DISQUS

CF42865 · 1 year ago

That's fine and dandy Mr. Carabelli. However, once you have thrown down the gauntlet it is not quite that easy to pick up.

The general public may not know or understand the invidious nature of the RNC and their actions in the past two elections, but there are those of the general public who DO pay attention. Is there any reason to believe that these activities will cease just because there is a new set of candidates making false claims to "Change", what ever the H**L that means????

I for one will be on hand as an election observer to make sure that these shinanigans do not impede the rights of voters to exercise their franchise.

The idea that people within the RNC, or anywhere else, feel it within their purview to disenfranchise certain voters is completely repugnant. If there was not some reason to stay in power, while lining their pockets so thoroughly, there would be no reason to fix the elections. But alas is this any stretch of the imagination considering the actions of the top of the RNC apparatus over the last 7 years??? You people may as well be wearing white sheets and pointy dunce caps. I thought we were beyond all this crap.

VIGILANCE !!!!!!!

Not End of Rant! I'm quite sure it will continue.

Thanks

Cowards are afraid of fair fights.

I'm glad the original story got published and shamed them into realizing how stupid of an idea it is. I know many ordinary Republican citizens are as appalled by the rest of us. It's Republicans like Carabelli that make that "R" a scarlet letter of shame for the rest of the party.

Why are these Republicans so afraid of democracy? I thought that's what we're fighting for and all that. But these people are too chicken to allow a fair vote because they actually worry that McCain doesn't have enough substance to win the election otherwise. So defend democracy until it looks like your candidate might lose. Then find every dirty underhanded trick possible to keep those who disagree with you from voting. I'm sure glad we've such a shining example of democracy for the world.

Stop being cowards and let's just have a fair vote. Ok?

Let me tell you the other side of this that you will not hear in the mainstream liberal media. The reason they are verifying voter registration is because the Obama campaign along with ACORN (Association of Community Organizations Reform Now) for which Obama previously worked as a community organizer are being investigated & charged with voter fraud. Milwaukee's top election officials are seeking criminal charges against ACORN for offering gifts to sign up voters, falsify driver's licenses numbers, Social Security numbers, and other information on voter registration cards. ACORN has child rapists, drug offenders, and forgery convicts on their payroll who are being PAID to vote for Obama by registering the felons (who are ineligible to vote) using DEAD PEOPLES NAMES AND VACANT FORECLOSED HOMES for legal addresses. The Obama campaign has admitted they failed to report $800,000 in campaign payments TO ACORN disguised as payments to a front group called "Citizens Services Inc." for "advanced work". Now with a wave of his magic wand Obama amended his Federal Election Commission forms to change the "advanced work" to "get-out-the-vote" work.

Who is guilty of voter fraud and trying to "fix" this election in their favor? And say again why the GOP should not be allowed to verify that EVERY voter is legally registered to vote, are able to provide identification, and are not felons and non-US citizens illegally registered using a deceased person's identity & vacant foreclosed homes as their address???

Wake up people....you are being FOOLED & USED by Obama, his media, & the Democratic Party and they fuel you by making you believe it is about "racial discrimination"!!!! Please take a little time to learn the facts & find the truth. And that would entail finding your news from a credible source. You are about to put yourself, your children, your friends, neighbors, & the entire United States in grave danger if you don't!

Effectively applied, there is no reason why Michigan's current laws on voter registration will not work to assure that residents of the state are voting. There were few and rare instances of voter fraud in this state prior to the voter ID law; if anything, the current law discourages economically disadvantaged from voting due to the difficulty of the registration process (i.e., fewer secretary of state offices, increased transportation costs to get to those offices, cost of obtaining and maintaining other supporting ID documents, so on).

The fundamental problem with the use of foreclosure lists is that it links property ownership to voter rights. Contesting a voter's residency is one thing -- do so with the current voter ID law -- but contesting voters based on status of property ownership is simply not acceptable.

Whether or not he said it, and whether or not he intends to do it are two different things. We see this kind of thing every election year, and if it's not Mr. Carabelli it will be someone else doing some other outrageous thing. Tell the Secretary of State of Michigan to intervene and not allow these kinds of voter suppression tactics to stand:

David Trott owns American Processing Company www.apcdefault.com

One must wonder if he is providing the "lists" that Carabelli refers to.

YA THINK !!!!

Please spell check. Mind, I wouldn't use literacy as a "caging" maneuver, but truly, it detracts from one's credibility when an individual writes ineptly. This nonpartisan message is brought to you courtesy of Americans for Literate and Logical Communication.

Thank you.

TO JAYEMDEE:

Its funny you criticize Ms. Melzer for her spelling when there isn't a single error in her article. Meanwhile, you exhibit poor grammar: "Mind, I wouldn't use literacy as a "caging" maneuver, but truly, it detracts from one's credibility when an individual writes ineptly." Mind...mind what? Mind is a verb, you know. It can't stand alone.

Its funny that most people in this country have not realized or accept the fact that cheating have become a fundemintal part of the American political process. The speeches, ads, the spinning and the overall process is scandalious. It seems that everyone is trying to find or create an advantage over his/her opponent and sometimes by whatever means necessary.
