Good job keeping this front and center.

McCain=Bush

Keep up the good work.

We want accountability..not excuses..no more excuses...I expect Dianne Fienstien and Chuck Schumer to lead the way for justice...by demanding for either impeachment or the resignation of A.G. Mukasey..(its the least those two can do...)

DOJ doesn't have standing at this stage of events. The Federal Election Commission does. My guess is that then have been active regarding ACORN allegations. I suspect that the FEC has pretty much found that ACORN is in broad compliance with election law. Had they found issues with ACORN they would have referred it to the DOJ and at that time they would have standing. As it is the DOJ is a rogue elephant throwing its weight around where it doesn't belong.

On another subject; Sarah Palin is not a pit bull in lipstick as she likes to proclaim. She is a charming Joseph McCarthy in a dress. Her charge that only red States are pro American States is straight out of the McCarthy playbook. Her involvement with the John Birch Society and the Alaskan sessionist group just cements who she really is.

This is absolutely deplorable, absolutely deplorable, I CAN'T WAIT TO THROW THESE BASTARDS OUT OF THE DOJ AND OUT OF OUR WHITE HOUSE.

What is worse is that, to varying degree, there has been a purge of career employees throughout our Federal government. Many of the people with knowledge how their agencies run and how to accomplish their missions been pushed out, replaced by cronies, donors, volunteers, etc. of Bush's Republican establishment. They've gutted our government, and by doing so, have caused considerable damage to America.

It's going to take a long time for our next president (which hopefully will be Obama) to get out the incompetents and get good people back. The fact that Obama's transition team is working hard to prepare (and the fact that the head of his team isn't a former lobbyist for Saddam Hussein) is a good sign.

So, now we can put impeachment back on the table? We will have to rush the Judicial Committee hearings, call Congress back in session, rush the "trial" in the Senate, and just maybe we can cut this administration short by 2 days. Sounds like a plan---or maybe just a Monty Python script.

Opposing ACORN is just another form of veiled (or not-so-veiled) recism.

How about this racist?

NOBODY seems to be making the connection between the McCarthy like rants of Michele Bachman and the ACORN voter fraud issues. Bachmann is a graduate of Oral Roberts University Law School. She is also a tax attorney. Guess who else is a graduate of ORU? MONICA GOODLING?.Remember her? She figured prominently in th voter fraud scandal that resulted in the FIRING of DOJ attorneys,like David Igelsias, who REFUSED to undertake BASELESS voter fraud cases in states where GOP were in tight races against DEMS?HELLO!!!!!

Correction on the Connection. Goodling attended Pat Robertson's Christian law school,Regent University. However, the tenets of both Roberts and Robertson's law schools were to expressly train Christian lawmakers who would go on to shape and reflect the Judeo-Christian values in the future, here in America. ORU law school is now defunct.

How do newly registered voters confirm that their registration is valid? can this be done now? is there a phone number for people to call if their registration has not gone through? Is there some proactive, preemptive action that can be taken here, or do they just find out their rights were stripped on election day?

Here's the type of "evidence" the DOJ "probe" is based on:
http://www.freep.com/article/20081017/NEWS15/81017065
I quote from the article,
"In Michigan, the Free Press reported last month that clerks were seeing numerous problems with registration cards turned in by ACORN, which led state Attorney General Mike Cox to look into the matter. This week, he announced the arrest of a man for allegedly falsifying six registration cards in Jackson, Mich. ACORN officials in Michigan argued that the timing – coming this week – appeared political, but an official in Cox’s office said that had nothing to do with it, that the investigation took time."
Do you believe this!?! Literally a federal case being made out of weighty piffle like 6 registration cards. A guy is in jail for this and Karl Rove flits around as free as a bird.
Honest to God, how do the Democrats look themselves in the mirror? This crap from right wing ops has been going on for years and years. Legitimate votes are kneecapped by the tens (perhaps hundreds) of thousands with these "challenges" brought by Rovian minions. It's only one tentacle in the suppress the vote octopus.
And that's to say nothing of the people who are intimidated into avoiding the ballot box altogether because of these tactics.
Such diabolical crap!

Voter intimidation and harassment by the repugs are going to be a huge issue in the last two weeks of this campaign. The Obama campaign has a web site to report abuse and is also actively recruiting volunteer attorneys to travel to battleground states to help protect voters. You can report abuse at an election site and also sign up to volunteer if you are an attorney.

This is strictly an Obama website. Common Cause has an "Election Protection" program but it is nonpartisan (supposedly). I called them and do not feel they would act with sufficient urgency. I know from my work in the primary for Obama that their system for dealing with voter harassment is much better than what Kerry had in 2004. Everything about their campaign is much better than Kerry's for that matter.

Mark Jacoby, who was arrested in Ontario and owns a firm hired by the California Republican Party, violated state registration laws, authorities say.

SACRAMENTO -- The owner of a firm that the California Republican Party hired to register tens of thousands of voters this year was arrested in Ontario late last night on suspicion of voter registration fraud.

State and local investigators allege that Mark Jacoby fraudulently registered himself to vote at a childhood California address where he no longer lives so he would appear to meet the legal requirement that signature gatherers be eligible to vote in California.

Jacoby's arrest by state investigators and the Ontario Police Department comes after dozens of voters said they were duped into registering as Republicans by his firm, Young Political Majors, or YPM. The voters said YPM tricked them by saying they were signing a petition to toughen penalties against child molesters. The firm was paid $7 to $12 for every Californian it registered as a member of the GOP.

Several agencies had launched investigations into Jacoby's activities, including the Los Angeles County district attorney's office, which issued the warrant for his arrest earlier this month on felony charges of voter registration fraud and perjury.

Here's something WE could get into robocalling with:

Inundated a few months ago, Mary-Kay Gamel, literature professor at U.C. Santa Cruz disabused all inquirers as to her purported authorship of an account of one family's nightmare week-long vacation to Turtle Island in Fiji circa 2000 WITH THE McCAIN CLAN.

The same account can now be found on another website, that of Neil Young, authored by Doctor Ana Dubey who is a practicing psychologist in San Francisco.

Given the amazing allegations made in the written account, it is not hard to understand why a mainstream media outlet or a political or current events website would touch it. Why suffer a storm of attack dogs, storm troopers (digital and otherwise) and Gordon Liddy wannabes?

Why would a major artist such as singer/songwriter Neil Young hazard the blowback from acting as an agent publicizing the allegations. He is known as having supported Ronald Reagan's re-election in 1984 and no one excepting a certifiable kook would suspect him of being a Rove operator of the left. He would not be so stupid as to feature the allegations in the way that he has without his lawyer and his record label's lawyers vetting Ms. Dubey and her allegations in equal measure.

Moreover, it is well known that Neil's father has had a career in journalism in Canada and has been quite well known and respected north of the border.

Artist Young has deep pockets. His label has deep pockets and the McCains can surely afford the finest lawyers in the nation.

Wake up people; there may likely be gold here:
