ObaCORN Round-up

Fausta has all the links on Obama and his ACORN ties he's, surprise, surprise - now trying to hide, or lie about.

Nothing new there for him. He lies about everything and the media doesn't even care.

He's black and deserves a pass. I guess affirmative action has arrived - if America actually wants to elect a president based on it.

How could you call yourselves journalists MSM?

Wow, now Acorn is going under the bus too!

Better get some bigger tires on that rig!

Just more of the same MSM free pass for the god king Xerxes.

Nothing to see here, move along!

[templar knight]

True, seek, true. But those rotten corpes will be resurrected just as soon as Obama wins the Presidency, I guarantee you that. He will need the useless idiots to do his dirty work.

Meanwhile, excuse me while I go sharpen my Gerber, and I don't mean baby food.

John McCain's transition head was a lobbyist for Saddam Hussein, therefore John McCain has poor judgement and is killing our soldiers in Iraq.

Can we start calling him Saddam McCain, now? Saddam McCain is a TERRORIST!!!!! Who is the real Saddam McCain?

[TexasFred]

We have had to put up with affirmative action for far too long, NOW, it dictates the office of the POTUS... Sad...

Completely off the subject but I can't resist posting this - he certainly doesn't know how the stock market works

"I haven't looked at all the details of his capital gains proposal. I will tell you that nobody one really has capital gains right now – so if the idea is the cut capital gains taxes, when I don’t know anybody, even the smartest investors who right now are going to be experiencing a lot of capital gains. That probably is not going to be particularly useful in solving the financial crisis. But I will review the plan and I’m sure that Sen. McCain will have more to say about it tomorrow."

[Worst President Ever]

Fear not TexasFred, McCain, the affirmative action candidate who got into Annapolis thanks to his father who was a Navy admiral, isn't getting elected. It's going to be Obama - magna cum laude graduate of Harvard Law School.

[mary]

WPE, could you tell me where I can see a copy of that diploma and see that Magna cum laude seal? TIA

[Worst President Ever]

Obama's got the diploma - it's his. Are you trying to claim Obama DIDN'T graduate from Havard Law?

[jaime]

"I can see a copy of that diploma and see that Magna cum laude seal?"

Did you demand to see Bush's school records when he ran? McCain's? Of course not?

Why the need to see Obama's? Did you ask the "colored lady" friend of yours her educational credentials since in your painfully out of touch world, a black person who excels over a white one HAS to be the product of affirmative action.

Conservatism as you know it is dying a horrible death and it's vanguard John McCain is getting the snot knocked out of him. It's not because of a byzantine George Soros/William Ayers/Bill Daly/Osama Bin Laden/ACORN/MSM conspiracy. It's because McCain sucks and the country is sick of your right wing pig ilk.

[jaime]

"Are you trying to claim Obama DIDN'T graduate from Havard Law?"

They don't know what they're trying to claim. They're desperately trying to fling spaghetti on a wall because at some point they'll be left with no other recourse than to shout, "BUT HE'S A N*GGER!!!!" at the top of their lungs"

Of coure, we're all ready seeing such pathetic displays at PALIN/mccain rallies nationwide.

[mary]

No one questioned Bush or McCain's credentials since everything was right out there and they didn't try to hide it.

[mary]

I'm not claiming anything but I have to tell you, when someone appears like they don't want people to know about them then the natural response is real curiosity.

[jaime]

"When someone appears like they don't want people to know about them "

He wrote TWO MEMOIRS!!! What more do you need? Did you read the books? Of course not. Why do you think he's hiding his grades? Why does he have to prove his GPA to some insane nutbag who think he's a Muslim terrorist when said whackjob is not asking to see his opponents school records? And what are you asking from him? That he come to your house and hand you his original college transcript personally? His well documented resume isn't enough for you?

[North Dallas Thirty]

And especially since the Obama campaign is demanding that Sarah Palin undergo a DNA test and produce full hospital records to prove that Trig Palin is her son.

