Funny..the republicans are targeting all this "voter registration fraud" in swing states, yet their own organizations are doing the same exact thing in California and elsewhere for years:

For a good laugh (Part One):
I'm voting Democrat because I believe the government can do a much better job of spending my money than I can.
I'm voting Democrat because freedom of speech should be limited to what offends no one else.
I'm voting Democrat because when we pull out of Iraq I trust that the bad guys will stop what they're doing because they will then realize we're good people after all.
I'm voting Democrat because I don't really believe the radical Muslims want to destroy Israel and kill all the Jews.
I'm voting Democrat because I believe that people who can't tell us for certain whether it will rain three days from now can nevertheless tell us with confidence that the polar ice caps will melt to nothing in 10 years if I don't start driving a Prius.
I'm voting Democrat because I'm not concerned about the slaughter of millions of babies so long as we keep all death row inmates alive.
I'm voting Democrat because I like the idea of using tax money for prison inmate sex-change operations.
I'm voting Democrat because I believe businesses should not be allowed to make profits; they should only break even and give the rest to the government for redistribution as Congress sees fit.
I'm voting Democrat because I believe four or five pointy-headed elitist liberal judges need to rewrite the Constitution every few weeks to suit some fringe kooks who would never get their agendas past the voters.
I'm voting Democrat because I believe that when the terrorists no longer have to fight us over there they'll come here, and I certainly don't want to have any guns in my house to protect myself and my family.
I'm voting Democrat because I love the fact that I can now marry whoever or whatever I want; I've decided to marry my horse.
I'm voting Democrat because I believe oil company profits of 4% on a gallon of gas are obscene but the government taxing the same gallon of gas at 15% isn't.
I'm voting Democrat because I want to eliminate state right to work laws, to make all workers join the union even if they are opposed to the idea.
I'm voting Democrat because the media will then always say good things about the economy and the Administration's handling of it, regardless of whether things are getting better or worse.
I'm voting Democrat because I want to eliminate secret ballots in union elections so union goons and thugs can look over my shoulder as I sign my voting card.
I'm voting Democrat because I believe that when union workers go on strike for $30 per hour their employers shouldn't be allowed to hire other qualified people who are willing to take those jobs for $29 per hour.
I'm voting Democrat because I think taxpayers should give $65 billion per year in "anti-global poverty taxes" to the United Nations for bureaucrats there to distribute as they see fit, because they did such a good job handling the oil for food program.

Jesus, this "voter registartion fraud" thing gets trotted out every election year - and always by the losing side. Look, google "Nathan Sproul" - he was a "GOP operative" who supposedly lead "voter registration fraud" in 5 or so states in 2004. The Dems got all frothy and shit about it and after the election there was an investigation and their apparently wasn't enough evidence to proceed. ACORN will be exactly the same.
Furthermore "voter registration" and "voter fraud" are two different fucking things. It's like applying for a credit card with the name "Mickey Mouse, 1 Magic Kingdom Way, Disneyland". Sending that into a credit card company ain't fraud. If they issue you the card and then you use it, then it's fraud. But in the first case, what are you going to do, sue the post office for delivering fraudulent applications? This whole ACORN is a tempest in a teapot over absolutely nothing - the only difference is that in 2000 and 2004 when the Republicans did it (or were accused of doing it, just like they're accusing the Dems now) it was back page news and was called "sour grapes" by the Repubs/media. Thanks to the rightwing noise machine - FOX news, Limbaugh, Drudge...it becomes headline news on the teevee and in the papers. It's bullshit exactly like "Yellowcake"...
the fact that you get such a hard-on about this means either you're dumb and don't understand what's going on, or you know exactly what's going on and you're being a partisan jackhole about it.

Any organization that hires people and pays them to registers voters will get employees who will inflate their numbers by filling out fake voter registration forms. Do you think Tony Romo is actually going to show up in NV and vote? JazX, you are a fucking mook.
- BS, it goes deeper than that. You think those idealistic, slacker types don't think they are doing it for Obama?********

Do you know what strikes me as odd about america, and I think (touches wood) it's the reason their unrivaled position of Global dominance is diminishing, is that the way in which your politics runs is designed for you to HATE the other side.
It's almost like it's become a sport where winning is everything and getting one over on the otherside is more important that what either side may or may not stand for.
I've been an interested observer with what's going on, and I've come to the conclusion that the US is voting itself into a diminished role in the world. I'd go so far to say that your version of democracy will ultimately destroy the freedoms you've fought for for so long.
You don't seem to care that your manufacturing is falling, your cars are crap, you're distrusted around the globe, you're economy is screwed, and that China is coming up on the outside.
It seems really odd to me that the guy who gets in can be seen as not being 'your president' and that if Obama got in there will be 45% of the country who genuinely hate him.
slightly incoherent argument I know, but one of my books is the wealth if nations that charted the rise and fall of empires and the causes there of.
Almost in every case it was an economic event that no one foresaw and the reason no one foresaw it was because they were often so powerful, that they became introverted and were more concerned with power than maintaining the reason they acquired that power.
Personally I think you're screwed. So much debt now that whoever gets in can only add to that debt to maintain a standard of life that the country thinks it deserves. Ultimately that debt is held by Europe, India, and china, and they all have you by the balls.
Anyway, we lost our empire and an unequally role in the world, screwed it up by being greedy, and we're ok. Sure you'll be fine too.

Poll workers from opposing sides in the presidential race apparently clashed in a physical altercation Friday at a Cuyahoga Falls nursing home when one accused the other of improperly marking a ballot.
George Manos, the 75-year-old Republican, told police that Edith Walker, the 73-year-old Democrat, jumped on his back and struck him in the head three to four times with her fists. Manos said two other elections workers had to pull Walker off his back, according to a report filed with Cuyahoga Falls police.

No, JazX is right. If you come here with anything but a liberal mindset you can expect to be harassed.
