The Republican Voter Fraud Hoax
The Republican voter fraud hoaxDonald Duck and the Dallas Cowboys won't steal the election for Obama. Acorn's only crime is registering Democratic voters.

Barack Obama and the Democrats are stealing the election. Massive voter fraud is being carried out, even as we speak, by their henchmen, known by the innocuous sounding Association for Community Organisations for Reform Now, or Acorn. Clever bastards.

The only problem? Despite the screaming wall-to-wall coverage of "Democratic voter fraud in 11 swing states" as seen on Fox News and even the once-respectable CNN, none of it's true. None of it.


In just the last week, we've had a phoney stunt raid in swing state Nevada (where Acorn had been cooperating with officials for months, concerning problem canvassers they'd long ago fired); a Republican election official in swing state Missouri tell Fox News that she's being beseiged with fraudulent registration forms from Acorn (in a county where they've not done any registration work since August); a Republican sheriff in swing state Ohio, who, the very next day, suddenly requested the names and addresses of hundreds of early voters

Investigation into Trashed Voter Registrations

(Oct. 13) -- Federal, state, and local officials are gathering information about allegations of voter registration fraud that were first raised Channel 8 Eyewitness News.

An employee of a private voter registration firm alleges that his bosses trashed registration forms filled out by Democratic voters because they only wanted to sign up Republican voters.

The allegations have set off a political firestorm stretching from Las Vegas to Washington D.C., and beyond.

As with everything else in this election year, it's now become a political football being tossed between the two parties, with charges and countercharges, but at its core, there still remains the matter of registration forms that were ripped up and tossed in the trash.

Who did it, and why? That's what official agencies will try to determine. On Tuesday afternoon, Las Vegan Eric Russell and his girlfriend took a packet of documents to the Las Vegas FBI office but left before filing a formal complaint about what Russell says was a deliberate effort to disenfranchise local voters.

Russell worked for a company called Voters Outreach of America, along with 300 other people. He says he got into a beef with the company over a pay dispute, and witnessed his bosses ripping up registration forms that had been filed by democrats.

"They were thrown away in the trash. I grabbed them out," said Eric Russell. One of those forms belonged to Daren Gray, who was shocked to learn that the re-registration form he filled out was never turned in.

"I'm pretty mad, upset. I'm still gonna vote," said Daren Gray. Russell doesn't know how many democratic registrations were tossed in the trash but guesses the number could be very high since Voters Outreach of America operated in Las Vegas for more than two months.

The FBI confirms that it is gathering information about the case but stopped short of calling it an investigation, saying it wants to talk to Russell again. Secretary of State Dean Heller issued a statement that his office is also taking a look, trying to figure out what if any laws might have been violated.

Nevada Democrats came out swinging Wednesday. "Most disturbing is that Voter Outreach of America is being paid by the National Republican Party and we ask how can people have faith in government if a national party is involved in trickery in depriving people the right to vote," said Clark County Commissioner Yvonne Atkinson Gates.

The Republican National Committee acknowledges that it hired Voters Outreach of America to register voters, but in a statement said it had zero tolerance for any kind of fraud.

Local party officials said there is no way the GOP would instruct the company to trash democratic registrations. However, similar problems have been alleged elsewhere. In Washoe County, the registrar says he too has turned over information to the FBI about Republican backed registration efforts.

In Oregon, the same company that was operating here has been criticized for its tactics in signing up voters. There, it used the name America Votes, which is actually the name of a Democratic organization.

Employees in Las Vegas say they too were told that the name of the company was America Votes. "They confused us with the name. They told us one thing and told the temp force something else. They told us America Votes," Russell said.

So, why has this company used the name of a Democratic organization as it signs up voters here and in Oregon? It's a question Eyewitness News is investigating.

In the meantime, Eric Russell is about to learn what it's like to stir the pot. He has already been attacked in other media accounts as a disgruntled employee who was fired and displayed a violent temper.

Russell was a disgruntled employee. He admits that if he had been paid, he probably wouldn't have talked. Even so, discrediting him doesn't explain the existence of the trashed registration forms.

With a 14% lead in the polls, and rising, Obama hardly needs to "steal" a few hundred votes here and there.

John McCain and Sarah Palin are SELF DESTRUCTING in spectacular fashion.

The Republican Party won't change until they hit rock bottom.

Those who love liberty should be hoping for a crushing Republican defeat on election day.

I, for one, will be laughing my ass off when McCain gets POUNDED on election day. I will raise my glass in toast to McCain's epic FAIL!

Anyone who votes for McCain is only encouraging the status quo.

If you like where the Bush/McCain policies have taken us - pointless and never ending war, government spying on its own citizens, massive government growth, the erosion of Constitutional rights, etc, then by all means, vote for McCain and 4-More Years.

Otherwise, vote for anyone but McCain- and I mean anyone- I don't care if its Barr, Baldwin, Nader, Obama, or even the Socialist Worker's Party.

Yup, they don't want to admit that they are going to get blown away for a very simple reason, McCain and Palin are a-holes.

Can anyone remember the last time a candidate for President who can best be described as an angry, nasty, grumpy old man won?

Despite what they say about negative campaigning, Americans don't want "angry" in their President, especially when the economy is bad.

They want someone who appears to be an inspiring, confident, steady leader who can offer change from the current situation and lead them through the hard times (see Ronald Reagan circa 1990) not an hot tempered, bitter, and erratic politician from the party that was in charge when things went south to begin with.

Watch the last debate (or watch the next one). "That one" is calm, rational, even affable. McCain is scowling, angry, and won't even acknowledge "that one" is in the room.

From this point on, Obama doesn't need to do anything- just look calm and confident, and let McCain and Palin finish themselves off.

My prediction for the next debate- McCain will turn up the "angry man" routine about 5 notches- he'll throw the kitchen sink at Obama (Rev. Wright, ACORN, Ayers, and whatever else he thinks he can get away with). Obama will remain calm and rational. GAME OVER!
