Relentlessly Pursued by ACORN, One Guy Registered to Vote 72 Times

Updates by SusanUnPC via Hot Air’s Ed Morrissey and a Fox News video:

Congressional Republicans have finally demanded an end to federal funding for ACORN after more than a dozen states have opened investigations into fraud in their voter-registration efforts. House Minority Leader John Boehner has not only called to end that funding for ACORN but also for all federal candidates to stop contracting with ACORN while investigations continue into their business practices. … (Read all.)

…………………………………………

Ok I’m bordering on laughter now.

Somebody needs to shut down this scammed election process immediately and hold everything until ACORN and Barack Obama are investigated for conspiring to fix an election. This is a matter of National Security.

Hey, what do you expect from Obama. Not only does he have no respect for Democracy, he fixed the primaries, so he just thinks he can Chicago-Thug his way to a rigged Presidency too.

We already know he trained “Project Vote” people where it all got started in Chicago. There is no sense of denying it. It’s on his own damned resume. We already know he gave ACORN money and made a “mistake” on his FEC filings. What does our government need, a telephone poll on its head to know this election process has been corrupted beyond salvation?

This is getting so transparent it’s downright felonious–if not treasonous. Somebody belongs in the slammer holding a very wet bar of soap this very moment.

I will be updating this post as soon as I find a link to FOX’s story of ACORN hiring 59 convicted felons to help with their voter drive.

Meanwhile, Here’s a story of habitual voter registration fraud:

CLEVELAND – Two Ohio voters, including Domino’s pizza worker Christopher Barkley , claimed yesterday that they were hounded by the community-activist group ACORN to register to vote several times, even though they made it clear they’d already signed up.

Barkley estimated he’d registered to vote “10 to 15″ times after canvassers for ACORN, whose political wing has endorsed Barack Obama, relentlessly pursued him and others.

Claims such as his have sparked election officials to probe ACORN.

“I kept getting approached by folks who asked me to register,” Barkley said. “They’d ask me if I was registered. I’d say yes, and they’d ask me to do it [register] again.

”Some of them were getting paid to collect names. That was their sob story, and I bought it,” he said.

Barkley is one of at least three people who have been subpoenaed by the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections as part of a wider inquiry into possible voter fraud by ACORN. The group seeks to register low-income voters, who skew overwhelmingly Democratic.

“You can tell them you’re-registered as many times as you want — they do not care,” said Lateala Goins, 21, who was subpoenaed.

“They will follow you to the buses, they will follow you home, it does not matter,” she told The Post.

She added that she never put down an address on any of the registration forms, just her name.

A third subpoenaed voter, Freddie Johnson, 19, filled out registration cards 72 times over 18 months, officials said.

“It feeds the public perception that there could be [fraud], and that makes the pillars fall down,” said local Board of Elections President Jeff Hastings.

Registering under a fake name is illegal. But officials usually catch multiple registrations and toss them.

The major risk of fraud growing out of mass canvassing involves the possibility of ineligible voters filing absentee ballots, and thus avoiding checks at polling places, said Republican National Committee chief counsel Sean Cairncross.

The subpoenas come as Republicans have ramped up criticism of ACORN. Officials in Nevada raided ACORN’s Las Vegas office Tuesday, accusing the group of signing people up multiple times – in some cases under phony names, like those of Dallas Cowboys.

ACORN’s Cleveland spokesman, Kris Harsh, said his group collected 100,000 voter-registration cards; only about 50 were questionable, he claimed.

As for workers, “We watch them like a hawk,” he said.

Unless the American people pull their heads outta their asses it will be offical. We will no longer have a Democracy. We will hold show votes so the thugs that manage to strong arm their way into power can say WE WERE ELECTED! Just like the old soviet elections.

Comment by Bigtime | 2008-10-09 17:53:08

I was getting my hair cut today and we were saying the same thing. I said that it feels like we are living in the decline of Democracy and the American Civilization as we know it. Not much hope for people out here.

Nobama!!

Campaign Exposes Shady Side of ACORN

It would be one thing if ACORN was operating on its own, advancing its ideology and views. But the facts reveal that ACORN is not just another group advocating its views, but rather a mere cog in the Obama machine.

