It would be extremely difficult to manage such an operation of fraud." <BR/><BR/>So if nothing dubious is occuring and ACORN is a victim, why were GOP Poll Observers locked out in Ohio during "The Golden Week"? <BR/><BR/>PLease don't pee on my leg and tell me it's raining. There is no point in registering fake names or real ones multiple times for any other reason than to vote often or cast doubt if there's a loss and it's close. Perhaps some of us Republicans may be nuts as you say but we are not stupid. <BR/><BR/>I have not missed an opportunity to vote in the Valley for the last 15 years and never once have I been asked for my ID. Not even the first time so if you are so confident that there is no harm in breaking the registration laws because they are not violating the voting laws then you shouldn't be afraid of requiring ID be shown by every voter at the polls. <BR/><BR/>-TonyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-20201210949207763102008-10-14T09:22:00.000-04:002008-10-14T09:22:00.000-04:00anonymous 9:19AmIf there is no audience for libera...anonymous 9:19Am<BR/>If there is no audience for liberal radio then why have they attempted time and time again to get on the air. The failed Air America with the likes of Al Franken and Randi Rhodes was a disaster leaving Al with a large, unpaid tax bill. They have attempted time and time and time again to get conservative talk show hosts off the air. As to the ability of liberals to think through things I do not find that to be the case. They have but one cause and that is socialism where the government takes care of them. Their primary reason for running is to save abortion as witnessed by their vicious attack on Sarah Palin. Had she exibited the scar of abortion the Hillary supporters would have lined up behind her. <BR/>As to the conspiracy to remove the conservatives from the air, it is not a conspiracy because it is right out in the open. Pelosi and Reid have announced their intention to put the FAIRNESS doctrine into place. Not satisfied with the major TV networks on their side nor 80% of the self proclaimed liberals in the MSM, they need to eliminate their enemies. Thus the FAIRNESS act will be brought back by the Progressives. As stated in my previous post, go to LIBERAL 146 at Sirius and listen to the folks, Alex Bennett, Bill Press, Lynn Samuels and their audience. If LIBERAL 146 was a movie it would be Rated XXX.Chris Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02141116246755465629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-47584591036588569632008-10-12T21:43:00.000-04:002008-10-12T21:43:00.000-04:00Bob Jr 457Are your referring to the committee (4Ds...Bob Jr 457<BR/><BR/>Are your referring to the committee (4Ds and 8Rs) that concluded Palin abused her power in tropper gate or are you referring to the fact that she was collect Govt Per Diem rates while she stayed at home?<BR/><BR/>I do not think this is what Americans want to hear, but it appears that the McCain camp keep making suggestions about Character.<BR/><BR/>Maybe that is the McCain camps strategy, even if they take some hits in the process.

Astute people who are craving 'relevent information' don't want to listen to someone telling them what they want to hear.<BR/>I never understood why some thought 'liberal' radio would work. People who reason through and think out problems will not be swayed by someone just telling them what they already believe is great.<BR/>Sadly, all right wingnut radio does is take that kernnel of truth and pop it into an entire bag of popcrap. I am amazed some who consider themselves intelligent really believe there is this vast conspiracy to hide the truth and only Limbaugh and Fox can point the way.<BR/>How many Coulter books do you own.

As with the case discussed in the media recently, it was quite clear that the same handwriting was on all of the purged forms. Since these alleged bogus applications were both R and D (yes I did say Rs), it seems more of an attempt to commit paycheck fraud, then an attempt to commit voter fraud on “election day” <BR/><BR/> Now, we have a very professional and competent staff in LC. They are by-the-book and by no means a rubber stamp for anyone. I have no doubt they have and continue to do their due diligence. It is my impression, that in LC and NC first time or re-registered voters must show official ID that matches and submit a signature that matches the voter registration. <BR/><BR/>Given the prudent work of voter registration and polling staff, I feel we have a safety net.<BR/><BR/>I am more concerned about discourage voters due to long lines at the polls resulting from a limited number of machines (like we say in Cleveland)<BR/><BR/>What about the groups trying to purge voters in MI that no longer live at the address they are registered because they recently lost their house to foreclosure?<BR/><BR/>What about the absentee ballots that were sent out with “Barack Osama”. How did that happen?

On election day you can vote in Ohio and in PA. When you register in Ohio you do not have to live there you simply have to indicate your intent to live there and you can remain on the rolls for 4 years. I believe you can do a similar thing in Hew Hempshire. <BR/>Acorn is a very bad organization.This is not the first time they have been involved in illegal voter registration activity. They were all over tonight'e news. They were also involved in the Community Reinvestment Act matter protesting banks in certian areas when they refused to make loans for unqualified people or would not lend money to commercail enterprises that stunk to high heaven. In this $700 billion bailout the Progerssives wanted to give 20% of it to ACORN. <BR/><BR/>Anonymous 2:56PM<BR/>Rush has put together a fantastic business model and has been successful for 20 years. He constantly reminds listeners that he is not a journalist as do the other conservatives hosts. The liberals think that all they have to do is get on the radio and the swans will come to listen. That does not happen. Air America is the most recent liberal plan to fail. Mario Cumo tried it and God knows he was the beloved of the New Deal Dems. Some how he lost something, when it was his time to run. I will guarantee you that if the FAIRNESS doctrine goes into place AM radio will go back to music and fall on its face. Rush and all the others will successfully move to satalitte radio and continue there success there. Liberalism has found a home there. If you have a Sirius radio try Liberal 146 but make sure you have a fire extiiguisher and earplugs. They use language that old sailors have never heard and so does the audience.Chris Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02141116246755465629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-2396374865336333972008-10-12T20:02:00.000-04:002008-10-12T20:02:00.000-04:00Bernie,While it may not be voter fraud in register...Bernie,<BR/>While it may not be voter fraud in registering false names, it is an action that is intended to impact the outcome of the election ultimately.

It is a good thing to promote voter registration in general. That is a valid use of taxpayer funding. But ACORN targets a specific demographic area with advocacy not utilized with the general population. And there is no question who benefits- the Democrat Party. Having inflated registration figures based on duplicate, fraudulant registration practices IS a benefit to a specific party. How many news articles have there been in the past year highlighting the enormous registration edge of the Democrat Party? This has a psychological effect on the electorate that benefits Democratic candidates. So, even though dead people and Dallas Cowboys will eventually be culled from the records, ACORNS poor business practices or outright fraudulant actions serve only to tie up the system and mislead the electorate. ACORN should be buried by a squirrel, or via multiple lawsuits.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
