Being Squirrelly About ACORN

OMG. Any connection to those yard signs in Oregon? Those T-shirts in Philly? Or just the usual heaping of trivia? Pardon me while I chow down on some Moose for lunch.

You forgot to add the video of Barack telling Acorn he would let them shape his administration

The problem with ACORN is the commission. Majority of ACORN employees are paid by commission and therefore you have employees forging names. It’s not voter fraud unless these “voters” voted.
My view is, Republicans don’t want to face the facts. Thy would rather talk about ACORN, Ayers etc rather then the economy.
Well….. look at the polls.
I rest my case.

Obama’s involvement with ACORN, and their corruption, runs deep. Not only was he the trainer of their thug tactics, but also he funnelled hundreds of thousands of taxpayer’s dollars their way. ACORN forced banks via thug tactics and calls of racism (sound familiar?) to give loans to people who had no business taking out loans. This led to our downfall in the mortgage crisis. If you want to look to see who is responsible for our econony, look no further than BH Obama.
he has the nerve to blame Bush for this, when he was actively involved in the problems to begin with .
What a corrupt liar and piece of trash, this Obama. How can you possibly support this criminal?

What is Obama trying to hide with his deliberate deceptions?
How many dozens of times has Obama now been forced to change his stories on Rev. Wright, Bill Ayers and ACORN?
Obama has never been forthright about his deep connections to these people and organizations, but instead has deliberately flat out lied and tried to deceive Americans with obfuscations.
Obama’s answers to important questions resemble the clever lies that teenagers make up to conceal their activities.
The question now is, can anyone trust one word that comes out of Obama’s mouth?
And Obama has answered that question. A resounding NO!

Who is Barack Obama?
He’s the next President of the United States.
That’s who.
And he’s going to be much better than the last one.

My view is, Republicans don’t want to face the facts. Thy would rather talk about ACORN, Ayers etc rather then the economy.

As long as it is in favor of His Nothingness, who cares fraud, lies, buying votes, bad judgments, deceptions. You are blind – what do you see.

Why are people not talking about how much this voter fraud played in the primaries. Does anyone remember how close things were between Obama and Hillary? Obama cheated and won, twice.

“Voter registration fraud happens every year, it does not mean there is actual voter fraud or that this is anything resembling the massive disenfranchisement carried about the Republicans every election.”
It is true that registration fraud doesn’t necessarily translate to massive voter fraud, but I think we can all agree that the massive amounts of additional resources that is required to weed out all of these fradulent registrations is the last thing we need with a sagging economy and shrinking government budgets.

Jill…
I read that article by Mark Hyman of the Sinclair Group.
I also remember Sinclair’s Swiftboat attacks from 2004.
When someone has a record for pushing an agenda and playing fast and loose with the facts… it is a good reason to read their “report” with skepticism. It isn’t the first time that Sinclair’s “journalists” have lied about a candidate in the days leading up to an election.

The stink of desperation is strong on the Palin/McCain ticket, it’s getting close to a rout. I’m glad we’re only 3 weeks away from being done forever with McCain, Palin, Schwartz and the rest of these neocon tools.

McCain worked with ACORN too. What’s the big deal?

You find this unique?
Obama has been trying to offiscate his background and alliances since he began his political office.
The Rev. Wright dismissed Obama as being “just a politician” saying what “he needs to say.”

If conservatives truly beleive Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae are responsible for the economic crisis, they should demand that McCain campaign manager Rick Davis return the $2 milliuon he was paid by Freddie Mac and its front groups for apparently no work.

Carrie
the bottom line is Obama is in with ACORN at the grassroots level and his campaign gave them $800,00 to beat hillary in the primaries thats diry pool and like George W Bush.. I do not want another president like Bush and Mccain isnt Bush

geevil
Jesse Jackson Jr is on the take like a lot of other Chicago polticians…at least his father has integrity and actually worked for civil rights

“C’mon Jake, show all the good people the video clip of the big O telling the plumber he is going to spread the wealth around.”
Yeah, but that plumber is one of the “evil rich” with all of the golden parachutes and such.

Did Obama chose Biden over Hillary because Vera Baker’s partner is on Biden’s staff? Was it to keep Ms. Wambu quiet? I heard Daley’s people are paying for Baker to live in Carribean (just like Edward’s mistress).

You would better serve your readers, as would Obama on his web page, to explain the truth. ACORN is required to submit all registrations they receive. They bundle them in two bundles that go to the state. One bundle has the registrations they believe are not valid. It is the state not ACORN that makes that determination.
People who work for ACORN are paid by registration so some bad apples make them up. MADE UP REGISTRATIONS DON’T VOTE. By definition they are not real people. The only one that is scammed is ACORN that has to pay for this.
Please investigate and tell your readers the truth. Right now FOX is claiming the false registrations will invalidate the election. Made up people can’t vote. You still have to show up with that name and a picture ID, usually a drivers license. Made up people do not have these things.

Like I said… crazy white supremacists… Paranoid about Obama because his dad was black.

I GUESS ACORN IS DOING WHAT OBAMA TAUGHT THEM IN THOSE TRAINING SESSIONS..
OBAMA IS MR CORRUPTION..
FIND ANYTHING CORRUPT OR UNAMERICAN, OBAMA IS RIGHT BEHIND IT..
THEN OBAMA WOULD PREACH AND ATTACK EVERYBODY WHO QUESTIONS HIM AS RACIST..

is quoting Westbrook Pegler in a nomination acceptance a BAD thing?
probably not if you are an ignorant demagogue who is closely affiliated with a radical secessionist mob and an “army” of fascist “prayer warriors.”

ACORN TIES TO OBAMA MUST BE INVESTIGATED.

“My friends, we’ve got them just where we want them.”
NOT!!! McCain is a loser.

What is the big deal at the end of the day if you registar under the name mickie mouse you better have A VALID ID That says you Mickie Mouse FIRST TIME VOTERS HAVE TO PRODUCE VALID ID i know I am a first time voter in PA and i did not registar with Acorn but with my county court and the letter says FIRST TIME VOTERS NEED VALID ID THAT MATCHES YOU REGISTRATION FORM OR YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO VOTE WHAT IS THE PROBLEM?

Who is Barack Obama? Who knows? It seems as if he lies all the time and the msm gives him a free pass.

