That's right all they have to do is disqualify enough registered voters to level out the playing field, if it isn't the American way it certainaly is the American political way.
Or even like out economic crisis, a perfect storm brought to you by the banking system.
Hey maybe the Rep can make sure enough of the new Dem voters Obama registered are disenfranchised that way voter fraud will be sooo replaced by election fraud that it will go out of fashion.
There are lots of them reaching out and lots of them have tried everything in their power before reaching that point. This isn't just a few people or a certain demographic. It seems to be a broad cross section of desperate people, once fairly successful people.
It is such an unstable and crazy time that people are on the edge of madness and destroying themselves and their family's. Hopelessness and despair=violence.
It is so sad, many of these people were productive and strong, the children are certainaly innocent and deserve a chance for a life.
An out-of-work money manager in California loses a fortune and wipes out his family in a murder-suicide. A 90-year-old Ohio widow shoots herself in the chest as authorities arrive to evict her from the modest house she called home for 38 years.
In Massachusetts, a housewife who had hidden her family's mounting financial crisis from her husband sends a note to the mortgage company warning: "By the time you foreclose on my house, I'll be dead."
Then Carlene Balderrama shot herself to death, leaving an insurance policy and a suicide note on a table.
Across the country, authorities are becoming concerned that the nation's financial woes could turn increasingly violent, and they are urging people to get help. In some places, mental-health hot lines are jammed, counseling services are in high demand and domestic-violence shelters are full.
"I've had a number of people say that this is the thing most reminiscent of 9/11 that's happened here since then," said the Rev. Canon Ann Malonee, vicar at Trinity Church in the heart of New York's financial district. "It's that sense of having the rug pulled out from under them."...
"A lot of people are telling us they are losing everything. They're losing their homes, they're going into foreclosure, they've lost their jobs," said Virginia Cervasio, executive director of a suicide resource enter in southwest Florida's Lee County.
• In Los Angeles last week, a former money manager fatally shot his wife, three sons and his mother-in-law before killing himself.
Karthik Rajaram, 45, left a suicide note saying he was in financial trouble and contemplated killing just himself. But he said he decided to kill his entire family because that was more honorable, police said.
Rajaram once worked for a major accounting firm and for Sony Pictures, and he had been part-owner of a financial holding company. But he had been out of work for several months, police said.
After the murder-suicide, police and mental-health officials in Los Angeles took the unusual step of urging people to seek help for themselves or loved ones if they feel overwhelmed by grim financial news. They said they were specifically afraid of the "copycat phenomenon."
• In Tennessee, a woman fatally shot herself last week as sheriff's deputies went to evict her from her foreclosed home.
Pamela Ross, 57, and her husband were fighting foreclosure on their home when sheriff's deputies in Sevierville came to serve an eviction notice. They were across the street when they heard a gunshot and found Ross dead from a wound to the chest. The case was even more tragic because the couple had recently been granted an extra 10 days to appeal.
• In Akron, Ohio, the 90-year-old widow who shot herself on Oct. 1 is recovering. A congressman told Addie Polk's story on the House floor before lawmakers voted to approve a $700 billion financial rescue package. Mortgage finance company Fannie Mae dropped the foreclosure, forgave her mortgage and said she could remain in the home.
• In Ocala, Fla., Roland Gore shot his wife and dog in March and then set fire to the couple's home, which had been in foreclosure, before killing himself. His case was one of several in which people killed spouses or pets, destroyed property or attacked police before taking their own lives.
"The financial stress builds up to the point the person feels they can't go on, and the person believes their family is better off dead than left without a financial support," said Kristen Rand, legislative director of the Washington D.C.-based Violence Policy Center.
Dr. Edward Charlesworth, a clinical psychologist in Houston, said the current crisis is breeding a sense of chronic anxiety among people who feel helpless and panic-stricken, as well as angry that their government has let them down. ...
Oh sure I get it, as long as it can't be held directly against Obama than voter fraud and election fraud just isn't all that interesting.
That's what I though, no shock or awe about voters rights unless it is a political club you can use.
Tell me what are you going to do if Obama gets elected, continue to only play in your own party's pond or try to join with (I hope) as many Americans as will work together to get us out of this hellish economic mess.
