Who’s afraid of the media, of tough questions, now?” JT

The questions weren’t tough, just idiotic. Why should he waste precious minutes with a pseudo journalist. I couldn’t believe how amazing Joe the Senator sounded. His responses couldn’t be better if they were scripted. Wouldn’t take no shit from some dumb ass.

Besides Ann Coulter, of course.

And as a Christian sentiment, what’s so wrong with that anyway?

A couple of points.

“Add that up, and it’s around 110,000″ is a far cry from “literally hundreds of thousands (if not millions)”. When pressed for support you immediately change your claim.

When there are less than 30 prosecutions in 8 years when the Justice Department has focused on this it really strains credibility to believe the problem is as wide spread as you keep liking to claim.

“Obama represented them in a court case, provided training to their volunteers, and gave them over $800,000 this year from his campaign”.

Yep. In 1995 he represented them in one (there’s that number again!) case along with co-plaintiff the Department of Justice and others. You going to attack the Dept of Justice now for working with ACORN to get a federal law (“motor voter” implemented?
He was never an ACORN trainer and never worked for ACORN in any other capacity.
And his campaign has made no donations to ACORN.

“ACORN is rotten, through and through, and needs to be put out of the voter registration business. Preferably, out of existence entirely.”

That’s just your opinion, Jay Tea, and your opinion doesn’t matter because you are not fucking human. Got it?

You know who discovered these fraudulent ACORN registrations you keep complaining about? ACORN did. They caught them and told the authorities. But don’t let the facts get in the way of your prejudices, you fucking piece of shit.

In a case to enforce the motor voter laws, to ensure that states would offer voter registration at the DMV.

ACORN v. Edgar, 56 F.3d 791 (7th Cir. 1995). ACORN was joined as a plaintiff by the League of Women Voters, the DOJ and local AUSA, LULAC, Mexican-American Legal Defense and Education Fund, and Puerto Rican Legal Defense and Education Fund. Republicans, PLEASE go off on how awful it was for Obama to be advocating for a set of plaintiffs like that. Please cement your losses among women and Latinos, not to mention making finally clear, once and for all, that you don’t believe the role of federal attorneys or the Department of Justice is actually to advocate for the enforcement of law.

PROCEDURAL POSTURE: Appellees, United States and others, sought to force appellant State of Illinois to comply with the provisions of the National Registration Act of 1993 (motor voter law), 42 U.S.C.S. §§ 1973 gg et seq. The United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois granted the United States an injunction that compelled the State of Illinois to enforce the motor voter law. The State of Illinois appealed.

OVERVIEW: On appeal, the State of Illinois argued that Congress could not force state governments to administer a federal program that facilitated the registration of voters in federal elections. The court stated that Congress had the power to regulate federal elections under the powers granted by U.S. Const. art. I, § 4 and U.S. Const. art. II, § 1. In addition, U.S. Const. art. I, § 4 mandated the states to initially set up the system of federal elections within their own jurisdiction, subject to the whims of Congress. The court found that these powers and mandates implicitly extended to voter registration as well. Thus under the necessary and proper clause of U.S. Const. art. I, § 8, Congress properly imposed the provisions of the National Registration Act of 1993 (motor voter law), 42 U.S.C.S. §§ 1973 gg et seq., upon the State of Illinois. The court did find that the district court’s injunction overreached in its enforcement of the motor voter law. The court found there was no justification to have further intruded upon the operations of state government by the addition of more requirements than the actual motor voter law provided for.

OUTCOME: The injunction decree was affirmed as modified. The court eliminated the fourth paragraph of the injunction which had ordered the State of Illinois to designate a chief state election official that would have all the necessary powers to enforce the compliance with the motor voter law.

The fact that Jay references this as something bad Obama did is another sign that Republicans are insincere when they say they’re only worried about fraudulent voting. They just don’t like for voting to be easily accessible, full stop.

So you base your value or your not on the evidence that backs it up, but the amount of responses. You just admitted you were a troll, and trolls are not human.

I don’t like ANY games that ass around with elections. I am on record for saying the New Hampshire GOP got off way, WAY too easy over the 2002 phone jamming scandal. And the asshole who has been charged (a Republican) with vote fraud should get the max.

ACORN is rotten, through and through, and needs to be put out of the voter registration business. Preferably, out of existence entirely.

How many fraudulent ACORN regsitrations are going to turn into bogus votes?

Conversely, how many legitimate voters were purged from voting rolls by the GOP, or otherwise disenfranchised?
Is that how this works? We have to sign up more than you can throw away? Even with the 26 REAL voter fraud cases, I think we’re winning.

Here are some quick examples:

About 1,500 in St. Louis.

5,000 in Lake County, Indiana.

35,000 in Missouri.

57,000 in Pennsylvania.

10,000 in Texas.

1,100 in New Mexico.

Add that up, and it’s around 110,000.

Just for this election cycle.

ACORN’s already facing one RICO suit. It needs more.

And Obama represented them in a court case, provided training to their volunteers, and gave them over $800,000 this year from his campaign.

Like I said… if that lovely little girl isn’t already registered by ACORN in at least seven swing states so far, they’re getting sloppy.

Recall such past glorious Democratic victories as Chicago 1960, when Daley kept “finding” more and more uncounted Democratic votes. Or Washington State in 2004, when more and more “previously uncounted” votes kept turning up until the Democrat won the governorship. I think they ended up showing about 1,000 convicted felons cast ballots that year, I guess to make up for all those military absentee ballots that — gosh darn it — were mailed out too late to be returned in time. And quite a few people returned from the grave to exercise their franchise.

Got one shred of proof for that at all, Jay? “Literally hundred of thousands”

Come on, name 30. Out of 200,000 plus (“literally hundreds of thousands”) you should be able to give 30 specific examples. But you can’t. You know why? Because from from 2000 to 2006 there were a grand total, nationwide, of 26 prosecutions for voter fraud. Literally hundreds of millions of votes cast during that period and despite the Justice Department focus on it there have been (say it with me) only 26 prosecutions for voter fraud.

In this election cycle, one. With all the efforts by the right to make an issue out of ACORN, one. A man in Ohio who attempted who registered under a fake address.

One.

You, Jay, however, are full of number two.

“When you start getting the most flak, you know you’re over the target.”

Actually, in my experience, you often get a lot of flak when you wander aimlessly and stupidly into a situation that you shouldn’t be in at all. See Iraq. Or alternatively, your entry into this line of argument.

And apparently, JT, you concede that the Florida news anchor was out of line? Thanks.

How many fraudulent ACORN regsitrations are going to turn into bogus votes?
Limp around the house mulling that one over.

Gee, I wonder if Strowbridge is registered to vote in Ohio, as well as several other swing states…