“Better make sure your plumbing is ok. It will cost twice as much to get a plumber since his rates will double to pay for Obama’s tax increases.”
Obama is elected and raises taxes on the owner of the plumbing business. In turn, plumbing business owner has to lay of employees. Very simple. Barry has less tax revenue to help pay for his ultimate solution, needs to raise taxes on the middle-class that still have jobs.

McCain = ACORN. I knew it!

Oh Obama has that experience as a Community Organizer. WOW

staniam,
What are you rambing about “my friend”?

The Republicans are pushing the ACORN story hard to cover up their purging of voter rolls of legitimate voters in numerous states. The GOP used this ploy against JFK in 1960. It is not voter fraud until someone actually votes. So, when Mickey Mouse presents his ID and casts his ballot, that will be voter fraud.

“…we must have a president clear of any special interest ties” Posted by: staniam
Are you suggesting that McCain has no special interest ties? Really? Now that’s a knee-slapper!

Who is Vera Baker and why is she important?

Bertha Lewis, Acorn’s chief organizer, said in a statement that came with the photo, “It has deeply saddened us to see Senator McCain abandon his historic support for ACORN and our efforts to support the goals of low-income Americans.”
”We are sure that the extremists he is trying to get into a froth will be even more excited to learn that John McCain stood shoulder to shoulder with ACORN, at an ACORN co-sponsored event, to promote immigration reform,” she said.

“connection, association, ties, bla blah is all the republicans can come up with..’
Character is way over-rated.

you know, while everyone is getting tired of the ‘smears’ on Obama, what about all the ‘smears’ on Palin and McCain? The media seems to like poking and making fun when it suits them, but when it starts to hit home(Obama) they start whining.

Mack–I thought MLK was looking foward to the day a man would be judged by the content of his character?

Here is all we need to know about what the Republicans have to say about the rest of this race:
National Journal conducted an “insiders poll” of Republicans and Democrats to get a sort of party elite opinion on where the race stands.
Not surprisingly, of the Democrats surveyed, 93% think Obama has a high chance of winning.
But on the Republican end there is clear pessimism: 80% think Obama has a high chance of winning, with 20% giving him a moderate chance. Zero gave him a low chance.

The distinction between Obama and McCain would be that John McCain didn’t pay ACORN or any of its front companies 832K in 2008 to run Voter Registration Drives on his behalf. Obama did and he filed misleading reports with the Election Committee. This is another instance where Obama lies, the press condones it and then Obama attacks and cries foul. Just like Ayers, Wright, etc.

Obama has managed to stay above the fray. I knew this October was going to be bad… and I was worried that Obama would lose unless he stooped to McCain’s level. But, evidently, he hasn’t stooped much.
Voters really have gotten a lot smarter.
It will be great to have someone like that in the White House.

… “Fight the Smears” webpage that “Barack was never an ACORN trainer and never worked for ACORN in any other capacity.”
That wasn’t true.
====
He will say, and do anything to deceive you to get your vote.

“how does anyone suppose Barack Obama will handle the economy better. He literally did NOTHING when this last economic crisis struck.”
He did nothing in Chicago either.
Posted by: Mack | Oct 13, 2008 3:09:25 PM
-=-=-
Mack, that is not true. As a matter of fact, the people with whom Barack Obama worked to change Chicago into what it is today are Ayers, Wright, Rezko, and ACORN. Now he wants to change America.
Sen. Obama can defend those people, he can even apologize for having ever advanced their agenda, but to deny that he ever served their cause is dishonest, and to hide behind the economy by calling everything else a “smear” and “distractions” is cowardly.

“Mack–I thought MLK was looking foward to the day a man would be judged by the content of his character?”
It appears that you can buy yourself some character with loads of cash.

McCain has different advocacy groups working on his behalf.
He would be dumb to pay ACORN to register voters… because with his highly racialized campaign… no minorities or poor people would vote for him.
McCain uses the right wing churches, think-tanks, and voter-disnefranchisement techniques to secure a majority vote.
It’s disingenuous to get all riled up about ACORN.
It’s well known that a high urban turnout benefits democrats… and a supressed uban turnout benefits republicans.

kevin, kevin, kevin,
don’t you see, they will continue to pull for everything, because they don’t know what to do about he economy,and any other issues that are of concern to the american people.
before this is over they will put it together that obama announced his bid for president in the land of lincoln.
oh lincoln, lincoln, obama must have had something to do with the murder of lincoln.
keep it up people, this guilt by association stuff-right until obama is associated with the west wing of the white house.

Don’t you remember the Community Reivestent Act that Deepak Bhargava lobbied President Clinton to strengthen and when he did it opened the door for ACORN to agitate, demonstrate and sue banks that failed to make these sub-prime loans. That’s why FM and FM bought the bundled loans from banks,guaranteeing these bad loans which opened the door for more bad loans. Where have you been the last three months. Don’t you remember FMand FM lobbied the Congressional Banking committee, B. Frank and Dodd along with Schumer and Obama paying them for their support not to regulate or to enforce regulations after Sec.Snow and Sec. Greenspan warned they were getting in over their head and their was no collateral on the loans. I guess you don’t know President Clinton warned about this practice and was ignored, in 2005 Sen. McCain and others warned and presented a bill to fix it but Democrats didn’t let it get out of committee. You Obama supporters are blind or have short memories or both.

While we’re at it, why is there no mention from the media of Lewis Farrakhan calling Obama “The Messiah”?

The point of the below quote is to remind PEOPLE that one should not vote for an individual based on race along, this card goes for those whom fell compelled to vote for Obama simply because he is black, which of course we are forgetting the he is 1/2 black and 1/2 white—i say this because months ago Obama decided to bring the race card into this election and it has spiraled from there.
Please look at the characters of each candidate and when you come to the conclusion that ones character is flawed because he was associated with the Keating scandal or when one is associated with the below equation, CHARACTER means a lot when you are trusting someone with not only our life, but those of your family—-
Ayers + Rev. Wright + (Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac) + ACORN + Giving $800,000 to ACORN for what appears to commit fraud + Farrakhan + Rezko + Raines + Khali Al-Mansour + Communist Frank Marshall Davis + Rashi Khalidi + Refusal to show full length vault copy of Birth Certificate + Refusal to prove he is no longer an Indonesian Citizen + Refusal to show college transcripts to prove he actually graduate from college denoting his grades + Refusal to show thesis (which is something America will not appreciate from what I hear) =
= Corruption, deceitful, and liar with obvious criminality ties and/or behaviors.
*May I remind my black brothers and sisters* of the words of the
honorable Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. — words I heard as a child of
that era that helped form the person I am today, with hopes and dreams
of equality for all:
“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a
nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by
the content of their character.”
I say to you and to citizens of all races in our wonderful country,
please do not take the enormous step backwards to vote for someone
because of their race. We must open our minds and welcome full and
thorough vetting of our candidates, especially of their character.
Otherwise, you dishonor the life of Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.

