HANDICAPPED MAN ASSISTED TO VOTE FOR OBAMA...AGAINST HIS WILL

Somehow I get the feeling we're all going to end up in a concentration camp.

So, when does assistance become fraud? According to a mentally handicapped man in Georgia, when the assistant casts the vote for the candidate that he opposes. Jack Justice, a handicapped individual was taken to the Albany, GA voting booth by members of the adult rehab center he attends.

From WALB.com In GA:

Jack Justice has been voting since he turned 18. Typically his family takes him to their neighborhood precinct. This time Primus Industries, his adult day rehab program, took him to vote. His family was shocked, but what shocked them more was that Jack claims that his aide commandeered his vote.

"They told me to vote for Obama, I said no I wanted to vote for McCain," said Jack Justice, a voter.

Jack Justice says the person helping him, selected Obama's name. His sister says the family is often asked to sign a permission slips for trips, but for this they were never notified.

"No permission slips, no nothing, he just came home and said he had gone," said Nancy Justice, Jack's sister.

We questioned election officials about the procedure, who say they recall the group coming in to vote and an aide was helping the individuals, but they must sign an oath that they'll cast the ballot however the voter prefers.

In an update from WALB it turns out that at least five other handicapped voters were told that they had to vote for Sen Obama by that assistant.

The Albany Area Community Service Board which oversees Primus Industries said today they will bring in an external agency to investigate allegations made by Jack Justice. He told his family that an aide took him and five other mentally challenged clients to vote during their day rehabilitation program, and told them they had to vote for Barack Obama. Election officials say if the allegations prove true, the aide could face charges.

DOG AND GOLDFISH REGISTERED TO VOTE IN LAKE COUNTY, INDIANA

The headline of this article was "Possible voter registration fraud problems". "Possible"? Really? Ya think? More revealing news from Lake County, Indiana.

Local authorities say they have discovered discrepancies in hundreds of motor voter registrations. They say, in one case, someone registered a dog to vote.

"Campaigns and candidates need to realize that things can be wrong. We can't say with assurance that all the people in our voter rolls are valid residents at the address where they are registered," said Lake County Clerk Willard Helander.

Helander wants to get on the record before Election Day. She says there has been an unprecedented number of problems with the mail-in voter registration cards. The clerk also says registering by mail is based on an honors system, a system that has been breached in Lake County.

The clerk says she has seen various problems. For example, deceased voters have been revived. Residents who are not even eligible to vote have received cards. On one card, a person wrote, "cannot vote - not a US citizen." Another card had a voter named Princess. It turns out, 'Princess' is not only dead, but Princess was a goldfish. When asked about race or ethnic group, another person wrote canine. And these are the cards that were caught. The clerk is worried about the ones that weren't.

MORE THAN 30,000 FELONS STILL REGISTERED TO VOTE IN FLORIDA: DEMOCRATS OUTNUMBER REPUBLICANS 2 TO 1

No word on how many are Ron Paul supporters.

More than 30,000 Florida felons who by law should have been stripped of their right to vote remain registered to cast ballots in this presidential battleground state, a Sun Sentinel investigation has found.

Many are faithful voters, with at least 4,900 turning out in past elections.

Another 5,600 are not likely to vote Nov. 4 — they're still in prison.

Of the felons who registered with a party, Democrats outnumber Republicans more than two to one.

DEAR MR. OBAMA

GRASSROOTS WRITE-IN CAMPAIGN GAINING MOMENTUM: MANY DEMOCRATS CONSIDERING WRITING IN OBAMA'S TELEPROMPTER

A grassroots phenomenon is gaining some serious momentum. Scores of Democrats are now considering writing in a new, dynamic individual who seems to have all the rights answers and, according to many, is "unflappable" under pressure. Here's what some of are saying about the one known as "The Teleprompter":

"I mean, you got the first mainstream Computer-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy,". "I mean, that's a storybook, man." - Joe Biden

"For the first time in my adult life, I'm really proud of my country" - Bill Gates

"He's a typical teleprompter" - Barack Obama's Grandmammy

"Hey...What happened to that big-eared fella?...I kinda liked that guy" - Mahmoud Ahmadinejad

He's got my vote.

GONE FISHING: DEMOCRATS ELECT TO TAKE VACATION RATHER THAN DEAL WITH ENERGY CRISIS

The Pelosi House Democrats voted for a five week vacation in August and September without taking any action to lower gas prices. Here's the roll call.



