President Obama Robocalls for Gov. Corzine in New Jersey
EmailFor Garden Staters who think President Obama – star of television, the internet, newspapers, magazines and radio – is not sufficiently ubiquitous, your prayers have been answered: he may soon be coming to your phone.
“Hi this is President Obama,” says the robocall, “I want to apologize for disturbing you, but there’s an important election in New Jersey this coming Tuesday.
“Last year we started the movement for change,” he says. “Now we need to keep it going.”
“That's why I'm asking you to get behind Governor Jon Corzine. Together we can fix our schools, improve health care, turn around the economy so it works for all Americans.
“So please get out to vote on Tuesday. And vote for my friend and your governor Jon Corzine. Thanks for listening.”
You can listen to the call HERE.
The latest Quinnipiac University poll released today showed Corzine and his Republican challenger, former federal prosecutor Chris Christie, in a statistical dead heat. Christie was supported by 42 percent of those polled, with Corzine enjoying 40 percent support. An independent candidate Christopher Daggett had 12 percent.

With ACORN and SEIU helping with the election one can only imagine who will win this one. And the big ACORN associate in Washington is concerned?…Really chalk it up to more corruption……..Christie needs to be be prepared to get a recount after its over…..After all we are talking ACORN the ones who are good at providing advice on how to defraud IRS and how get funds to run a bordelo with 13 year olds. SEIU not much better.

A win for Christie would be so sweet, but by all reports, the SEIU and ACORN are up to their old tricks in New Jersey. Sounds like Afghanistan. They must be guaranteeing a win which is why Obama has stuck his neck out for Corzine.

Will MSM remain silent AGAIN! on ACORN and SEIU’s interference?

“A win for Christie would be so sweet, but by all reports, the SEIU and ACORN are up to their old tricks in New Jersey.”
Oh no was Mickey Mouse registered to vote in New Jersey?
Or perhaps Tony Romo?
Does this last surge of right wing spambots screaming about ACORN show early spin for a Christie defeat or just dog whistle politics looking to drive turnout?

If Christie wins by a small margin you can bet a few thousand absentee ballots will miraculously show up in the trunk of someone’s car.
Enough to give Corzine the win.

Cousin Pookie did you get a call?
Be ready early in the A.M. ACORN/SEIU will be by early to pick you up.

ACORN/SEIU are taking absentee ballots to the hospitals and door to door.
What so you think ACORN will do with those ballots for Corzine?

oops!
I meant what will ACORN do with those ballots for Christie?
Corzine’s ballots will be safe with ACORN.

The highest taxes in the country, the huge deficits, and corruption and New Jersey continues to vote the same party in office.
If they are dumb enough to keep making the same mistake then they deserve Corzine for 4 more years.

That’s a nice picture of two multimillionaires.
One a former Goldman Sach’s executive
and the other a huge beneficiary of Goldman campaign donations.
Both stuffing the pockets of special interest while scr*wing the taxpayers.

Bring it on New Jersey! Can’t wait to vote the jerk out of office finally! I hope I run into some ACORN nuts!

THERE IS A WAR GOING ON IN IRAQ? OH I FORGOT, DURING THE CAMPAIGN OBAMA SAID WE HAD LOST THAT WAR. ALSO, BY HIS INACTION WE ARE ALSO GOING TO LOSE IN AFGHANISTAN – SHADES OF PRES JOHNSON????

The Democrats must feel a sense of relief knowing that ACORN and SEIU will be out on election day–looking out for them.
Even though all taxpayers (whether they want to or not) support those groups.
That’s quite a racket they have going–the Democrats, ACORN/SEIU.

ACORN also fraudulently registered the entire starting lineup of the Dallas Cowboys NFL Team and Mickey Mouse. Shows you what Democrats think of the electoral process. Cheat until you get your almighty power. I suppose with ACORN getting revealed, that is why the Democrats are acting so much like against-the-will-of-the-people-tyrants.

