NEWS: Republican Scumbaggery

Since the last federal election in 2006, volunteers like Graham combined with the enthusiasm generated by the Obama-Clinton struggle to add more than 2 million Democrats to voter rolls in the 28 states that register voters according to party affiliation. The Republicans have lost nearly 344,000 voters in the same states.

Lake County Republican Chairman John Curley wants a federal investigation into hundreds of voter registrations bearing fictitious signatures or the names of dead and underage people.

"Fraudulent applications are the workings of ACORN groups operating from Milwaukee and Chicago who are getting out the vote for Obama. I'm Republican, but I want everyone who should vote to vote. But I want a clean election," Curley said at a Wednesday news conference.

Curley acknowledges the work of the county elections board to weed out obviously invalid applications.

Instead, their office was raided Tuesday morning by agents of the Nevada Secretary of State and Attorney General who alleged in an application for a search warrant that ACORN had hired 59 felons through a work release program as canvassers and submitted nearly 300 apparently fraudulent voter registration cards as part of the drive.

ACORN's internal checks, Mellor said, included tracking forms assigned to canvassers using serial numbers and worker sign-offs on each form and following up with listed voters by phone to verify they had taken part in the registration drive. The search warrant mentions those procedures.

That cooperation and meetings with state officials also are mentioned in the search affidavit, as is a subpoena from the state that was delivered to ACORN in September asking the group to resubmit information on several employees it had previously turned over to county elections officials. The forms were resubmitted, Mellor said.

The submitted voter cards included addresses and names that do not exist in Nevada, duplicate registrations, names culled from telephone books and names of Dallas Cowboys players, an investigator for the Secretary of State alleged in his affidavit for a search warrant.

One ex-employee of ACORN reached by the state investigator told him she began making up names for her forms on days when it was too hot to work outside. ACORN canvassers are paid by the hour.

In July, the two Nevada state agencies involved in the raid, along with the FBI and U.S. Attorney's Office for Nevada, formed a task force to target voter registration and election fraud and complaints over voter registration practices, potential voter fraud, and enforcement of laws regarding voter intimidation.

The chairman of the Republican Party in Macomb County, Michigan, a key swing county in a key swing state, is planning to use a list of foreclosed homes to block people from voting in the upcoming election as part of the state GOP’s effort to challenge some voters on Election Day.

“We will have a list of foreclosed homes and will make sure people aren’t voting from those addresses,” party chairman James Carabelli told Michigan Messenger in a telephone interview earlier this week. He said the local party wanted to make sure that proper electoral procedures were followed.

Yet another shady associate of Obama is in trouble with the law. Probably just a coincidence.

Mr. Raymond has now written a book about his experiences, %u201CHow to Rig an Election: Confessions of a Republican Operative.%u201D In it, he paints a picture of the corruption of modern politics that should leave no doubt about the creativity and cynicism of operatives like Mr. Raymond or the need for tough new election-reform legislation.

Mr. Raymond, whose great-grandfather founded the Underwood Typewriter Company, was a privileged kid drawn to politics at a young age. He moved from small campaigns to larger ones, eventually working for the Republican National Committee and the National Republican Senatorial Committee.

It was a world in which, he claims, dirty tricks were the norm. When Mr. Raymond opened a political telemarketing firm, he was hired by a Republican challenging a New Jersey Democratic congressman. Mr. Raymond%u2019s company %u2014 in a plan he says he hatched with the challenger%u2019s advisers %u2014 called liberal Democrats and urged them to vote for the Green Party candidate.

Those same advisers, he says, gave Mr. Raymond another assignment: to call white households asking them to vote for the Democrat, using the voice of, as he puts it, a %u201Cghetto black guy.%u201D He also called union households, using voices with thick Spanish accents.

No one is suggesting that Mr. Sununu knew anything about the phone jamming. Mr. Raymond says his instructions came from James Tobin, the northeast regional director of the Republican National Committee. And he says a top official of the New Hampshire Republican Party provided the phone numbers of the Democratic get-out-the-vote banks. Mr. Raymond jammed the lines %u2014 placing hundreds of hang-up calls an hour %u2014 to five Democratic offices across the state and a phone bank run by volunteer firefighters.

80,000, 300, uh…that's .003%. Holy shit! Put them in jail! And ignore the fact that the system is set up to catch problems like this! And ignore the fact that 79,9700 people were

I know I'm a retarded racist asshole for pointing this out, but 80,000 - 300 equals 79,700 not 799,700.

Pay no attention to the bullshit ACORN has pulled. Pay no attention to their contribution to the housing fiasco. Pay no attention to Jimmy Carter and the democratic congress' MAJOR contribution to this clusterfuck through CRA, nor to Mr. Raines, a Carter advisor close to CRI, Clinton's U.S. Office of Management and Budget chief when the administration started aggressively enforcing compliance while Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae bought bundled mortgages they knew were bad then proceeded to sell them to other countries. Ignore that Raines is a very tight Obama insider who was in charge of the VP selection team, who walked way from the meltdown at Freddie Mac with a $91.1 million dollar wad of cash, many millions of which were gained through cooking the books. Forget that ACORN was in the thick of it, with Obama as their legal counsel.

What a moronic bunch of propaganda from FTR. But then that's all he knows.