‘why is there no mention from the media of Lewis Farrakhan calling Obama “The Messiah”?’
maybe because it’s so lame and stupid nobody gives it any credit at all……

First it was convicted political fixer Antoin “Tony” Rezko;
then it was Nadhmi Auchi;
then it was William Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn;
then it was Rashid Khalidi;
then it was Rev. Wright, Rev. Meeks, Rev. Otis, Father Pfleger and the TUCC;
then it was Louis Farrakhan;
then it was the New Black Panthers;
then it was Aiham Alsammarae;
then it was Jodie Evans;
then it was Hamas;
then it was Hugo Chavez; then it was Fidel Castro;
then it was Muammar al-Gaddafi;
then it was North Korea’s Kim Jong-Il;
then it was the Communist Party USA;
then is was Acorn;
then it was ___; and then it was ___.
How much more do we have to hear
Just say NO Obama … EVER.

Mack…..seriously???? LOL…..are you that blind or just don’t care?….Please look at Obama’s associations alone, not even looking at the fact that he has ZERO experience because 172 days as a senator really honestly does not add up to much….
Ayers + Rev. Wright + (Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac) + ACORN + Giving $800,000 to ACORN for what appears to commit fraud + Farrakhan + Rezko + Raines + Khali Al-Mansour + Communist Frank Marshall Davis + Rashi Khalidi + Refusal to show full length vault copy of Birth Certificate + Refusal to prove he is no longer an Indonesian Citizen + Refusal to show college transcripts to prove he actually graduate from college denoting his grades + Refusal to show thesis (which is something America will not appreciate from what I hear) =
I will let you fill in the blank as to what that equals…I trust I will not get some childish name calling flippant response from you….

Paige, you are certainly misguided by whom ever you are quoting there, ACORN does not check the validity of the registrations, that my friend in a load of BS. Our local news showed the registrations turned in around here. I suppose ACORN was to stupid to not recognize the same persons name dozens of times among other infractions. They check the info, now that is funny right there…our election officials will tell you differently.

“Giving $800,000 to ACORN for what appears to commit fraud”
———————–
When you print things that are 100% inaccurate, your entire post becomes nothing but drivel and meaningless ranting.
Obama NEVER gave money to ACORN
(But don’t let facts get in your way ok?)

ACORN does not check the validity of the registrations, that my friend in a load of BS. Our local news showed the registrations turned in around here. I suppose ACORN was to stupid to not recognize the same persons name dozens of times among other infractio”
samihiguchi,
Because Republicans have been caught throwing away voter registrations for Democrats, states require ALL voter registration forms be turned in regardless of their validity.

Obama has hired an attorney to dismiss a motion of deceit by Attorney Berg. Obama has been asked to submit his birth certificate to prove he was born here and he cannot. The one he submitted was fake. Berg is pushing for the court to stop Obama.

NO THANK YOU OBAMA/BIDEN, I’VE READ OBAMA’S BOOKS.
Think you know who this man is? This possible President of the United States !! Read Below and ask yourselves, is this REALLY someone we can see as the President of our great nation!!!!
Below are a few lines from Obama’s books; In his words!
>From Dreams of My Father: ‘I ceased to advertise my mother’s race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites.’
‘I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother’s race.’ From Dreams of My Father: ‘There was something about him that made me wary, a little too sure of himself, maybe. And white.’
‘It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names.’
‘I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn’t speak to my own. It was into my father’s image, the black man, son of Africa , that I’d packed all the attributes I sought in myself , the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela.’
And FINALLY the Most Damming one of ALL of them!!!
From Audacity of Hope: ‘I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.’
DOESN’T TAKE A HAMMER ON THE HEAD TO SHOW ME WHAT OBAMA’S ABOUT!

This stuff just keeps dripping out little by little and it gives enough doubt in undecideds minds not to take the risk of an Obama in the White House.
Thank God John McCain will be our president. As they say, we dodged a big one.

Ben Smith at Politico is sitting on an Obama story that could hurt him. The media knows it and we’ll see how long they hold out till one of them finally reveals it and gets the “scoop” credit.
This is going to be an exciting three weeks!

I use to worry about Obama winning, but I don’t anymore. There is just too much out there. And half of the “help” is coming from the Hillary camp.
I never thought I’d say this but “Thank you Hillary Clinton!”
:)

Actually, there has never been so much damage information on anyone runnig before. Its only a matter of time when Obama is either indicted or impeached. He needs to take his socialism to Africa where his family is buring down churches and wreaking havoc on the country.

Ryan C,
No the lesson here is, although they’re always up in the polls, the GOP always wins.
Nice try though.
I can smell your fear! It smells good.
:)

cardinal:
The story goes that Vera Baker was Obama’s “ghost” finance director during his 2004 U.S. Senate campaign.
Apparently Baker and Obama developed a “personal friendship” during the campaign, and Michelle Obama became outraged. Shortly after, Baker was transferred to New York.
The story further reads that Baker is now under the “employ” of some Chicago political hack, and has conveniently been “working” this job from the island of Martinique, far away from the American political scene.
Of course, the National Enquirer will probably scoop the MSM on this one as well.

This is the problem with thrusting a person out of virtual obscurity into this position. He has had such a short public and political career that there are too many unknowns, not to mention the lack of experience factor. More and more is coming out, and the guy is just plain scary. It’s just too murky. And he denies it all, or plays with words to make it ‘technically’ correct so as to mislead.

Actually I think the Obama girlfriend story is just a “plant” by Axelrod to detract from the real scandal coming that Ayers babysat Obama’s kids. Thus proving he was more than just a “guy from the neighborhood.”
The Obama-Ayers big connection (with proof) is the one to watch. I think it’s coming out they were pals back in Obama’s Columbia days.

