Well I've learned more about ACORN/voter registration than I really cared to know; and I don't understand how ACORN is getting blamed for turning over obviously fake voter registrations (i.e. Mickey Mouse) when BY LAW IT HAS TO. ACORN's sins, aside from representing poor non-Republican folk, seem to lay in paying people by the registration (rather than hourly/weekly/etc) and in hiring just about anyone. But it's not like ACORN has the power to actually register people...so if fake registrations actually make it through the system how in the hell is that not the responsibility of the official agency that processed the registrations?

Clearly, CLEARLY...this ACORN stuff is a classic Rove smoke-screen designed to either cover their election-stealing shenanigans (Ken Blackwell, Tim Griffin) or to minimize the public outcry by tossing in another fake equalizer...anther 'Clinton did it too.'

Any voter who was registered by ACORN should be required to re-register and put up a small bond.

ARK. BLOG: Don't you think we should require all voters to pay a poll tax, thus assuring only the truly committed and financially comfortable are able to vote?

In the past, requiring a voter to own real estate has allowed those who have most at stake to have the largest say, but now that ACORN has managed to put thousands of people in homes who don't belong in them, that's out the window.

Or, hey, allow the poll tax to be paid in food stamps.

ARk. BLOG: Right, how could I forget. A poll tax is not enough. We should only let real property owners vote. Should there be a minimum percentage of equity required in real property ownership before one is allowed to vote? Is an interest-only mortgage OK?

And just to make sure we rid our elections of the 'wrong kind of people' let's require a literacy test...IN ENGLISH ONLY. And, if the Republicans hurry up and bring back debtors' prisons, that would go a long way to getting the riff raff off the voter rolls. I'm surprised they didn't create them when they sold us to corporate American with that horrid bankruptcy legislation. (Yeah, I know the Constitution stands in the way but by now it's clear that the Constitution hasn't stopped Monkeyboy/Republicans from a damn thing--it is, after all, 'just a piece of paper.')

HEY! 'Extremists for McCain' why not appoint McCain President and stop the madness?
It worked out so well for 'YA' in 2000! BY-GOLLY! These are Extreme times 'Eh!

Surely you jest, Zelda. Debtor's prison? Now how would that help the banks keep the modern day sharecroppers paying their pittance every month for the groceries they bought last year on their credit cards? Use a little sense, woman! You'll have banks going belly-up.

Granted, I'm sometimes a bit slow, but I can't make up my mind about Extremists for McCain. Serious or seriously tongue in cheek?

Gotta wonder what the Martians are thinking if any of them are watching us. They'd be talking about how the TRUTH is dead in America in 2008. Rove has finally figured out that TRUTH is as out of style as buggies and buggy whips.

Just notice.....the only thing real about Sarah Palin are her tits and I'm just guessing about that. Almost as soon as we heard his name 24 times in a row, we started finding out that Joe the Plumber not only isn't a plumber, but turns out he's a wife-beating, tax cheat, who is 210 thousand dollars away from breaking Obama's 250,000 level for higher taxes on the rich.

The neo-cons had to know we'd find out in seconds....and we did! But they also know it won't matter if we expose a lie. No telling how many people heard Acorn is crooked and it stuck and will stick with them for the rest of their lives.

I saw the same research on Joe the Plumber done by MSNBC last night that a couple of our regulars did in an hour after the debate was over. We may be 48th, but not all of us are ignorant! Let's suppose Acorn is totally up to no good. Less than 1% of their new voters are in question. If all of them had snuck into the polling places on November 4th, it would have been a drop in the bucket, like one drop of urine heading for the Fort Baptist sewer treatment plant.

Acorn is a non-issue. Partial-birth abortion and fetuses surviving abortion are non-issues too because they're so rare as to be mythical. But Rove knows that don't matter cause the TRUTH doesn't matter any more.

Of Course Extreme is on target. As our own past friend of international bankers, Alexander Hamiliton, said

"Let the people who own the country run it."

I mean who do you renters think you are ! We allow you to be soldiers, pay you sign-up bonuses and somehow that entitles you and your pregnant wife to vote on how we run the nation!

I don't think so. Next thing you know you'll be nosing around in OUR banking system, FRS, thinking you have a right to determine OUR fiscal policies. We give you a working wage and allow some of you to move on up. If you're really cunning and well connected there are many slots for you later on.

If you're not cunning and well-connected then marry one who is.

While I'm wasting my valuable privileged time explaining things to you please watch more TV. It's not good for your brain to read and debate so much.

And finally NEVER think we would allow you a NO vote.
We go to great lengths to select two viable candidates who, in our eyes, are qualified to do OUR work.

But sometimes we get lazy and only run one candidate but NEVER think you will be
allowed to vote NO to our only candidate whether it be sheriff, collector or Senator.
Will not happen so don't even bring it up.
