- inactive, on 11/04/2008, -11/+110Lets see those lawsuits! It is time to pay the piper!
- sonoman, on 11/04/2008, -7/+84Yep, I heard an interview with an Obama supporter who needs a job and got his first offer to canvas for Repubs. They briefed him by telling him to say he was a "volunteer", and he's not, they paid him.
- algaeturd, on 11/04/2008, -9/+55Oh look! More lies and low tactics from the right! It's the only game they know. Be vigilant tomorrow of EVERYONE as they try to rig and steal the election. Call your local media, the national media, the DNC, and the Huffpost hotline to report ANY problems or questionable actions by the REPUGS.
Let's do this and send them packing. - wagnerboi, on 11/04/2008, -8/+51More o' that fine GOP transparency and integrity in action.
- ProLick, on 11/04/2008, -6/+43Need lawsuits. They certainly aren't going to come after the election if Republicans win. They'll get buried and the Supreme Court will be happy to rebury it.

- charm803, on 11/04/2008, -2/+31ACORN didn't lie about them being paid or volunteers.
- flashthom, on 11/04/2008, -2/+30Speaking of paid volunteers, "1smartWoman" (I employ quotes quite liberally here) joined Digg yesterday. She has dugg 3 stories and commented 21 times. Her comments are mostly incoherent rightist diatribes, assailing Obama and defending the GOP ticket. Oh ya, and she likes caps a lot.
How much are they paying you per post, my dear? - inactive, on 11/04/2008, -4/+32I've been volunteering for the Obama campaign for three months, and never once did I have to sign any sort of NDA, and neither did anyone I came into contact with the entire time. In fact we were all greatly encouraged to discuss the details of the process in order to get other people excited about it and want to be involved.
- Mujokan, on 11/04/2008, -5/+32Not exactly the scoop of the century. Maybe my outrage meter is broken by the straight out lies McCain and Palin have been peddling at their rallies.
- thenekkidtruth, on 11/04/2008, -5/+31Lawsuits need to be raining down like confetti.
- eagee, on 11/04/2008, -8/+34I love that republicans are trying to compare this to ACORN which has been cleared of any and all wrongdoing.
- zenbud, on 11/04/2008, -5/+24All caps no less - you realize that ACORN registers voters - they still have to show up, show id to vote. So moronic. You must be from texas.
- Pimptastic, on 11/04/2008, -0/+17And some people need that $10 an hour to survive. offending your ideals and being a sellout is probably the last thing on this guys mind.
- mikesoba, on 11/04/2008, -1/+16Did ACORN claim they worked for the Democratic Party? Time for a new handle.
- digitalhoodie, on 11/04/2008, -3/+18the way the republican party sees it... they were telling all these people they were volunteers, so they thought they didn't have to pay anymore...

King County prosecutors filed felony charges Thursday against seven people in what a top official described as the worst case of voter-registration fraud in state history, while the organization they worked for agreed to keep a better eye on its employees and pay $25,000 to defray costs of the investigation.
The seven submitted about 1,800 registration cards last fall on behalf of the liberal Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or ACORN, which had hired them at $8 an hour to sign people up to vote, according to charging documents filed in Superior Court.
...face eight counts of providing false information on a voter registration, a felony punishable by up to one year in prison. - JigoroKano, on 11/04/2008, -3/+16Maybe because it didn't happen.
- TheSkunkMonkey, on 11/04/2008, -1/+12I also know that no one is going to show up at the polls claiming to be Mickey Mouse and attempt to vote.
Therein lies the difference, the ACORN issue is about imaginary voters, the Republicans are ***** with real voters.
You can register all the fake people you want, it will have zero effect come election day. - cheviot, on 11/04/2008, -4/+15They were instructed to lie to voters. You don't see a problem with that?
Oh wait... now that I looked at your digg history it makes sense. Silly question. - inactive, on 11/04/2008, -3/+14Have you just come back to digg?
At least 4 HuffingtonPost or DailyKos articles has been the norm for the last 5 months.
It's an insult to your intelligence to read some of these articles.
It's not that I hate the Democrats, it's I hate ***** bias media.
That goes for Fox aswell. - Orngarth, on 11/04/2008, -4/+15I saw this clip a few days ago but wasn't sure what the Repubs were trying to cover up. Now it all makes sense.
- febrilefiend, on 11/04/2008, -1/+11well, another informed person that apparently missed McCain speaking at an ACORN event. I guess it's all good if they are working for you at the time.
- inactive, on 11/04/2008, -0/+10Yeah, try keeping your ideals when you have rent to pay.
Yay, paid slavery. - cmootoo, on 11/04/2008, -1/+10Entropy
Lets see how many of those dead people or cats show up to vote. For all the investigations into voter fraud only GOP operatives have been jailed this election. The ACORN thing was a bad attempt at a diversion from a desperate GOP. - letdowntourist, on 11/04/2008, -3/+12It's an AP article reposted on Huffington Post. I wish it was coming from any other source so I wouldn't have to tolerate the same ***** comments like this over and over and over again. THE SITE IS NOT THE SOURCE.
- MissMyZDtv, on 11/04/2008, -7/+16I do not see how one can vote for McMoron and Sarah Parrot when they constantly lie in their ads an use hate mongering tactics. I love how these "pro life" candidates just love to throw honorable soldiers (boys and girls barely 18 yrs old) into gunfire in deserts far away, and tell little girls who've been raped by incestual family members that they have to be punished in the name of God and go full term. Yup - GOP monsters...