FEC reports show that the Obama campaign has paid a subsidiary of ACORN nearly $1 million so far for “outreach services.” Obama has represented ACORN in litigation in Michigan to break down protections against voter fraud.

Comment by Kal | 2008-10-09 19:07:06

And don’t forget, an awful lot of that campaign funding seems to have been coming from some similarly strange places, and from more fake people — or, even, from cats and dogs??

ROFLOL

PUMA!!

Uppity, good post. As usual. Has NoQ talked about how Wade Ranthke started ACORN and how he was with Bill Ayers and Carl Davidson in the SDS?

READ THIS in case you haven’t already.

Maybe I should start writing the media:

“Connect the dots before the revolution causes a future civil war.”

Ya think that would work? eh..

Re Wade Rathke:
Here’s the scoop on his brother’s embezzling mucho dinero from ACORN back in 2000, and lots more info. Wade Rathke also founded SEIU.

I worked for ACORN for a short period several years ago…

Who wants to buy an authenic ACORN tee shirt?? I’ve got one I don’t think I’ll be wearing anymore.

First? Wow…never been first. Everybody else must still be at Happy Hour. I had a thought about this.

Do you suppose these state investigations into ACORN are Bush’s underground legacy?

 

Comment by PKJAYNE | 2008-10-09 17:22:28

This what made me so angry in Ohio about the register to vote and do it the same day. This was a crock that never should have been allowed to happen. As a responsible adult I made sure I registered so I could vote. I felt it was my duty.

All registrations delivered by ACORN should be disavowed and scrubbed from the record.

My right to vote is being manipulated by cheaters. Plain and simple.

Comment by tzada | 2008-10-09 18:02:30

Agreed. I got a call from the McCain/Palin campaign this week. The man I talked to told me that they had attorneys working around the clock on it. The web page for volunteers asks if you are an attorney. They are hitting this fraud thing hard. Everyone of us has got to do our part. Even if it is making calls or sending out emails. Copy these links and send them out. Go to another site and post them.

Comment by Joe McCarthy | 2008-10-11 10:10:26

I’m really bothered that these lower class folks are being registered to vote. I think we need to go back to the days of poll taxes to ensure their kind aren’t allowed in the voting booth.

I think we are headed for another litigated election.
if ever there was a year ripe for it, this is it.
we may not know who the president is until July.

Comment by Shtuey | 2008-10-09 18:00:29

But I suspect that, unlike the Democrats who rolled over and played dead and let us get stuck with that asshat Bush for eight years, the Republicans will take every case to the end. Oh, the irony.

Comment by ScottVA | 2008-10-09 19:02:27

OH SPARE ME!!!… this isn’t about Democrat or GOP! It’s about what is right and what is wrong!!! SO DROP the I’M A VICTIM crap! NoBama is a fraud and it’s not hard to figure out that he can’t win on his own so he’ll come up with a PLAN B…..ACORN! I have to say I’m a diehard Democrat (until this year) but I find it INSANE that ANYONE could come in here and defend NoBama or ACORN and think that’s it’s OK because you have an issue with the Republicans! If the Democrats are that damn dumb to lose elections on their own (and believe me they are – hence the last 8 years with Bush) I don’t see how it’s OK (all the sudden) for NoBama to feel it’s his duty to find a way to cheat his way into the WH! He’ll lose because he’s a FRAUD and a NATIONAL SECURITY threat to this Country in his own right!!!
HILLARY DEMOCRAT FOR MCCAIN ‘08!

Comment by Zeke | 2008-10-09 19:10:31

easy there scott…
nobody is arguing that part… we just find it ironic that its necessary to wait on Republicans to save the day…
Glad they’re there with Indies, Bubba’s et al. We’ll get it done together if we don’t implode out of finger pointing.
It just seems ironic, that’s all.
keep laughing!

Now I know why Daley called off the legal challenges in 2000 — they figured they could just do the same thing, but a lot better. And make it permanent.

Felt funny then, feels real real funny now!

 
 

Comment by Firefly | 2008-10-09 17:28:52

Some DNC guy on Fox a little while ago repeated the lie that 0bama has NO TIES to ACORN – said 0bama never worked for them, was never a lawyer for them.

