The “sordid” story of Obama’s political rise

Frank James does a NIFTY SMACKDOWN of right-winger Tony Blankley’s silly suspicions about how Barack Obama dealt “himself two royal flushes in a row.”

I am glad you brought this up, I forgot all about it. What Obama did in that article is true. What makes it really funny is now he has funneled money to an organization(ACORN) that is doing the same thing. Where is Obama outrage, he should contesting those signatures. What is not true Pat?

I’m not finding any misinformation in that article, either………….

What exactly is ACORN doing Ding Dong? Are you upset that they are reporting the fraudulent registration forms? You wouldn’t be hearing about those forms if ACORN had not been reporting them. Do you think registration fraud is the same thing as voter fraud? Do you think Mickey Mouse is going to show up with his drivers license and cast a vote?
Are you….concerned?

L. D. I have never been asked to produce an ID when voting. Fraud is fraud no matter what color you put on it.

LD: Where does it say ACORN reported the fraud? From what I have seen it has been the FBI raiding their offices. Get a clue.
6. DingDong | October 15th, 2008 at 1:57 pm
NO LD, they Obama has nothing to do with this.

First time voters must provide ID.
Under law, ACORN must report irregular registrations that result from its process.

This is so funny, the Illinois Republicans actually took down their own candidate and somebody spins as Barack had something to do with it-too topo funny!
This is just the start of a “whispered back story” like they did when Clinton got elected, so every time his name is brought up they can point to it. But when is John McSame going to talk about his relationship with the Annenbergs and ACORN?
BTW it isn’t voter fraud unless Mickey Mouse actually votes.

What you don’t get is that ACORN self-reported forms that have missing or wrong information. They are being raided because they submitted fraudulent forms as being good. Also this link you sent me is an opinion piece. I think people should have to prove they are eligible to vote. If your too lazy to go get yourself registered, too bad. There should never be same day registering and voting.

There isn’t same day registering and voting.
Register multiple, vote zero and for this we should be outraged?

LD: Nine states have some form of same day registration and voting.

DingDong is right, LD.
You’ve got to dig a little deeper. And, I don’t know what ACORN tie you’re trying to make to Senator McCain. You’ve got to be a little more specific. What tie? How is he involved with ACORN?
I know he’s not in the top 10 payout beneficiaries. But, do you know who the top 3 are? 1) Chris Dodd, 2) Barrack Obama, and 3) John Kerry (the last Democratic presidential candidate).
Plus, Barrack Obama has ties to ACORN dating back to 1995……….
What they people are bothered by is him trying to duck and smokescreen his involvement.
If he just truthfully came out and laid it all on the table more voters would have far more respect for the man, and trust………..

“Nine states have some form of same day registration and voting.” And were any of them where the fraudulant registration occurred? If not, then no harm has occurred so far. Do you really think Republicans never do this sort of thing? I lived in Dupage County for 25 years and know better.

Craig: What I am saying, in my opinion, it just opens another avenue for voter fraud and should not be allowed. We have no idea how much voter fraud is going on. The voting regulations and requirements for review are from state to state without any uniformity. With todays technology, we should be able to know who is qualified to vote and who isn’t.
