CNN

Imagine this- you're a 19 year old kid. You get a temp job signing people up to vote. Now, most of us would do the right thing, we'd earn our money. We'd really sign up voters, we'd stand on street corners or go door. But I bet you all know somebody from back when you were 19 or 20 who'd go to the nearest park bench, spend 15 minutes filling out bogus names, and then go hang out all day doing nothing. That's what the Acorn thing is. Slackers took advantage of a situation. It's unfortunate that it was on such an important issue, but slackers and cheaters find a way, and they tend to not care about the implications.

Now, back in 2004, right here in Portland, Oregon, there was an investigation into voter fraud that benefited the republicans. It was a much more malicious situation, where "volunteers" were tossing all of the newly registered democratic voters' info... basically, people though they were registered to vote, then turned up on election day only to realize they were not. Pretty nasty stuff, that. The 2004 thing was an intentional effort to undermine the voting process, as opposed to this Acorn thing, that looks like some folks just decided to slack and pick up a check.

What they're doing is laying the groundwork to contest any state that's got a narrow margin of victory that goes to Obama.

Even the more intelligent conservatives are distancing themselves from the intolerant hate mongers that now make up the majority for the Republican party.

Aren't these people ashamed of this stupidity? Anyone who continually harps on non-issues like ACORN or Bill Ayers has lost any respect for their intellect from me.

Good LAWD!! I have never seen a person so wrong on the facts and when give the truth still preach lies. The queen of unethics, how can you demand anything of anyone. DEMAND THEM FROM ACORN!!

This is getting old-why not talk about something the voters actually care about? Caribou Barbie is the biggest hypocrite and has no right to bring up anyone else's "questionable" activities unless she is ready to be open about her own, like troopergate and how her house got built.

Every once in a while I start to feel a little sorry for John McCain, for whom I had tremendous respect before this campaign (i.e. before he embraced a neo-conservative foreign policy agenda; hired people like Steve Schmidt to do to Obama what he had so dishonorably done to McCain back in 2000; retreated on his previous principles on immigration, cow-towing to the very people he once called "agents of intolerance" and even on his anti-torture stance; etc.).

Then I hear more excerpts from Sarah Palin's speeches and I lose all sympathy for McCain. I will enjoy watching him not only lose the election, but a good deal of his integrity and respect along the way.

First of all Acorn is required by law to turn in all completed voter registration forms to the election board "EVEN THE FRAUDULENT ONES" so your argument is tanked on that. Second, every facet of this years election has given them money in some form or the other. THE DNC, RNC, Obama's campaign, McCain's campaign AND the federal government so your argument is lost there. Third and most important ACORN is a not for profit organization who hires people within the various communities and pays them X amount of dollars for every completed registration forms. Some people are lazy and don't want to do the actual leg work so they sit out and fraudulently fill out hundreds of forms just to get paid. THE ORGANIZATION ITSELF DID NOT-I REPEAT-DID NOT COMMIT FRAUD.

Now that that's settled

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

/sigh

Aren't we done with this crap yet? Move along. Nothing to see here.

Ms. Palin, why are you talking about ACORN when you should be talking about how your running mate is going to turn the financial crises around?

Sen. Obama is not responsible for ACORN employess who commit fraud against ACORN by signing up false registrations. Why are you wasting the American publics time with this nonsense? In case you haven't noticed this why you and McCain are behind in the polls.

Americans are not stupid and we know the difference between voter fraud and voter registration fraud. ACORN could hire me with good intentions and I could go out and sign up bogus people just to get paid. Lady please get back to the issues

YEAH!!! you tell them Palin that WE all have to be HONEST and OPEN . Everyone has to say the TRUTH!!

You go first .... tell us about troopergate. ;op

It's beyond me how the Republican party and its stooges can even bring up voter fraud, which by the way this isn't.

John McCain supports ACORN and was at a support meeting there in 2006.

Lou Dobbs is a Republican just hiding behind the name Independent.

VOTE – OBAMA

The McCain/Palin camp has continued to spread fear and lies even when debunked and nothing will stop them. That is all they have left because they certainly cannot run on policy!

I think it's hilarious that Palin who would not cooperate with the Troopergate investigation which was entirely about her...thinks the Obama campaign should cooperate with the ACORN investigation when there is no connection between the two.