Fox guy didn’t challenge him on it – at all. What the HELL is going on here?

Comment by Sandi78 | 2008-10-09 18:33:34

Apparently it says that on Nobama’s fight the smears page on his web site and people believe it.

Comment by Newly Independent | 2008-10-09 20:26:59

Apparently it says that on Nobama’s fight the smears page on his web site and people believe it.

Which people? Obama’s kool-aid drinking diehards?

That group will follow Obama into hell, so obviously they’re not going to believe the truth about Obama. Fortunately, that group among Obama’s supporters is small.

It’s the majority of lukewarm Obama supporters (Independents, moderates, etc.) that aren’t going to bother going to his website. They’re the ones that we have to get the truth to before it’s too late.

We must let them know that if Obama gets into the White House that the economy will be the LEAST of their worries. And to let them know that Obama is NOT A CLINTON – he has NO experience in dealing firsthand with a broken economy. Obama will make the economy even worse.

Honestly – do most Americans really want to place the White House and the serious problems America is facing (the war, the economy, the energy crisis) into the hands of a Democrat candidate with even less experience than Bush?

Does the above give anyone nightmares?

Comment by Judi | 2008-10-09 20:46:59

UM, I just read all this about Ayers. I WILL be investigating everything before voting !!! I’m an Obama fan, yes, to the max, but all this would put that mark to a stop. I want any and all info on this. Thanks. Judi

 
 
 

Comment by lusitania | 2008-10-09 18:47:10

I have been watching FOX all day and have noticed that they have been challenging their guests all day. Maybe this guy got past them but I gotta say they have been pretty tough on the obamabots who come on.

Comment by Firefly | 2008-10-09 19:57:32

I’ve noticed that Fox has been challenging the 0bama propaganda pretty well lately too – but yes, this guy definitely slipped past them.

One reason might be that the host was some guy I’ve never seen before – maybe he was a sub or something. He had kinda dark blond or light brown hair – don’t remember much else about him. At the end of the segment the host was arguing, trying to get a word in edgewise with the totally arrogant and obnoxious DNC guy – and the host did totally diss the a-hole in the end, but I think the ACORN lie came up much earlier, before the host got his bearings.

Well, I hope it comes out before the election. Otherwise, Larry will have some ’splainin to do…

Comment by WasLNbutNoBamaBotsKeepStealingMyName | 2008-10-09 17:37:38

Larry hasn’t any “explaining” to do…he does not have the tape, but reported earlier that his trusted sources know who does. If those who have the tape choose not to use it, Larry cannot be blamed.

Comment by Lindsy | 2008-10-09 17:56:02

Actually I’ve heard that the media (in the tank of course) have refused to show the tape on the grounds of racism.

Comment by Sarracuda In So Cal | 2008-10-09 17:57:26

Fox news would show it cause they have been reporting the truth since day 1, I don’t see why they would not show it, they are the ones that started showing Reverend Wright tapes and then the rest of the media started showing it, so your saying the tape is real?

 
 
 
 

Comment by Patrick | 2008-10-09 17:35:13

McCain needs to hit Obama hard in the next few days. He cannot wait any longer or he will lose this election.

Lets just list some of Obama’s problems for a moment here:

1. Berg lawsuit stating Obama was not even born in America
2. Corsi, the author, just getting back from Kenya stating he now has definitive proof Obama gave Odinga (his cousin) advice about how to win his election by crying ‘foul’ if he lost and ‘voter fraud’ and if that didn’t work then to incite riots. By the way, his cousin orchestrated a genocide on his own people.
3. Obama’s spiritual leader for 20 years preached “white hate” in most of his sermons and yet he claims he never heard it after attending for so long.
4. Trinity Church’s gay choir director was murdered in December 2007 just when he was contacting Larry Sinclair about his activity with Obama.
5. Larry Sinclair who claims that in 1999, when Obama was a state senator and married, engaged in oral sex and drug use in the back of his limousine in IL
6. The “whitey” tape.
7. The Rezko real estate deals
8. His close association, over many years, with Bill Ayers which he is continually trying to deny
9. The fact he filled in his law license form stating he had no other previous names when we all know he had at least three other names.
10. ACORN connections and the fact his campaign just paid a subsidiary of ACORN $800,000 to work for Obama’s campaign
11. The fact he will not allow anyone to view his college records, which we all suspect had him applying as either a citizen of “Kenya” or “Indonesia” and that is why he doesn’t want us to see them.
12. The fact his own paternal grandmother and aunts/uncles state they witnessed his birth in Kenya.
13. How did he afford to go on a world travelling trip to Pakistan during college when he states in his book over and over again that he had no money. What did he do there for 3 weeks?
14. Why havent’ we seen anyone from his past come forward to vouch for him? No friends, no family! Heck, he has even stifled his own white grandmother from speaking to the press. Don’t you find it odd that she raised him, as he states in his book, and yet she is never present with him anywhere or at any convention? Very odd!
15. Refusing to wear a flag pin or put his hand over his heart during the pledge of allegiance, until he was pressured to. Something just is not right about that. Where are his allegiances, if not with America?

As you can see, the ammunition against Obama is plentiful. McCain can pick and choose but he must get this information out. If he won’t , then the RNC should! Wake up or you will lose the election!

Comment by politicsIsdirty | 2008-10-09 17:50:55

Patrick asks,
“How did he afford to go on a world travelling trip to Pakistan during college when he states in his book over and over again that he had no money. What did he do there for 3 weeks?”

Patrick, didn’t you watch the second debate? He said his mother and grandmother raised the money by saving the food stamps. Intiende?

Comment by Kal | 2008-10-09 17:52:04

And don’t forget — Biden’s son the Delaware AG was set up to get Larry S. arrested right as he finished his Press Club denouncement of BO re sex, drugs. The arrest allegedly related to bad checks Larry S. had in Delaware, but the case was so flimsy that Biden’s son just so happened to get the charges dropped the same day or the morning after Joe Biden’s nomination as VP with BO was confirmed by the Dem convention.

Comment by tzada | 2008-10-09 18:13:56

Did you notice Obama gaffe at the last debate? He said that the banking rules were so lax in Delaware that a lot of banks went there for that reason… ;)

Comment by Kal | 2008-10-09 19:11:10

Its not a gaffe, its totally true, and one of the first things people learn when they take courses about corporations. Sort of the corporate version of tax haven competition.

I have been volunteering at the McCain headquarters..it is fun. I ACCEPT THAT I HAVE TO HELP THIS NOT HAPPEN.

Please consider doing something while we still can to get things going.

I like being able to tell myself that no matter what happens I will know I did the right thing….FOUR YEARS IS A LONG TIME…8 YEARS WILL BE EVEN LONGER…

Let me chime in too. Again. Volunteer with your county GOP to be a poll observer on election day.

Comment by wodiej | 2008-10-09 18:22:16

definitely…I am helping homebound voters fill out their absentee ballots the week before and helping on Election day as well. Everyone can do something even if it is just dropping off some food or bottled water at campaign headquarters for volunteers. But please do something….and there is POWER IN PRAYER. I know there are some Democratic bus trips going on across Ohio and PA. Hop on one for the weekend or donate some money to help them w gas.

 
 
 

Comment by Liberty Belle not for Obama | 2008-10-09 17:43:52

CBS New with Katie Couric never mentioned the impassioned discussion about ACORN at the McCain-Palin rally, and quoted a NY Times article as saying Ayers and Obama “weren’t really close”. They called Ayers’ fundraiser at his home in the 1990’s a “political coffee”. Talk about minimizing news and facts for Obama’s sake, or media bias…

Of course, Katie has Jeff Greenberg commenting, so what else can we expect but in the tank for Barry.

Comment by Faye | 2008-10-09 17:48:02

I wonder if it’s too late to implement an accountability of one vote per person. Remember that blue finger from the first election in Iraq? Maybe something a simple as that. I haven’t heard anyone say anything about even the need for accountability of one vote per person from the MSM, wonder if they are in the ACORN nut bag too?

Comment by Kal | 2008-10-09 17:54:32

Too much early, absentee, mail-in, etc., voting going on all over the US these days for the blue thumb to work.

And don’t forget — the new electronic voting machines can easily be jigged, don’t leave paper trails, and who was it ended up buying the company that makes them?

