Obama and the Republican Machine's Voter Fraud Hoax
I read with interest Bonnie's post about Obama, ACORN, and allegations of voter fraud. While I don't claim expertise on ACORN specifically, I am always leery when I hear GOP claims of voter fraud because, as Josh Marshall has noted previously, they're mostly nonsense.
Marshall writes today: "The Republican party is grasping on to the ACORN story as a way to delegitimize what now looks like the probable outcome of the November election. It is also a way to stoke the paranoia of their base, lay the groundwork for legal challenges of close outcomes in various states and promote new legal restrictions on legitimate voting by lower income voters and minorities. The big picture is that these claims of 'voter fraud' are themselves a fraud, a tool to aid in suppressing Democratic voter turnout."
He goes into more detail—his entire post is worth a read.

Since bush went into office we've been threaten by terroist the world trade center crumbled to the ground and your telling me that Bush and Bush administrators had no knowledge of what was to take place !!!!!

Voter Suppression
I need the correct spelling of the name of the Republican strategist who stood before a church congregration and declared...in words, more or less to the effect:
"We don't want a large voter turnout. Elections have never been decided by the mmmm blah blah blah "
Thanks,
Thomas

republican voter fraud
Republicans should know a thing or two about vote fraud, since they won the White House in 2000 and 2004 by cheating at the polls...Bush was never President.
