"Rasmussen polls say obama will win this election by having 79% of the vote. If this is true and McCain starts litigation to contest the win,you will see riots in the streets that will make the Watts riot, the 1967 Dtroit riot and the Rodney King Riots look like weenie roasts."


You''ll see that same thing happen if Obama WINS. They''ll be "happy" riots with "happy" looting and "happy" fires.

I would think that the Hillary Clinton supporters would be most upset with this tactic. Aren''t these shenanigans why she lost in the primary to Senator Obama?

The real fraud is Calling Mccain a War hero
He was not!!!

Here''s a Republican you tube video
that discusses Mccain''s collaboration
with the Viet Cong--
He betrayed his Country!!!
He was in 32 of their video''s--
And was the only Senator blocking the release of the Pentagon papers that would potentially incriminate him!!!
These are Republican''s discussing him!!!

So much for Putting Country First!!!

This sounds more like an employer/employee issue here. Why is the GOP pushing their way into a matter like this?

It doesn''t matter if a million people are improperly registered with bogus forms,
it doesn''t have a single thing to do with what happens at the polls.
If somebody fills out a registration card with false infomation like Micky Mouse with a residence listed as Disneyland, are you afraid that Micky Mouse would go and try to cast a ballot?

It was also illegal to compromise Sarah Palin''s e-mail wasn''t it?
Oh yes, I had forgotten Rezko. Wasn''t that the dirty housing scam Rezko and Obama were in together? Substandard housing; after all Hillary and Bill had done FOR the poor people. Would never have voted for Bill, but I would have voted Hillary. Wait, she was a racist? wow!

I would now like to enumerate what has now been proven about Obama (we''re up to seven known facts / I welcome more contributions). He is: 1) a terrorist who, at the age of 8, was already an organizing member of the Weathermen; 2) a member of the Rezko crime family of the Chicago mafia; 3) a Marxist-Leninist who believed in regulating and nationalizing banks even before Bush did; 4) the head of a vast voter fraud conspiracy that uses acorns in order to trick squirrels into illegally stuffing ballot boxes with ballots filled out by Mexicans living and working illegally in Mexico; 5) the simultaneous reincarnation of both Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden [besides the obvious connections with Obama''s surname and middle name, did you ever wonder why Obama started to go up in the polls right after we hanged Saddam?]; 6) the anti-Christ [did you ever wonder why global warming (i.e. Hell on Earth), which is by the way not actually really happening, started to become a major issue just as Obama started to go up in the polls]; 7) an alien who will swoop down from the sky and suck out your brains. Am I leaving anything out? It is of paramount importance that this list be complete if we are to make sure that Americans really KNOW who Obama is. I sure hope Steve Schmidt is paying attention and makes sure a comprehensive factual advertisement is put out before Americans get duped!

Is this your way of saying you cannot defend her corruption except by claiming everyone does it, and that you presume all persons are corrupt?

Palin on the other hand - violated important ethics rules that say you don''t use your office for petty personal grievances or revenge, and was found to have violated those rules by an overwhelmingly REPUBLICAN committee.

Her behavior is illegal, and making her employee do the same crimes is especially reprehensible. Your claim that everyone does it is not a defense. Its an indictment. She claims the high moral ground. That''s not true of her.
And for your info, if anyone does that behavior in a federal agency, they are fired and lose their retirement. It is not common in the federal workplace.
It probably IS common in small states where the attorney general is of the same party. That''s Alaska. She would be impeached if she were in New York.

How does 17 copies of the same name have any impact on the election? They''ll only be able to vote once. And made up names and addresses that don''t exist - those as well have no impact on the election. All any of this is is the usual crooked registration person trying to make more money! ACORN is the victim of this fraud, since they are paying for valid registrations, and getting worthless phoney ones.

This happens every time - paid petition signature gatherers fake names to get more money, etc. And it happens to both political parties. A little bit ago, there was a program where a REPUBLICAN in California offered $5.00 for every party change document filled out where a Democrat switched to a Republican. When the people who supposedly signed those papers were checked on - guess what! They had no idea they''d been switched. Corrupt little signature gatherers had just covered up the form''s true purpose, and gotten their signature that way, to scam some more money out.