Sarah, hypocrit, Palin. speaks at the rallies of the Alaska Independent Party. Leader of the party, John Nutcase Folger, "I won't be buried under their d__n Flag." Sounds like a true patriot, Joseph Gobbels would be proud of you. You know you need to keep your own doorsteps clean, before you start cleaning somebody else's. The Aryans here in good ole ' North Idaho will surely vote for you. Seig Heil Sarah.

Strong Hillary supporter October 17th, 2008 2:40 pm ET
Sarah you are rock! I just adore you.

Yeah, more like a rock head or better yet, block head!

Palin is "fuzzyin' up" her interpretation of the unanimous investigation report that she abused her power as the governor of Alaska. We deserve to know when she is going to get impeached.

CNN you are just repeating all McCain/Palin talking points without any serious debunking.

You quote Palin's accusation that ACORN committed "voter fraud" and forget to clarify that ACORN was only involved in "voter registration".

Furthermore in all your reports on ACORN you always omitted to mention the most basic fact: under most state laws, voter registration organizations such as ACORN are REQUIRED to turn in all the forms they receive. Even those they know that may be problematic!!!

I am confuss ......... 'voter fraud' is when a person already voted? OR is it when someone goes to vote?

I don't know how it is on other parts but in TEXAS , when one goes to vote ... we have to show our voting id or Driver license where we have to sign on a paper out name and address.

SO if someone who say is name ' Mickey Mouse ' goes to the poll to vote ...... ahhhhh don't people check for his license or voting id????

Like I said I am confuss ...........

Sarah:

Who cares about ACORN? Nobody, that's who!

What do we care about? We care about having jobs in this country and not losing them to China or India. We care about being able to go to the doctor without going bankrupt. We care about fixing the economy so that some of us will still have money in our retirement accounts when the time comes.

Why don't you talk about the things that matter? Because they don't matter to you, that's why!

No Sarah no! No Sarah no! No sarah no!

Be sure to take into account that smart people (even in your own party)are laughing AT you, not with you.
Go home to your free of charge house on the lake. Leave the lower 48 alone.

Sarah, hypocrit, Palin. speaks at the rallies of the Alaska Indepdent Party. Leader of the party, John Nutcase Folger, "I won't be buried under their d__n Flag." Sounds like a true patriot, Joseph Gobbels would be proud of you. You know you need to keep your own doorsteps clean, before you start cleaning somebody else's. The Aryans here in good ole ' North Idaho will surely vote for you. Seig Heil Sarah.

The nerve of this hypocrite who was under investigation and found to have abused her power. You and John McCain aren't giving any straight talk, but DOUBLE TALK. You Madam are not a credible person so for you to demand anything from anybody is a JOKE! Go home where you are now not wanted.

Shawn – GA. We dont need an October surprise. We're in the lead.

Thats great coming from a person that is stonewalling an investigation that said she was guilty of an ethics violation. I call for her to disclose all her work emails sent on her personal email. That is against the law and we have a right to know what she was hiding.

Alaskan grown liberal

For someone with investigations up the wisu palin sure is throwing around accusation's about OBama's character what about her &todd's Friends.

If anyone should understand fraud it should be Sarah Palin. Please, why not come back here and explain it to all of us Alaskans? Tell us about why you let Walt Monegan go, a respected public servant for over 30 years. Gee, when I was a Supervisor for the Division of Juvenile Justice here in Alaska, I should have made sure my husband was emailed about all my cases and my concernes. I should have brought him into my office too! Only, gee, I would have been fired! Palin, you have absolutely no credibiltiy and no right to accuse anyone of anything. Face your own music.

Joe the Teacher,
How can you not respect Palin, and respect McCain? McCain made an extremely poor judgement when he asked Palin to be his running mate. She was never thoroughly investigated by the McCain campaign. Is this the type of decision making we want in the White House? You must be misinformed. Keating Five, does that ring a bell? McCain allowed Verizon and AT&T to install communications towers on his Arizona property at no charge to him, freebies. Is this the kind of judgement we want in the White House? Inciting violence and racism at his rallies, is this the kind of judgement we want in the White House? Obama is not an "Arab", but "Arab" is not the opposite of decent, or it that what McCain wants us to believe. What does "That one" mean? Does he want us to think of Obama's skin color first, as if skin color makes one untrustworthy? The republican campaign has been a national shame, and it is a sad day in America when a candidate allows those at his rallies to threaten the life of his opponent. Not only once, but three times Obama's life has been threatened at McCain rallies. McCain is an old fool and anyone who cannot see this is foolish.

