The Note: McCain Seeks One More Storyline

Both Obama and McCain internal polls show this race is close – that’s why Obama is buying half-hour slots of TV. (Remember the last candidate who did that – President Ross Perot??) Much of the poll numbers put out by the MSM are skewed to favor the liberal candidate – big surprise there. McCain Democrats, do you really believe what the polls say, that 90% of Democrats are supporting Obama? Look around at your own families and friends – are they 90% on board for Obama? The liberal media is attempting to create an air of inevitability around Barack Obama by skewing polls, and by ignoring or playing down stories that might harm Obama. They hope to discourage McCain voters from going to the polls. This race is not over until the polls close in November. If you stay away from the polls, you are doing exactly what Obama and his allies at ABC, NBC, CBS and ACORN, the voter fraud specialists to whom Obama gave $800,000, want you to do.

all those ACORNS have grown into a mighty OAK TREE OF OBAMA VOTER FRAUD.

JB, you need to wake up. “my friend”. Since ACORN has registered close to 1.3 million voters in the last 4 years, how do you reconcile your errant comment that they want people to stay away from the polls? Are you also blind to McNegative’s past support for ACORN as well? Or is it off limits because it involves your failed candidate? As recently as February 20, 2006, Senator McCain was the keynote speaker at an ACORN-sponsored Immigration Rally in Miami, Florida at Miami Dade College – Wolfson Campus.

THe amazing $700 billion. Apparently it can be spent over and over and it magically regenerates each morning.

JB in St. Louis – You’re right. The race isn’t over yet. But out of all my family, circle of friends, and neighbors, I know only one person who plans to vote for McCain. I know this probably doesn’t mean very much in the scheme of things but it is indicative of how people are feeling about their government at this point in time. The so-called “change” that McCain promises is not what most of us want, assuming that he can hold to them in the first place. And, most likely, McCain’s version of change wouldn’t be considered change at all.

Looks like it’s a day late and a dime short for the McChicken campaign.
From Quinnipiac/washingtonpost.com/Wall Street Journal polls:
Colorado: Obama 52, McCain 43
Michigan: Obama 54, McCain 38
Minnesota: Obama 51, McCain 40
Wisconsin: Obama 54, McCain 37
Dates conducted: Oct. 8-12. Error margin: Ranges 2.8-3.1 points

With Palin on the ticket there is no way McCain has a chance

Watching McCain during this election campaign is like watching a fish thrashing about on a hot sidewalk.

Marianne Pepitone: You are so right about the polls. Here in Missouri the polls show Obama neck and neck with McCain. I’ve lived in south St. Louis County my entire life. There is NO way Obama will carry Missouri. It will be close, but McCain will win by 3-4 points. I’d be willing to bet on it. I know far too many Democrats voting Democratic down ticket, and McCain for president. As far as Republicans claiming to vote for Obama on this site, I don’t buy it for a minute. Many of my neighbors are Republicans, and they’re terrified of a Socialist in the office of president. Republicans for Obama = liberal Democrat pretenders.

The Turnaround:
McCain Vows to Stop Voting with Bush 90 Percent of the Time

People do you know anything about Mccains healthcare Policy? Well this is what I know Mccain is gonna TAX our Healthcare Benifts! as If it were Income,Under A Mccain Administration we may lose our Health Benifits That our Employers provide, Then Mccain wants to run the Health Insurance Industry like the Banks with NO REGULATION! He does propose a 5000 dollar Tax credit, But we do not see that that goes to the Insurance company Everyone knows it cost more then 5000 dollars for a family plan! so the Taxing thing Mccain is going to Tax us but in a SNEAKY WAY! we are doomed with that Healthcare Policy!

Read this article –
http://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/23316912/makebelieve_maverick/print
and you’ll be decded or affirmed about who is ‘right’ for the POTUS. Really.
Y’know, if the MSM ran this or asked about any of the contents (some of which is from McCain’s book) you’ll certainly see why everyone’s sooooo angry around the GOP.

– People do you know anything about Mccains healthcare Policy? –
Yes.. his plan involves deregulating, taxing employer provided health insurance to encourage a shift to private coverage, and an across the board tax credit regardless of income level. Like his tax plan, his health plan favors the wealthy and would result in more Americans losing health care.

Nice that McCain is taking a somewhat serious shot at the economy today. But his proposals are merely a weak copy of Obama’s plans and aren’t being paid for with McCain’s “no new taxes” pledge. Is he really that enamored with deficit spending?
http://www.political-buzz.com/

This campaign is difficult to choose.
Do I choose a “Token Negro” Obama. One that has gone to white schools all his life, a child of a mixed racial family, with questionable birth records, no leadership experiance at all, no real job history, but can talk the talk. Who’s only claim to fame is a few books he wrote – due to not being able to find other work ??
Or do I choose John McCain, a war vet – who betrayed our country, and caused hundreds of american vets to die, in Nam. He did come back, turned his life around (the only way he knew how), and has been a fighter every since. Yes, his education is not so good (bottom of class at most schools), and his history as a maverick is well known. Yes he is old, and has cancer. But experiance is the best teacher, he does have that. He has written books, done several movies, and been a senator for along time. Is he elite, perhaps not, but he is a fighter.
We need a fighter, not a talker. Yes McCain has a few issues, but what vet doesn’t.
Sorry but after working, in the good (the elite for 12 years, growing up) and the bad (several years in slum neighborhoods in NC – and 6 years as a vet overseas) portions of society.
I must choose the fighter – McCain has my vote.
I have seen the talkers, they die in battle. The fighters, keep on fighting, and eventually win.

I think Mccain thought this Election was going to be about Foreign Policy, because he is truly clueless and lost on Economic Issuses. 2o something days away and he still does not have a plan! no way no how no Mccain!

My friends, I am an angry old hypocritical dumbass. Now, can I please go home to one of my ten homes, put up my feet, and catch up on Matlock? ‘Cause I’m tired of Obama cutting the rhetorical cheese in my face. – John “Grandpa” McCrankypants

The rudderless ship seeks one more time to chart a direction for itself. The McCain ship never seems to make complete circles, but does zig zag its way along to November 4th. The dry dock is awaiting the McCain sailing ship. The campaign has become a colossal failure in bringing fourth any sound proposal as McCain surrounded himself with lobbyists, not high minded bright subject matter experts.

Yes, the race may be close, but I think all the signs point to Obama winning. And it’s not just he polls that make me think so.
For the first time in decades, every single independent I know is voting for the Democrat. It’s not that they’re keen on Obama but because they no longer respect McCain. Because they despise Palin. Because they loathe what the Republican Party has become.
My 85-year-old father, who has voted Republican since 1972, is voting for Obama for the same reason as my independent friends.
When people like that abandon the Republican party, I don’t see how McCain can win.

a registered voter be it fkladfj or asdfjkal;ksdfj
both of them probably wont vote
and they are taken off the voter rolls as soon as they dont get a confirmation from teh voter.
so while registering non existent people is stupid and should really be stopped, teh chances of them voting are extremely unlikely…
however the republicans love to let dead people vote.
This acorn story is essentially a non issue
im suprised more of you righteous make sure all ties and dealings with a candidate are 100% on the up and up republicans
arent making a bigger stink out of sarah palins abuse of power and her violation of ethics…
but i get it, if you really cared about personal ties you would be all over palin, but you dont really you just wnat to try to discredit obama

I think obamas radical ties to people bombing the pentagon are a far stretch to someone alowing her husband to speak to people at the governors office dont you????

THE OCTOBER SURPRISE HAS YET TO COME!
Apparently the washington times is working on a story about Sara Palin and her corrupt ties to Sen Stevens. In Alaska, Apparently those same people that helped Stevens commit Fraud have also helped the Palins build their 12 millon dollar home In Wasillia FOR FREE! Somehow the story is linked to the Wasillia Sports Complex dont have much Info yet but stayed tuned for the Juicy details!

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.

Until Lou Dobbs discovers that illegal aliens are either being registered to
vote by ACORN, are bieng hired by ACORN to register voters, or are monopolizinbg all the jobs in the acorn picking business, the ACORN issue is confined to spaces such as these in the chattering of rightist squirrels.

This is what Obama’s higher Tax polices is going to fund. Not for all American students, but only radicalization of certain students! Our tax dollars should not be abused this way!

