Hey, man, whatever proves 'em right.

/right?

This should be good ....

Who cares? McCain lost by an insane margin because his platform was incoherent, his party was embarrassing, and his running mate was insane.

This was closer to 1984 than 2000.

In before Acorn!

Yes, bring up voter fraud now. Because it didn't matter in 2000.

Damn that Acorn. See? McCain was right all along.

// yes I read the article
/// yes I'm being farking sarcastic.

what_now: Who cares? McCain lost by an insane margin because his platform was incoherent, his party was embarrassing, and his running mate was insane.

Was?

don't let rush loudmouth find this one. he'll tell us the country's election process is doomed!

B-b-b-b-but... ACORN!

obzerver: what_now: Who cares? McCain lost by an insane margin because his platform was incoherent, his party was embarrassing, and his running mate was insane.

Was?

She's no longer his running-mate, hence the use of past-tense.

Does this mean we can undo the 2004 Voter Fraud in Ohio and not have W for the last fours years also???

\No?
\\Then STFU

But Diebold Premier Election Solutions was supposed to give it to McCain. It's obvious this prosecutor is a Republican that did not want to shame the party of Joe Six Pack by uncovering rampant electronic voter fraud that favored Palin and McCain.

You know what's funny? One of the friendly witnesses for Norm Coleman testified under oath that his girlfriend filled out his ballot for him and Coleman thinks it should be counted.

Exactly. I'm not talking about Sarah Palin's future, I'm talking about John McCain's past.

Sarah Palin's future will put Jon Stewart's kids through college.

True, but she is still insane. You can't cure that type of crazy.

And this one fraudulent dude voted for McCain Palin?

\Just guessing

It's so generous of Sarah Palin to put other people's kids through college while condemning her very own Trig to a life of power drooling. What a saint.

EPIDEMIC

I don't believe this one bit. Who would admit to voting for McCain/Palin?

priestrape: I don't believe this one bit. Who would admit to voting for McCain/Palin?

Freepers and Christian cultists

I'm still really really really angry at ACORN and they must have done something wrong or I wouldn't be so angry!

McCain and the Republicans were right.

Still, this is one better than the insistent rambling that "The Death Tax" was taking farms away from hardworking families after Pa Farmer died (new window)... only there never was such a case, and "The Death Tax" should actually be renamed "The Insanely Wealthy Estate Tax".

...when the pro-repeal American Farm Bureau Foundation was challenged to produce one real case of a farm that was lost because of the estate tax, it could not cite a single example. In April 2001, the Bureau's president sent an urgent memo to its affiliates stating, "it is crucial for us to be able to provide Congress with examples of farmers and ranchers who have lost farms due to the death tax." Still, no examples were forthcoming.

/Such pretty colors...

I like to pretend voter registration fraud is the same thing as voter fraud, so I really enjoyed that article. Palin in 2012!

And the story about negotiations to raise the floor to be eligible for the Estate Tax to $100 million (!!!!) met with Republicans saying, "No. Can't tax ANYTHING EVAR. Wealthy people should be able to get away with keeping assets in trusts, stocks, bonds, IRAs, cooperative partnerships, and other tax shelters and not have to pay taxes on it when their heirs inherit it." So the only way to be sure you can avoid taxes is to accrue a lot of money (without actually realizing it), then die and your relatives get to realize it tax free. Way to avoid the tax burdens that the rest of us can't, richers.

Hetfield: It's so generous of Sarah Palin to put other people's kids through college while condemning her very own Trig to a life of power drooling. What a saint.

So you are now saying we should off those that might be a burden on society?

You know who else thought this?

Damn man...partisanship is OK for your beliefs, but you went full retard, on a retard comment.

Hetfield: It's so generous of Sarah Palin to put other people's kids through college while condemning her very own Trig to a life of power drooling.

It's not her fault the kid has an extra chromosome. That shiat happens when you have a baby in your mid 40s.

Yeah, similar thing happened in Wisconsin. After the 2004 elections, there were all these allegations about tens of thousands of cases of possible voter fraud, yet when investigated, they ended up with a grand total of 7 instances of fraud.

In the end, most of the allegations were caused by poor software (e.g. software that wouldn't recognize 123 Road St. Apt. 2 and 123 Road St. #2 as the same address) or by people who legitimately lived in business districts (there's still a lot of old buildings with apartments above businesses). Many ended up being data entry errors.

cartersdad: You know who else thought this?

Todd Palin?

what_now: It's not her fault the kid has an extra chromosome. That shiat happens when you have a baby in your mid 40s.

Should have flagged those chromosomes. They're so fungible.

Sorry but chromosomes are NOT fungible, they can be distinguished from one another. She actually taught me that word (in an incoherent rambling) by making me look it up.

God thing we're giving 5 bil to acorn to fix this.

You made me lol and cringed at the same time!

Like McCain stories prior to the election:

No one cares.

So the Democrats are about to give ACORN $4.1 billion for one lousy vote. I would want a refund.

Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters...

Deters was also McCain's regional campaign manager. TFA fails to mention this, but that's typical.

Where are all the Conservatives ranting on and on about ACORN voter fraud?

Despite the severe lack of evidence, look for Republicans to be screaming about the dead casting votes in 2012.

sunlion: Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters...

Deters was also McCain's regional campaign manager. TFA fails to mention this, but that's typical.

Bush's Florida campaign manager in 2000 was also the person in charge of purging likely Democrats from the voter roles.

Yet Obama is evil because he has connections with ACORN.
Even though ACORN has never been found with THEIR finger in the pie.

Sum Dum Gai: Yeah, similar thing happened in Wisconsin. After the 2004 elections, there were all these allegations about tens of thousands of cases of possible voter fraud, yet when investigated, they ended up with a grand total of 7 instances of fraud.

Many ended up being data entry errors.

Actually that's a very difficult problem to solve in software. Humans are way better at that kind of pattern matching.

priestrape: I don't believe this one bit. Who would admit to voting for McCain/Palin?

Who says the fraud went in that direction? TFA didn't.

That's one vote, we only need to get 206,830 more cases of voter fraud in Ohio and McCain will carry the state. Of course he would still be way short in the electoral vote - 152 to be exact.

Joe Deter never allows a photo of him to be taken that shows the top of his head. There is a slit there, proving that he is a big dick.

The tax payers of Hamilton County shouldn't worry about the wasted tax dollars spent to conduct this investigation. It's a drop in the bucket compared to the money the county wastes on the Bungals every year.

subby: "Rampant" does mean "one guy who turned himself in months ago," right?

For the purposes of giving Republicans something to sneer about? Sure! Anything! Whatever!

Zasteva: Actually that's a very difficult problem to solve in software. Humans are way better at that kind of pattern matching.

Yeah, I don't really blame the software so much as the people who were hyperventilating about how terrible the results from the software match were (over 30,000 invalid addresses!!!1!1), without actually bothering to verify that their concerns were genuine.

I mean, they could have just printed out the mismatches and seen very, very quickly that nearly all of them were false positives.

DaSwankOne: So the Democrats are about to give ACORN $4.1 billion for one lousy vote. I would want a refund.

Where is ACORN getting 4.1 billion?

His supporters are livid. LIVID!
