“Palin’s acceptance speech was and is a historic event. It will go down in history as a defining moment in Republican Party history where all of those searching for leadership and guidance in the party found it.”
I totally agree! It was a wonderful speech, given by a wonderful, confident, well-qualified woman.
Someone posted a link on FR the other day to a Hillary Clinton forum (they’re PUMAs, too, though some posting there are Pubbies - but all try to be respectful). I ventured over there out of curiosity and have been reading some of their threads. While I, and I think I can safely say most of those that post on FR are not big fans of Hillary, they are very much so and also feel she was totally cheated in the primaries and selection of the Dim candidate. Most of them are now McCain supporters, especially after hearing Gov Palin’s speech - - they all thought she was terrific.
Many have changed or are changing to I or R, call it the unDemocratic party, and have given and may continue to give money to the McC-P campaign (they were even worried about getting their $s in by 8-31).
One of the things they’ve discussed and has been discussed on FR is voter fraud. They are contacting the McCain campaign and/or their local RNC, FNC, and/or their Sec of State when they’re seeing it and are urging members to volunteer as Poll watchers.
I’m seriously thinking about volunteering as a poll watcher this year (if I can work it in to my very busy work schedule). There have already been many claims and some charges (particularly against ACORN), looking at allowing students in VA to register there, etc., etc. I think this year more than ever, the Dims are going to try to steal the election. W Sarah comming on-board, that’s probably the only way they can win it!
Here are a couple of recent examples of attempt or outright fraud:
The Vote Fraud Continues

In yesterday’s mail at my house I recieved a summons for jury duty addressed to some guy I never heard of. THAT MEANS THE GUY IS REGISTERED TO VOTE AT MY ADDRESS. Checked with the condo manager who has lived here forever. No one by that name EVER LIVED HERE. I intend to find out which precinct this phantom is supposed to be voting in and lay the trap for the perp who comes in to cast a ballot for said phantom. Last November when I was an Election Judge I recognized one of the voters because he had voted in another precinct that I worked in the previous election. Fellow Freepers, this is one of the new vote scams. They register multiple phantoms and then cast a ballot for each in the election. I think the key is to catch the perp while voting and arrest him.

A NEW MEANING TO GET OUT THE VOTE: Voter registration mailing misguided

Dipped Jewitt has the purrfect opportunity to make sure the interests of pets are represented in the upcoming election.
She recently was given the chance to vote via mailed registration materials sent by the USAction Education Fund, which describes itself as a national nonprofit, nonpartisan group that has organized voter-registration drives since 2004.
But there’s one problem - Dipped Jewitt is a cat.

More Milwaukee Voter Fraud... Name that Party?

Milwaukee has discovered some more voter fraud with 10 more voter registration workers are being investigated by Wisconsin authorities. Fittingly, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel covered the story in its paper on August 29. Unfittingly, the Journal Sentinel forgot one, tiny aspect of the story... that the voter fraud was perpetrated by Democrats. In fact, one of the organizations, ACORN, is intimately linked with Barack Obama.

CLEVELAND — A national organization that conducts voter registration drives for low-income people has curtailed its push in Cuyahoga County after the Board of Elections accused its workers of submitting fraudulent registration cards.
The board is investigating the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now. Results of the inquiry could be turned over to the county prosecutor.
Board employees said ACORN workers often handed in the same name on a number of voter registration cards, but showing that person living at different addresses. Other times, cards had the same name listed, but a different date of birth. Still another sign of possible fraud showed a number of people living at an address that turned out to be a restaurant.

Obama disguising ties to radical leftist group? (CSI/ACORN)

JAFFA, Israel – Did Sen. Barack Obama’s campaign attempt to hide a paid working relationship with a radical leftist organization that has admitted to major financial improprieties and has been convicted in numerous major voter fraud scandals?
That question is being openly asked by the Republican National Committee after it was disclosed Obama’s campaign paid more than $800,000 in services to Citizen Services Inc. (CSI), a nonprofit organization that is an offshoot of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or ACORN.
ACORN is the nation’s largest community organization of low- and moderate-income families. It has held violent, disruptive protests, seeks to regulate banks, supports left-leaning education policies, is accused of working on urging partisan voter turnout for elections, and seems to promote driving businesses from cities.
CSI is headquartered in New Orleans in the same building as ACORN. The three directors of CSI are also top leaders of ACORN. The two groups have close financial ties.

Editorial: Soros Poised for Payback on His Political Investment
DC Examiner ^ | Aug. 28, ‘08 | staff
Posted on Sunday, August 31, 2008 10:21:52 AM by T.L.Sink
It’s bad enough that American taxpayers have to bail out the privately owned, tax-exempt Freddie Mae and Freddie Mac. But it’s truly outrageous that tax dollars will also go to groups involved in voter fraud and illegal immigration. The small print in the $42 billion bailout passed by Congress and signed by Bush requires those two government-sponsored mortgage giants to deposit 4.2 percent of all new mortgages they underwrite into the National Affordable Housing Trust Fund. Here’s the catch. The Trust Fund - the largest expansion of federal housing assistance since LBJ’s Great Society - is required to make grants to organizations that have “demonstrated the experience and capacity to carry out the proposed Trust Fund activity.” Which means that money can easily be siphoned off to groups such as La Raza and the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN). ACORN is heavily funded by George Soros. La Raza, which opposes all efforts to stop illegal immigration, and ACORN, members of which have been convicted of voter registration fraud in several states, are each eligible for $234 million under Section 134: Grants for Housing Counseling Assistance. These morsels are just a taste of what’s to come if Obama wins and Democrats gain veto-proof majorities in Congress. Obama will give billions more tax dollars to radical non-profits like Soros’ ACORN and La Raza. Soros - a long-time Obama donor - will expect a return on his investment.
