Will the Republicans Steal the Presidency? - Associated Content
associatedcontent.com -
How many people remember the heated race for the White House in 2000? I'm almost certain that Al Gore does. He was supposed to be crowned the next President of the United States, but instead, he was shifted in Florida at the election booth. In a state where none other than George W. Bush's brother was the Governor.
I thought for sure Gore was going to win until I saw the Bush family get on television and make a public announcement that their son was going to win in Florida, and it would be ridiculous to think otherwise. I knew at that moment that the dream was all over for the Democrats of the world.

Buzz up!Democratic presidential nominee Sen. Barack Obama's campaign distanced itself Thursday from its $800,000 payment linked to the liberal ACORN organization, which is under investigation in several states where it is suspected of filing fraudulent voter registrations.
Federal Election Commission reports show ACORN-affiliated Citizens Services Inc. got $832,598 from the Obama campaign for get-out-the-vote work during the primaries. But those payments stopped in May and the Obama campaign says they should not be an election issue.
"This is going to be an historic election with unprecedented voter participation, and we are committed to protecting the integrity of the voting process," Obama spokesman Nick Shapiro said. "We support local officials in their efforts to investigate any fraudulent behavior and the full prosecution of any illegal activities."
Still, the contributions to Citizens Services draw the Obama campaign closer to the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or ACORN, and the growing voter-fraud scandal that this week spread to the battleground state of Ohio.
The elections board in Cuyahoga County, which includes Cleveland, is reviewing about 65,000 voter cards submitted by ACORN after flagging 50 cards filled out for duplicate names, fictitious addresses, noncitizens and recycled names and addresses of currently registered voters, said board spokesman Mike West.
Similar probes reportedly are under way in other large Ohio counties.
Citizen Services is inextricably tied to ACORN. Along with nonprofit sister organization Project Vote, Citizens Services and ACORN share the same New Orleans address and the same executive staff while money flows freely between the three entities. In 1996, Project Vote's tax returns show it paid ACORN more than $4.6 million for campaign services and Citizens Services more than $779,000 for legal and administrative services.
The ACORN political action committee endorsed Mr. Obama for president.
Its national voter-registration drive - which is targeting low-income, minority and young voters who tend to vote Democrat and likely favor Mr. Obama at the polls - is implicated in investigations of bogus voter applications in a dozen states, many of them battlegrounds.
Voter registration is key to Mr. Obama's election strategy. First-time voters, especially students and minorities, helped fuel Mr. Obama's primary wins, and his campaign is looking for the same results to capture swing states such as Ohio on Nov. 4.

Have no doubt Americans are waking up and paying attention to what has been going on!
-
The whole ACORN thing is nothing more than a Karl Rove Republican Tactic. It was orchestrated by the Republicans. The facts are that todate Acorn has only 189 inappropriately completed applications. The 800 false ones were found in a REPUBLICAN County Clerk's office...and reported immediately by...THE RNC. It stinks of ROVE TACTICS..stupid MSM just parroting Republican talking points!
-
Duh! You still have to show an ID before you vote...So who are the idiots thinking you can register fake voters?
-
The Acorn Scandal is being used to distract Americans from the REAL thief occuring by the RNC through purging and caging voters!
-
The Republicans can't talk about the issues so they are instead making up LIES about Obama. Who wants four more years of the SAME? Oh yes...all those Americans "waking up" PLEASE Americans are not that STUPID. Obama ahead by 11 points and breaking away FASTER.

I hope the Republicans dont cheat again............