Wright 101
Obama funded extremist Afrocentrists who shared Rev. Wright’s anti-Americanism
By Stanley Kurtz
It looks like Jeremiah Wright was just the tip of the iceberg. Not only did Barack Obama savor Wright’s sermons, Obama gave legitimacy — and a whole lot of money — to education programs built around the same extremist anti-American ideology preached by Reverend Wright. And guess what? Bill Ayers is still palling around with the same bitterly anti-American Afrocentric ideologues that he and Obama were promoting a decade ago. All this is revealed by a bit of digging, combined with a careful study of documents from the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, the education foundation Obama and Ayers jointly led in the late 1990s.
John McCain, take note. Obama’s tie to Wright is no longer a purely personal question (if it ever was one) about one man’s choice of his pastor. The fact that Obama funded extremist Afrocentrists who shared Wright’s anti-Americanism means that this is now a matter of public policy, and therefore an entirely legitimate issue in this campaign.
African Village
In the winter of 1996, the Coalition for Improved Education in [Chicago’s] South Shore (CIESS) announced that it had received a $200,000 grant from the Chicago Annenberg Challenge. That made CIESS an “external partner,” i.e. a community organization linked to a network of schools within the Chicago public system. This network, named the “South Shore African Village Collaborative” was thoroughly “Afrocentric” in orientation. CIESS’s job was to use a combination of teacher-training, curriculum advice, and community involvement to improve academic performance in the schools it worked with. CIESS would continue to receive large Annenberg grants throughout the 1990s.
The South Shore African Village Collaborative (SSAVC) was very much a part of the Afrocentric “rites of passage movement,” a fringe education crusade of the 1990s. SSAVC schools featured “African-Centered” curricula built around “rites of passage” ceremonies inspired by the puberty rites found in many African societies. In and of themselves, these ceremonies were harmless. Yet the philosophy that accompanied them was not. On the contrary, it was a carbon-copy of Jeremiah Wright’s worldview.
Rites of Passage
To learn what the rites of passage movement was all about, we can turn to a sympathetic 1992 study published in the Journal of Negro Education by Nsenga Warfield-Coppock. In that article, Warfield-Coppock bemoans the fact that public education in the United States is shaped by “capitalism, competitiveness, racism, sexism and oppression.” According to Warfield-Coppock, these American values “have confused African American people and oriented them toward American definitions of achievement and success and away from traditional African values.” American socialization has “proven to be dysfuntional and genocidal to the African American community,” Warfield-Coppock tells us. The answer is the adolescent rites of passage movement, designed “to provide African American youth with the cultural information and values they would need to counter the potentially detrimental effects of a Eurocentrically oriented society.”
The adolescent rites of passage movement that flowered in the 1990s grew out of the “cultural nationalist” or “Pan-African” thinking popular in radical black circles of the 1960s and 1970s. The attempt to create a virtually separate and intensely anti-American black social world began to take hold in the mid-1980s in small private schools, which carefully guarded the contents of their controversial curricula. Gradually, through external partners like CIESS, the movement spread to a few public schools. Supporters view these programs as “a social and cultural ‘inoculation’ process that facilitates healthy, African-centered development among African American youth and protects them against the ravages of a racist, sexist, capitalist, and oppressive society.”
We know that SSAVC was part of this movement, not only because their Annenberg proposals were filled with Afrocentric themes and references to “rites of passage,” but also because SSAVC’s faculty set up its African-centered curriculum in consultation with some of the most prominent leaders of the “rites of passage movement.” For example, a CIESS teacher conference sponsored a presentation on African-centered curricula by Jacob Carruthers, a particularly controversial Afrocentrist.
Jacob Carruthers
Like other leaders of the rites of passage movement, Carruthers teaches that the true birthplace of world civilization was ancient “Kemet” (Egypt), from which Kemetic philosophy supposedly spread to Africa as a whole. Carruthers and his colleagues believe that the values of Kemetic civilization are far superior to the isolating and oppressive, ancient Greek-based values of European and American civilization. Although academic Egyptologists and anthropologists strongly reject these historical claims, Carruthers dismisses critics as part of a white supremacist conspiracy to hide the truth of African superiority.
Carruthers’s key writings are collected in his book, Intellectual Warfare. Reading it is a wild, anti-American ride. In his book, we learn that Carruthers and his like-minded colleagues have formed an organization called the Association for the Study of Classical African Civilizations (ASCAC), which takes as its mission the need to “dismantle the European intellectual campaign to commit historicide against African peoples.” Carruthers includes “African-Americans” within a group he would define as simply “African.” When forced to describe a black person as “American,” Carruthers uses quotation marks, thus indicating that no black person can be American in any authentic sense. According to Carruthers, “The submission to Western civilization and its most outstanding offspring, American civilization, is, in reality, surrender to white supremacy.”
