to register minorities and the poor. But its political arm has endorsed Barack Obama, who both trained the group’s staff and sued the state of Illinois on their behalf. And Obama’s campaign has given ACORN affiliates $800,000 for a get-out-the-vote drive.
In fact, it’s a get-out-the-vote for Obama drive as evidenced by a video recently aired by Fox News that showed just how “nonpartisan” the group is. It was taken at ACORN’s national convention where Rep. Maxine Waters spoke to a sea of ACORN organizers wearing their uniform of red baseball caps and shirts.
Waters, to great applause and cheers, said: “This has been the worst presidency that this country has ever known. But that’s all right. We’re getting rid of his (President Bush’s) ass. He’s got to go.”
The next speaker, an ACORN representative defined who “we” meant. She said: “We’re getting Obama for president! Obama needs us, ACORN, but we need Obama. Don’t we? Yeah!”
A list of government funding of ACORN released by Boehner reveals that some $31 million in taxpayer dollars have been given to the group since 1998. Using Federal Register records, Boehner found ACORN got the money through 54 individual grants in 11 different states.
They would have gotten much more if the original Democratic version of the federal rescue bill had passed. It gave to groups such as ACORN 20% of any profits from the future resale of acquired mortgages, a massive potential rip-off of taxpayers.
“House Republicans worked together to stop the majority from using taxpayer dollars to fill a slush fund created just for ACORN, but now we must go further to turn off the spigot of federal grants on which ACORN depends,” Boehner said last week.
Cornyn notes that, due to the efforts of ACORN’s red shirts in “Harris County, Texas, which includes the City of Houston, election officials either rejected or discovered serious deficiencies with nearly 40% of the 27,000 registration cards filed by ACORN from January through July of this year.”
ACORN will say its voting activities are separate and not funded by the taxpayer. But money is fungible. Cornyn recently wrote to Attorney General Michael Mukasey, arguing “that because the violations of federal voting laws by ACORN employees appear to be so widespread, ACORN and its affiliates should be investigated as a criminal enterprise.”
We agree. Those orchestrating this attempt to steal the 2008 election should go to jail, directly to jail, and not collect our $200.
Oct 23, 2008 - 10:59 am 342. Sven, you get us all asking questions:I read this piece somewhere where someone was talking about people in downtown Chicago going into abandoned properites (business and such) and taking them over. I guess taxes weren’t payed and they had the legal rights or SQUATTERS RIGHTS to get them for FREE. I found that curious.
I keep coming back to the thought that it makes absolutely NO LOGICAL SENSE for ACORN to hire and pay people to register voters that are mostly BOGUS… where’s the gain for ACORN?
Supposedly, these people are getting paid per registration according to what I have heard. How much registering can one do to make a living. I saw a video of an Acorn worker who said she’s worked for them for years. How could she afford to make a living doing that unless she is registering these mostly bogus people all year round? If that were the case,you could multiply that by how many work for Acorn and my gosh, how many mostly bogus registrations are they making all together, and what must that be doing to our election sites in KEY STATES ESPECIALLY, OR, are they doing other things to make a living with ACORN, since number ARE UP for registrations…they don’t reflect THAT MANY NUMBERS,DO THEY?
I then, started thinking, how on Earth they could put so many NINJA loans (including illegals)together, and I wondered where all these people were coming from. I know that Acorn was making a lot of their OWN BANK LOANS,and they say that CRA BANKS usually keep their bank loans (and it’s been reported they didn’t have issues with collapse like other banks). I am curious exactly what ACORN DID WITH THEIR BANK LOANS, who did they pass them off to. Is it possible that the subprime home (and other) loans came from ACORN EMPLOYEES WHO ACTED AS THOSE WANTING A HOME… FILLED OUT APPLICATIONS AND ASSISTED ACORN IN FLOODING AND DESTROYING OUR BANKING SYSTEM? All the while, CRA (with manipulation eventually from fannie and freddie?) was busily strong arming banks into giving these loans out, WHILE ACORN asking for VERY LARGE DONATIONS WHICH PAYED FOR WHAT TYPE OF SECURITY FOR CRA BANKS?
Just curious!?

Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama was morally justified to oppose legislation in the Illinois State Senate that would have ensured that a child who survives a failed abortion received medical attention, according to Democratic leaders.
While in the Illinois Senate, Obama opposed three bills that proposed protection in three different legislative votes, a decision that Republican presidential candidate John McCain said was wrong in the last presidential debate.
After the debate, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean said that Obama did the right thing and defended his position.
Watch the Video.
“If you looked at those little meters, McCain lost that debate,” Schumer told CNSNews.com. “Most Americans are pro-choice. Most Americans don’t want to repeal Roe v. Wade, and I thought Obama was great there. He had his views but he was very respectful of the other side. Sometimes the left is a little too condescending to the other side.”
Earlier this month, CNSNews.com Editor-in-Chief Terry Jeffrey reported that, in 2001, Illinois State Senator Patrick O’Malley introduced three bills to the legislature. One said that if a doctor performing an abortion believed there was a likelihood the baby would survive, another physician must be present “to assess the child’s viability and provide medical care.”
Another bill gave the parents, or a state-appointed guardian, the right to sue to protect the child’s rights. A third bill said that a baby alive after “complete expulsion or extraction from its mother” would be considered a “person, ‘human being,’ ‘child’ and ‘individual.’”
Obama voted against all three.
During the last presidential debate, Obama responded to McCain’s allegation that his votes aligned him with the most “extreme aspect of the pro-abortion movement in America.”

