Indyfella: You're right, it's registration fraud. A felony, I do believe. Go to Gary Indiana. You'll see an art in progress Nov 4th. They don't turn in their votes until they see how many are needed to beat "down state."
TALLAHASSEE -- Breaking with the talking points of his fellow Republicans in Washington, Florida Gov. Charlie Crist said he does not think voter fraud and the vote-registration group ACORN are a major problem in the Sunshine State.
''I think that there's probably less than is being discussed. As we're coming into the closing days of any campaign, there are some who enjoy chaos,'' Crist told reporters....
During the Wednesday Republican conference call, national party spokesman Danny Diaz focused more on a case out of Orange County, in which someone used an ACORN-stamped voter-registration card to sign up Mickey Mouse.
But Crist's Republican Secretary of State, Kurt Browning, said he doesn't think ACORN is committing systematic voter fraud. And Crist said that settles the matter because ''I have enormous confidence'' in Browning.
Like ACORN spokesmen, Browning says the false voter registration forms could be blamed on unethical canvassers or on citizens who themselves fill out fictitious voter cards.....
Elections officials point out that while voter-registration fraud is relatively easy, vote fraud is far more difficult because a criminal would have to evade multiple layers of computer-system and identity checks. They also say the system is not overwhelmed with phony registrations, as Diaz suggested during the conference call....
ACORN submits all registration cards -- even ones it knows are phony -- because it's illegal to destroy the cards in Florida, and Browning said the group should even turn in incomplete registration cards....
What is true voter fraud has been going on already with machines switching votes, misinforming voters as the the election day and disenfranchising voters.

So Crist is the only honest Republican in America. How handy.

Didn't say that you did, shame on you! He beats the holy heck out of Jeb Bush 'tho. Crist has even extended the hours for early voting.
Skybow: You mean like the education program and SS?
It would be fine to under fund education. The more thrown at it the worse it gets. It's a state issue anyway, the Feds should never be involved. I'd cut all federal programs 30%. They'd do fine.
SS is paid out of pocket on wages/salaries. It's a ponsi scheme anyway. We'll see a fraction of what current recipients get.

There is so much waste and corruption in Gov spending, always has been part of the business as usual buying favors crap. It all needs to be cleaned up including reversing the wealthy tax cuts.
We need money people, it ain't gonna grow on trees.

was'nt the SS on a down hill slide when the golden boy, bill was in office?.....you know, it could be argued that, bush trying to kick start the economy, after the mess it was in when clinton left office, is what caused the mess we're in now.....could it not?.....

I don't think there's enough rich to give Obama all the money he wants to spend. He's just another Roosevelt/Carter/Johnson type Democrat. The only "change" is changing back to that crap.

Part of the reason is that the fed gov uses the money that's supposed to be kept for SS, borrowing it.
Clinton (don' like him either) left us in the red but he did allow outsourcing of too many jobs.
Buch pretty much took care of special interests and tax cuts while waging a very expensive war, and deregulation was a big theme during his administration. I don't think any of that was for the average American.

Don't think so, at least now it isn't. Gonna take a whole lot of reforming and that is never easy. At least he is talking about it and paying attention to the middle class unlike some.
