dagrandma . . . call it civic pride if you will . . . i have voted democrat and indepent before . . . Obama''s character is littered with inconsistencies . . . and i''m only doing my little part to spread the word about his affiliation with acorn and the other radical/socialist/marxist ties he is connected to. If you cant see the forest for the trees . . . well your entitled to your opinion, as am I. if you cant respect that then thats your prerogative.

WA 2007 Three ACORN employees pleaded guilty, and four more were charged, in the worst case of voter registration fraud in Washington state history. More than 2,000 fraudulent voter registration cards were submitted by the group during a voter registration drive.

Gettyleigh: "Raymond Carillo, of Hammond, has pleaded guilty to one count of voting in a precinct in which he did not reside, a Class D felony. He is scheduled to be sentenced October 3, the attorney general reported. Carillo was a health inspector with the City of East Chicago when he was charged in August 2006."

Guilty of voting in a precinct in which he did not reside??? OMG!!!!! Guess we''ll have to toss out about a quarter of the ballots next month because the woods are full of people who have moved and didn''t re-register in the right precinct. Let''s throw all those b*a*s*t*a*r*d*s in the slammer!!!!

MARTIAL LAW was declared in the House of Representatives, September 28. Have you heard this in the news? No? This is a fact on the House of Representatives website.

Brad Sherman in the house of Representatives says members of congress were threatened that "There would be martial law in America if we voted no."(on the bailout bill) Have you heard this in the news? No?

kassandrasdu . . . . pleeeeaaaaasssseeee! if you dont have an I.D. card in this country how can you get by? you need an i.d. to drive, to cash a check, to buy beer, to buy cigarettes, you even need an id to get into an r rated movie these days if you look too young. whats the bfd about having an id to vote? i think they should use a thumbprint to verify who you are, and then give you an unmarked ballot. once your thumbprint is in the system . . . you can''t vote twice. of course if you have something to hide . . . then i could see your not wanting to do it. but most everybody has been fingerprinted for something or another anyway . . . in my case the military . . . so its already in the system

promaclaura---asks yourself WHY the BBC reported on American STOLEN elections using VOTER SUPPRESSION schemes by the GOP, but the AMerican news media ONLY seem able to report on voter fraud?
HISTORICALLY, voter identification was done BEFORE election day, by the REGISTRAR of voters who reviewed each application as it came into office. Suddenly we need birth certificates, photo IDs and everyone is in a panic over voter fraud. BUT NO ONE IS DISCUSSING VOTER SUPPRESSION. ID laws have ALREADY been proven to disproportionately affect the elderly and the poor WHO MOSTLY VOTE DEMOCRATIC!
As for Nevada...there have been fewer corrupt states. The Jewish mafia built Vegas on greed and fraud. Why has CBS failed to carry Greg Palast''''s reports? But corruption in Vegas gets front page?

I could care less about what the BBC reports. I expect every voter in this country to PROVE WHO THEY ARE for voting priviledge. Every time I walk in to vote I present verification of who I am. In this day and age of modernization there is no excuse for not getting your identification ready for an election. People had four years to get ready for this election and shame on them for not pursuing this along time ago. Also, the ELDERLY don''t have identification? Very pathetic, and if they can''t vote the blame lays squarely with them.

23.) I Have Released My State Records - NOT EXACTLY, as of March, 2008, state bills you sponsored or voted for have yet to be released, exposing all the special interests pork hidden within.

8.) My School In Indonesia Was Christian - NOT EXACTLY, you were registered as Muslim there and got in trouble in Koranic Studies for making faces (check your own book).
February 28, 2008. Kristoff from the New York Times a year ago: Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent. In a remark that seemed delightfully uncalculated (it''ll give Alabama voters heart attacks), Mr. Obama described the call to prayer as ''one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.'' This is just one example of what Pamela is talking about when she says ''Obama''s narrative is being altered, enhanced and manipulated to whitewash troubling facts.''
9.) I Was Fluent In Indonesian - NOT EXACTLY, not one teacher says you could speak the language.
10.) Because I Lived In Indonesia , I Have More Foreign Experience - NOT EXACTLY, you were there from the ages of 6 to 10, and couldn''t even speak the language. What did you learn, how to study the Koran and watch cartoons.

5.) My Grandmother Has Always Been A Christian - NOT EXACTLY, she does her daily Salat prayers at 5am according to her own interviews. Not to mention, Christianity wouldn''t allow her to have been one of 14 wives to 1 man.
6.) My Name is African Swahili - NOT EXACTLY, your name is Arabic and ''Baraka'' (from which Barack came) means ''blessed'' in that language. Hussein is also Arabic and so is Obama.
Barack Hussein Obama is not half black. If elected, he would be the first Arab-American President, not the first black President. Barack Hussein Obama is 50% Caucasian from his mother''s side and 43.75% Arabic and 6.25% African Negro from his father''s side. While Barack Hussein Obama''s father was from Kenya , his father''s family was mainly Arabs.. Barack Hussein Obama''s father was only 12.5% African Negro and 87.5% Arab (his father''s birth certificate even states he''s Arab, not African Negro). From....and for more....go to.....

7.) I Never Practiced Islam - NOT EXACTLY, you practiced it daily at school, where you were registered as a Muslim and kept that faith for 31 years, until your wife made you change, so you could run for office.
4-3-08 Article ''Obama was ''quite religious in islam'''' http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=60559

1.) Selma March Got Me Born - NOT EXACTLY, your parents felt safe enough to have you in 1961 - Selma had no effect on your birth, as Selma was in 1965. (Google''Obama Selma '' for his full March 4, 2007 speech and articles about its various untruths.)
2.) Father Was A Goat Herder - NOT EXACTLY, he was a privileged, well educated youth, who went on to work with the Kenyan Government.
3.) Father Was A Proud Freedom Fighter - NOT EXACTLY, he was part of one of the most corrupt and violent governments Kenya has ever had.
4.) My Family Has Strong Ties To African Freedom - NOT EXACTLY, your cousin Raila Odinga has created mass violence in attempting to overturn a legitimate election in 2007, in Kenya . It is the first widespread violence in decades. The current government is pro-American but Odinga wants to overthrow it and establish Muslim Sharia law. Your half-brother, Abongo Oba ma, is Odinga''s follower. You interrupted your New Hampshire campaigning to speak to Odinga on the phone. Check out the following link for verification of that....and for more.
Obama''s cousin Odinga in Kenya ran for president and tried to get Sharia muslim law in place there. When Odinga lost the elections, his followers have burned Christians'' homes and then burned men, women and children alive in a Christian church where they took shelter.. Obama SUPPORTED his cousin before the election process here started. Google Obama and Odinga and see what you get. No one wants to know the truth.

To vote, all that is needed is proof of identification, a very simple concept. The strange thing is the groups that fight this, and say it is suppression. How lame an arguement, simply put, if you want to vote prove who you are and make an effort to have that identification before you go.

kassandrasdu . . . . . wrong! The Nevada authorities spearheading the investigation, Miller and Attorney General Catherine Cortez Masto, are both Democrats.