Nat Turner,
If you were so convinced you wouldn’t need 6 paragraph posts to prove it.
Fact is you’re worried.
Again: watch for the Obama-Ayers HUGE connection to break soon!
Somebody is going to get the scoop and get it BIG. They’re all just sitting around deciding who will be the brave one.

Tom.T….the mob mentality will be front and center when Obama loses and there are threatened riots.
McCain supporters are sick of the lib media who have handed this thing to BO since beginning.
Polls mean nothing until 11/4.

I am almost 70 years old and have voted in every presidential election held since I registered to vote. This is the scariest election that I feel the American people will ever face. I am a Registered Republican but I have always voted my concience and I hope Registered Democrats will vote theirs and feel they can justifiably cross party lines.

The rally will feature Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) as the headline speaker along with elected officials, immigrants and key local and national leaders. Sen. McCain is one of the chief sponsors of the Secure America and Orderly Immigration Act; bipartisan, comprehensive immigration reform legislation introduced last Congress and scheduled for consideration by the Senate in the coming weeks. A similar rally with Sen. McCain is planned for New York City on February 27 [...]
-> The rally in Miami is being sponsored by the New American Opportunity campaign (NAOC) in partnership with………… ACORN

Sandi, amen.
My grandmother, a lifelong democrat is NOT voting for Obama. This guy scares people to death.
And don’t forget the Bradley Effect which probably accounts for at least 15% of the polls showing Obama ahead.

LOL look at the right wingers cling to Ayers.
Even the McCain campaign has decided that tact is a loser after pushing it for a week and seeing Obama’s lead double. They have dropped Ayers from their speeches.
But hey the right wing media has ads to sell(tough economy hits us all) and they have a willing and gullible audience.

Russia just fired a long range ballistic missile in their war games and are modernizing their military. If they start trouble with us and Obama is president they will wipe up the floor with us before he gets off the pot.
—————
Since I’m certain that’s BS, I’ll take my chances
McCain and Palin would rather start WWIII. Palin already said that basically.
Of course, she thinks the dinasours were Jesus Ponies.

lEMMING ……… lol thats funny. Talk about one who believes in everything on the internet. Did you know that FACTCHECK leans to the left. Most of their info is biased and untrue.
do more research

Does Obama not realize you can “cache” pages on an internet site? So we can go back and compare what he had before, to what he has now?
LOL. What a fool.

Obama actually claims that 95% of *taxpayers* will get a tax cut.
Obviously those who do not pay taxes will not get a cut. You can’t cut 0.

Bet Abe Lincoln also attended the rally sponsored by ACORN. Such drivel and lies just to support the very corrupt Obama. Attending one meeting or rally does not mean you support the cause.

Anyone can promise anything when they’re running. That means nothing. Thats why its important to judge on a person’s character before he gets into office and takes the whole country down with him.

I LOVE IT.
FINALLY the democrats are going to STEAL an election
This is soooo exciting. So exhilarating to see Democrats whacking the Republicans in the fellas with a low blow.
What’s hilarious is looking at the expression on the Repuginicans faces being beat at their own game
hahahahah
OBAMA OBAMA OBAMA OBAMA

Even the McCain campaign has decided that tact is a loser after pushing it for a week and seeing Obama’s lead double. They have dropped Ayers from their speeches.
——–
Careful about that, they haven’t really. They are now using the words “enemy” and “terrorist” to make the same implications. Just not as directly.
They’ve got their story out and are still running the Ayres commercial daily.
These two remind me of Sen McCarty. But now instead of his opponents being “communists”, he’s a “terrorist”
We look back on McCarthy as a pathetic segment in American politics. Funny how history repeats itself.

I’m worried and can’t sleep at night.
I think Obama is going to throw it all away. Why would he ever have allowed himself to be friends with a guy knowing he might want to run for president? What a moron. Can’t believe I supported him.

I am a Hillary Supporter. Unfortunately I would never vote for barack obama. I have lived through many elections and have never seen anyone as scarry as this person.
vote the McCain/Palin ticket. vote to save our country

Where are the Swiftboat people when you need them. Actually, McCain should have been elected in 2000. Had it not been for the lying bush and rove, he would have.
Obama is about to win big…

After submitting a photo of McCain attending an ACORN meeting to the media today:
Bertha Lewis, Acorn’s chief organizer, said in a statement that came with the photo, “It has deeply saddened us to see Senator McCain abandon his historic support for ACORN and our efforts to support the goals of low-income Americans.”
”We are sure that the extremists he is trying to get into a froth will be even more excited to learn that John McCain stood shoulder to shoulder with ACORN, at an ACORN co-sponsored event, to promote immigration reform,” she said.
It’s hard to lie on your opponent in the Internet Age when you’re doing the same thing.
MCCAIN WILL BE MADE AN EXAMPLE OF….
POTUS OBAMA – IT’S A LOCK

OOOPS NAT…. SORRY …. MISDIRECTED FRIENDLY FIRE THERE
APOLOGIES. DIDNT READ ALL BEFORE I TYPED.

I predict McCain will win and by a comfortable margin.
Even with the 30,000 felons illegally registered to vote by Obama’s thugs at ACORN.
Obama is toast. Say hello to President McCain!!!

at long last America is about to rid itself of of the corrupt and incompetent Republican rule.
All Republicans, please set up a website where you can post pictures of yourselves crying late night Nov 4th.
electoral numbers really starting to look huge for Obama

I know of at least 3 democrats who told pollsters they were voting for Obama and they’re not. Now take that and put it on a national scale and it’s probably happening everywhere. People just don’t want the hassle of telling a pollster they’re not voting for a black guy. They don’t know who is on the other end of the phone. I don’t blame them!

With so called red states now turning blue, cynics, neanderthals, McCain and the entire GOP are s******* their pants looking at each other saying WTH???!!!
You know it’s bad when Nebraska repups are openly stating they’ll be voting for THAT ONE! You gotta love it!
Cans of Chicago whoop *** just shut down the whole GOP.
ABANDON SHIP!!! Every neanderthal for themselves!!!!
POTUS OBAMA – IT’S A LOCK, cynics!!!

