This article paints a chilling picture of how Republicans are trying to supress votes.

This is particularly troubling:

Quote:

But election lawyers worry that the problems of voter registration by groups like ACORN provide an easy way for Republicans to later claim, if Obama wins, that he’s not the legitimate president.

Doesn't make it good, but it will happen if it is close no matter who wins.

However, you mention that you are concerned that the republicans will claim Obama isn't legit while at the same time citing an article that lays groundwork for why McCain wouldn't be legit.

Absolutly sickening!

Quote:

Dole's 30-second ad.... features a picture of Hagan with a female voice yelling "there is no God!" -- the clear implication is that the voice is Hagan's. In fact, the Democratic candidate is a Sunday School teacher and an elder at her Presbyterian church.

It is sad that they'd distort like that. It is really sad that if she did say it, it would likely disqualify her from office.

God advice for Democrats.

Who knew John Cusack had brains and eloquence?

Quote:

We are asked to stand over the abyss and experience our own destruction as another political game show -- just another surreal horse race. We watch millionaires and paid Republican hacks appear on television yelling "Socialist!" at Obama as if the Bolsheviks are coming to rape our daughters. These are the same people who oversaw the greatest upward redistribution of wealth in the history of this country. The same people who, through general lawlessness and a privatization frenzy, succeeded in shredding the Constitution, turning war, illegal domestic spying, security, border patrol, interrogation, and even torture into profitable industries gorging on the state.

John Cusack will say anything.

He may be able to write with brains and eloquence, but most of the interviews he gave promoting his Iraq movie a few months ago suggested otherwise.