 
 

Comment by SIGH | 2008-10-09 17:49:18

ACORN is Obama’s army. ACORN’s employees are Obama’s soldiers.

Obama gets earmark to fund ACORN to conduct voting fraud for Obama.

Wake up, America!!!

Comment by Sarracuda In So Cal | 2008-10-09 17:51:55

America isn’t gonna wake up, the kool Aid drinkers have already been fooled beyond belief. I am so scared of this guy becoming president, I don’t think I have ever been this scared in my whole life. We are gonna have Adolf Jr as President, and he will destroy this country and the media is all for it. They don’t care what this man is and his associations, they don’t care about his little hitler salutes that he does at rallys, this is beyond scary. If this gets bad I am leaving California, I am thinking about either moving to Alaska or to Israel, it will no longer be safe to be here in this country I love so much

Comment by Deep Truths | 2008-10-09 18:14:31

I wish you would move. There is nothing so pathethic as an individual who can see what’s going on but too self-absorbed to do anything about it. This country wasn’t founded by a bunch of wimps or Cassandra’s looking for a place to hide.

Comment by D Grace | 2008-10-09 18:47:32

Lou Dobbs on CNN was just on this story and he mentioned that Obama paid Acorn for voters registration. CNN investigating unit is working on the story and reported to Lou.

 
 

Comment by John Smith | 2008-10-09 17:52:19

The story on election day will be that there was a very low turnout for the democratic ticket. The fact that all the effort that Obama camp has put into voter turn out and only 28K voters voted in Ohio in a 5 day period speaks volumes about the support the democratic ticket has in Ohio. The polls can say what ever they want but if people don’t turn out it really makes no difference.

 

Comment by Deep Truths | 2008-10-09 17:53:39

Its about darn time, you betcha!

Twelve states! Sounds SERIOUS to me.

No money coming. How can the Dems put up a fight for ACORN? Especially since they have violated voter registration laws year after year? Then to add fuel to the fire, Dems try to sneak into the Bailout Package BILLIONS for ACORN which was the main reason Republicans did not vote for the bill the first go round.

Could/should a Congressional hearing be far behind? I say yes. And Barney Frank should call one for face saving reasons alone.

 

Comment by macaddict | 2008-10-09 18:00:14

OT a bit. In looking through the Google 2001 archive for Obama and ACORN, I came across this page: (NP = New Party = Socialist Party)

New Party Online News – Elections Update

Illinois: The first NP member heads to Congress, as Danny Davis wins an overwhelming 85% victory yesterday (he got a higher percentage of the vote in that district than the President). NP member and State Senate candidate Barack Obama won uncontested. Interestingly, it appears that the local Democratic machine is trying to distance itself from our folks. At a “Democratic Unity” march on Chicago’s West Side, a flyer invited community members to join with a host of local democratic candidates. The only two west-side Democrats not listed: NP members Danny Davis (U.S. House candidate) and Michael Chandler (Alderman and Ward Committeeman).

We have to watch that Fairness in Media Act. If Polosi wants it that makes me very afraid. Maybe someone can do an article on it.

I would be glad to do research for any of the writers here. I used to be an investigative reporter and I may not write well anymore but I can find things and lay them out for anyone to use.

 
 

Comment by lind | 2008-10-09 18:01:24

As Obama goes up in the polls the stock markets go down. Obama’s lead is not assuring investors that hope is on the way? Mabe because of the dems,ACORN,Freddy Mac and Fannie May who have helped in crashing the markets with their sub prime morgtage loans and are now the cause for millions of people loosing big chunks of their retirement savings. Socalism at it’s worst. But the dems are lying and pointing the fingers and blaming everyone else but themselves. What hypocrites. What a mess. cnn’s politicalticker would not post this comment? Is the comment of on person so menacing? go figure

Comment by Jules | 2008-10-09 18:54:35

cnn’s politicalticker would not post this comment

CNN wouldn’t post any of my comments either, and they were quite mild. If it questions Obama in any way it’s not going up.