I still can’t decide who to vote for. I took a quiz to see which candidate shares my views more. This helped me in my decision but I’m still not certain.

- Barack Obama – First Presidential Debate, September 26, 2008
“I think Senator McCain’s absolutely right that we need more responsibility…”
“Senator McCain is absolutely right that the earmarks process has been abused…”
“He’s also right that oftentimes lobbyists and special interests are the ones that are introducing these…requests…”
“John mentioned the fact that business taxes on paper are high in this country, and he’s absolutely right…”
“John is right we have to make cuts…”
“Senator McCain is absolutely right that the violence has been reduced as a consequence of the extraordinary sacrifice of our troops and our military families…”
“John — you’re absolutely right that presidents have to be prudent in what they say…”
“Senator McCain is absolutely right, we cannot tolerate a nuclear Iran…”

LOL Ace of Spades now walking back their RICO/ACORN story.
Jo and the rest of the right wingers get played for saps…again.

jo
the election will be decided in Obama’s favor long before morning…….

Jo
What is so bad about putting money into the hands of those who drive this economy.
Rich multi-millionaires spend their time doing public relations and smiling and golfing etc.
The workers who make the multi millionaires wealthy are the ones who are pounding foreclosure signs in their front yard, juggling bills, losing their 401k’s ………
How pathetic for you not to realize that if the middle class goes under the whole country goes under.
This is a powder keg waiting to blow when more and more people are going into financial distress while the fat cats are on a buying spree because the prices of stocks and other goods are dropping.
keep defending the fat cats and watch you neighborhood go up in arms while the fat cats are in their gated communities.

Blue,
Yeah, we heard that in 2004 too. All day long the media had huge grins on their faces, and then the big boom came later that night.
LOLOL.
LOVE IT!!!

There is panic going on in the Obama camp. I’m getting bombarded with e-mails saying the worst is coming and they’re hoping to fight the smears. What is going on? I thought we had this thing wrapped up?

TERRY………..
You are so right. OBAMA is the most leftist EVER to run for office.

OH SORRY …….. Obama didnt pay Acorn DIRECTELY,, he paid a subsidiary co. thats connected to Acorn. lol

“Obama didnt pay Acorn DIRECTELY,, he paid a subsidiary co. thats connected to Acorn”
So he didn’t pay ACORN
Why is it so hard for right wingers to tell the truth?

The one they have of Obama announcing all the defense cuts alone is enough to sink him.
—————-
Really?
You think the “We really suck, but listen to this accusation” strategy is going to work this year?
Good luck with that.
I think that’s the BEST idea either candidate has mentioned.
54% of our national budget is dedicated in some way to defense.
If you’re too stupid to realize that we cannot keep spending more than we bring in, you don’t understand what is going on in our country.
The days of Republican deficit spending has to end.

The most hilarious part of the last days of the McChicken campaign is that they’re due for one more major gaff and you know it’s going to happen!
Just watching the cynics holding hands while praying to their little ouji boards for rain on the Obama Change Express, just isn’t working.
POTUS OBAMA – IT’S A LOCK

The Obama cuts on defense video will sink him with independents who are very pro national security.
In the video he goes by one by and one and says what he will get rid of. One of them is the missle defense system he LIED about in the debate saying he was for.
Obama is toast. Get use to it.

Jo
it sure does
For the second time in history
The democrats will beat a Bush and squash a silly old man that is erratic. Dole …. now….. McCain

Make that 4 old silly men
Bush1 Dole Bush2 (by default) McCain

I use to support Obama, but there is just too much we don’t know. These are serious times and we need someone we can trust implicitly.

Someone needs an update ……..
the republicans caused the deficit?
lololol and what exactly has the majority in the house done for the past 2 yrs. without mentioning pelosi, fannie and freedie mess up, frank and his lover having conflict of interest.

It’s funny that the right wing drones think all the attacks are going to have some dramatic effect on the outcome of this election.
The only people listening to the smears are the people that have already decided on McCain.
Obama ran 36% negative ads last week, McCain 100%. And McCain’s numbers went down!
McCain tells people, “We have nothing to offer, but we don’t suck as much as him”
Obama has a plan, offers hope, and has appeared more ready to lead than McCain.
The few Independents that remain are thinking about how they’re going to pay their bills. They don’t want to hear a bunch of distoted information. It’s great that factcheck busts McCain repeatedly for his lies. People are catching on to his strategy.
McCain’s eratic decsions regarding the econonmy and his poor judgment will be what they remember in November.
And we’ll be sure to remind them just in case.

oh Jo
The numbers that Kerry and Gore had at this time is far lower than compared to Obama
Do you know North Dakota would go to Obama if they voted today.
Jo…. go to your storm shelter quick. You have never seen a landslide like this before.

POLITICO has a picture of McCain with ACORN so I just think this ACORN thing is just overblown.”
Did he train for them and donate 800K to them?

============================
I can’t find this alledged picture in Politico. Is this another made up event by some desperate Obama supporter?

Polls are tightening since the Ayers story is going forward.
Now the news is there is MUCH more out there about their close relationship.
All the undecideds and independents need is ONE thing to convince them Obama is a liar and can’t be trusted.
And that is coming in the next three weeks.
Put some butter on Obama, cuz he’s toast!
:)

Obama is reaching out to Muslims and Arab Americans through Minha Husani, his outreach director who had low key meetings in September, as we wouldn’t want the press to cover this and scare our Jewish friends.

Someone needs an update ……..
the republicans caused the deficit?
————————-
You say you need the update?
Yes, when Bill Clinton left office, our government had a SUPLUS and we were paying off the $5 TRILLION national debt.
After 8 years of Bush and 6 years of REPUBLICAN “leadership” we now have a $10 TRILLION national debt,
And, Bush proposed the LARGEST BUDGET DEFICIT IN AMERICAN HISTORY.
You say it was the Dems (that didn’t even get a majority until Nov 2006)?
Name a single year of the last eight we didn’t spend more than we took in. Come on now, just one? Anyone? Anyone?
So much for the Republican version of fiscal responsibility!