No worries, though. Now that people are finding out what Barack Obama endorsed and supported being taught in public schools, matters are cleaning up.

"Carruthers admits that Africans living in America have already been shaped by Western culture, yet compares this Americanization process to rape: “We may not be able to get our virginity back after the rape, but we do not have to marry the rapist....” In other words, American blacks (i.e. Africans) may have been forcibly exposed to American culture, but that doesn’t mean they need to accept it. The better option, says Carruthers, is to separate out and relearn the wisdom of Africa’s original Kemetic culture, embodied in the teachings of the ancient wise man, Ptahhotep (an historical figure traditionally identified as the author of a Fifth Dynasty wisdom book). Anything less than re-Africanization threatens the mental, and even physical, genocide of Africans living in an ineradicably white supremacist United States.

Carruthers is a defender of Leonard Jeffries, professor in the department of black studies at City College in Harlem, infamous for his black supremacist and anti-Semitic views. Jeffries sees whites as oppressive and violent “ice people,” in contrast to peaceful and mutually supportive black “sun people.” The divergence says Jeffries, is attributable to differing levels of melanin in the skin. Jeffries also blames Jews for financing the slave trade. Carruthers defends Jeffries and excoriates the prestigious black academics Carruthers views as traitorous for denouncing their African brother, Jeffries. Carruthers’s vision of the superior and peaceful Kemetic philosophy of Ptahhotep triumphing over Greco-Euro-American-white culture obviously parallels Jeffries’ opposition between ice people and sun people."

Remember, Barack Obama claimed that he personally approved everything that happened during the Annenberg Challenge and reviewed the curriculum; after all, it was part of his "executive experience".

Excuse me, CEASE AND DESIST, never in any posting have I ever said anything you are claiming in the above post. So can it buster.

All I did was say that I would like to see his diploma and that I have read that it is difficult to find anything out about him and that makes people really curious.

[Worst President Ever]

"And especially since the Obama campaign is demanding that Sarah Palin undergo a DNA test and produce full hospital records to prove that Trig Palin is her son."

BS, Obama's done no such thing.

[seekeronos]

"--- It's not because of a byzantine George Soros/William Ayers/Bill Daly/Osama Bin Laden/ACORN/MSM conspiracy. It's because McCain sucks and the country is sick of your right wing pig ilk. ---"

Actually, it is mostly to due with the Byzantine schemings of the financial and media elites, along with some dime-store Chicago political hacks.

McCain's suckiness as a candidate certainly isn't helping him out though.

As for the country being "sck of right wing pig ilk", I hardly think that the average Joe is in bed with far left "progressive" causes like yourself.

Seriously...? What are the ratings for Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow outside of Kossacks, hyperliberal proggies and self-styled coastal elites? Even my father, a FDR/Truman Democrat, finds Olbermann to be a little more than a hate-filled hack.

If this country hands itself by huge margins into the awful, cold, baby-smothering hands of the crypto-Marxists... it is because they average voter is woefully mis-informed or under-informed, being suckered in by the MSM.

I hate to be a downer on the average American voter... but we aren't the brightest lights in the store for the most part: we are being lulled and conned by a professional snake-oil salesman who woos us with the sweet siren strains of socialism and massive welfare programmes whose legacy is that of that Great Society loser, Lyndon Baines Johnson.

This, and on top of an economy that is in deep trouble? The low information voters will turn out in droves, just as they did for Clinton, and Carter before him.

It is also noteworthy that the 1992 recession which I recall had a disproportionate effect upon real estate... was hardly a pinch on what is shaping up now.

TWO memoirs, did you say?

How very presumptuous for a man with an otherwise comparatively empty resume, at the tender age of 47, to have not just ONE, but TWO memoirs.

Granted, the man is smart, but what has he accomplished outside of voting "present" in the majority of his senate votes, and being a communist [1] and/or a democratic-socialist [2] community action agitator.