People who think Obama is going to get away with bamboozling the electorate are pulling their money out of the market. This is Obama’s fault.
Look what his google stronghold wants to do with taxpayer money. This sounds like the MO of BHO. his finger printsa re all over this. The money would vanish if ver gotten. Not over site is on this. And what’s a Tech Company who’s bought off by BHO doing with wanting government money for experemental energy technology.

Google — the multi-billion dollar Internet giant — wants Congress to spend more than $4 trillion in U.S. taxpayer money on experimental alternative fuels.

You read that right.

Google apparently believes it is now America’s leading expert on energy!

Why is Google calling on the United States government to spend $4.4 trillion (that’s trillion with a “T”, six times as much as is being spent on the bailout) of our hard-earned tax dollars to subsidize renewable energy during these hard economic times?

If they have their way, much of that $4.4 trillion will go directly to subsidize their bottom line. This, with no guarantee that Google’s plan will help solve America’s energy crisis.

The goal of the Obama camp is to make voters think he will win in a landslide to keep McCain voters at home. Most states have some safeguards against voter fraud, such as requiring ID in Indiana (we used to have it in Ohio as well, Part of the fraud is being paid to register people who will never vote. Where does ACORN’s funding come from? If it’s taxpayer money, these people need to spend a good long time in jail.

Comment by Ana | 2008-10-09 18:19:03

I think that might backfire. I know I am working to get people to vote for McCain.

another great post UW,

they watch them like a hawk MY ASS…watch them to make sure they are meeting a quota is about it.

they damn well better be doing something before Nov. 4th like throw out every single absentee ballot and tell people they will have to send in new ones. NONE ACCEPTED FROM ACORN. This is absolute and total bullshit.

Comment by tzada | 2008-10-09 18:33:23

It was my pleasure to turn one or should I say 5 voters in to the elections office. Sometime back she had told me that she had 5 voter registration cards. Karma is a bitch and so am I. She won’t be using any of them now.

Never. The “liberal media” just gave us two terms of The Worst President In The History Of The World with bush and now they are trying to out do themselves by getting obama elected.

Comment by Ana | 2008-10-09 18:25:17

I agree that is what they are trying to do, it is up to us, to make sure that doesn’t happen. Make calls for mccain, get people to vote on election day for McCain, he is our only chance now.

 
 
 

Comment by Andrew | 2008-10-09 18:15:30

I’m leaving the country if Obama wins. I will not be party to this. I’m scared. My dad has become an Obot and he is even defending Obama buying thirty minutes of television time to broadcast his propaganda. He says it is response to the smears by McCain. He doesn’t think Ayers is a bad guy. “He’s just a professor.” I’m freaking out.

Comment by Ana | 2008-10-09 18:20:19

Well lets hope enough people see the truth about Obama, the last thing we need is Obama as president.

Don’t lose hope, just work hard for McCain.

Comment by Andrew | 2008-10-09 18:26:33

My teacher at school slipped up today when talking about political parties. She began saying “If we win…If Obama wins…” I was about to explode, but didn’t. Then a kid viciously attacked me for saying that Obama scared me. It is freaking crazy!!!

He doesn’t think Ayers is a bad guy. “He’s just a professor.” I’m freaking out.

Why don’t you print out some articles for him to read about Ayers and what he’s done. They’re all over the place. If he thinks bin Laden is a bad guy, he should think Ayers is too. They’re both terrorists.

 

Comment by ScottVA | 2008-10-09 19:27:04

I would think your father would be old enough to remember what Ayers did…. Does your father know he blew up stuff and killed / almost killed people? That’s not just “a professor” LOL If you’re father is that far gone for NoBama that he would defend him on the Ayers issue then I’m afraid he’s WAY FAR GONE! You should ask him what kind of father would let their kids be educated by that guy? LOL I question any parent who finds it OK that he educates their children….I’d not pay for any class for my kid to take being taught by him!

Obama claims living in Indonesia as a tot is Foreign Policy Experience, Palin says Governing a State with close border to Russia is–who gets Ridiculed?? (RCP)

Comment by JozefAL | 2008-10-09 19:48:32

What I’d like to ask the Obamedia is this: Why, if Obama’s claims to some type of vast personal foreign policy experience (due to his years growing up overseas), did Obama pick a man (who’s been in the Senate nearly as long as Obama has been alive) who is widely regarded as a major foreign policy wonk? Seriously, Biden’s selection was praised by the media for bringing “experience” to the ticket, yet the same media had already bought into the “Obama has enough experience” canard.