HAHAHAHAHA
what a Joke McCain says Obama attacking Joe and digging into his personal life ...give us abreak... You and Palin doing the same with Obama.
It was Not Obama who Brought Joe into the public light it was You Mr McCain what if we find that Joe "PAL'S AROUND WITH TERRORIST" as well.
You McCain Tried and Failed to use Joe to Attack Obama,
Not Only dose Joe owe moneies to the State but his thinking and Logic is Crazy and Mad as Joe stated on ABC he thinks that NOBODY should pay Taxes above the 250K rate. so if Bill Gates must be loving him only pay taxes on only for 250K rate.
As for Palin less said the better.

WATCH AND READ WHAT JOE SAID ON ABC !!!!!
since CNN NOT have the Balls to show it

Yep some people take Palin's words at face value. You don't believe it, well today's data backs up this fact. McCain has gained 2 points.

While I detest thes tactics, it's time for agression must be met with agression. The American people have a right to know the full story regarding Kieding 5, McCain's ties to that ultra right wing group linked to Iran contra, Palin's seperatest palls, & trooper gate among other things.

Obama's got to fight fire with fire because these two will do anything to win. If he doesn't he deserves what happens to him.

Susie,

Same can be said about the 2000 election that President Nit Wit won with the help of the U.S. Supreme Court. How about the voter fraud in Ohio in 2004 that gave it to President Nit Wit?

Enough with this Acorn nonsense. Obama has explained it. The Head of Acorn has explained it. It is clear that there was/is no attempt to create voter fraud, just the wrong-headed behavior of a very few paid individuals who did not do what they were supposed to do--register real voters. No one has voted inappropriately and the McCain/Palin claim that it has any effect on the election is bogus and yet another ridiculous tactic that borders on out and out lies. Shame on them. And shame on any voter who believes this garbage and cannot look at a variety of sources, investigate for themselves and come to a realistic conclusion.

ACORN had to be revealed so there wont be another 2004. So ACORN cant help McCain cheat on the election. Obama is no fool. So CNN need to get the story right! Give me a break!!!

Looks to me that ACORN is being defrauded by some of their temporary workers. Also, they are not the only organization that register voters and yet they are the only ones with this problem. I have to wonder if they were targeted because they have had a project funded by Barack Obama. Thousands of registrations–many of them in the same handwriting–I wonder if perhaps this was a set up. In fact, I'm sure it must be. Having registered people to vote myself for another organization, I can tell you that finding living, breathing, Democrats has not been a problem even though I live in a red state. Keep digging at this–the answer is going to be ugly and not for Barack Obama.

This lady has NO Credibility and is embarrasing all of the people in ALASKA. 19 more days and she is history, better go back on the Hot Mom circuit. Her once high approval rating for govenor is now at an all time low.

Who care what she says and the Congressmen was right, she did use George Wallace type remarks to be devisive. The Republican base are a bunch of evil minded people.

this again....oh please!!!!!

"Man, swing voters aren't buying the Ayers connection as relevant to Obama's bid for the White House. Let's try the ACORN thing. Surely we can spin this as 'Obama corruption' even though it boils down to some bad, lazy ACORN employees submitting bogus registrations that would *never* actually lead to voter fraud because of the verification processes in place. It's worth a shot, anyway; we have nothing to lose but the rest of our dignity, and we lost most of that in the past couple months already!"

When you can no longer win on the actual issues.....

"Yawn"

Palin is right! We the people deserve to know. Nobody can deny that Obama is shady. It's one thing after another. But Obama will sweep it under the rug like everything else.

Everyone is so sick of hearing from Palin. I see her on the television and immediately turn it off because she is stupid and the sound of her voice makes my skin crawl. The Republicans are trying to come up with something – anything (acorn, etc) to fix this election just like they did with the Bush/Gore Election. They can't win it honestly based on good plans and solid judgment – so they just get out the shovel and start digging up dirt. I hope the American people are smart enough to recognize the McCain/Palin short comings.