No House Republicans joined the Democrats in their vacation vote. GOP.gov issued this statement:

Rep. Adam Putnam (R-FL), Chairman of the House Republican Conference, issued the following statement shortly after the House of Representatives voted 213-212 – with no Republicans voting in the affirmative – to adjourn for five weeks in August and September without taking action to lower gas prices and break our dependence on foreign oil:

"The Democratic Congress should be held in contempt for voting to skip town without dealing with America’s energy crisis.

“Democrats are out of touch, out of excuses, out of support and out of time. Americans are hurting. Independent polls show they overwhelmingly support House Republicans’ all-of-the-above energy solutions.

“It’s time Democrats put their boarding passes back in their pockets and get to work by voting on the American Energy Act.”

DID ABC MISREPRESENT AMOUNT OF SOLDIERS THAT SAY THEY ARE GOING TO VOTE FOR OBAMA?

Interesting passage from Right Wing Dog:

Just in case you happened to see the ABC News piece
(if you watch ABC News) with interviews of 5 military folks in Iraq - 3
planned to vote for Obama and 2 for Hillary; no mention of any McCain
supporters. Well, here’s the ”Rest of the Story.”

This from Major General (ret) Buckman

My niece, Katelyn, stationed at Baluud , Iraq was assigned, with others of her detachment, to be escort/guard/ watcher for Martha Raddatz of ABC News as she covered John McCain’s recent trip to Iraq

Katelyn and her Captain stood directly behind Raddatz as she queried GI’s walking past. They kept count of the GI’s and you should remember these numbers. She asked 60 GI’s who they planned to vote for in November. 54 said John McCain, 4 for Obama and 2 for Hillary.

Katelyn called home and told her Mom and Dad to watch ABC news the next night because she was standing directly behind Raddatz and maybe they’d see her on TV. Mom and Dad of course, called and emailed all the kinfolk to watch the newscast and maybe see Katelyn.

Well, of course, we all watched and what we saw wasn’t a glimpse of Katelyn, but got a hell’uva view of skewed news. After a dissertation on McCain’s trip and speech, ABC showed 5 GI’s being asked by Raddatz how they were going to vote in November; 3 for Obama and 2 for Clinton .. No mention of the 54 for McCain.

I don't doubt this account for one minute.

OBAMA TO VOTE FOR FISA BILL: ANOTHER REMARKABLE FLIP FLOP

Obama is going to vote for the FISA bill he previously swore to filibuster.

The Senate is finally expected to wrap up the bill updating the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act today, which includes the controversial provision of retroactive immunity for telecom companies facing lawsuit. While the bill splits Democrats, it's expected to pass with united Republican support.

Obama will be back for today's vote and has said he'll support final passage.

Strickland also notes Obama's seeming reversal on FISA: In December of last year, Obama's office said in a written statement, "Senator Obama unequivocally opposes giving retroactive immunity to telecommunications companies... granting such immunity undermines the constitutional protections Americans trust the Congress to protect. Senator Obama supports a filibuster [blocking] of this bill, and strongly urges others to do the same."

This Obama two-step has the freakshows at the Daily Kos hopping mad.

F*** the Democrats!

F*** Reid, F*** Pelosi, F*** Hoyer, F***Rockefeller, and , yes, F*** Obama. F*** ‘em all!

CT yanqui's diary :: ::
After 2 years, the Dems have given Bush everything he wanted, from a trillion dollars for Iraq, to the destruction of the Constitution. Now Bush walks away. He gets away with murder, war crimes, and treason. Things will be worse under McCain? They won’t, because they already are. If this FISA vote goes through, I am closing my checkbook and resigning from the Democratic Party after 45 years. I had high hopes in 2006, and after Obama’s nomination, but it is now clear that the Democrats are congenital cowards. Nothing is going to change.

Nothing is going to change"? But but Obama...He's different...No...Not really...But he really had y'all going there for a while.

OBAMA GETS HOODWINKED AND BAMBOOZLED OVER BREAKFAST TAB

If Canadians can do this to him, just imagine what's going to happen when he sits down to talk with terrorists and dictators.

The Democratic presidential hopeful was trolling the Four Seasons Family Restaurant in Greenwood, Ind., early Tuesday morning looking to lock up some last-minute votes.

Diner Steve Czajkowski, a pastor at the Community Church in town, held out his breakfast bill. "Take this [and] we'll seal the deal," he quipped.

Obama quickly snatched Czajkowski's tab. "I've got your check," he declared.

Czajkowski tried to grab the bill back, explaining to Obama that he was only joking. But Obama insisted on paying and walked off with the $25 bill firmly in hand.

"I like his message. I like the way he's running his campaign," Czajkowski told reporters.

But Obama didn't get his vote. "I'm Canadian," he said.
