McCain Camp Responds to Obama's DOJ Letter
Real Clear Politics ^ | 18 Oct 2008 | BLAKE DVORAK

Posted on 10/19/2008 12:42:05 AM PDT by XHogPilot

In response to the letter the Obama camp sent to the Justice Department, the McCain campaign has released this statement:

"After a week of shifting stories and clumsy corrections regarding Barack Obama's connections to ACORN, the Obama campaign resorted to their now-customary heavy handed tactic of attempting to criminalize political discourse. Today's outrageous letter to Attorney General Mukasey and Special Prosecutor Dannehy at the Justice Department asking for a special prosecutor to investigate Senator McCain and Governor Palin's public statements about ACORN's record of fraudulent voter registrations (including in this week's Presidential debate) is absurd. It is a typical time-worn Washington attempt to criminalize political differences. For someone who promises 'change,' it is certainly only more of the same.

"The letter's request that the Department of Justice investigate 'recent partisan Republican activities throughout the country' is almost a parody of the Obama campaign's attempt to intimidate their political opponents. In case Sen. Obama's lawyer did not notice, we are in the midst of a political campaign, not a coronation, and the alleged criminal activity he calls 'recent partisan Republican activities' are what the rest of us call campaign speeches and debates. All of this is unfortunately reminiscent of the Obama campaign's recent creation of a 'truth squad' of Missouri prosecutors and sheriffs to 'target' people who criticize Sen. Obama. Rest assured that, despite these threats, the McCain-Palin campaign will continue to address the serious issue of voter registration fraud by ACORN and other partisan groups, and compliance by states with the Help America Vote Act's requirement of matching new voter registrations with state data bases to preve nt voter fraud."

Pray for help yes...

But recall God helps those who help themselves too.

If 0bama is elected recall he has already stated he won't be waiting until Jan. 20, 2009 to start setting his agenda in motion. This is the one time I believe him. His actions speak louder than his words in this regard. For now we call it Hubris before the election and I pray it is only hubris.

We need to be planning for the aftermath. Both immediate and long-term. Plan for the safety of our families and for the defense of our Constitution. And my one last thought, folks this is the election that brought to full-light the war for our country. It is not an opening shot, nor the final battle; it is the turning point.

This ideology that has infected our nation is not going to be subdued if McCain/Palin wins. It took decades of associated indoctrination to create this situation. Four years from now we will again face this battle, perhaps more ferociously.

I would encourage everyone to read Liberal Fascism by Jonah Goldberg.

I am calling the Missouri Attorney General over Senator McCaskill lie about Sarah Palin’s American speech at Elon.

This is pretty damn scary. This is more than socialism. This is stalimnism, communism.

McCain should seize the moment And Go before the National Press Club and indict Obama on several counts in a gravely serious speech.

"Dear Nathan,

I have read your note and must express my regrets. To attack my opponent in such an egregious manner would undermine and denigrate the honorable way in which I wish to conduct my campaign.

Reaching across the aisle means accepting my opponent's faults as they are.

Remember, we are all God's children.

Sincerely,

John McCain.

Anyone else out there stocking up on ammo? This may be a blessing in disguise. The Commies always did like a good “purge” now and then.

If you think this is bad, just wait until Stalin Jr. gets in power.

The FBI will give this all the attention that they gave
to the thefts by Sandy Berger(Democrat) and the murders
of dozens of people by Whitey Bulger(Democrat).

McCaskill is the most dirtiest politician ever! Right from the start, with her Michael J. Fox ad.

If elected, BHO will attack our 2nd amendment rights. Right now, everyone who is eligible should buy a gun and learn how to use it. This will send a clear message to BHO, the other DemoSocialists, and all criminals.

Every socialist dictator in history has made sure that citizens are not armed, including Hitler, Stalin, Kim, Castro, and Mao. BHO intends to be a socialist dictator. There is nothing more important than voting for McCain to make sure it does not happen.

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot

I thought we lived in America until this a$$ hat showed up.

A super majority for one party in the Senate and the same in the House, with Pelosi as speaker? Fascim central.

I feel like we’ve been thrown in the Colosseum. We don’t want to be there, but they’re about to send out the lions.

I sold all my rifles (except a mauser) when McCain went ahead in the election, even a brand new AR. We needed the money.

Nuts.