It's no wonder our politicians are so partisan, so many of you are that I guess they are representing us just as they are voted in to do.
Election fraud is what is happening now. Voters are being purged from the roll in states all across this country. So their vote will not even be made much less counted.
You know all this is disenfranchising voters, it bears watching.
It's just amazing to me how much attention has been and is still being given to Acorn Vote fraud issue and the conspiracy Obama theories that go along with it.
Where were all you guys in 2000 and 2004 when the elections were rampart with republican efforts to defraud voters.
Republican Congressman Tom Feeney of Oviedo asked a computer programmer in September 2000, prior to that year's contested presidential vote in Florida, to write software that could alter vote totals on touch-screen voting machines, the programmer said.
Former computer programmer Clint Curtis made the claim Monday in sworn testimony to Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee investigating allegations of voter fraud in the 2004 presidential election involving touch-screen voting in Ohio.
In his testimony, Curtis said that Feeney, then a member of the Florida House of Representative, met with Curtis and other employees of Yang Enterprises, an Oviedo software company, and asked if the company could create a program that would allow a user to alter the vote totals while using the touch-screen machine. The program had to be written so that even the human-readable computer code would not show its illicit capabilities, Curtis recalled.
...In Nevada and Oregon, a company hired by the Republican National Committee solicited voter registration forms, but was accused of filing only the Republicans’ forms and shredding those completed by Democrats. A nonprofit organization, ACORN, was accused of submitting false voter registration forms and of carelessly or deliberately failing to submit some valid ones that it had received.
State efforts to purge voter rolls have led to disputes, notably in Florida. Before the 2000 election, Florida officials purged scores of thousands of registered voters on the grounds that they were convicted felons (and therefore ineligible to vote under Florida law). Many of those whose names were purged were "false positives" (not actually felons).....
The issue returned to prominence in 2004 when Florida announced another planned purge, again based on a list of felons. The state government initially attempted to keep the list secret. When a court ordered its release, it was found to contain mostly Democrats and a disproportionate number of racial minorities....
Who was elected president in 2000, Democrat Al Gore or Republican George W. Bush? For 36 hectic days after the 2000 election, most Americans were distracted by the circus in Florida.
While wrangling reporters, politicians, lawyers, and judges argued about counting or not counting punch card ballots, Florida Governor Jeb Bush, George W. Bush's brother, was orchestrating this mess.
Al Gore won that election, yet Bush took office because of the confusion, the delay in recounting the votes and the decision of the supreme court.
Seems to me that the crooks are screaming robbery.
All you have to do is consider what is right for the Americans casting honest votes might not be expedient for dishonest politicians who are actually running the show Trish.
You have to have honesty in the government to oversee the laws regulating the votes.
No Wish, I saw you were leaving but I just got back home. I mean right now which is what real time means. I mean this crisis and their reactions and plans to deal with it.
For example to you agree with McCain's plan to bail out peoples mortgages with taxpayers money? That is what he is saying he will do.
It's kind of amazing to me that almost no one here is talking about what our different candidates are doing for this crisis and their plans to get us out of this mess.
It's gotta be the politics of distraction in full swing.
That's what McCain's campaign is all about keeping us focused on BS, what about connections right now, behavior right now, articulate and thoughtful responses to our Big problems right now?
The politics of distraction work pretty well if that's what they have a smart lady like you focusing on.
There are some very vital hot button issues now, I'm watching how the candidates respond to them. McCain is underwhelming me by a landslide.
All of you seem to pretty much have your minds made up one way or the other.
But right here and now McCain as my president scares the hell out of me. His famous and continuing temper has no place near any button signaling war.
His lack of economic knowledge and support of big business has no place near this economic crisis we have now.
And despite all the shouting about Palin having executive experence and would be ready to be president in a "Blink", all I've seen her do is fumble, attack, and wink.
I've never heard a presidential candidate typically called a terrorist have you? It this was a real deal it would be a serious atypical situation wouldn't it.
It this is true than I would expect not only the campaign of McCain to be all over it I would expect the CIA in there too. It's just more hot air blowing smoke to try to destroy their opponents character because they don't care how they win and because they are slipping in the polls.
