In the inverview with his family, even his daughters clearly preferred their mother and made fun of "daddy" talking all the time. <BR/><BR/>Or, if what many believe to be true and he is gentle, respretful and dignified, he would do well convince some that he is not "too" any of these qualities and will therefore "cave" like the Dems have done for the last eight years.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11636447.post-15824306557039562092008-10-01T22:10:00.000-04:002008-10-01T22:10:00.000-04:00Andy - Did you see the Quinipec poll today?

But as we keep seeing, throughout the primaries and now the election, is that is not Obama's style. He seduces people by being gentle, respectful, and dignified. We have all forgotten what that looks like in the last couple of decades. But it is calming and reassuring to the undecided voters who are the folks he is now aiming at--not us. Leave him be. McCain helped dig his own grave Friday night. Many people take away an impression from these debates--not policy nuances. And the impression was overwhelming--Obama-personable, engaging, clear and focused, McCain-rude, rigid, rambling. I think that is what is behind the big poll number swing. Hopefully, it will stay that way. McCain is not likable. Obama definitely is and Americans respond to that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11636447.post-53457374885621331242008-10-01T16:39:00.000-04:002008-10-01T16:39:00.000-04:00and the Democraps that blocked those bills were wr...and the Democraps that blocked those bills were wrong because we are now $700 billion in the hole.<BR/><BR/>I'd rather have private oversight, where they are paid to find corruption. <BR/><BR/>Instead, the Democraps blocked reform so Chris Dodd, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and John Kerry could lead Congress in campaign contributions from these bastard companies.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11636447.post-58892405125423569692008-10-01T16:31:00.000-04:002008-10-01T16:31:00.000-04:00anon @1013why dont you read those bills that the d...anon @1013<BR/><BR/>why dont you read those bills that the dems blocked, instead of taking the word of mccain?<BR/><BR/>it was a bill to privatize the oversight<BR/><BR/>putting the foxes in charge of the hen house is not a solution<BR/><BR/>you dickAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11636447.post-82038045134193735272008-10-01T12:42:00.000-04:002008-10-01T12:42:00.000-04:00I'm a Democrat and I can't take it anymore.

Former ACORN Miami-Dade field director Mac Stuart has declared an intent to sue ACORN and has made charges of rampant voter fraud operations. Stuart was employed and specifically tasked by ACORN to generate 103,000 new voter registrations from Dade County. He reports that ACORN threw out Republican registrations while paying for Democratic ones. Stuart also charges that ACORN targeted ex-cons and that he personally set up registration tables outside the Miami police department and Dade County jail.<BR/><BR/>New Mexico<BR/>Sept. 18, 2008, Judicial Watch Blog<BR/>This week officials in New Mexico's most populous county (Bernalillo) notified federal authorities that more than 1,000 fraudulent voter registration cards were submitted to the clerk's office. ACORN, which pays workers for each registration, is the prime suspect since it has handled thousands of new voter registrations in New Mexico since January. County workers subsequently discovered that at least 1,100 new registrations list Social Security numbers for people already in the county's database of registered voters, names of registered voters with different birth dates and addresses that don't exist.<BR/><BR/>Wisconsin<BR/>Aug. 6, 2008, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel<BR/>Criminal investigations could be launched against at least six voter registration workers who tried to add dead, imprisoned or imaginary people to the voter rolls, according to the Milwaukee Election Commission and the organization that employed them. "One woman called us to complain because her husband has been dead for 10 years and a voter registration was submitted," Edman said. In about 12 cases, deputy registrars paid by ACORN were "making people up or registering people that were still in prison," said Carolyn Castore, ACORN's state political director. And in other cases, workers used the same address for numerous voters or used driver's license numbers that did not fit the voters' birth dates, Edman said. But most of the fraud involved submitting duplicate cards for voters who were already registered, and forging the voters' signatures, Castore said.<BR/><BR/>Ohio<BR/>August 27, 2008, The Plain Dealer<BR/>A national organization that conducts voter registration drives for low-income people has curtailed its push in Cuyahoga County after the Board of Elections accused its workers of submitting fraudulent registration cards. Board employees said ACORN workers often handed in the same name on a number of voter registration cards, but showing that person living at different addresses. Other times, cards had the same name listed, but a different date of birth. Still another sign of possible fraud showed a number of people living at an address that turned out to be a restaurant. ACORN has submitted about 75,000 voter registration cards to the Cuyahoga board this year.<BR/><BR/>Pennsylvania<BR/>Sept. 18, 2008, The Bulletin: Philadelphia's Family Newspaper<BR/>A community organization, with longstanding ties to Barack Obama, has, according to numerous reports, repeatedly run afoul of voter registration laws both locally and nationally.
