You people need to do some fact checking

With tens of thousands of falsified votes on behalf of Barack Obama from around the country, I think there is a serious obligation to determine whether Barack Obama really won the right to face John McCain, or perhaps it should have been Hillary Clinton. Obama's Chicago vote machine was definitely behind the scenes at most of these "caucuses," and perhaps many of the votes in non caucus states were from dead people, duplicates, people voting 10 times, etc... This is dirty politics at its worst, and goes hand in hand with Chicago's reputation for such, and Obama's many shaky friends. This isn't the first presidential election with behind the scenes criminal elements manipulating the votes, but it reminds me of some banana republic were everything is a farce.

But has BHO and his staff, both Senatorial and campaign, denied it? I don't think they can. Too, too much paper exists that would make them liars. No, this is just another slimey lawyer-ease of BHOs,

Why isn't the main street media all over this? Obama keeps getting a free pass. I'm tired of him saying "I didn't know about this". He doesn't know Ayers, ACORN, Rezko.. he didn't try to get the Iraqis to stall on the Bush deal. Maybe he really believes in his "just words" chant. He sure doesn't care about America.. it's just words!

Fact checking at FactCheck.org - Annenberg Political Fact Check! No thanks, that's rigged too. ACORN fraud is breaking out all over the USA. Dear Leader Barry is involved in this and no amount of spin will work this time. Let me guess..Barry doesn't remember working for ACORN either?

Poor Barak, everyone is picking on him except Farrakhan. According to Farrakhan: Obama is the Mahdi [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahdi ] or Messiah. http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=77539

A friend of mine kept telling me that Republicans had to be up by more than 3% in the polls to win because of rampant Democrat cheating. I'm starting to believe him.

Obama downplaying this like he downplayed Ayres, Wright, Rezko, etc. etc. Wake up Americans before it is too late. This man with his velvet speeches is dangerous. Farrakhan, referring to Obama as the messiah is the scariest of all.

This is typical Obama tactics. He using people and organizations to advance his career. The minute something nagative comes out he says either he never knew what was going on; or he is no longer associated with that person or group. It is really sad that he is able to pull the wool over the eyes of so many people. He is no better or worse then the other politicians. The difference is he says he is when he is just like the rest. I would URGE all voters who have an open mind to read the book THE CASE AGAINST BARACK OBAMA before they vote. If they do Mr. Obama will not win the election. Shyguy

Shouldnt we overhaul the voter registration process? Shouldn't we require ID or drivers license to register to vote? This seems to come up every election and it does nothing but divide us All when we should be coming together in a time of crisis as we are now. What ACORN is accused of doing is disgraceful, given it is found true, and the people in charge should be prosecuted. But how does this relate to actual voting? they register these fake names but how are they going to get these fake people to vote? I guess absentee? The voting system needs an overhaul!

This is stealing an election. Until it can be shown that Acorn et al are not doing this , they should be shut down. Enough of a pattern, if this were a corporation they would be out of business. RICO case if there ever was one. Staff of Acorn should be in jail. And my TAX money goes to them! And by the way, THROW THE BUMS OUT of Washington. disgusting

How many negatives must there be against this man? How many questionable associations? How many times can he change his position on the issues to get more votes? His economic policy would be poison to a sick U.S. economy! The Democrats in charge of Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac were a huge contributor to the housing market meltdown (ACORN Housing involved here, too) and yet no one is questioning them? The federal investigation into FM/FM has been postponed until after the election by Democrats who do not want the results of the investigation to reflect poorly on Obama at the polls! Where is the public outcry? Obama wants to pull out of Iraq prematurely on the one hand and advocates attacking Pakistan without provocation on the other! Is he dangerously naive or just dangerous? What the heck are we, as a nation, doing? Allowing Democrat-sponsored suicide???

ACORN receives billions in taxpayer dollars. Not too hard to connect the dots. ACORN has had fraud cases in multiple states over the last 10+ years. In this election it is worse, one man claims they registered him 72 times over 18 months in Ohio-could be verified. Not projection look at the history. Obama was a community organizer with ACORN, then he trained organizers for ACORN, then as an attorney he defended fraud and coercion cases for ACORN and his campaign paid $800,000 to ACORN to Get Out The Vote program. How is this any a Republican issue. Fraud threatens our system of 1 person 1 vote. It is also extremely racist to imply that poor and minority aren't smart or motivated enough to register like other voters and that they need pushed by ACORN!

okie

Criminal election process in Chicago has long been a story line even if some has been untrue. Power politics in the area has and continues to be rough and only the strong and connected survive. Apparently Senator Obama has applied this to a national campaign. I guess associating with radical individuals and groups, some perhaps criminal is as natural as breathing in some parts of the nation.