Jo tells us “Polls are tightening since the Ayers story is going forward.
Now the news is there is MUCH more out there about their close relationship.”

after the democrats get into office and start really uncovering (along with the fbi s help) all the illegal activities the republicans have been covering up with the power of the presidency , there will be some real trouble for the republicans.
once the american public finds out the truth about why there was a war aged over republican brewed lies? why is the countries economy and finance ruined after 8 years of republican rule when it was doing better than ever previous to that?
those questions will get answered ,many others too and the answers will certainly make the american voter unlikely to vote for a republican for a LOOONG time ,not even for dogcatcher .
ITS BAD REPUBLICANS , NO SPIN FOR THIS …ITS OVER!! BETTER PACK UP AND HEAD OUT FOR LOW TAX HAVEN HAITI NOW!! GBYE AND TAKE YOUR MORONIC SPOILED BRAT KIDS WITH YOU!!THANKS!!!AND DONT BACK EITHER !!BYE!!

yep… just looks terrible for Obama

For all of you trying desperately to get even a quarter inch deep through to a die hard right winger…just give it up. Reason has left them…as they cling to lies, rumors and half truths. Ignorance is their friend and they will follow it anywhere.

Who’s calling the kettle black, now!!!!
LOL!!!!!!
NOV. 4TH = OBAMA/BIDEN08

Johnny is the good ol boys who rushed that cockpit of Flight 93

Then he grabbed the controls and proceeded to crash the plane.

Obama was the shooter in the grassy knoll!
There is a photo that you can see his ears in the shrubbry, but his people have fought to keep this a “secret”.
Why isn’t the MSM repoting this????

I had a sick day at work today. Why are there so many democratics on here during the day. Dont you guys wowrk? lol Do u just collect, blog, collect, blog? Yeah you go obama, we love our free lifestyle. Let the republicans work their ***** off.

obabble is showing us the new american way. eat, sleep, collect, blog, vote obabble, let the rep. work, collect some more, snort, blog. its a wonderful life. i wonder if thats what our founding fathers had in mind years ago? SAD BUT TRU

Do (some of) you people even know how voting and registration works? Someone could register a million fake names, but no one could vote under the names without getting caught. ACORN flagged and reported the suspicious registrations as they are required to do. McCain even lauded ACORN’s work back in 2006. Let’s get back to the facts, “my friends”.

When JFK ran for President, they said a Catholic would never win a presidential election…but then, we weren’t at war with Rome….

I don’t like McCain or Obama. However, I do believe, as evidenced by his past, that McCain loves this Country. I’m not sure Obama does. If he does, how could he sit in that Church and listen to the hate coming out of Rev. Wright’s mouth. I don’t believe for one moment, that he didn’t ever hear it. Therefore, I will vote for McCain, who does love this Country.

YAY!!HOORAY!! DEMOCRATS IN POWER AGAIN!!!CANT COME SOON ENOUGH!!!
GO JOE.GO MARY.GO HARRY.GO OBAMA!!!!!!
YOU HAVE SOME FISH TO FRY ,GET WITH IT!!!
WE ,THE REAL PEOPLE WILL FIX YOUR ELITIST REPUBLICAN SCREW UPS AND WE WILL ALSO INVESTIGATE, INVESTIGATE AND INVESTIGATE SOME MORE. WE CAN MULTI TASK…UNLIKE MCCAIN
AND LISTEN UP…ONCE THE AMERICAN PUBLIC SEES WHAT REALLY HAS OCCURRED IN THE OVAL OFFICE OVER THE PAST 8 YEARS,AND FINALLY GETS THE REAL BIG PICTURE ,THERE WONT BE A REPUBLICAN AROUND TO VOTE FOR…THEY WILL ALL BE IN JAIL OR RESIGNED UNDER PUBLIC PRESSURE OR RUN OUT OF THIS COUNTRY ON A RAIL.
IF YOU ARE A REPUBLICAN , HEED THIS…
BE AFRAID…BE VERY VERY VERY AFRAID.

so what exactly is the issue with ACORN? It registers the poor and lower middle class to vote. Gee,how horrible. And sometimes, people fill out applications with phoney information. Gee,how unusual. You remember those republican volunteers in 2004 who went thru the forms and then threw in the garbage any that indicated Democratic registration? Any outrage at that.
Bottom line: when you register people, you turn in the forms. You can’t cull them yourself. Mickey Mouse will never vote. Voter fraud is voting with a false ID. That’s not the issue here, so stop calling it voter fraud.
Voter fraud is, say, less than 1/2 the number of machines that work in minority polling places. Voting fraud is challenging people’s registration becuase their name sounds like that of someone with a felony…just knock them all off if not sure (recall Florida). voting fraud is machines that register more votes than sign ins, or like in Florida again (and then Ohio) registering negative numbers for the Democrat.
Gee, wonder why we only worry about “voter fraud” when it involves the poor.

I guess, I’ll be stupid to vote Republican, since, almost 28 years ago, from Nixon(Recession, put a freeze on the Economy & Spending, Impeached the Liar), Ford,(lame duck) Regan(Deficits soar upward), BushI(Voodoo Economics & “Read My Lips, No New Taxes”, rose them anyway) and BushII(Depression)!!!!
Where is my trickle down money??????
The rich, RICHER!!!! Even their Friends!!!
Forgot about the middle class, working poor, poor, educated and uneducated people!!!!
Republican Party have stolen over the years, far more than $700 billion and it shows!!!
Think before you vote!!!!!
THE MASK FINALLY CAME OFF!!!!!
Nov. 4th = OBAMA/BIDEN08

“Without an ID, the registrations cannot get used.”
The hell you say.
An ID?
That’s racist!
BTW, the votes in Illinois have already been counted. Obama got 100% of them.
Thanks, ACORN!

talk about an *** whupping from da brothaz…we have a better more appropriate local security force lined up to make sure the voting locally is fair this time…there will be no voter intimidation from the conservatives this time.

TIM RUSSERT: The fact is you are different than George Bush.
SEN. McCAIN: No. No. The fact is that I have agreed with President Bush far more than I have disagreed. And on the transcendent issues, the most important issues of our day, I’ve been totally in agreement and support of President Bush.