I am from WV and I early voted for OBAMA (It made me proud)

Clearly the McCain Pallin camp is struggling and all they have left is to sling dirt. I wonder how well both of them would hold up to any kind of detailed investigation. In spite of America's repulsion to this type of dirty – mud slinging campaigning, McCain and Pallin seem unable to listen to the feedback supplied by our media representatives accross the country. Please listen to America's media and reporters and STOP IT.

ACORN has been reported as having issues with voter registrations accuracy for years. That being said, who would benefit from this becoming a scandal? Not Obama or Biden. Wouldn't be surprised if this is a McCain support issue instead of Obama.

Then again, McCain's camp can't talk about the issues, so they have to do speeches based on rumor and innuendo, not the facts. The really sad part about all this is, Gov. Palin comes off as being dizzy, which she's not and Sen McCain comes off as willing to throw in the kitchen sink to win.

McCain/Palin don't want us to vote for them because they have realistic plans for the future of this country; they want us to vote against the other guy. All they have to offer are personal attacks, lies, and a campaign of fear and smear. I'm not falling for it. I'm voting FOR the future of this country. I'm voting FOR the candidates who have realistic plans to solve our problems. I'm voting FOR Obama/Biden.

This woman disgusts me. She is a pathological liar, and obviously believes in EVERY and ANY INSTANCE where she's concerned "the ends justifies the means". And if she's being manipulated by the Republicans to take the fall when McCain loses, then it's just another example of her not being smart enough to handle being in politics.

I deserve better, Republican Party, do you hear me? Better than Palin, and better than what you've given me the past 8 years! You let me down, and you've lost my vote.

McCain too involved with ACORN. Did he plant some of his supporters in ACORN to do false registration of voters?

The important issue is those FALSE voters cannot vote in any election because NO ID cards are available for them. Actually ACORN lost money on this issue and no body else!

Sarah Pallin and McCain involved in big frauds which costed tax payers in billions. Keating 5 or Troopergate is an example.

Voter fraud and voter registration fraud are two separate issues.....Acorn brought the issue of voter registration fraud forward themselves, it wasn't like they were found out and had to own up to a wrong doing. Anyone can fill out a registration form incorrectly and send it in......however, voter fraud will occur when the wrong people turn up to vote in other people's names.....no proof that that has happened has been given yet. Even the Rep. Gov. from FL admits that voter fraud is immensely overstated.

Forget ACORN, tell us about your witch-doctor.

Hey Sarah C U Next Tuesday!

Hello there folks

Please google.......media matters....... and check out the article about how CNN made some 54 misleading statements about VOTER REGISTRATION IN OHIO. Apparently they accomplished this by leaving out relevant information on this subject!!!!

Needless to say, Lou Dobbs name kept coming up over and over!

Just check it out!

Re: trooper-gate, did you read the article on Huff Post about the
ruling on this issue?

The ruling found that even though Sarah Palin was within her rights to fire the employee, she DID ABUSE HER POWER BY TRYING TO
GET HER EX-BROTHER-IN-LAW FIRED!

Why not am I surprised up till now Palin still can’t distinguish “voter fraud” and “registration fraud?” How will Obarma benefit anything from these bogus registrations? For a VP candidate to fire an accusation as such, she must be brain-dead or purposely muddy up matters. Either way, she is dangerously unqualified.

Sarah, Sarah, Sarah...You truly should practice what you speak! You are about one of the most crooked politicians out there...troopergate, etc. etc. etc.

Shut up...go bake some cookies and send them over to your next door neighbors the Russians...Maybe they will listen to you speak when you talk..."I see your lips moving...yet I hear nothing"

You'll be hibernbating in your igloo when Obama is sworn in!

Keep it up Sarah...the more you spew...the more votes turn to Obama!

If the GOP has any sense at all left they will ship you back to your frozen artic home and be done with you as soon as this election is lost by your ticket!

HATE SPEECH NO PLACE IN AMERICA!

NPR states there are no ties between ACORN and obama campaign.
NPR also states that Bill Ayers is not a close friend of Obama.

SHut up Drew Griffin, you are an idiot! You are trying your best to smear Obama, you are exactly like this Palin lady.

I really dislike palin,..

“You deserve to know, Palin said. “You deserve to know because we do need to know more clearly about the choices that we have on Nov. 4."

Amen, Sarah. Now how about a REAL press conference with REAL journalists and REAL follow-ups?

The US Supreme Court protecting Ohio right to vote will keep Palin from gaining Ohio illegally. The Republicans don't give a hoot about McCain-it's all about Palin. I don't want her as anything.