Carruthers’s goal is to use African-centered education to recreate a separatist universe within America, a kind of state-within-a-state. The rites of passage movement is central to the plan. Carruthers sees enemies on every part of the political spectrum, from conservatives, to liberals, to academic leftists, all of whom reject advocates of Kemetic civilization, like himself, as dangerous and academically irresponsible extremists. Carruthers sees all these groups as deluded captives of white supremacist Eurocentric culture. Therefore the only safe place for Africans living in the United States (i.e. American blacks) is outside the mental boundaries of our ineradicably racist Eurocentric civilization. As Carruthers puts it: “…some of us have chosen to reject the culture of our oppressors and recover our disrupted ancestral culture.” The rites of passage movement is a way to teach young Africans in the United States how to reject America and recover their authentic African heritage.
America as Rape
Carruthers admits that Africans living in America have already been shaped by Western culture, yet compares this Americanization process to rape: “We may not be able to get our virginity back after the rape, but we do not have to marry the rapist….” In other words, American blacks (i.e. Africans) may have been forcibly exposed to American culture, but that doesn’t mean they need to accept it. The better option, says Carruthers, is to separate out and relearn the wisdom of Africa’s original Kemetic culture, embodied in the teachings of the ancient wise man, Ptahhotep (an historical figure traditionally identified as the author of a Fifth Dynasty wisdom book). Anything less than re-Africanization threatens the mental, and even physical, genocide of Africans living in an ineradicably white supremacist United States.
Carruthers is a defender of Leonard Jeffries, professor in the department of black studies at City College in Harlem, infamous for his black supremacist and anti-Semitic views. Jeffries sees whites as oppressive and violent “ice people,” in contrast to peaceful and mutually supportive black “sun people.” The divergence says Jeffries, is attributable to differing levels of melanin in the skin. Jeffries also blames Jews for financing the slave trade. Carruthers defends Jeffries and excoriates the prestigious black academics Carruthers views as traitorous for denouncing their African brother, Jeffries. Carruthers’s vision of the superior and peaceful Kemetic philosophy of Ptahhotep triumphing over Greco-Euro-American-white culture obviously parallels Jeffries’ opposition between ice people and sun people.
More of Carruthers’s education philosophy can be found in his newsletter, The Kemetic Voice. In 1997, for example, at the same time Carruthers was advising SSAVC on how to set up an African-centered curriculum, he praised the decision of New Orleans’ School Board to remove the name of George Washington from an elementary school. Apparently, some officials in New Orleans had decided that nobody who held slaves should have a school named after him. Carruthers touted the name-change as proof that his African-centered perspective was finally having an effect on public policy. At the demise of George Washington School, Carruthers crowed: “These events remind us of how vast the gulf is that separates the Defenders of Western Civilization from the Champions of African Civilization.”
According to Chicago Annenberg Challenge records, Carruthers’s training session on African-centered curricula for SSAVC teachers was a huge hit: “As a consciousness raising session, it received rave reviews, and has prepared the way for the curriculum readiness survey….” These teacher-training workshops were directly funded by the Chicago Annenberg Challenge. Another sure sign of the ideological cast of SSAVC’s curriculum can be found in Annenberg documents noting that SSAVC students are taught the wisdom of Ptahhotep. Carruthers’s concerns about “menticide” and “genocide” at the hand of America’s white supremacist system seem to be echoed in an SSAVC document that says: “Our children need to understand the historical context of our struggles for liberation from those forces that seek to destroy us.”
When Jeremiah Wright turned toward African-centered thinking in the late 1980s and early 1990s (the period when, attracted by Wright’s African themes, Barack Obama first became a church member), many prominent thinkers from Carruthers’s Association for the Study of Classical African Civilizations were invited to speak at Trinity United Church of Christ, Carruthers himself included. We hear echoes of Carruthers’s work in Wright’s distinction between “right brained” Africans and “left brained” Europeans, in Wright’s fears of U.S. government-sponsored genocide against American blacks, and in Wright’s embittered attacks on America’s indelibly white-supremacist history. In Wright’s Trumpet Newsmagazine, as in Carruthers’s own writings, blacks are often referred to as “Africans living in the diaspora” rather than as Americans.
Asa Hilliard