V.I. Lenin was also a rather smart guy too (dude had an ENORMOUS cranium)... but look what his legacy cost the Russian and related peoples in the former Soviet Union.

Now I might be inclined to accept Obama's claim to a JD+McL from HSL (try saying that five times very fast!) at face value, but given Obama's extreme secretiveness vs. McCain's relative openness about his records (granted, his education at USNA is a matter of public record)... it is not at all out of place to question Obama's records for such a relative unknown.

Bush / Cheney have run the country for the last eight years. Average Joe has seen his wages stagnate while energy prices have gone through the roof. At the same time, for those that actually have a bank accout, investments, 401ks, and / or pensions, those have been put at risk. Then there's rising unemployment, a burgeoning deficit. And fiscal conservative Bush just started nationalizing the banking system - who are the Socialists here? - so it doesn't collapse. Then there's the incompetence of Iraq and Katrina. So yeah, I think Average Joe understands fine what's going on and who bears the majority of the blame and where to put his vote to fix the mess Bush / Cheney are about to leave behind.

Your paranoid nightmare's about to come true, Seek. Say hello to President Barack Hussein Obama.

[templar knight]

"Say hello to President Barack Hussein Obama."

Doubtful. And the massive voter fraud being committed by Democrats is now coming out and the average Joe is fed up with this crap. You liberals and your sucky allies have attempted to destroy our democracy, and you're going to lose, Worst. And I'm going to laugh at your stupidity. You cheating bastards are going to jail, which is where you belong.

[templar knight]

I see your game is up in Ohio, Worst. That thing you call a Secretary of State is going to be forced to do her job, although she's already done everything she could to taint the process in Ohio. That bitch ought to be jailed, along with all those ACORN thugs who helped her. Nothing short of a complete overthrow of our democracy will satisfy these criminals who are Obama friends and confidants.

[Worst President Ever]

Actually, it's Republicans that have the history of voter abuse - they really, really hate it when poor folks vote. They just indicted a republican the other day - http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/docs/Tobin-indictment/ for REAL vote fraud. Not some trumped up BS about voter regulations - not even the real thing.

The ACORN push by conservatives simply reflects their desperation. They can't win on the issues, have a lousy candidate running a lousy campaign. So it's no longer about who's the better man to be run our country because they know, absolutely positively they lose that one - it's about sliming him with anything and everything. Must make all you conservatives proud to know how morally bankrupt your movement's become.

Cry me a river of crocodile tears.

[seekeronos]

"--- Your paranoid nightmare's about to come true, Seek. Say hello to President Barack Hussein Obama. ---"

Nightmare? Well, for American civil liberties and personal liberty, it shall certainly be no less frightful than the injurious, incremental loss of liberty I have seen done to my fair republic thus far.

But as a wise king once said... "this too, shall pass".

I shall agree that Obama's selection as President is all but written in stone. However, I shan't vote for him, insofar as my vote still remains as a record of my vote of no-confidence in Obama.

Sadly, I wish that it were also a vote of confidence in McCain, and I regret that I will not have a chance to cast a vote for Dr. Ron Paul as the (R) candidate to be my President.

HOWEVER, even if Obama shall receive the anointing of the Lord (for it is truly impossible for anyone to achieve office unless the Lord permits it) - I shall rejoice: let God's will be done.

May this time of judgment and discipline be sufficient to bring back many backsliders to repent and return to the household of obedience and faith in Christ, and may many unbelievers' hearts be convicted by the Holy Spirit unto repentance, as they learn that Obama is a false hope and a shoddy excuse for a "messiah".

And Jesus reminds those of us who call upon His Name, which is blessed forever - that our kingdom is not of this world: He is our Hope, our sun and our shield (Psalm 84:11 - paraph.), not a false hope of breakable dreams and unbridled ambition of proud men, but the True Hope of Salvation - a hope like an anchor steadfast and sure (Hebrews 6:19 - paraph.)

