OHIO ACORN HIRED "GET OUT THE VOTE" WORKERS TO CANVAS FOR OBAMA

The audacity...The corrupt ACORN organization is busted funneling votes directly for Barack Obama. From Gateway Pundit:

Two different Ohio blogs posted an email from ACORN on February 21, 2008 announcing that Ohio ACORN is doing a Get Out The Vote project with the OBAMA Campaign.

The email even admitted:

Ohio ACORN is hiring canvassers to go door to door encouraging voters to vote for Barak Obama.

This was back in February during the Democratic primary.

Ohio Daily Blog also posted the email:



Here is the email from Ohio ACORN:

GOTV for Obama! Ohio ACORN is doing a Get Out The Vote project with the OBAMA Campaign. Ohio ACORN is hiring canvassers to go door to door encouraging voters to vote for Barak Obama.

ACORN is hiring in Cleveland (216)431-3905 , Columbus (614)425-9491, Cincinnati (513)221-1737, for Dayton (call Cincinnati), and for Toledo call Cleveland. Or email polnatoh@acorn.org and your inquiry will be routed to the appropriate person in each of these cities. Intake and training will be held daily at local ACORN offices. Canvass begins on Wednesday Feb. 27th and will work through election day. Please, only persons wishing to work all or most of these days (Saturday and Sunday included) should inquire.

Please do not contact the Obama campaign directly regarding this post as they are not the organization doing the hiring and it will only distract their staff and volunteers from the other important work they are doing on behalf of Senator Obama.

3 OUT OF 4 VOTERS SUPPORT OFFSHORE DRILLING

The news isn't that 3 out of 4 support offshore drilling. It's that 1 out of 4 doesn't. Obama types. No doubt.

Three in four likely voters – 74 percent – support offshore drilling for oil in U.S. coastal waters and more than half (59 percent) also favor drilling for oil in the Alaska National Wildlife Refuge, a new Zogby International telephone poll shows.

A majority of likely voters across the political spectrum support offshore oil drilling, with vast majorities of Republicans (90 percent) and independents (75 percent) in favor of drilling for oil off U.S. coastal waters more than half of Democrats (58 percent) also said they favor offshore drilling. Republicans (80 percent) and political independents (57 percent) are much more likely to favor drilling for oil in ANWR than Democrats (40 percent).

JOHN KERRY NOW SAYS HE WANTS TO HELP VETERANS

John Kerry has spent 24 years in the US Senate without authoring a single piece of successful legislation concerning US veterans. Moreover, he has built his political career in large part by publicly, and unfairly attacking veterans as war criminals, rapists and murders. For example, in 1971, John Kerry gave the following Congressional testimony:

"I would like to talk, representing all those veterans, and say that several months ago in Detroit, we had an investigation at which over 150 honorably discharged and many very highly decorated veterans testified to war crimes committed in Southeast Asia, not isolated incidents but crimes committed on a day-to-day basis with the full awareness of officers at all levels of command….

They told the stories at times they had personally raped, cut off ears, cut off heads, taped wires from portable telephones to human genitals and turned up the power, cut off limbs, blown up bodies, randomly shot at civilians, razed villages in fashion reminiscent of Genghis Khan, shot cattle and dogs for fun, poisoned food stocks, and generally ravaged the countryside of South Vietnam in addition to the normal ravage of war, and the normal and very particular ravaging which is done by the applied bombing power of this country."

Herman Munster's Testimony

But, Senator Kerry is now using veterans to further his career in a new way. On his campaign site, Kerry asks us to "support our troops". Kerry says:

We must be mindful of what America has always asked of our servicemen and women. It takes a special individual to see your buddy get hit, and put yourself between him and incoming fire so that medics can tend to him. It takes a special person to work day by day in an environment where it is impossible to distinguish friend from foe.

And it takes a special kind of asshole to come back from combat and shit on the very people who served along aside you. But hey, starting in 2008, Kerry wants to help veterans. He wants us to to help those men and women that fought for us. Starting in 2008 he intends to do just that. Apparently, from Johnny's point of view, veterans who served before 2008 were murderers and rapists not deserving of our help. The only reason I can think of for this sudden change of tune is that there must be an influx of Hispanic veterans in Massachusetts and Johnny feels this is a good way to get their vote.

IRAQIS WANT McCAIN VICTORY

TIME reporter Bobby Ghosh wrote the following about his recent trip to Baghdad:

"For Sunnis, al-Sadr's continued clout is a warning and a provocation. In the district of Adhamiyah, a Sahwa fighter named Mahmoud (like his Mahdi Army counterpart, he gave only his first name) tells me there can be no reconciliation between the sects "as long as Muqtada is alive." Then he makes a grim prediction: "Right now, the Americans want us to fight against al-Qaeda, and that's fine. But we know the real fight will be in the future, with the Mahdi Army. We are getting ready for it." Fattah, in Sadr City, is preparing for the same fight. "The Americans protect the [Sahwa] for the moment, but we know who they are; we have lists," he says. "When the time comes, we will know what to do with them."

The Baghdadis caught between these extremes know that the only thing standing in the way of another sectarian conflagration is the U.S. military. This may explain why every Iraqi who offers me a view on American politics seems to be praying for a McCain victory. A 100-year American military presence, of which McCain once spoke, may seem a bit much; I suspect most Iraqis would be happy with five."

Iraqis back McCain

The McCain folks have not commented on any plans to conduct a "get out the vote" campaign in Baghdad.
