That's really a pretty slick idea on the ACORN management's part. Require a daily quota then, when the employee can't meet the quota and they start falsifying records to meet it, they blame the employee for the problem.:up:

Sounds kind of like the tactics used by telemarketing firms.

You would think they would at least be smart enough to not use known celibrity names :doh:

Here in Maryland, dead people vote!!! No kidding! Names were pulled off headstones and used in local Maryland elections. Hell, the news had a representative go from headstone to headstone with a list of names that matched exactly to the headstones. In the same exact order the stones were in the ground. This does not surprise me. Act of desparation by Obama supporters? Looks like it. Sad part is these street people can be taken from poll to poll and allowed to vote as many times as they can pull the lever!

ACORN..very much a part of our housing/mortgage company ills we are experiencing! Sweet! Obama 08...oh great:roll:

Why stop at dead people when you can call upon the crem de la crem of society.

From the NY post

CLEVELAND — Volunteers supporting Barack Obama picked up hundreds of people at homeless shelters, soup kitchens and drug-rehab centers and drove them to a polling place yesterday on the last day that Ohioans could register and vote on the same day, almost no questions asked.
The huge effort by a pro-Obama group, Vote Today Ohio, takes advantage of a quirk in the state's elections laws that allows people to register and cast ballots at the same time without having to prove residency.
Republicans have argued that the window could lead to widespread voter fraud because officials wouldn't have an opportunity to verify registration information before ballots were cast.
Among the volunteers were Yori Stadlin and Vivian Lehrer of the Upper West Side, who got married last week and decided to spend their honeymoon shepherding voters to the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections.
Early today, Stadlin's van picked up William Woods, 59, at the soup kitchen of the Bishop Cosgrove Center.
"I never voted before," Woods said, because of a felony conviction that previously barred him from the polls. "Without this service, I would have had no way to get here."

Yeah, poor people shouldn't be allowed to vote.

I'm as disgusted as you are.

I knew this comment would come out of someone....

Of course they should be allowed to vote, as long as they are legal us residents and not convicted felons and meet the requirements.

If you read carefully you will see that none of this was verified even vaguely so. Just sign here.. use any name you like, fine now cast a vote hopefully for Mr. Obama. Thanks here is your free sandwitch, have a nice life.

Im not too keen on drug addicts selecting my president either. Not the most informed group of citizens.

Its a pathetic stunt to stuff the ballot box. Not a effort to 'help' the depraved.

The McCain campaign is in a complete nosedive. The media is even having trouble tring to make the election look close and sexy. McCain is going down faster than a drunken prom date next month and everyone knows it. The republicans had no intention of even trying to win after 8 years of Bush, that's why they ran McCain in the first place.

Well luckily enough the simplified the American democratic process gives us two nearly identical candidates to choose from. It doesn't really matter.

I was dirt poor under Clinton and slept in mud. I am farting on imported leather now under Bush. Does this have anything to do with politics? No, I was in the infantry under Clinton and married to a lawyer now. Oh wait, maybe it would have not been cool to be in the infantry under Bush.

Politics do matter, we only get the left or right lean, but the lean can make the difference between a war and economic disaster. I don't recall a bank crisis under Clinton.

Way to stay on topic there :up:

6 point lead http://zogby.com/news/ReadNews.dbm?ID=1575

Not exactly a landslide... Besides the exit polls had Kerry winning in 2004 for cryin out loud. Oh thats right Bush "Stole" the election :doh:

No not everyone 'knows it'. This rhetoric is going to bite you libs in the ass. The election is not over and saying so gives even more impetious to the McCain supporers to go pull that lever. Believe what you wish or what the media tells you if you want.

McCain sent Palin to stump in North Carolina, if that doesn't spell trouble I don't know what does. That would be like a liberal having to talk up San Francisco a bit.

It's over, Palin was McCain's hail mary pass and it wasn't caught.

Noone can say its over, noone can be certain who wins. Not until the votes are all tallied. Polls can be doctored to say whatever the pollster wants them to say.

If you wanted to show that McCain was miles ahead, you look the the voting records, pick an area that was overwhelmingly republican in 2004, and do a poll from that area! Same deal if you wanted to show Obama was going to win.

The only poll that matters is the election.

Besides, if it turns out that convicted felons were voting (which i believe is a violation of several laws) then who knows, if things are close enough in the count there might well be legal action, in which case even the election doesnt matter, it'd be up to the courts..

Democrats are good at that. Look at last Gov election in Washington State. Gregoire had the things counted many times over and dead people kept turning up in her favor.

Truthfully I knew it was over a long time ago. I knew it was over when Hilary and Obama met with the Bilderburg group when they were in Virginia for a meeting. They got the nod. Hey, if I'm wrong I'll throw away my tinfoil hat.