Chicago Annenberg Challenge records also indicate that SSAVC educators invited Asa Hilliard, a pioneer of African-centered curricula and a close colleague of Carruthers, to offer a keynote address at yet another Annenberg-funded teacher training session. Hilliard’s ties to Wright run still deeper than Carruthers’s. A close Wright mentor and friend, Hilliard died in 2007 while on a trip to Kemet (Egypt) with Wright and members of Wright’s congregation. Hillard was scheduled to deliver several lectures to the congregants, and to speak at a meeting of the Association for the Study of Classical African Civilization, which he co-founded with Carruthers and other “African-centered” scholars. On that last trip, Hilliard accepted an appointment to the board of Wright’s new elementary school, Kwame Nkrumah Academy. Speaking of the need for such a school, Wright had earlier said, “We need to educate our children to the reality of white supremacy.” (For more on Wright’s Afrocentric school, see “Jeremiah Wright’s ‘Trumpet.’”)
Wright delivered the eulogy at Hilliard’s memorial service, with prominent members of ASCAC in the audience. To commemorate Hilliard, a special, two-cover double issue of Wright’s Trumpet Newsmagazine was published, with a picture of Hilliard on one side, and a picture of Louis Farrakhan on the other (in celebration of a 2007 award Farrakhan received from Wright). In short, the ties between Wright and Hilliard could hardly have been closer. Clearly, then, Wright’s own educational philosophy was mirrored at the Annenberg-funded SSAVC, which sought out Hilliard’s and Carruthers’s counsel to construct its curriculum.
Perhaps inadvertently, Wright’s eulogy for Hilliard actually established the fringe nature of his favorite African-centered scholars. In his tribute, Wright stressed how intensely “white Egyptologists recoiled at the very notion of everything Asa taught.” As Wright himself made plain, it seems virtually impossible to find respectable scholars of any political stripe who approve of the extremist anti-American version of Afrocentrism promoted by Hilliard and Carruthers.
Ayers’s Pals
An important exception to the rule is Bill Ayers himself, who not only worked with Obama to fund groups like this at the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, but who is still “palling around” with the same folks. Discretely waiting until after the election, Bill Ayers and his wife, and fellow former terrorist, Bernardine Dohrn plan to release a book in 2009 entitled Race Course Against White Supremacy. The book will be published by Third World Press, a press set up by Carruthers and other members of the ASCAC. Representatives of that press were prominently present for Wright’s eulogy at Asa Hilliard’s memorial service. Less than a decade ago, therefore, when it came to education issues, Barack Obama, Bill Ayers, and Jeremiah Wright were pretty much on the same page.
Obama’s Knowledge
Given the precedent of his earlier responses on Ayers and Wright, Obama might be inclined to deny personal knowledge of the educational philosophy he was so generously funding. Such a denial would not be convincing. For one thing, we have evidence that in 1995, the same year Obama assumed control of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, he publicly rejected “the unrealistic politics of integrationist assimilation,” a stance that clearly resonates with both Wright and Carruthers. (See “No Liberation.”)
And as noted, Wright had invited Carruthers, Hilliard, and like-minded thinkers to address his Trinity congregants. Wright likes to tick off his connections to these prominent Afrocentrists in sermons, and Obama would surely have heard of them. Reading over SSAVC’s Annenberg proposals, Obama could hardly be ignorant of what they were about. And if by some chance Obama overlooked Hilliard’s or Carruthers’s names, SSAVC’s proposals are filled with references to “rites of passage” and “Ptahhotep,” dead giveaways for the anti-American and separatist ideological concoction favored by SSAVC.
We know that Obama did read the proposals. Annenberg documents show him commenting on proposal quality. And especially after 1995, when concerns over self-dealing and conflicts of interest forced the Ayers-headed “Collaborative” to distance itself from monetary issues, all funding decisions fell to Obama and the board. Significantly, there was dissent within the board. One business leader and experienced grant-smith characterized the quality of most Annenberg proposals as “awful.” (See “The Chicago Annenberg Challenge: The First Three Years,” p. 19.) Yet Obama and his very small and divided board kept the money flowing to ideologically extremist groups like the South Shore African Village Collaborative, instead of organizations focused on traditional educational achievement.
As if the content of SSAVC documents wasn’t warning enough, their proposals consistently misspelled “rites of passage” as “rights of passage,” hardly an encouraging sign from a group meant to improve children’s reading skills. The Chicago Annenberg Challenge’s own evaluators acknowledged that Annenberg-aided schools showed no improvement in achievement scores. Evaluators attributed that failure, in part, to the fact that many of Annenberg’s “external partners” had little educational expertise. A group that puts its efforts into Kwanzaa celebrations and half-baked history certainly fits that bill, and goes a long way toward explaining how Ayers and Obama managed to waste upwards of $150 million without improving student achievement.
However he may seek to deny it, all evidence points to the fact that, from his position as board chair of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, Barack Obama knowingly and persistently funded an educational project that shared the extremist and anti-American philosophy of Jeremiah Wright. The Wright affair was no fluke. It’s time for McCain to say so.

