so you want me to believe that he attempted to get ralph nadar on the ticket to trick them into not voting for obama?

They are SOOOO afraid McCain might actually beat Obama, they are pulling out all the stops. It's kind of humorous.

There have been some ACORN canvassers arrested for voter registration fraud - eight I believe.

Hmmmm. I guess we'll have to wait & see what all come out. But I noticed this in one of the many Palin/money/kids threads this morning.... why do republicans ALWAYS change the subject??? Are they learning this childish tactic from their leaders? Or is it a form of attention deficit,not being able to focus on the subject presented? Just watch: Mention ANYTHING McCain,and right away they yell OBAMA!!

? There was another thread with this same title where I posted the below, but it seems to have disappeared. So I'm reposting it here.

Stories about Palin's clothes distract us from stuff like this. You'd almost think the Republicans put that story out there themselves.

So who actually threatens to "destroy the fabric of democracy," as John McCain last week accused ACORN temp workers of plotting? Why, turns out it's the Republicans, and the McCain camp may be tightly tied in to at least two elements of it.

You'll get to know Mark Jacoby, "YPM", Nathan Sproul, and the difference between voter registration fraud and vote fraud a lot better than you ever wanted to over the next two weeks.

Keith Olbermann: It was less than one week ago when Senator John McCain on national television warned the nation about a grave threat to democracy, maybe even quote "destroying the fabric of democracy".... why have McCain and Sarah Palin stopped sounding the trumpet on this grave threat over the last few days? No, he didn't just forget.

McCain's charge was that the national grassroots group, ACORN was committing widespread voter fraud, disenfranchising voters by registering fictional voters, and Barack Obama had helped to fund ACORN. As we have explained previously, some part-time workers have been accused of ripping off ACORN because fictional voters do not vote.

But, there may be other reasons McCain has dropped the voter fraud rhetoric, namely new reports that McCain himself has funded not one, but two Republican owners of voter registration firms, both of whom are embroiled in very real charges of very real and concerted efforts to disenfranchise real voters.

Thanks for the links,delusianne !! MUST be why all of a sudden there's not much mention of ACORN, eh??

[delusianne]

And notice since it was removed as a talking point, the Repugs on here arent so interested in ACORN (or, as they call it, "Acorn") anymore either.
