America…this was an attempt by the “Messiah of Islam” to steal our election!

The “Messiah of Islam” is deeply involved with this fraudelent organization. He provided them funding of our taxpayer monies when he was active in the Senate (for a brief period of time – than all the rest of his time was spent running for the Presidency)!

His socialist/communistic “new” Democrat cronies in Washington headed by the Speaker of the failed Democratic House – Marie Antoinette – Pelosi and Reid, Frank, Dodd and Schumer(among others) also tried to get them “more of taxpayer monies for this election” by putting this pork in the financial crisis bill just passed!

But, America, the Republicans under the leadership of President Elect McCain (when he left the campaign to go back to Washington) put a stop any monies going to ACORN!

However, America, they are still on the payroll from past legislation! Call your representatives, email your representatives, write your representatives…tell them to stop…stop today…stop sending them monies until the FBI probe is over!

This is the most important election in the history of our country. The outcome depends on whether or not our democracy continues as we know it.

The “Messiah of Islam” tried to buy this election. He tried to buy votes…he did buy votes. The ACORN posse, his alma mater, gave out money, cigarettes and whatever to people to sign up to vote. In the states where they could register and vote the same day…they told them to vote for the “Messiah of Islam”! America, this candidate is in bed with this fraudelent organization.

Call, write, email…stop the funding! Stop it now!

In addition, join with me in voting for the only “all American” candidate for President Elect McCain! He is in bed with the American people!

VOTER REVOLUTION HERE IN NOW!

It would be classic to see obama in chains, for his involvement with ACORN. Stripped jumpsuit and shackles , leg irons. “That is not the organization I knew”.Roomate Rezko, Wright gets the last laugh along with Jackson at the $10 million dollar compound that Trinity provided for the mentor. That , would be JUSTICE.

Why does Obama think that is so funny that ACORN has been caught red handed perpetuating voter registration fraud which leads to fraudulent absentee votes easy fake votes when they don’t ask for picture id.

BHO was real nervous and doe eyed when he weaseled his lame response regarding ACORN. Guilty and hiding proof it seems.

Obama:”Had nothing with us, we were not involved”

REALLY!! 860,000 dollars are calling you a liar.

===== BAN ACORD =====
Every city needs to BAN Acord until the criminal elements are purged, or, better yet, completely disband Acorn.

Obama voter organization is a mess.

Its time for this groups funding to be cut off!

In Fact, Obama should pay he State of Ohio for the cost of fixing the 200000 bad voter cards.

Obama must have cost Ohio over $1 million dollars in legal cost. I D I O T

don’t be so sure the FBI isn’t in on this for a show. There are liberals all over this beaucracy. I wouldn’t be surprised if they come up with no evidence. Those lying thieving criminals.

BARACK HUSSIEN OBAMA IS NOT READY TO BE COMMANDER AND CHIEF NO WAY …NO HOW

Chris is sooo right. If the Repubs were serious they would have JAILED voter fraud perpetuators for the last eight years. They did lock up three border agents though.

“…the only involvement I’ve had with Acorn…”

Yeah right, see this video for the truth (at about the 1:20 point):

The entire “voter fraud” notion is a bunch of trumped up @#%$ designed for ONE THING and ONE THING ONLY: VOTER SUPPRESSION.

In places like Ohio and Florida, the subversive agents of the RNC will be defrauding Americans of their democratic rights, and it will be conducted all withing the giant smokescreen of this b.s. supposed “voter fraud”. It happened in 2000, it happened in 2004.

Bill Chicago   October 16th, 2008 - 10:37 pm

Sure Yeah..It’s all a vast Right-Wing conspiracy.
I live it the Vatican of Vote Fraud,and I’ve seen it work, up close and personal.
The next step is to take your phony names and get absentee ballots, usually about one third to half. On election day it’s pick people up and drive them to various precincts and give them an envelope with five bucks and a name and address written on it. You can go from precinct to precinct all day long.

Vote fraud is a proven tactic of the Democratic Party, from Chicago to Cleveland to Philadelphia. Now with ACORN, they can successfully spread this to everywhere they can find willing participants.

And one other thing. Give up this lame argument about Florida and Ohio. Do you seriously think if their was ANY evidence of vote fraud on the part of the Republicans, the media would ignore it?

Get your apartment checked for gas leaks.

If the FBI “finds nothing wrong”, it will be clear the inside libs won.

Swing Voter   October 16th, 2008 - 11:04 pm

So THAT’S what “community organizers” do!

I don’t see how an investigation at this late date will prevent these brazen criminals from swaying election results in key states. They’ve had months to set this up.

After watching that video of Barack at the Acorn meeting, I may have to change my mind. I never realized he was that involved with them. I guess he has been lying. May have to change my vote.

Barry’s Oct Shock

Oh Really!   October 17th, 2008 - 2:30 am

This is what Obama said to ACORN, at a November, 2007 speech, according to Newsmax:

“I’ve been fighting alongside ACORN on issues you care about my entire career. Even before I was an elected official, when I ran Project Vote voter registration drive in Illinois, ACORN was smack dab in the middle of it, and we appreciate your work.”

I have been a devoted supporter of Barack Obama since I saw him speak at the 2004 Democratic Convention, for which I was a delegate, but I am very disappointed by the campaign’s response thus far. If Barack does not strongly denounce some of the tactics of ACORN, and call for an IMMEDIATE investigation, I fear that voters (many of whom are already angry at all politicians) will lose faith in Barack. Given that such faith in Senator Obama is crucial to his “brand,” this could represent a serious threat to our campaign. I must confess that this episode represents the first time my faith in Barack has been tested. Such faith of Americans in Barack is not only crucial to the campaign, but also in any hopes we have for his successful presidency.

Sincerely,
Mark Peterson

His ties to the pastor who said those awful things about America, his connection to a terrorist who bombed the Pentagon, now Acorn is registering people to vote who don’t exist. Does this sound like a president to you? I’m really worried about America’s future.

Voter suppression is a PROVEN TACTIC of the right and the media did not totally ignore it in 2000 and 2004. there are MOVIES about this. There is the Ex-CEO of Diebold.

and its NO conspiracy because the right is not even trying to be secretive about it OTHER than to use this whole “voter fraud” hogwash as a feint!

yeah right   October 17th, 2008 - 12:39 pm

Democrats, Republicans and Independents – if you CARE about democracy then be aware that VOTER SUPPRESSION IS REAL!

In Florida during the 2000 presidential election, some non-felons were banned due to record-keeping errors and not warned of their disqualification before they no longer had the right to contest it.

This form of vote suppression disproportionately affects minorities including African-Americans and Latinos!

In the U.S. presidential election of 2004, some voters got phone calls with false information intended to keep them from voting–saying that their voting place had been changed or that voting would take place on Wednesday as well as on Tuesday.

Other allegations surfaced in several states that the group called Voters Outreach of America had collected and submitted Republican voter registration forms while inappropriately disposing of Democratic registration forms.

Michigan Republican state legislator John Pappageorge was quoted as saying, “If we do not suppress the Detroit vote, we’re going to have a tough time in this election.”

On October 5, 2008 the Republican Lt. Governor of Montana, John Bohlinger, accused the Montana Republican Party of vote caging to purge 6,000 voters from three counties which trend Democratic. These purges included decorated war veterans and active duty soldiers.

A review of states’ records by The New York Times found unlawful actions leading to widespread voter purges.

A dispute between the Social Security Administration commissioner and the National Association of Secretaries of State about the use of the Social Security database to test the validity of voters led to the shutdown of the database over the Columbus Day holiday weekend.