“ACORN’s Cleveland spokesman, Kris Harsh, said his group collected 100,000 voter-registration cards; only about 50 were questionable, he claimed.”

“A third subpoenaed voter, Freddie Johnson, 19, filled out registration cards 72 times over 18 months, officials said.”

Now is it just me or is there already rather glaring proof that the ACORN spokesman is a blatant liar! They need to start charging a few of these bastards and push for the maximum sentencing rather than saying naughty naughty as they have been. Send out undercover agents as homeless people to see if ACORN workers approach them to commit voter fraud.

Good point about the market going down as Bobo’s polls (supposedly) go up! I’ve heard commentators opine that the whole deal is going to crash if he’s elected! My husband mentioned that when the economy is bad, the party in office is always turned out. But I pointed out to him that no one ever branded a liberal has been elected Prez–at least in my 60+ lifetime. I suppose many called FDR that, but people weren’t as sensitive even when I was young as they are now to that appellation. And a lot of people now blame Pelosi, Reid, and Co. for the trouble, and the lefty Dems are being pilloried with the ACORN, Fannie, and Freddie messes. You can be sure that the Repubs are not going to take these crooked voter schemes lying down. They’re masters at making vague threats about arrests at the polling places, and, for once, I’m glad! Maybe people who registered umpteen times will be afraid to even show their faces! And, except in solidly pro-Obama precincts, the monitors will have eagle eyes trained on every vote!

 

Comment by Honora | 2008-10-09 18:31:27

I don’t get it Farrakhan is a muslim, why is he waiting for a messiah?? It thought that there was one god, named Allah and Mohammed is his prophet??

McCain/Palin ‘08 Country First

 

Comment by Ted Kennedy's Swim Coach | 2008-10-09 18:37:31

We need a laugh. A PUMA friend emailed this to me. It is a psychic that predicted in January that the winner of the 2008 election would have a woman as a running mate.

It is written in the stars.

Enjoy!

Comment by Hillary or Bust | 2008-10-09 18:41:27

TWO psychics have predicted the ticket with the woman VP winning – the other psychic’s name is Victoria something or other but she’s supposedly somewhat well-known.

Comment by fif | 2008-10-09 18:44:21

Well, who was that famous woman psychic who kept predicting Hillary taking the oath in a blue suit on inauguration day? I guess she could still be right…

2012!

Comment by Ted Kennedy's Swim Coach | 2008-10-09 18:52:37

This is the best part of what the psychic said:

My psychic sense tells me that not only will a woman become the nation’s first Vice President at the 2008 election, but she will be sworn in as president when the male president is forced to step down due to serious health issues or worse. I have also psychically stated that we will have a one-term president in 2008

Comment by Lindsy | 2008-10-09 18:53:38

One of them said that she backtracked the prediction for Palin. She envisioned a woman VP because she thought it would be Hillary. She said the Dems will win but it will be very close.

I hope she is wrong and Palin does win.

Maybe the Justice Department/Attorney General need a letter or two as well to get on top of this widespread voter fraud.

You know they could just dump all voter registration, have the absentee’s prove, their ID by legal identification required, having those going on election day show up with proper, legal ID, and hell have them roll their thumb in ink!

Thank you for covering ACORN on this blog so extensively. I have finally seen some traction in the story after Hannity radio show caught on by playing the Halperin interview of Joe Gibbs , then of course Fox news started to cover it and tonight Lou Dobbs is on the ball. I agree with Dobbs’ outrage- why isn’t there a Fed investigation now that there are fraud reports in 8 different states???

Obama campaign has given ACORN $800,000 to register ‘voters.’

 

Comment by Andrew | 2008-10-09 18:54:57

I believe 0% in psychics. Still, I hope they are right anyway. Pissing my pants now. Obama looks like he is going to get away with the scams. I can’t believe it. Why is this happening?

 

Comment by maq | 2008-10-09 18:55:06

I think it is time to bring the PURPLE THUMB to the USA. You vote, you roll your digit on the inkpad.