- Treshnell, on 11/04/2008, -1/+10According to my Republican friends, any and all events showing Republicans in bad light are blatantly made up lies and scandals, but anything that shows the Democrats in bad light gets 'covered up.'
- ncc74656m, on 11/04/2008, -3/+12The biggest problem is that none of these states where this is happening are willing to prosecute people for these kinds of crimes! I bet if you make an example out of a few of these people sending around the flyers and making calls to college campuses and Hispanic neighborhoods, and send them up the river for a few years, it'd stop really quick. And if it doesn't? Just start prosecuting every last one of them. As with any crime, once the punishments become severe enough, it tends to stop.
- mikesoba, on 11/04/2008, -1/+10ACORN did not claim to be volunteers for the Democratic Party. ACORN is not associated with Democratic Party. Your apparent candidate spoke before and praised ACORN. Where's the analogy that you referred to in your first post? There is none. Republicans lie every time they open their mouths, And it's time you changed your handle, since it is misleading.
- JoeMondo, on 11/04/2008, -1/+9Political campaigns lying to voters matters. Period.
- NJank, on 11/04/2008, -1/+8settle down. this time tomorrow, huffpo articles will be few and far between. well, at least for about 3.5 years.
- flashback99, on 11/04/2008, -3/+10only the unpopular have to pay people to support them
- AtraNoxVII, on 11/04/2008, -0/+6Haha I never really look at the source when I scroll through the pages but the comments are all Huff this Huff that, sounds like a drug convention.
- inactive, on 11/04/2008, -2/+9Your nickname is poetic.
- JoeMondo, on 11/04/2008, -0/+6razobladez, you community college *****.
The right to abortion is based on the autonomy of the mother to decide what to do with her body, and to not be forced to be an incubator by the state. - malex, on 11/04/2008, -3/+9If you can prove that anyone in the Obama Campaign was in anyway responsible for this one guy, who would have at least put on a different shirt if it was a sincere attempt to deceive voters, then there would be something to report. It sounds more like he was just mocking you.
In this story, the real one, the Republican Party payed temporary staffers to do campaign work, and specifically instructed to pretend that they were unpaid volunteers.
I suspect the difference is completely lost on you, isn't it. - JoeMondo, on 11/04/2008, -6/+12Protection of minorities? On a message board?
This isn't the ***** government. You haven't suffered the loss of any civil rights due to your minority status.
Reality has a pro Obama bias. You're in the minority. Deal with it. - letdowntourist, on 11/04/2008, -3/+9It's an AP article, dumbass. If you were more interested in informing yourself than your partisan ***** and had clicked the link, you would have seen it is a cut and paste repost of an associated press news story. This was on the front page of Yahoo News this morning too, but I guess they're part of the vast conspiracy to elect a terrorist as well. Right?
- DreKor, on 11/04/2008, -1/+7I love free chicken. Oh wait, you were talking about black people, weren't you. You're an ass hole.
- vivalanation734, on 11/04/2008, -16/+21Huffington is still stupid.
- EatSleepJeep, on 11/04/2008, -6/+11Link to a single case of ACORN-influenced VOTER fraud.
- scottknick, on 11/04/2008, -0/+5Here's the same AP story from that notoriously liberal rag, the Lexington Herald-Leader:
http://www.kentucky.com/676/story/579777.html
So now that all the Huffpo haters have temporarily STFU, I will say this: This really isn't about GOP election fraud. It's about how simply pathetic the Republican ground game has been. The only time you hire people to say they're volunteers is when you ain't got no volunteers. - thenekkidtruth, on 11/04/2008, -2/+7Yep, let's put every single Mickey Mouse who shows up at the polls in JAIL FOR LIFE!!! Especially Republican Mark Jacoby, who, as it turns out, is the only person in years who's going to stand trial for "voter fraud": http://tinyurl.com/635p7l
Meanwhile, Cap'n, enjoy the day because beginning tomorrow, willfully ignorant opinions like yours will be ignored for at least the next 8 years. We done with lying neocons - good riddance to bad sewer scum. - olasonn, on 11/04/2008, -4/+9A brain?
- padraic2112, on 11/04/2008, -0/+5> However the Pro Life people can say that the probability of that "embryo" coming
> to full term and becoming a living being is almost 100%
This is, quite frankly, a ridiculous proposition. Miscarriages of fertilized eggs are extremely common; many don't implant in the uterine wall, others don't make it very far past the blastocyst phase. Somewhere between 30 and 70% of fertilized eggs fail to implant in artificial insemination; while it's certainly possible that a "normal" pregnancy may (very heavily stress that "may") have a higher success rate than "natural" insemination, there is no reason to support the idea that this difference is an order of magnitude. Carrying a baby to term is not in any wise a foregone conclusion... an admittedly unscientific survey among friends and family indicates that early term miscarriages represent about 40% of viable births, and later term miscarriages represent another 10-15%... and most of those interviewed are non-smoking, healthy middle class couples who were actively trying to get pregnant.
I welcome any robust scientific analysis of miscarriage rates that you can present to refute this. - CaptDD, on 11/04/2008, -1/+6If we do not hold Campaign's responsible then what will happen next time?
Probably more of this kind of UN-AMERICAN illegal voter fraud?
Let's triple penalties for voter fraud, that will get these jerks attention! - alais, on 11/04/2008, -4/+9You fail @ demographics.