Acorn…the latest Rethuglican distraction of the day. I’m certain that the “have nots” would rather have McCain Mouthpiece Rick Davis as their lobbyist but based on what he was billing Fannie, they couldn’t handle his rates.
Last week it was Ayers and all the those domestic terrorist lovin’ Chicago corporate, media, educational and political leaders who worked with Obama on the Repbulican-funded Annenberg Challenge. One of his fellow board members was an Asst. Sec. of State under Nixon. Another was the publisher of that Commie Pinko rag, the Chicago Tribune. Yet another was the former president of Northwestern University (aka Patrice Lumumba University West). All of them…pallin’ around with domestic terrorists!
The week before, Fannie, Freddie, the Community Reinvestment Act, and minority mortgage recipients were the cause of the world’s economic meltdown.
I’m eager to see what this week’s distractions will be as McCain has again hit the “reset” button and is lurching into “respectful” campaign mode. The lunatic fringe mob rallies must have been scaring the bejesus out of undecided voters.
While you’re reading and seeing this nonsense in the three weeks ahead, remember that a McCain strategist told the NY Daily News on 10/05/08 that “if we keep talking about the economic crisis, we’re going to lose.”

brooklyn dumbocrat:
“but based on what he was billing Fannie, they couldn’t handle his rates.

Why?
Obama came in second scooping up all the extra money from F&F…. and he was in on it for the shortest period of time!
Is crime sanctified only in the hands of Democrats?
hmmmmmmm?
Is crime

Jake- “squirrely”? – I concur. I indicated the same in my Ad Wars article on Huff Post. Team Obama has been very good at reacting strongly to McCain attacks. Yet their response on not only ACORN, but the Ayers issue is a bit wanting. In the latest Obama ad, they refute a very minor point about McCain’s Ayers assault – which does nothing to clear up misperceptions about this relationship. They need to do more – especially on ACORN. He’s the best candidate – but his camp needs to be as forthcoming as possible.

jpt:
“Obama backers today pointed out that McCain in February 2006 participated in a Miami rally in support of McCain’s immigration reform bill that was sponsored by ACORN as well as other groups, according to the press release. For whatever it’s worth, a photo from that rally can be seen HERE. ”
_____________
It’s not worth much!
McCain and the Democrats had been working on a bi-partisan plant for immigration at that time.
Why shouldn’t he have attended?
He wasn’t involved in the mis-appropriation of Acorn’s funds… or in the group’s illegal revision of the voter registration records…..
And,in fact, McCain benefitted not one monetary whit from the little acorn which. once it fell not far from the Oak-ama, got really big and fat from rolling in Barry’s dirt!

A serious question: why are media silent about McCain’s friendship with domestic terrorist Gordon Liddy?
_________
McCain, unlike Obama, has been very open about his association with Liddy.
He has acknowledged his friendship with him
Obama is the one who always retreats from any associations with which he had been involved… AS SOON AS THAT RELATIONSHIP THREATENS HIM POLITICALLY!
In other words, among other, less descriptive words,
Obama is a W U S S !!!!

I asked a question previously and would like to repeat it…
If Obama did not stand up against his own PASTOR…Can we expect him to stand up for America when we need him???

If people really want to register there are many ways of doing so.
Court house, post office, on line etc etc…still have to show ID when they vote

If Obama did not stand up against his own PASTOR…Can we expect him to stand up for America when we need him???

========================================
Good point Sandi. He finally kicked his
pastor under the bus when it became politically expedient. So much for
loyalty, no matter how misplaced. I don’t see Obama as a Christian because Wright isn’t a Christian. To be a Christian you have to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ. All I ever heard out of Rev. Wright or Fr. Pfleger was their calling on a hateful god to D=== America. That is not Christianity. Wright is a fake and I don’t see why the Catholic Church has kept Fr. Pfleger around. He must have something on somebody. Of course he has been warned but doesn’t seem to take. What a radical crew. So Obama can’t even be loyal to those he sees eye to eye with I wouldn’t count on his to stand up for a bunch of strangers.

Posted by: jan | Oct 13, 2008 6:06:10 PM
OMG I love G. Gordon. He knows the real
meaning of loyalty. Obama could take
lessons. I doubt that anybody will ever
be loyal to Obama because he has proved
he will kick anybody under the bus if
it’s expedient..even his typical white
grandmother. I worry that something
bad could happen to his African grand-
mother who was in the delivery room
when he was born. I know he will stop
at nothing to be President and she
could be a problem or maybe already be.

OK so what’s your point?!

Another desperate red herring from the rapidly sinking McCain campaign that intelligent voters simply don’t care about.
And this rates as news?
Posted by: R | Oct 13, 2008 6:44:07 PM
+++++++++++
R. If you don’t give us a hint about what or who you’re talking about you might as well be talking to yourself.

I guess the parrots will leave ACORN alone now. So far these smears have backfired on the GOP big time.

When did telling the truth about someone become a smear! Did Hillary smear Obama too? It’s sad that so many of us get caught up into presentations instead of substance and/or character! This man, Obama, could not be a highway patrolman with his background, but he might be president! Shame on us all!

I am amazed at the lack of outrage on this website regarding the voter fraud action of ACORN! These CRIMINALS are stealing your votes, my vote! The Democrats have made a conscious decision to steal the election BEFORE the vote on November 4.

McCain can’t talk about the economy because has forgotten what it is to have only one house to go home to.He does not have to worry about where he is going to park his cars how he will pay his bills much less the the middle class person.And as far as Obamas association with Ayers the people that are on that same board are supporters of McCain and now there is proof that McCain was attended a meeting at ACORN and as far as Rezko, McCain can lay claim to the Keating Five which took millions if not a billion from the elderly so he has no room to talk.

d
also the point is there should be better things to make poor people do that work for ACORN than meet a quota in voter registrations when you do that you make mistakes and usually make up stuff to get more registrations

Show me those people in Las Vegas who plan to vote for Barack Obama while impersonating the members of the Dallas Cowboys, and perhaps I’ll take the GOP’s ACORN story seriously.
Until them, I’ll stand my contention that this is overblown. The Republicans tried this on the federal level before, and ended up firing those U.S. attorneys like David Iglesias who refused to go along with their scheme.
The most egregious instances of electoral fraud in history have always been committed by those officials who abuse their positions of authority to malevolently influence the counting of votes, and not by those citizens who merely seek to cast them.

Are these the same volunteers that stole Proposition 8 and McCain Palin signs all over California last weekend? Are these the same volunteers that threaten widows because they oppose same sex marriage? Are these the same volunteers who cry out for free speech, unless it opposes their brand of speech.
This conduct sounds similar to the conduct of CREEP and the Nixon Watergate era. By their fruits you shall know them. Obama is a ravenous wolf in sheeps clothing.