[North Dallas Thirty]

No, WPE, we hate it when poor folks register and vote multiple times. Same with dead people and other ineligible voters.

Mainly because that's against the law, despite your desperate attempts to try to convince us otherwise.

The lawyer Barack Obama is desperately trying to argue that false voter registrations are not a crime, mainly because he has been paying the organization that has been making them.

[BobinStamford]

Dear Patriots,

No one cares about 40 year old terrorism cases or mickey mouse registering to vote in Ohio. The economy is in the toilet and the angry old man has no plan - just like his clone GWB and, therefore, is set for a humiliating defeat on 11/4.

My fellow prisoners, thank you all for your service.

[Worst President Ever]

No, the Republicans hate poor folk voting. They do everything possible to stop them from registering, passing stringent laws to weed out the poor and uneducated, then, if that fails, intimidate them at the polls. They use their BS claim of "voter fraud" to challenge and intimidate legal voters. They wanted to challenge everyone with a foreclosed home in Michigan but got caught. In Indiana 10 nuns, all over 80, were denied the right to vote because their drivers licenses had expired.

Less then 10 voters are found to have voted fraudulently each year. Out of something like 180 million. Some crisis.

Again, cry me a river of crocodile tears.

North Dallas Thirty - again WHO PAYS YOU for posting here.

[templar knight]

Worst, you're a bullshit liar. The governor's race in Washington was stolen by voter fraud in the last election. And the Presidential race in Wisconsin was likely stolen as well. Even your bullshit media is reporting on the massive voter fraud in Ohio and other states. You're full of shit, and you know it. Go peddle your bullshit somewhere else, you moron!

[templar knight]

More and more voter fraud coming out in Ohio, as activists in a group called Vote From Home who never had residence in Ohio apparently registered and voted illegally. Prosecute and jail the crooks who are trying to destroy our democracy.

From Voter ID to Proof of Citizenship:

The State of Missouri may adopt a state constitutional amendment requiring proof of citizenship for voting. As the New York Times reports, the stated purpose of this requirement is to prevent voting by illegal immigrants and other non-citizens.

Voting experts say the Missouri amendment represents the next logical step for those who have supported stronger voter ID requirements and the next battleground in how elections are conducted. Similar measures requiring proof of citizenship are being considered in at least 19 state legislatures. Bills in Florida, Kansas, Oklahoma and South Carolina have strong support. But only in Missouri does the requirement have a chance of taking effect before the presidential election.

In Arizona, the only state that requires proof of citizenship to register to vote, more than 38,000 voter registration applications have been thrown out since the state adopted its measure in 2004. . . . More than 70 percent of those registrations came from people who stated under oath that they were born in the United States, the data showed.

Already, 25 states, including Missouri, require some form of identification at the polls. Seven of those states require or can request photo ID. More states may soon decide to require photo ID now that the Supreme Court has upheld the practice. Democrats have already criticized these requirements as implicitly intended to keep lower-income voters from the polls, and are likely to fight even more fiercely now that the requirements are expanding to include immigration status. . . .

Measures requiring proof of citizenship raise the bar higher because they offer fewer options for documentation. In most cases, aspiring voters would have to produce an original birth certificate, naturalization papers or a passport. Arizona and Missouri, along with some other states, now show whether a driver is a citizen on the face of a driver’s license, and within a few years all states will be required by the federal government to restrict licenses to legal residents.

Critics say that when this level of documentation is applied to voting, it becomes more difficult for the poor, disabled, elderly and minorities to participate in the political process. . . .

Supporters of the measures cite growing concerns that illegal immigrants will try to vote. They say proof of citizenship measures are an important way to improve the accuracy of registration rolls and the overall voter confidence in the process. . . .

From October 2002 to September 2005, the Justice Department indicted 40 voters for registration fraud or illegal voting, 21 of whom were noncitizens, according to department records.

Welcome to the next round of debate and litigation over voter identification.
