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

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.

As a matter of fact there was non-organized voter fraud in the 2000 election. About 3000 voters voted absentee in New York (their primary residence) AND, in Florida (their winter residence) because they are registered in both places.

I don't know how many voted which way. But, they found they could support their pick twice; thus, voter fraud. Committed by individuals because the systems in both places were broken.

The ACORN voter frauds are obviously not stories manufactured by the Republicans. The Nevada fraud complaint to the FBI was filed by a Democrat Secretary of State. I have not seen any evidence that there is a tie to Sen. O'Bama in this.

But, repeated discovery of his past ties to many less than reputible organizations and anti-american persons do cause an alarm signal in my mind. If I were doing a background investigation (and I have done a few) for a position of trust in government or law enforcement; based upon his long affilliation and personal ties to these organizations and people, I would reject him for employment.

I am one of millions that are currently doing just that. We are evaluating who we think should be hired as President. So far I have not had these disturbing points resolved nor has he indicated his beliefs in their philosophy had been rejected. Stating there is a change in his personal core philosophy has occurred only when it becam a prominent political issue and does not resound with appropriate sincerity. When these are combined with the changes in his policy rhetoric due to political whims of the people, it smacks with an insencerity in all facets of his character. Additionally, the philosophies of his past associations tend toword anti-americanism. His curent statements show that past influence still exists. And, the political outcry over the flag pin caused a reaction but the verbal comments have caused no political outcry, thereby, no change in philosophy.

I have applied the same to Sen. McCain; and have found very little to concern me about his sinceity and loyalty. And, it's apparent the media has found little as well or we would have heard it by now.

I have other considerations that I won't discuss here. Suffice it to say my final decision will be made when I file my ballot.

My voter registration is Independent.

That's right, Shlesinger, don't let the facts get in the way of your world view. As the evidence mounts against Acorn regarding voter fraud you sit there and blame the Republicans. You're a real piece of work. Your kind has done nothing for this country but instill a sense of hate towards Republicans. "They stole the election!" Give me a break. They didn't, but you and your kind continue to spew the same crap over and over making the weak minded liberals who blindly follow believe every idiotic word you say. Thne the idea that you "saviors" are going to elect this terrorist loving, know-nothing Obama and somehow "heal" the country is laughable. He's as left leaning as any panzy liberal on the planet. His love of terrorists and hate of this country is clear to anyone who can see past the liberal rhetoric. I don't like either party - I thin they're killing htis country. But to blame Republicans for voter fraud, while maintaning your own insanity over "stolen elections" is the bottom rung of idiocy.

Mayor Daley of Chicago was a Republican wasn't he? Oh ... that's right ... Vote Early ... Vote Often ... wonder how Kennedy won Illinois vs Nixon ... and wasn't his son in charge of the GOP in Florida when all those missing ballot boxes showed up stuffed with Bush ballots .... oh ... sorry ... wrong party again ...

In the history of Voter Fraud ... the talley is something like 100 : 1 comparing DFL to GOP.

Same story ever election!

ACORN is at it again..now more and more states are claiming

voter registration fraud perpetuated by those at ACORN.

Ohio, Nevada, Florida, Missouri just to name a few.

There are formal FBI investigation into

ACORN's practices. Just the other day in Nevada, ACORN offices

were raided and registration forms were found to contain

the names of the starting lineup of the Dallas Cowboys!..

also found on one of the registers was a 13 year old boy.

And ACORN tries to explain them away as clerical errors???

REMEMBER, vater fraud is a serious offense and these people are fellons!

Obama's ACORN organization, that

he advocated and made a contribution of over $800,000

to earlier this year, is attempting to stuff the voter

registration rolls with fictitious names, names of deceased people, illegal immigrants and underaged persons in order to help him win.

This is NOT a Republican ploy..It has become a standard among Democrats since 2000 to make accusations of voter fraud. This time it appears it is really happening and the Democratic leaning ACORN is behind it.

Everyone who has registered through ACORN should be told that unless they go to their legitimate local voter registration facility along with their ID, Driver's License or Birth Certificate they will not be allowed to vote.

What if investigators find the volunteers that turned in the fraudulant registration forms turn out to be GOP party members trying to disrupt the Democratic campaign?

In thinking about it.. of NH 3:45PM October 13, 2008

Before vote fraud is alleged, we should all take a deep breath, and acknowledge some things that we, as Americans, should be able to agree on.

First, candidates of major parties are legitimate and should be viewed as legitimate office holders if elected. Second, voter registration promotes democracy when qualified voters are registered. Third, vote fraud has to be proven AFTER it takes place; ranting about vote fraud before an election is obviously for partisan advantage. Last, the results of an election must be accepted; claims of vote fraud should be considered, evaluated, and the evaluations must be accepted.

Let's all be patriots after this election and work on pulling America out of the ditch we are in.

James of NC 11:35AM October 13, 2008

Voter fraud is when a major party nominates a radical who is friends with unrepentant terrorists who are both involved in 'alternative education' for our kids and the media in every major outlet has to constantly cover for this character to hide the truth from the American public. Obama is the worng man to lead this country... his judgment is ridiculously poor.

Voter fraud is a voter who casts a ballot for this dangerous radical fraud. A vote for Obama defies common sense.
