Prosecutors won't be posted at polls
Sun Sentinel ^ | September 24, 2008 | Associated Press

Posted on 10/02/2008 1:36:45 PM PDT by Bluebird Singing

The Justice Department said Tuesday it will not station criminal prrosecutors at the polls on Election Day after civil rights groups said minority voters who are expected to turn out in unprecedented numbers because of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama could be intimidated. The move reverses a decades-long practice that put prosecutors on the lookout for voter fraud, ballot access violations and other polling problems.

“Dear Lord, it’s just one thing after another and it’s overwhelming. I think Obama already has control of everything.”

I think Obama is a puppet on a string. He’s too stupid to be in control. The fool can’t even speak without a teleprompter. We must look at those he associates with and who have propped him up.

Soros and Obama have been buddies for a long time.

Prosecutors? Just get GOP attorneys there ready to file suit and injunctions if needed so the DA’s can be ready.

they are just not bombing the pentagon right now but brainwashing kids and trying to lecture us into their view.

Like Karl marx said
we cannot use violence to push the view we have to get into positions of power, teachers, layers judges etc

They started in the 60’s and will not stop until they complete their goal
if we do not have any guts any more they will win

More information here

"In light of questions we have been asked regarding who will serve as election monitors, I want to inform the public that no criminal prosecutors will be utilized as election monitors on Election Day this year," acting Assistant Attorney General Grace Chung Becker said in a statement.

She added: "This decision was made as a precaution and is not the result of any instance of intimidation or complaint regarding any specific incident."

Becker and Attorney General Michael Mukasey met two weeks ago with about 40 representatives from voter access watchdogs, hoping to assure them that having a smooth Nov. 4 election is a top Justice Department priority. A heavy minority turnout is expected for Obama, who is black.

Although federal prosecutors have in past elections focused on preventing voter fraud — in other words, making sure voters are eligible to vote — Becker pledged to ensure ballot access for as many people as possible. She said the Justice Department will station hundreds of federal monitors around the country to make sure voters aren't unfairly kept from the polls. The monitors won't include prosecutors this year.

So there you have it. The Justice Department is no longer in the election integrity business. It is now in the "ensuring ballot access" business.

Yes, I know all of that. When I say Obama, it is all inclusive of the muslim and other socialistic countries, criminal associates and communistic democrats who are supporting him.

I've made many graphics of him and his buddies.

Tell them that The Justice Department (and the President) are supposed to uphold and defend our Constitution!

That there is a much greater threat of vote fraud than there is of some fuzzy claims of intimidation.

This is a disgrace!

I know. I sent out the YouTube videos of the Children Singing and the follow up one of Obama. He has big plans for the children, high schoolers and college kids.

Don’t forget Obama’s civilian security force that he wants to implement. He’s a fascist.

He’s talking about here, in the good old USA, folks.

The prosecutors won't be at the polls so that Obama's fascist thugs can do their thing.

Thats OK, they will be extensively video'd.

Gangstahs will run our polls, ( wE jUs geTtiN' oUt Da VoAt!).

If they even come near me, they get the porcupine quills.

Well, the President went in with a bang and is going out with a whimper.....or, correction....going out with payback barrages against his party for some reasons known only to him. It could be he hates and resents McCain and can't put it aside.

I think he's deliberately sticking it to us in this election. In fact, in my heart of hearts, I KNOW he is.

Ugh. Alberto Gonzales really wasn’t that bad. But Bush, as always, did a poor job of defending the things his administration did.

Meanwhile, the FEC bosses are not going to the Justice Department and FBI to investigate the huge amount of foreign donations flowing into the Obama campaign.

It isn’t just this.

Both parties have ZERO regard for law-abiding, tax-paying citizens.

We’re just a means to funding whatever their goals are.

If my single vote isn’t worth protecting—screw them.