It happens on both sides, it''s not a threat to our voting system, since the voters aren''t real, and the victim of the scam is ACORN, or the person offering the money.

the "troopergate" issue is a crock of nothing. Quit trying to make it a bigger deal than it is. That''''s peanut gallery stuff.

watch the polling of Palin''s negatives this week. You''ll see how the public rates her low-life behavior. She broke actual laws. Thats not claiming some vague association like ACORN or Ayers. ACORN Is not an OBAMA group. They have been around for years. The attempt to link B.H O to the Acorn issues or even to Ayers''s deeds fails utterly.

Palin did actually do the crimes she is found guilty of by the alaska Senate.
It is not a debate. She broke specific laws. If she wanted a debate she should have given testimony and ALLOWED her employees to give testimony.

She can allow her employees to give testimony at the next hearing about her abuse of power in the Yahoo case of hiding her work by using a private email system instead of the state system with security and backups. No backups and you get the Cheney IRAQ war email syndrome/lie. That''s where someone subpoenas her work and she ''loses'' the emails.

DOUCMENTS AND VIDEO PROVE PALIN IGNORES SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE!!!! Sarah Palin''''s own records and video show her at her Wasilla Assemblies of God church promising church members that she will do all she can to inject God into the government. What the congregation and other taxpayers did not know--is that the plane trip, hotel and expenses to Wasilla were paid for by the taxpayer as Palin charged the entire trip to government expenses.

Wow, stay tuned Sarah--you are in the big leagues now--and you can''''t hide behind moose dressing or a misunderstanding--no respect for the law, no respect for the Constitution...when this is over, you may wish YOU were Bill Ayers.

the moral crime of Palin revealed in the report is that she pushed her employees to break the law too. Imagine being a worker, forced to break the law. Palin has a 2nd case against her and in that one she is being charged with requiring her workers to break the law too. In that one they were being made to use Yahoo to subvert the laws of Freedom of Information. By not using the state email system, Palin avoided Native Americans and Sierra club and any other group requests to understand how the governor''s office deals with such issues as oil, timber, fisheries and the needs of the people generally. Her intention to avoid all public oversight is evil in person. And to deny her workers the right to serve the people is particularly low.

And she says, she didnt abuse her power. She doesnt deserve the VP position because her will to win is overwhelming her morals. Deny, deny and lie. That''s not moral, that''s Cheney politics.

A national election must have the highest standard of authenticity. Extending the voter fraud typical in Chicago elections to all of America is a national disgrace.

To msa123

After 8 long years of misery and oppression, lied into a war for oil profits where a million humans have lost their lives, where an American president illegaly spied on Americans, where an American president outed a CIA agent for political gain, when every consumer and environmental safety standard has been eroded for profit, where in the name of protecting us (haha) our rights and liberties have been stolen, where the U.S. Treasury has been gutted for the benefit of the Bush/Cheney crime syndicate cronies:

Any change, would, by definition, be for the better.

Only someone suffering from "beaten dog syndrome" or its human equivalent, would be afraid of the change to lift us up from the pit of hell to which the Rep''s have tried to confine us.

Branchflower wrote that %u201Calthough Walt Monegan%u2019s refusal to fire Trooper Michael Wooten was not the sole reason he was fired by Governor Sarah Palin, it was likely a contributing factor to his termination.%u201D
The report dismissed the Palins%u2019 public assertions that they feared Wooten.
%u201CI conclude that such claims of fear were not bona fide and were offered to provide cover for Palin%u2019s real motivation: to get Trooper Wooten fired for personal family-related reasons,%u201D Branchflower wrote.

Branchflower specifically found that %u201CGovernor Sarah Palin abused her power by violating Alaska Statute 39.52.110(a) of the Alaska Executive Branch Ethics Act.%u201D

That part of the act provides that %u201Ceach public officer holds office as a public trust, and any effort to benefit a personal or financial interest through official action is a violation of that trust.%u201D

Branchflower also found that Palin improperly allowed her husband to use state resources to pressure Monegan.

I''m always amazed at the braindead comments from the least informed segment of the population, the blind sheeple followers of hate and deciept that has been the hallmark of the last 8 years of Rethuglican policy.

With every hate filled post the rest of us understand you folks will never learn and we will simply have to learn to tolerate your ignorant ways.

We will take some comfort in knowing the right wing neonuts are almost done and no longer hold any credibilty.

Witness the rise and return of true American values.

Go Obama Go.