Factcheck – It already has, a large majority have already voted in early vote casting in Ohio, why do you think Acorn was on a big push then to register voter and take them immediately to the polling stations. There was no investigating to the legitimacy of the names and address of those voters. No ID’s had to be shown, by the push of the Ohio Secretary of State not doing her job, on purpose! They could have voted multiple times by being taken from polling stations to other’s, just that easy you law breaking supporter! That Secretary of State in Ohio is a corrupt supporter of law breakers, shame on them all. This is proof liberals can’t win unless they cheat. So who’s the whiners now, because the one’s who get investigated and jailed for law breaking, are going to be the whiners. And I bet they will all be liberals, not law abiding Democrats, liberals!

preciate you changing that Mike.

Maybe the question for the Palin/McCain ticket should be:
How sick is John McCain?
Read this:
http://www.counterpunch.org/cockburn10122008.html
Do we really want Todd and Sarah running (or should I say ruining) the country?

Let’s see what would happen if McCain sat in a white supremacist, anti-American church for 20 yrs? If he associated with unrepentant terrorists and started his presidential campaign in a terrorist’s living room? If he would not give Americans the details of his college life, transcripts, health records, and birth certificate? If his wife spouted off how she was just now proud of her country? If he gave $800k or more to ACORN to get out the voter fraud for the repubs? If he flipped on every issue since the primary? If he planned to raise taxes and begin socialism and disguised it as “fairness for the middle class?” If he had truth squads arresting people against him and had his supporters spewing sexist slurs every day? You get my point. I bring this up to the bots and ask them what if McCain had done all this? They have nothing to say except “McCain is more of the same” and the line of this election…”you’re a racist.” The bots are useless morons who would follow any cult that gave them free reign with the media and local authorities to run around in mayhem terrorizing people, trashing cars, and getting in people’s faces.
If McCain had done 1 single thing on this list, his career would have been over. Bozo just says I didn’t do it or I didn’t know or you’re racist. This is the most disgusting, piece of crap election in history.

McCain bounces around like a ball in an old pin-ball machine – He has become irrelevant. ……………..
http://thefiresidepost.com/2008/10/14/mccain-has-become-irrelevant/

McCain’s finished, even rank and file Republicans hate him. They are not even trying to reachout to Ron Paul supporters while the rest of the party goes AWOL and won’t even support those who even bother to run as Republicans in their own districts. This is going to be a blowout for the Democrats, they won’t even be penalized for caving into Bush all this time. Now we’ll all have to follow Obama and Pelosi’s lead… Thanks GOP, you sold your country out for all the cash, gold, and silver you could carry. And now you’ll ferry off to Dubai, while the country is left to implode. Thanks GOP, now the DNC will finish off what you left behind.

Surprise! Illegal ACORN registrations do, in fact, lead to illegal ACORN ballots! From the NY Post:
Investigators probing ACORN have learned that an Ohio man registered to vote several times and CAST A BOGUS BALLOT with a fake address, officials said yesterday, as they revealed that nearly 4,000 registration applications supplied by the left-leaning activist group were suspect.
The vote of Darnell Nash, one of four people subpoenaed in a Cuyahoga County probe of ACORN’s voter-registration activities, was canceled and his case was turned over to local prosecutors and law enforcement, Board of Elections officials said yesterday.
Nash had registered to vote repeatedly from an address that belonged to a legitimately registered voter, officials said during a hearing at which the subpoenaed voters were to testify.
Board officials had contacted Nash this summer, questioned his address and told him to stop repeat registering.
But still, he breezed into Ohio election offices – the state allows early voting for president – reregistered with a fake address and cast a paper ballot, officials said.
“He came in on 9/30 and Mr. Nash again registered to vote at [someone else's] address, and he cast a ballot,” said board official Jane Platten.
Nash did not turn up for the hearing.
Expect to hear about a lot more of these, especially in Ohio, where the Obama campaign is trying to steal the state with great help from same day registrations.

Head of McCain’s transition team lobbied for Saddam Hussein:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/10/14/mccain-transition-chief-a_n_134595.html
Could you imagine the uproar on FOX News if this guy had been the head of Obama’s transition team?

That “Uncle Sam” poster above seems to be getting some of those lying, smearing emails we’ve heard about – like that elderly lady who said Obama was an Arab, remember her? She said she got emails and mailers and that was her source of information. They get this vile spewing information and just injest it without bothing to think independently. It’s so easy to spot this stuff. “My friends, copy and paste that email. Don’t even blink, just copy and paste now.” Sheep

I think Obama has a pat answer for everything, not necessarily the right one, that may just get people to believe him into the WH.
Things aren’t going well, to a certain extent, so the coach and his team get fired…that’s the way it goes.
However, Obama’s constant blaming of all bad things on
“the failed Bush policies of the last eight years” as if Bush rewrote everything, will wear thin with a Dem congress and a Dem WH. Good luck, smarty who knows better!
Sometimes the replacement coach is worse.

Sing along, if your a McCain supporter and feel so inclined, with the lyrics here:
McCain – Palin Tradition
By Hank Williams Jr.
The left wing liberal media have
Always been a real close knit family
But, most of the American People
Don’t believe em anyway ya see
Stop and think it over
Before you make your decision
If they smell something
They’re gonna come down strong
It’s a McCain – Palin tradition
Now this old Union’s got problems
That is plain to see
The Democrats bankrupted Fannie Mae N Freddie Mac
Just like 1, 2, 3
The bankers didn’t want to make all those bad loans,
But Bill Clinton said you got to
Now they want a bail out, what I’m talking about
Is a Democrat liberal who doo
CHORUS
John N Sarah tell ya
Just what they think
And they’re not gonna blink
And they’re gonna fix this country
Cause they’re just like you N ole Hank
Yes John is a maverick
And Sarah fixed Alaska’s broken condition
They’re gonna go just fine
We’re headed for better times
It’s a McCain – Palin tradition
I am very proud of America’s name
Bu no society is perfect
And we have had our stains
If I’m down at the coffee shop and
Somebody wants to give our flag friction
We say please move on
Cause we’re standing strong
That’s an old John McCain tradition
CHORUS
John N Sarah tell ya
Just what they think
And they’re not gonna blink
And they’re gonna fix this country
Cause they’re just like you N ole Hank
Yes John is a maverick
And Sarah fixed Alaska’s broken condition
They’re gonna go just fine
We’re headed for better times
It’s a McCain – Palin tradition
Some are bound to tell you I’m
Preaching to the choir
And that is very true
And we are going even higher
Like a mama bear in Idaho
She’ll protect your family’s condition
If you mess with her cubs
She’s gonna take of the gloves
It’s an American female tradition
CHORUS
John N Sarah tell ya
Just what they think
And they’re not gonna blink
And they’re gonna fix this country
Cause they’re just like you N ole Hank
Yes John is a maverick
And Sarah fixed Alaska’s broken condition
They’re gonna go just fine
We’re headed for better times
It’s a McCain – Palin tradition