Here’s a contemporaneous account (1993) from Chicago Magazine about Obama’s work to register those 150,000 voters. You will note ACORN isn’t mentioned. If they had been involved, I expect they would have been included.
“In its technical demands, a voter-registration drive is not unlike a mini-political campaign,” says John Schmidt, chairman of the Metropolitan Pier and Exposition Authority and a fundraiser for Project Vote! “Barack ran this superbly. I have no doubt he could run an equally good political campaign if that’s what he decided to do next.”

What yayrd signs in Oregon would you be asking about, the one’s that supported McCain and had the motov coacktail hurdled at them, or some disturbing anti- democrat sign?

Wow this is pretty silly.
ACORN offers people a chance to register to vote. After someone completes the form they review it and if it looks bad they mark as bad but are REQUIRED to still send it in to election officials. Then republicans accuse them of fraud because they submit bad forms?
How do republicans attempt to get more people to vote?
oh and btw: FoxNews just reported that the 800G was paid to an different organization with a broader mandate and that this organization distributed about a tenth of that to ACORN.

jackie,
The down and out you are talking about are the American middle class. they just lost one trillion of their retirement and many have lost their homes and jobs. Do you believe just poor people lost their homes and thier jobs. Look at Michigan, Penn., West Virginia, it’s not the down and out Obama’s is looking to help.
It’s probably people like you. How rich are you? how secure is your 9 to 5?

Since it is obvious that ACORN has a pattern of voter registration fraud, why isn’t ANYONE checking to see if this voter fraud changed the results of the primary? ACORN brags that they have gotten over a million new voters in the last 18 months…that means some of those’new voters’ may have altered the results of the primary election..
Come one Jake Tapper, investigate it!!

Florida would not have been close in 2000 if the Democrats had not sent lawyers in to challenge and invalidate Military and absentee votes. These votes are overwhelmingly conservative and would have benefited Bush. Just who is the party that disenfranchises votes? The Dems. So don’t give me that lame old line about Republicans trying to surpress minority votes, they just want to make sure dead people, felons and duplicate voters are stopped from turning an election.
Just check out Washington state Governor’s race. The Republican won, then won the recount and then lost the second recount as more ‘votes’ were found in boxes. Not to mention that thousands of military votes were not counted because they were sent to another state and did not arrive soon enough to be counted. But the ‘found’ boxes continued to be located and then counted until the Dem had enough votes to steal the election. The military votes arrived before the boxes were ‘found’ but still were not allowed to be included in the vote totals.
Seems to me that Dems only want their votes counted not anyone elses. Voter suppression is the Dems MO.

Sniffs of McCain camp desperation. I heard Obama once sat next to a kid who stole a carton of milk in the lunch room in third grade. Get on it, FoxNews!

Obama supporters are just so blind and stupid. And ‘THERE IS NO ONE SO BLIND AS HE WHO REFUSES TO SEE!”

We won’t have an economy or freedom or anything else if Osama wins!!! That is why you need to worry about ACORN, Ayers, and Wright, and all the other stupid things, and lies Osama has done. Everyone seems to want to ignore and the media is just as bad, what did they do pay everyone off…I’m proud of my country and I can’t be bought!!!!!!!!!!!MCCAIN-PALIN ALL THE WAY

(1) Obama lied about his collaboration with Ayers. Obama said Ayers was “just a guy in my neighborhood” when the truth was Ayers held one of the first campaign fund raisers for Obama in his home. Obama sat on two boards with Ayers, the Woods project and the Annenberg Challenge where Obama funneled thousands of dollars to Ayers anti-American school projects.
(2)Obama was a member of Rev. Wright’s church for twenty years. Rev. Wright’s church taught the racist and communist creed of black liberation theology. Rev. Wright: “God Da## America” “the chickens have come home to roost” the Sunday after 9/11, The US government is responsible for HIV among blacks are just a few of the hateful messages Rev. Wright preached from his pulpit. Obama claim that he was ignorant of Rev. Wright’s racist and anti-American beliefs are just not credible.
(3)One of Obama’s biggest campaign contributers was the convicted felon Rezco. Rezco helped Obama buy his million dollar home. Despite Rezco’s help in buying Obama’s home, Obama claims there was no quid pro quo with Rezco. Yet it is on record that Obama was instrumental in obtaining State funding for Rezco’s slum lord projects in Chicago. Rezco in now “singing” according to many reports in the Chicago Sun Times and the speculation is that Rezco may be spilling the beans on Obama.
(4)Obama’s web site claimed that Obama had no relationship with ACORN and than had to scrub the web site when irrefutable evidence came out showing Obama was an attorney for ACORN and participated in training ACORN leaders.
Obama’s track record of being “Squirrelly” I would say lying about his true relationship with crooks, communists and terrorists shows that Obama lacks good judgment, is a liar, and points to Obama’s true beliefs and leanings which are decidedly far left and out of the mainstream. Obama is unfit to be President.

Why did you not mention Republican ties to ACORN, other than your one reference to McCain?
And why did you not bring up the very serious possibility that the GOP has set up this whole ACORN thing?
I have been reading your blog daily for a while now. With articles such as this one, you do Democrats and Barack Obama a disservice. The truth is one thing, but understanding all the background stuff at play here is another.
I don’t believe that you do understand, Jake Tapper.

Obama supporters sure do throw names around like lier when anyone questions their candidate. Aren’t we allow to find out if he has any fatal flaws that would exempt him from being a suitable President in charge of the worlds finest military and largest stockpile of nuclear weapons. I hear Joe Biden says he will be tested–if elected–within 6 months of taking office. John McCain has been tested and passed. We don’t know what Barak Obama will do so I have a suggestion. Why don’t we test him now. He has absolutely refused to turn over his birth certificate to prove he is eligible to run. John McCain turned over all his private papers and medical records. Obama won’t let anybody know what his grades in Harvard were..must not be proud of himself. We know he graduated with no honors. He didn’t “teach” constitutional law. He was a lecturer. Big difference. We don’t know enough about him to trust him to be President. The big questions is how many Americans or our allies (perhaps Isralies) will die while this enigma is trying to “Prove” himself. Could be some of us or our families.