CNN, all your reports about ACORN have simply repeated the McCain campaign talking points without any serious analysis of the facts.

ACORN flags and turns in three kinds of cards, those that it can verify, those that are incomplete, and those that it flags as problematic. It turns those in labeled in a special way and are very conservative in terms of what it flags as problematic.

So, why would ACORN submit registration forms it had deemed "suspicious"? Because under most state laws, for obvious reasons, voter registration organizations are REQUIRED to turn in all the forms they receive. Even those they know that may be problematic!

So this whole ACORN story mounted by the McCain campaign is simply a distraction. It's outrageous that your reports about ACORN have simply repeated McCain's talking points, without clarifying such basic facts!

Maybe the McCain campain leaders should let their bosses know there has been no voter fraud by the ACORN voter registration group. As far as anyone knows there has not been one ballot cast by this group. As for registration there are names and until someone tries to use that name there is no fraud. But you CNN has the responsibility to report this fact and make the candidates respond to stating facts and not be the first with a headline. Palin is out there throwing charges around and you are not telling the people the truth about the charges.

Voting is such a core exercise of political freedom that careful scrutiny of ACORN's actions is essential, but it is equally important to avoid the distorted and incendiary claims of voter fraud that Sarah Palin makes.

Why isn't the media digging into Palin's connections to the Alaska Independence Party?

If Palin wants know about ACORN then why she don't ask them herself.

Sarah Palin: When you point one finger at Obama, please note that four fingers are pointing at yourself. Please redirect those questions at yourself. You are beating a dead horse. Momentum in not your and McCain's favor.

If America give this moron the "NUCULAIR" codes then god help us.

Obama and Biden believe in thei policies...heart and soul. McCain sounds like he`s making it up as he goes along .....and Palen.....well she is just faking it !!!! VOTE EARLY VOTE OBAMA 2008

The way to ged rid of her is simple...real simple...

Vote for 'THAT ONE'....as early as possible and in huge numbers !!!

I love the Obama people, yes he will probably win but guess what- the only change you will get is CHANGE that is your bank account balance. ENJOY!!!

ACORN is guilty of WHAT? Nothing yet. They may have just been actually following voter registration laws.

Besides, ACORN has counseled the poorer folks to keep them from being victimized by predatory loans.

So, Sarah, ya' got receipts for the building of your house?

Wait a minute? isn't Palin under investigation, still ? YES.

why do they continue to nbeat a dead horse? argh.....

on a side note...joe the plumber....that business he wants to buy only does about $100,000.00 annually.......

why is that when ever anythin happens even remotly related to Democrates these idiots blame Obama. Is there anyone holding thier feet to the fire regarding the behavior of thier supports.

Sarah you are rock! I just adore you.

I know Obama wants to do the right thing and not go too negative. I know people are sick of negativity. But the fact is that these attacks work on those fools that still can't make up their minds. So whiel I think Oama should not go on the defensive he should definitely go on the offensive with all the ethics investigations in the republican ticket and abuse of power scandal. o it through your surrogates. Go tough or lose like Kerry did with the swiftboat lies.
Obama/Biden 08

Why can't they just stick to the issues and say how they can do better for the country than Obama? Why do they attack based on something that is not important to the persuadable voter? I have not heard Obama accuse her of being unethical and abusing her power as a Governor... and that is true! Can't people see through that?

Come on media lets look into the Alaska separatist group that Palin's husband was a member of. How un-American is that?

Get out and vote people, don't let the Republicans steal this election by fudging votes, make it a clear cut victory.

Sarah Palin is talking about truthfulness ? Sarah Palin?

STAB BABY, STAB BABY.......Sarah Palin, CEO of the McCain Hate Express...what goes around will eventually come around......your turn is near.

Gee, she's really scary. Who do you think will win Florida, with all those chads and early voter ballots? ACORN doesn't have a chance there...

I think the American people deserve to know who SARAH PALIN is...as long as she keeps avoiding the media, I will avoid checking the box next to her (and McCain's) name on Nov. 4. What are you hiding, Sarah?