Christopher Buckley, the son of the respected conservative and the founder of the National Review, the late Bill Buckley (may his soul rest in peace) has resigned from National Review after endorsing Obama.
He was quoted as saying
” So, I have been effectively fatwahed (is that how you spell it?) by the conservative movement, and the magazine that my father founded must now distance itself from me. But then, conservatives have always had a bit of trouble with the concept of diversity. The GOP likes to say it’s a big-tent. Looks more like a yurt to me.
While I regret this development, I am not in mourning, for I no longer have any clear idea what, exactly, the modern conservative movement stands for. Eight years of “conservative” government has brought us a doubled national debt, ruinous expansion of entitlement programs, bridges to nowhere, poster boy Jack Abramoff and an ill-premised, ill-waged war conducted by politicians of breathtaking arrogance. As a sideshow, it brought us a truly obscene attempt at federal intervention in the Terry Schiavo case.
So, to paraphrase a real conservative, Ronald Reagan: I haven’t left the Republican Party. It left me.”
This is indeed a historic moment! Republicans with a conscience are dumping the McCain-Palin ticket and voting for Obama-Biden ticket.
Perhaps there is a God, and America has a future after all!

Shocking development: Mrs Obama decides enough is enough: “My husband was born in Hawaii and adopted by his step father, does that make him unpatriotic; she asks”, on a direct telephone to API.

Accusing API of colluding with American internet bloggers in an effort to bring down her husband, Mrs Obama said she decided to call API because of what she termed, API’s help to spread rumours created by American bloggers and other racist media outlets in their efforts to damage a black man’s name, saying she hopes African Media was mature enough to be in the front to give unwavering support to her husband, a man Africans should identify themselves with.
When API told her that our online news media was only relaying what the American Bloggers and other media outlets had discovered through their investigations, Mrs Obama was angered and she came out loud with the following: “African press International is supposed to support Africans and African-American view,” and she went to state that, “it is strange that API has chosen to support the racists against my husband. There is no shame in being adopted by a step father. All dirt has been thrown onto my husband’s face and yet he loves this country. My husband and I know that there is no law that will stop him from becoming the president, just because some American white racists are bringing up the issue of my husband’s adoption by His step father. The important thing here is where my husband’s heart is at the moment. I can tell the American people that My husband loves this country and his adoption never changed his love for this country. He was born in Hawaii, yes, and that gives him all the right to be an American citizen even though he was adopted by a foreigner; says Michelle Obama on telefon to API.”
This is a very interesting turn of events. The American man Dr Corsi was recently reported to have been arrested in Kenya because there was fear that he might reveal information on Obama when he wanted to hold a press conference in Nairobi.
The question now is why he was arrested and who ordered his arrest. Was Obama’s hand in this in any way? We will never know the truth but what is clear is that Dr Corsi was seen as a threat while in Kenya.
When API asked Mrs Obama to comment on why Dr Corsi was arrested by the Kenyan government and whether she thought Kenya’s Prime Minister Mr Raila Odinga was involved in Dr Corsi’s arrest, she got irritated and and simply told API not to dig that which will support evil people who are out to stop her husband from getting the presidency.
When asked who she was referring to as the evil people, she stated that she was not going to elaborate much on that but that many conservative white people and even some African Americans were against her husband, but that this group of blacks were simply doing so because of envy.
On Farakhan and his ministry, Mrs Obama told API that it was unfortunate that Mr Farakhan came out the way he did supporting her husband openly before the elections was over. That was not wholehearted support but one that was calculated to convince the American people that my husband will support the growth of muslim faith if he became the president, adding “even if my husband was able to prove that he is not a Muslim, he will not be believed by those who have come out strongly to destroy his chances of being the next President. Do real people expect someone to deny a religion when 80 percent of his relatives are Muslims?; Mrs Obama asked.
Mrs Obama asked API to write a good story about her husband and that will earn API an invitation to the innoguration ceremony when, as she put it , her husband will be installed as the next President of the United States of America next year.
