The ACORN Ice Cream Truck drove down my street today and I got it on video. (YouTube Video)

Voter registration fraud, thanks to ACORN, is so endemic in the swing states that it can swing the election in McCain's favor! "Take Back Your State" should be the battle cry of the McCain camopaign. McCain needs to show pictures of thousands of forged registrations provided by ACORN, and then run the video of Obama addressing ACORN and saying how ACORN would be central to his agenda as president. Hit the Obama $824K donation to ACORN also! They should show the map from NY Post online that shows the swing states and how they were systematically targeted by Obama and...

Do you think Sarah Palin is qualified to serve as Vice President of the United States?

What are upstanding, law-abiding American citizens to do when we see ACORN literally stealing this election with thousands of fraudulent voter registrations? Well, calling in the law is a good first step. A heroic federal judge (Reagan appointee - thanks Ronnie) in Ohio just jammed a stick in the spokes of ACORN's little scheme. And in other developments, it turns out that the Ohio Secretary of State is an ACORN mole.

I wonder if Obambi will try to deny that he ever met Odinga.

The economy is collapsing and the GOP is stuck with a candidate who doesn't know jack about economics. But what if Mitt Romney had won that hard-fought Florida primary and grabbed the nomination? Romney's whole business career was about turning around distressed companies. Plus, he's far less identified with George W. Bush than is McCain. And unlike McCain he might not have had to give up on Michigan, where his father was governor. (What state pray tell is McCain holding that Mitt couldn't?) I know there are plenty of strikes against the guy. But it's an interesting counterfactual to consider--one...

Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, another powerful Chicago-based political figure associated with the Rev. Jeremiah Wright and other long-time associates of Democratic Party presidential candidate Barack Obama, is leaving no doubt about what he thinks of the leader in the campaign for the White House. He says when Obama talks "the Messiah is absolutely speaking."

American soldiers can hump 60-pound packs through the broiling desert, kill for their country and die for it, but they can't always vote for their commander in chief. A solution has long been proposed: Just get rid of the Byzantine process which forces those in far-flung battle zones to vote by mail that must be delivered to thousands of local election districts across the United States. Advertisement But the Pentagon has found that bringing military voting into the 21st century is not so simple. The number of absentee military ballots applied for that ultimately get counted is consistently low. In...

Hannibal, MO — Stephen Webber knows the last thing on the mind of a combat soldier is punching a ballot. But Missouri is making it easier for Webber’s comrades who are still in battle zones to voice their political choices. The Marine reservist joined Missouri Secretary of State Robin Carnahan and Marion County Clerk Bob Ravenscraft in Hannibal on Friday to highlight the options. Technology allows military personnel voting options that were unimagined in past wars. “The important thing is to get the word out,” Carnahan said. “With the election coming up, it’s important that folks who are serving in...

Thousands of voter registration forms in Lake County, Indiana, are being checked for possible fraud. All the forms were submitted by a community group known as ACORN. "This is the first time that the Republican Party and the presidential election has ever had a real struggle. They are doing everything and anything to stop this vote from coming in in Lake County," Clay said. So on Friday morning, it's back to court. A federal judge in Hammond is scheduled to hear the case about the satellite voting offices and whether or not, they'll be put to use in Lake County.

WHATEVER IT TAKES... I have seen my fellow Freepers become dis-heartened by the endless barrage of pundits in the MSM who have already decided the election is over, in favor of Barak Hussein Obama. I admit, I too have fallen prey to the slick manipulation of polls by those who would put the Boy-King in charge of the greatest army on earth. My fear is that many of you have decided to do exactly what the string-pullers in the media want you to do, which is stay home on election day. My friends, now is the time to put on...

It’s been about two years now that the mainstream media has been reporting on the campaigns to win the 2008 presidential election. Sen. John McCain formed his exploratory committee in November 2006 and Sen. Obama announced his plans for an exploratory committee in January 2007. Both senators announced their candidacies for president in February 2007. The US Senate, where both candidates work, is in session every month of the year except for August. Sen. John McCain has served as a member of the senate since 1993 and Sen. Barack Obama since 2005. Some people might find it relevant that during...

Morning Talk Shows renewed thread because the old one seems lost.