No, Obama has not fully and truthfully exlained his connections with ACORN, Ayers, Rezko, Trinity Church Teaching, Rev. Wright and even Larry Sinclair. Guess it don't matter to him and his supporters who are leaning toward socialist's ideals. Also why are web sites posting his father's bio and his cousin's political vendetta in Kenya being banished. Here today, gone tomorrow.
I think it is sad that he is now dissing Joe the Plumber who simply asked him a question but does not trust his tax program.

Please, Sarah, go back to Alaska and leave the rest of us alone. Please, enough already.

AIP, trooper gate and she is still talkin

Can she spell ACORN give it up Mrs. Palin and stop the dumb stuff.

Who is Sarah Palin palling around with?

The Alaska Independence Party.

People who want to tear this country apart. That's domestic terrorism.

After all, Palin knows all about shady relationships, abuse of power, and fraud.

Susie: The last supreme court justices, including the chief justice, are conservative Bush picks. So let me ask you, who in the supreme court is fixing the election? How is letting new voters vote before election day a terrible offense to begin with? I am willing to wager there were votes cast for both major political parties, and likely some 3rd party votes as well.

This woman really is an idiot. Somebody needs to sit McCain and Palin down and explain to them the difference between registration fraud and voter fraud, neither of which has anything to do with Obama's campaign. This type of rhetoric is only believed by the simplest of minds.

It may be CNN didn't get the memo yet, Supreme Court backed the State Board of Elections in Ohio and not the other way around. Please check your sources of information. Instead of dispatching you team of reporters on a fact finding mission you stand to endorse McCain's message.

Let's see her go on Situation Room , Larry King, or Meet the Press then she will have room to talk. I'd like to hear her explanation about how she got her house built for free and what does she think of the Ted Stevens trial.

Sarah, take your nitwit, feather-brained self back to Alaska and stay there!

Is anyone else concerned that McCain and Palin don't seem to have the capacity to listen? I mean, McCain calls Obama out to explain Bill Ayres, then when Obama does so, McCain just continues on with his attacks like he never heard a thing?

It's the same with the lies about fining small businesses for not providing health care (Obama told McCain to his face at the debate that small businesses are EXEMPT) yet McCain repeated it on the stump today. Also it is a proven fact that only about 1% of small businesses would face increased tax under the Obama plan.

My question is this: Who is McCain talking to when he makes these claims? Obviously it is only the few rich people who would actually have to pay more taxes. Yet many ignorant people like this Joe the Plumber buy into his BS. Joe the plumber isn't even a plumber but even if he was, he would still be better off under Obama's plan.

It seems that Gov Palin is getting less and less media coverage, as less and less people seem to care what she has to say. She is becoming more and more irrelevant each day.

I find it funny how desperately republicans grabbed that last straw.
People, why it is so difficult to grasp that simple fact that whatever ACCORN did has nothing to do with voting. NOTHING AT ALL. They were registering voters. If I so chose I can "register" Homer Simpson. Whenever he shoes up, however he has to demonstrate that he is in fact a resident of that locality and produce some sort of valid ID.

As for Palin... let's look at her "performance" in Alaska first....

@susie

Now you know how GORE AND KERRY SUPPORTERS FELT..........SORRY BUT OBAMA DOES'NT NEED TO CHEAT OR LIE HIS WAY INTO THE WHITE HOUSE LIKE BUSH DID...........HE'S GOT THE VOTES BELIEVE THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!

OBAMA 08

we need to know if you were really vetted for this position. we really need to know what's going on with troopergate.. Really! But please keep up the negative adds so you can go back to Alaska, the 48 continuous state have had enough of you and your folksy comments!

Palin's husband would have difficulty getting a security clearance because of his ties with the AIP and who knows, Palin herself could be affected. What a scenario, a VP who couldn't sit in with the National Security Council. It will be so good to have her go back to Alaska, pay her back taxes, and account for her misdeeds as governor. Please Sarah, do not come back.

I'm voting on Tuesday!!! Barak all the way!! Dems...show your disgust by storming the polls with early voting. Vote early, and call all of your friends and remind them to vote, and vote early. They're counting on us all showing up on Nov 4th, where they can stall us, frustrate us, and demotivate us.

Don't wait. Get it over with!!! Let's get this (Democratic) Party started!!!

Why is Sarah Palin so stubborn and inattentive. The negative crap does not work. It is pissing people off. That are the robot calls you people have just launched.

Keep your talking point to your program and if have none, shut-up and go back to Alaska.

susie – why bother voting? Good stay home. But all the Obama supporters are going to the polls and it will be a landslide against your man and this joke he calls his running mate.