Acorn has lined up thousands of fraudelent voters….but of course the bots will try to lie more and claim it was only a “few.”

Whatever you say must be right . . . right? Like ‘proof’ isn’t necessary is it? Not for the fascist right – proof is not necessary for conviction.
We could use people like you on a jury, to find people guilty without needing to see or provide any solid proof – perfect for a good fascist state.

You think their might be some black pussycats with unloaded guns hanging around the voting booths. Round them up give them some amo. and send them to afganistan.

Corzine said this morning that he feels confident about voter turnout.
I think I know why….

While the waaambulance corps has every right to throw around the bogus vote fraud allegations, those of you outside NJ should know that the GOP in NJ has absolutely no gotv effort.
Christie ran an incredibly sad marketing campaign, and nothing more than that. The average voter in NJ has been contacted more than eight times by the Corzine campaign and its allies, and zero times by Christie.
It is a thousand times more likely that an eligible voter will be denied their rights to vote than it is that someone ineligible to vote will do so. Thats just a plain, indisputable fact.
I don’t blame only the GOP for making it hard for people to vote. Some of the problems that african-americans and latinos have exercising their right to vote comes from local Democratic fiefdoms.
Obama had to bypass alot of these local organizations in his campaign.

And the NJ Dems are recruiting convicted felons to knock on doors.

ACORN is now right wing code for minority.
WashInd: ““I was at a Tea Party, but this is too slow a process for me,” said John Dewitt, a contractor from Adams, N.Y. “I’m more on the violence side. I’m more of the Civil War, revolutionary kind of guy. I’m of the old school–you kick them in the ### and be done with it.”
The Hoffman backers outside of the Biden event all said they’d attended Tea Parties. Some were affiliated with Glenn Beck’s 9/12 Project. All worried that ACORN was going to show up in the district, or even at the Biden event–a paranoia that led to some minor awkwardness when an African-American Hoffman worker walked by.
“This guy’s with ACORN,” said Dewitt.
“Definitely, not from around here,” said businessman Erik Dunk.”

Czar, ex-cons ought to be able to work. After all, they have paid their debt to society. Bush gave them jobs at the State Department, and Murdoch gives them ‘wingnut welfare’ on FOX. Can the Dems do no less?

—How would you like to be a New Jersey police officer and look out your window and see several known criminals, including a man you arrested several weeks ago and another who had just been released from prison for shooting a cop? And then find out that the men were sent into the neighborhood by the Democratic Party for GOTV operations – complete with lists of voters names, addresses and phones numbers!
That is what happened Sunday on a quiet street in Morris Township. The officer, who’s name we are with holding, specifically heard the men discussing that he was a police officer and that they now know where he lives. The officer confronted the men and they took off. He contacted the local police who responded and caught up with them and about a dozen other men a few blocks away. According to the police report, the men were known criminals and when asked why they were in the neighborhood they stated they were “campaigning for the Democratic Party.”
Shockingly, this isn’t the first time New Jersey Democrats have used gang bangers for GOTV. According to this story on PolitickerNJ, the Bloods Street gang stole $6000 from the NJ Democratic State Committee through a check fraud scheme. NJ Democratic Party Chairman Joseph Cryan said “that checks were copied from payments sent out for the party’s 2006 field operation.”—

Cue up the red siren Drudge as we have some “voter intimidation”!
Oh wait….its just right wingers.
” “We’ve gotten reports that people are standing there, covered with Hoffman stickers and yelling anti-choice stuff at voters,” said O’Neill, a St. Lawrence native who has been running the party’s GOTV effort for Bill Owens in NY-23.
“Apparently, there’s some woman claiming to be a commissioner,” O’Neill continued. “Commissioner of what, I don’t know. She’s from Texas, I think, and she won’t leave.”
“This is not the way we roll in the North Country.”‘
Think Drudge will still use the red siren…or post this at all?

The paid trolls are out in force today.
They must have run out of Acorns, because they are using felon gang members to GOTV in NJ today.
Let’s see if abc covers it or removes my comment.