Today, McCain-Palin 2008 released the following statement signed by 100 distinguished and experienced economists at major American universities and research organizations, including five Nobel Prize winners Gary Becker, James Buchanan, Robert Mundell, Edward Prescott, and Vernon Smith. The economists explain why Barack Obama's proposals, including "misguided tax hikes," would "decrease the number of jobs in America." The prospects of such tax rate increases under Barack Obama are already harming the economy. The economists conclude that "Barack Obama's economic proposals are wrong for the American economy." The proposals "defy both economic reason and economic experience."

In the light of Acorn's admission of voter fraud, and the reported inability to verify these thousands of newly registered, reregistered and reregistered voters (alive, dead, human and otherwise)...I'd like to propose a tactic which may make it more difficult to vote "early and often" on election day.

Remember what I wrote last month? “Watch Ohio.” Well, there’s news breaking tonight — and it’s good news for election integrity. A federal district court judge has found Democrat Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner guilty of violating federal election laws. The ruling goes to the heart of the ACORN-centered voter fraud epidemic spreading across the country. This is the second judgment against Brunner. Here’s the press release from the Ohio GOP:

A leading critic of Islam isn't surprised there has been virtually no coverage or action taken against a Muslim group that has been running an illegal "get out the vote" campaign in swing-state mosques. The group, Muslim Americans for Obama [MAFO], insists that all of its voter registration activity is non-partisan, despite the fact that its mission statement says it was launched in August 2008 "to provide a vehicle for Muslim-American supporters of Barack Obama to organize and mobilize our fellow citizens to get out the vote to elect Barack Obama the next president of the United States." Continuing, the...

Muslim vote is powerful, group told Examples are cited in Dearborn BY ZACHARY GORCHOW FREE PRESS STAFF WRITER December 24, 2006 Muslims played a critical role in some key elections this year.

Last night after the debate the McCain/Palin headquarters was vandalised. Someone threw a rock at the front window of the Worcester office on 149 Highland Street. The window was severely cracked and the police are being called upon to investigate. This action is very disappointing and I would hope the Democratic Party would condemn it.

Obama's organization is going to try to pull off fraud at the polls this election. COUNT ON IT! We Freepers need to be working at the poll places to ensure it doesn't happen. Your local county is looking for Precinct Officers to work at the polls on Election Day. My plan is to take a day off my job to work at the polls. If only a bunch of retirees are there, they might be intimidated by provistional ballots and Obama's shock troops. We need to protect our voting franchise from the Commies.

Says Issue Is "About Main Street, Not Wall Street" Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN), on Wednesday voted in favor of the over $700 billion bailout bill after he "emphasized that the bill is about Main Street, not Wall Street."

The bill now goes back to the House. “We have spent a great deal of time trying to improve the original proposal by Treasury Secretary Paulson, and after numerous conversations with Paulson, Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke, SEC Chairman Chris Cox, and FDIC Chairman Sheila Bair and...

WHEN AMERICAN CATHOLICS VOTE, they typically divide into roughly two groups — those who consider themselves “life-and-family issues voters” and those who consider themselves “social-justice issues” voters. A life-and-family issues voter will automatically disqualify candidates with a voting record supporting abortion or homosexual civil unions. A social-justice issues voter tends to be flexible on the life issues and will put more emphasis on war and peace, on poverty and taxes, and on the death penalty. The very existence of these “different kinds” of voters makes us ask what, exactly, is the relationship of all these issues? Are some more important...

Early this afternoon, the House defeated a $700 billion bailout of the financial markets, dealing a major blow to the Bush Administration’s plan to stop the hemorrhaging of Wall Street institutions. The plan failed on a 228-205 vote. Republicans voted 65-133 against the bailout, while Democrats voted 140-95 to pass it. It was a major victory for House Conservatives of the Republican Study Committee, led by Chairman Jeb Hensarling (R-Texas), former chairman Mike Pence (R-Ind.) and other floor fighters such as Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) and Jeff Flake (R-Ariz).

HARRISBURG, Pa.—The fall legislative campaign pits Republicans trying to draw votes from conservative Democrats in western Pennsylvania against Democrats hoping to capitalize on favorable voter registration trends in suburban Philadelphia. At stake is control of the House of Representatives, which swung over to the Democrats by a single seat in the pay-raise-outrage election two years ago that sent 24 incumbent lawmakers home in defeat. The balance of power in the state Senate, currently 29-21 in favor of the Republicans, is not likely to see significant change. Five weeks before an election, the campaign map is taking shape in a year...

As a stand against the bailout and the democrats I encourage each of you to contact your Representative and Senators tonight and tomorrow morning via phone, fax and email to vote "PRESENT" on the pending vote.
