Obama seeks delay in voter fraud investigation
Jim Brown - OneNewsNow - 10/24/2008
Barack Obama's presidential campaign is pressuring the Department of Justice to put off a probe of voter registration fraud allegations leveled against the now infamous liberal group ACORN.
Lawyers for the Obama campaign have written U.S. Attorney General Michael Mukasey, asking him to delay any investigations of voter fraud until after the election. The Obama campaign's general counsel, Robert Bauer, says the FBI should instead be investigating those who have lodged complaints of voter registration fraud against groups like ACORN. Bauer contends that concerns about voter registration fraud are "manufactured allegations" being used to intimidate and disenfranchise low-income voters.
Former Oklahoma Republican Congressman Ernest Istook is a distinguished fellow for government relations at the Heritage Foundation. He says the Obama campaign is encouraging ACORN to continue its "nefarious" conduct.
"They're saying that they think that there's a plot between the McCain campaign and the Justice Department to suppress voter turnout by complaining about voting fraud and irregularities in registration, and so forth," says Istook.
"Naturally, they pooh-pooh the very notion of the problems that have been uncovered -- hundreds of thousands of questionable voter registrations, [including] one man in Ohio who says ACORN got him to register to vote 72 different times."
Istook says ACORN and "its minions" represent a large part of the Obama base, so the senator's camp is trying to keep them motivated by standing up for them and "showing them they have will have a friend and a protector in the White House."
U.S. criminal statutes say that someone who either is involved in a voter registration fraud effort or casts a fraudulent vote himself could receive up to five years in prison.
DUUUUUUHHHHHH!
Is this SATIRE??????? Obama is a CHEAT backed up by the head cheaters, ACORN.
This should expose them for the criminals they are...let’s hope the jusitce dept continues....
Folks, this is some serious stuff. People like Glenn Beck and all the other ones thinking that a Messiah Election will lead to another Reagan Revolution in 2012 need to see what’s going on here. If they steal this election, we will never get back into power. They’ll have voter fraud in play to overrule 60% of the country and there won’t be anything we’ll be able to do about it. Pretty Scary.
Just wait til Hussein gets control of DOJ and FBI. It’s all over, folks.
Any criticism directed at any of Hussein’s thugs and gangs will be met with FBI investigations and DOJ threats.
Police state coming soon.
LLS
What is his name again...Hussein! Why wouldn’t The One deceive the people!?!
I’m outraged. The Dallas Cowboy offensive line should vote early and often.
Birds of a feather.
You want proof Obama and his Demonrats are actively involved in this? This is it! The audacity they have to deliberately work to undermine our form of government for their greedy power-hungry hands. This is an act of war as far as I’m concerned and Republicans and anyone who loves this country has the obligation to get enraged about this and call these ba***rds out on this and take action NOW. They are seeking to delay this so they can STEAL the election and then have every branch of gov’t under their thug control and conveniently drop this. Who’s going to hold them accountable? It is clear if they win this election they plan on entrenching ACORN and these thugs in the ‘election’ process so there will never be any chance of overturning their power. I’m getting to the point where I would take up arms against these ghouls. They are completely out of control and Obama is a tyrant in waiting.
Oh, stop that. If you want to proclaim doom after the election, be my guest.
But all this hand-wringing and declaring things "over" before Election Day is a bit premature, as well as annoying.
See my tagline.
Yes, this is essentially an act of war. You are right in that this is a very serious election and Beck, Limbaugh, etc. need to wake the hell up. As you say, ACORN will be enabled even more(imagine that!) and entrenched in the election process, dissent will be silenced, not to mention the Demonrats passing voting rights for criminals of all sorts and all illegals and that sort. God help us, but this is a very dire time in our nation. We are committing suicide if Demonrats win this.
Can they be any more arrogant?
“Police state coming soon.”
Then it will be time to reach for weapons.
BO is entitled to the presidency. Michelle My Belle told the African paper that no law would stand in his way. And with our toothless Justice Dept. only willing to go after Whites in this country, Michelle and BO are confident that nothing will be done to punish their stealing the election.
With huge majorities of fellow travelers in both House and Senate, they may just decide to change the term limit rule as well. Now that’s what you call “audacity”!
” I’m getting to the point where I would take up arms against these ghouls.”
It very well may come to that. May God be with us.
This is the first election I have seen where one party has used cheating as part of its campaign strategy.
“We are committing suicide if Demonrats win this.”
It won’t be so much suicide (because I sure as hell am not voting for these pukes) as it will be murder: These fascists will stop at NOTHING! These vile pukes are hellbent on destroying my beloved America. They will do ANYTHING to get and keep power. We must be prepared to respond in kind if they do.
