From ACORN grow mighty OAFS.

If it wasn't so tragic it would be funny.

MORONS.

Screw it, Im tired of the stupid sh!7 from both campaigns. Im back to my original plan, NObama, No McSame.

Voting Libertarian Party for POTUS and, AIP for everything else.

When we were relocated to SoCal four years ago I wanted to register to vote. There was a stand outside the grocery store. I asked if I could register even though I as yet had nothing to show I lived in California.

No problem.

I began filing out the paperwork. I checked Independent. The man working the registration told me no, I had to register as Republican. I told him I had been registered to vote since my 18th birthday and had never registered for any party.

He replied he would not get paid unless I registered as a Republican.

I guess he did not get paid.

Later I saw in the news some fuss about it.

Shenanigans in voter registration is as old as dirt and is not the sole preserve of any party!

But when you are desparate....

Any party paying people to try and register FIRST time voters? No problem.

Paying people to register people, multiple times? Dead people? Felons? Not so much.

Mickey Mouse? Come on. LOL At least put SOME effort into it.

ETA - I do agree with you however that voter registration fraud is not the domain of any one party. All the more reason to wipe the slate clean!!! Vote for ANYbody other than either of these clowns. Send the message that we are done with the parties dividing us.

Puckstop, I know you said in at least one other thread that you were voting for neither of the major candidates. Thought you might enjoy reading THIS. Lead editorial in my local Sunday paper. This newspaper is normally on the very liberal side, so this surprised me.

Excellent article Grace. Thank you for sharing. It pretty well sums up just about everything.

Add to that Obama's disdain for individual liberties that get in the way of his agenda and McCain's age, coupled with a poor choice for a running mate...

Yikes...

Like the article says, whoever wins, I hope he proves us wrong.

Grace, here is a well considered & thoughtful editorial endorsement
that I was happily surprised to read. It complements both sides, but does
make a thoughtful choice. IMO.

Thanks for the link. I had heard on the news that they had endorsed Obama, but had not had the opportunity to read it.

Whoa...now that's a bit much. I think that would make me want to register for the other party! Hopefully he got in trouble for that one. Guess I should be glad that I registered to vote in the computer era, where I was able to do it online.

There was a bit of a fuss in the newspaper for a while about how voter registration was being done but I don't think anything came of it. That is just how things are done here in SoCal I guess!

Voter registration fraud is quite different then voter fraud. Nobody really
expects Mickey Mouse to actually show up to vote do they?