Oct 24, 2008 - 7:10 pm 357. GREG:U.S. Catholic Bishop Rene H. Gracida Releases Radio Ad Stating no Catholic can Vote for Barack Obama in Good Conscience
MEDIA ADVISORY, October 24 /Christian Newswire/ — Today - perhaps in an eleventh hour answer to prayer for the unborn - Bishop Rene H. Gracida has released a stunning radio ad concerning Catholics voting for Barack Obama. His ad is recorded in English and Spanish.
Oct 24, 2008 - 7:11 pm 358. GREG:Bishop Gracida boldly states:
“This is Bishop Rene H. Gracida, reminding all Catholics that they must vote in this election with an informed conscience. A Catholic cannot be said to have voted in this election with a good conscience if they have voted for a pro-abortion candidate. Barack Hussein Obama is a pro-abortion candidate.”
The commercial can be heard in English and Spanish at http://www.randallterry.com.
Bishop Gracida has offered this radio spot without charge for all who want to use it. All faithful Catholics are invited to download the mp3 file, and place this ad on their local radio station(s).
They must simply contact their local radio station(s), and pay for the ad as an “independent expenditure.” The station can download the audio file to play on the radio. The mp3 file is also available at http://www.randallterry.com.
Moreover, permission is granted for the ad to be downloaded, sent as a file, or posted on any web site in America.
If this ad receives the airplay it deserves, it could sink Obama’s campaign by jolting Catholic voters back to their senses and moorings. Over 50% of Catholic voters have been seduced into ethical quicksand by errant Catholics who are partisan supporters of Obama and have betrayed the lives of innocent unborn children.
IBERALS HATE THE TRUTH. THEY WILL LIE AND ATTACK OTHERS TO HIDE THEIR FAILED BANKRUPT POLICIES. CENCORSHIP CAN NOT STOP FREEDOM. THE LEFT IS 99% OF ALL TERRORISTS THROUGH HISTORY. COMMUNISTS ARE LEFT WING OR CODE WORD LIBERAL. THE LEFT WILL LOSE THIS ELECTION BECAUSE OF THEIR BLATANT CENCORSHIP OF THE TRUTH AND HATE FILLED SPEECH. THE SAME WAY YOU TREATED JOE THE PLUMBER YOU HAVE DONE TO THE MIDDLE CLASS.

The key was to appear benign and safe, but what was really the goal was to organize huge blocks of poor minorities and then use that voting block to enact socialist agendas. If you go back and look at the early writings of some of the leaders of ACORN from the late sixites, esp. those of Samuel Ottenbrenner, you’ll see that they did painstaking analysis of the US Constitution and found vulnerabilities that they could use to turn AMERICA into AMERIKA.
You people are so naive. IF you only knew the truth, you would be outraged at the fact that one of their main supporters is now actually in the White House.

The republican party is no more, now its the left-wing liberial-democratic socialists party, face the facts, i was born in hawaii in 1963, the same year Obama claimed he was, my birth certificuit is on a slip of paper which is 3 inches long by 4 inches, it states my parents full name, the date, city state i was born, the time i was born, my name and signature of doctor who dilivered me, and thats all!
its not on a 8×11 fancy document that looks like a diploma, thats the one obama produced, anybody could get one of those today, but not back then. there is alot of scanned copies of his birth certificuit on like, look on the bottom right corner, you’ll have to save it then zoom in on it,the two digit revised number in the corner is the date, 1967, its a copy, he has not produced the original, he’s been dodging questions about his birthplace, the FBI has proof he was born in kenya, but with OBama croonies in higher places of government.
i doubt you’ll ever see it brought up, pinetta’s in the CIA only to destroy evidence of obamas past., could be, ! this country is going down the tubes by these socialists, the first step of a socialist, is a goose step.
my version of getting rid of these assholes ACORN is to firebomb their offices, thats coming soon, welfare reform, heres my version, if your paralized from the neck dowm, or have terminal cancer, you can collect welfare, if your arms and legs are present and they move, you can get a job and work.
we got too many section 8 jerks that have for years been living off the welfare system, at our expense, shut it down and tell them they have to work cause there are no more free rides.

I have always said, this country is on its last legs, Obama is going to destroy it from within, unless we do the things that we’ve all at one time boasted to our firends we’d do, fight to the bitter end or die trying.
