Political group paid felons for voter drive
Many canvassed in several states
By David A. Lieb, Associated Press | June 24, 2004
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. -- A Democratic group working to defeat President Bush has paid felons -- some convicted of sex offenses, assault, and burglary -- to conduct door-to-door voter registration drives in at least three election swing states.
America Coming Together, contending that convicted criminals deserve a second chance in society, employs felons as voter canvassers in major metropolitan areas in Missouri, Florida, Ohio, and perhaps in other states among the 17 it is targeting in its drive. Some of the felons lived in halfway houses, and at least four returned to prison.
America Coming Together, or ACT, canvassers ask residents which issues are important to them and, if they are not registered, sign them up as voters. They gather telephone numbers and other personal information, such as driver's license numbers or partial Social Security numbers, depending on what a state requires for voter registration.

Oh oh.......great catch.
Holy cow!
It is creepy. And it's also about as subtle as being hit over the head with a 2x4. I have no doubt whatsoever that they were inviting the audience to compare Kerry's unattractive facial features with Lincoln's. You know the old cliche that a man who looked like Lincoln couldn't get elected in the TV age. They were trying to suggest we would be missing out on another Lincoln if we didn't elect Kerry.
Well,it didn't work. All I could think of was the old movie,THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE! And I bet that I'm not alone. :-)
It would only work with people who are already predisposed to thinking of Kerry as the 2nd coming of Lincoln. As for the rest of us, we know better.
I don't think it's working very well on the Kerryites either.After all,Lincoln was a GOPer! :-)
WOW!! .. now there's a list
THANKS for this thread

A "Right Wing Attack Machine churning away" BUMP!!
Now Edwards and Kerry are coming right out and saying that Bush is committing illegal acts as regards the SBV's and their ads.
Where is their proof? Every time I think I've heard the last outrageous act or comment from the Dem's, they manage to pull another one out of their hats. They are masters of propaganda and years from now, even though it will be proven that Bush has not had anything to do with the SBV ads, they will still talk about it as though it were gospel.
