Quoting someone is better than knowing them for 20 years. Imagine if McCain was in a radical Southern racist church where the preacher spewed hate as Wright did. Talk about backlash.
i think quoting someone implies more of an alignment with that person's beliefs than just knowing someone b/c they live in the neighborhood and contribute to your campaign. obama has rejected Ayers' past actions - what more could there be to talk about?NDTeve wrote: Quoting someone is better than knowing them for 20 years.

i actually dont really care if Palin quotes Westbrook Pegler any more than i care about Obama and Ayers/Wright - it just shows (unsurprisingly) that she is a total hypocrite and that the McCain campaign is grasping at straws.

that's a funny response coming from the most consistently confrontational member of this message board.Maitre D wrote: They'd probably "get in your face", and argue with you.
So then, you're saying the Obamanites should like me since their candidate is only doing what I do?DaveKCMO wrote: that's a funny response coming from the most consistently confrontational member of this message board.
Actually, disagreeing with you on most issues shows that I am nearly always right! Considering that I gave a good, reasoned explanation for my point of view and defended it against a good, reasoned disagreement (not from you), and all you have to say is, "No, your just wrong", I would say that most would say that I was right.Maitre D wrote:
No, you're just WRONG phx. Like you nearly always are.
the question here is, if you are going to make a mistake, on which side would you rather error? Would you rather cast a larger net, risking taking non-felons off the voter rolls, or those whose civil rights had been restored? Or would you rather make the mistake of allowing a few convicted felons to vote? In this case, it would still be one man one vote, and I just skimmed through the article, but it doesn't appear that the felons who are registering are the type who wouldn't normally have their civil rights restored, just that they didn't understand the process. Ultimately, this one is on the state system for not cleaning up their own house and also brings up the question of whether, as the guy at the end of the article says, criminals who have served their time should be kept off the rolls?NDTeve wrote: Convicted felons (outnumbering Repub voters more than 2 to 1) are registered voters in FL...

I doubt you'll see any crying about "stolen elections" unlike some others.
ACORN needs to change their methods so that they are not paying per name. However, this is a relatively minor issue. Registration fraud and voter fraud are two completely different things. The biggest right wing bogyman out there, illegal aliens rushing to the polls, doesn't happen. Also, the people who register as Donald Duck are not going to show up to vote. There is no evidence that ACORN is culpable. The people who are registering voters are, and they are stealing from ACORN! It is simply not a real issue.NDTeve wrote: Didn't take much to read between those lines advocrat..
This concerning to anyone (probably not)...10,000 fraudulent voter registrations by ACORN:

Heh, this was debunked last week. NBC pulled it temporarily because of concerns that the subtitle "people who should be shot" in reference to the Sandlers would get them into legal trouble. The sketch is available here, complete with Sandler and Frank.Maitre D wrote: "Saturday Night Live" ran a spoof of the financial crisis that skewered Democrats like House Financial Services Chairman Barney Frank and liberal contributors Herbert and Marion Sandler, who sold toxic-waste-filled Golden West to Wachovia Bank for $24 billion. Kind of surprising, but not for long. The tape of the broadcast disappeared from NBC's Web site and was replaced with another that omitted the references to Mr. Frank and the Sandlers. Evidently NBC and its parent, General Electric, don't want people to hear speech that attacks liberals.
