I had to turn it off too.  The awful thing is, if Obama does win, these guys will never give him a chance.  They will wake up on November 5th bleating about Acorn and vote fraud and stolen elections, and even if he does an amazing job and somehow pulls out miracles from all the crap he's going to be left with, none of these folks will give him an ounce of credit for it.

Registering fraudulent voters doesn't mean a damn thing unless you can get their votes.

It's only been a few isolated cases but this serves the GOP in that they get to point fingers and direct the attention away from their own voter fruad and intimidation practices.

so true. i'm just starting the movie "Uncounted," which is a documentary about registration and voter fraud. Spout sent it to me to review. Once thing is for sure. There have always been shenanigans at the polling place, almost always operating on low-income and minority voters.

There is incontrovertible evidence in the Lascaux cave drawings that in one of the annual cave elections, the Neanderthals stole some of the clubs used in the voting and thus soundly defeated the Cro-Magnons. The Neanderthal who was elected started some unnessary wars, flubbed local aid after the neighborhood volcano erupted, and caused the cave-dwelling population in general to seriously rethink the whole business of voting-with-clubs technology.

But I wish the public could, in the midst of its pleasures, see how blatantly it is being spoon-fed, and ask for slightly better dreams.

It's so rich that Sarah Palin is implying that Obama is a socialist.  Alaska is the only state I know of that writes checks to every man, woman, and child from the Oil Permanent Fund.  Doesn't that spread the wealth?