Then this can be compared with various existing databases for fraud. e.g. prior Felons or illegal immigrants etc.

Several months later expect a visit from the FBI or your local police with a warrant for your ARREST.

Comment by McKatmoon | 2008-10-09 19:07:11

I actually think it would work; and show that we although a great Democracy, can also have problems with our elections, and aren’t so smug we can’t step back and use a simple method, that prevents voter fraud. Probably would save tons of money as well.

One author of an Obama book said that Obama would trick millions into voting for him one week before the election.

I wonder if that is what his big prime time spot will be about on the 29th?

In Indiana they discovered that one and the same person send in 2100 registrations bearing the same signature.
BO funding Acorrn 80k to assist in their goal to get new voters.Proof right there how they stole Hillarys election and now attempting to do the same.

Did they say what county that was? remember the Gary Indiana incident on the primary. Everyone was waiting on them. I wonder if there is a connection here.

Yes, it was Gary Indiana

 

Comment by Elle | 2008-10-09 22:15:12

They did state that Acorn employees were fired there in Gary Indiana.Did not say however if the
firing related to the primaries only or now.
Seems sad how little seems to be done when such criminal conduct occurs.
Corruption and theft is the moving force of this election.

Hey everyone,
How do we know that ACORN payed the individuals to get the registrations. If ACORN was receiving federal money who is to say that they did not use that to prop up BOs campaign. All they would need to do is us the small non-trackable denominations and they could secretly fund him.
Did they keep a list of everyone they paid? Anyone have any thoughts on this one?

 

Comment by Lindsy | 2008-10-09 21:37:24

Comment by THIS IS SICK... | 2008-10-09 21:53:09

I truly dont care what Obama and His mafia will say about Palin. She is not radical, She didnt cost market collapse, and She did what she should do. Obama mafia will twist enything to make McCain capmain bad. I diont care anymore what CNN,MSNBS and ther lying and smearin TV and Radio station are saying. Time to get Obama true story. What Palin did, if She fired someone in Alaska, I dont care. She was the boss, and someone dint do their job it will be fire. Who knows maybe those two guys(ex brother in law and politician were Obama croonies,???
If this is what Obama will use tomorrow against Palin it will make mi laugh!!! It is nothing compare to Obama radical dirt ant coaching ACRON people how to steal votes, govong our money to this corruption geegs is the worse we can get. I will investigate this fired politician connections with Obama movement it looks like is connected!!! Why this guy came with this now, it is motivated and it is deeper!!!

 

Comment by THIS IS SICK... | 2008-10-09 21:59:42

focus on Obama wont go away. Obama is cooking, and He and His cronies planned this, I believe that this politician who was fired id on of Obamas dirty politician. I dont care what Obama has to say, this “magic” stop working now!!!

 
 

Comment by Lindsy | 2008-10-09 21:54:27

Todd Palin made a statement that he is not confident that the outcome will be good. Repubs in AK tried to stop the investigation saying it was turned Partisan after Sarah was named VP and the judge denied it.

If this comes out bad for Gov. Palin the press will destroy her. It will be a game changer….

 

Comment by THIS IS SICK... | 2008-10-09 22:01:11

no one will destry Her, She will be just fine, and stop this Obamas scare tactics!!!

 

Comment by Lindsy | 2008-10-09 22:12:23

Come on after everything you’ve seen in this election do you HONESTLY believe that the media is going to present Sarah’s side of the story?

NO! They are going to use this over the weekend to the maximum effect to get the focus off of Obama and his bad relationships. They will drag this story as long into next week as they can.

No matter what statements Sarah makes to the contrary.. the media will spin this for Obama. And it will continue to work like has all this long election cycle.

Comment by Hope is the last to die | 2008-10-10 03:09:48

I don’t think punishing ACORN is enough. People who take part in this should lose their right to vote for at least a few years. And if they keep repeating the crime they should lose for eternity.

And start checking those damn ID’s!

 

Comment by Joe McCarthy | 2008-10-11 10:16:53

I’ve got my father’s and brother’s voter registration cards still. I plan to cast 3 ballots for McCain/Palin this year to help balance out the fraud from ACORN.