I don't know what her beef is ....

Can't she understand that this is all normal. Chicago politics at it's finest. Not since the days of prohibition and Al Capone has such wantoness in voter registration been displayed. The democrats are so feverent about their pop-star hero that they are making sure all of their votes count even if a few thousand of them have to vote three, four or even a dozen times to do so.

So back off Sarah Palin or the Democrats will try to smear you some more as a distraction from their ever so normal activities.

NEWSFLASH!!! THE FBI DOSENT INVESTIGATE ANYTHING UNLESS THEY HAVE CAUSE TO DO SO. THEY WOULDNT WASTE THEIR PRECIOUS RESORCES ON SOMETHING MINOR. OBAMA STILL TO THIS DAY HASNT ANSWERED ALL THE QUESTIONS I HAVE. THE OTHER NIGHT IN THE DEBATE, MCCAIN ASKED HIM ABOUT WHY HE BACKED OUT OF CAMPAIGN FINANCE? ASKED HIM WHY HE LIED TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. HE CHANGED THE SUBJECT AND DID NOT ANSWER THE QUESTION. UNFORTUNATLY NO ONE FORCED HIM TO DO IT. I SAY THE AMERICAN PEOPLE NEED TO FORCE HIM TO ANSWER SOME QUESTIONS. WHERE ARE HIS RECORDS? BIRTH RECORDS ETC. WHY WOULD YOU HIDE STUFF LIKE THAT UNLESS THERES A PROBLEM WITH THEM. HE NEEDS TO BE FORTHCOMMING BEFORE ALL THE KOOLAIDE DRINKERS VOTE HIM. SERIOUSLY I AM READIG ALOT OF DISTURBING THINGS THAT HAVENT BEEN ANSWERED.

Come on now, let's be fair. 'What have you do for me?' Really? All that free comedy from Dumb and Dumber and you're still not happy?

If Your Are Not FOR something .... you will FALL for ANYTHING October 17th, 2008 2:23 pm ET

What Do YOU stand for …. Mr. McCain … Mrs. Palin … that's the question.

Your arrogance in raising topics that you think you can demand that Obama address TURNS US OFF.

Just because you and John McCain manufacture a daily diversion question doesn't mean we care to hear it.

You guys are slinging fecal matter with the hopes that it will sully Senator Obama. That's a waste of the American People's time right now.

What have you done for me lately? That's the question.

Sarah Palin, am surprised you still talking. How about answering some real question as to why you abuse your power, can't be reach by the media and the worst of all do you really believe that you are qualified to be President on day one?.......if your answers are yes then why are so afraid to speak to the media?
CNN should post my comment.

Oh Sarah, you are so pathetic. You and John? The rest of the country is calling on you to come clean. You have to be the phoniest person I have ever seen.
I tell you what, I'll set at my polling place all day on the 4th, and the first guy I see wearing red shorts with big black ears, I'll check his ID. If it dosen't say Mickey Mouse I'll run him out. How bout that, you betcha.

Ummmm Right!!!!! And this is coming from someone who didn't want anyone to cooperate with her abuse of power investigation. I love how Obama and Biden have never been under investigation, but both Palin and McLame have been under investigations.

Blah, blah, blah. slander, slander, blah, blah. This is all we hear from the McCain camp. What about Joe the Plumber or Joe six Pack or Hockey Moms, you dropped them like a bad habit. A Merry Go Round has a better chance to get the American people to change direction than McCain/Palin

It is RIDICULOUS that she is even allowed to speak on anything, anywhere ever again.

The worst judgment call in McCain's political career was to think that this ANARCHIST of a woman would prove to be representative of our nation's electorate.

ACORN is not an Obama problem; however, Palin is certainly a problem for McCain.

this is how OBAMA will win. steal the election like he did for the senate seat.

CHEATERS

H. REID, N. PELOSI AND B. OBAMA WILL DESTORY THIS COUNTRY MORE.

LIKE C. DODD AND B. FRANK HAD SCREWED UP THE ECONMOY

Sara do some factchecking before you let the Repugs put you on front street. Sara your slip is hanging.

OBAMA is fixing this election and bringing Chicago Politics... SAY NO...we can't let the Chicago Mafia run the White House. Vote McCain in 2008 and Hillary in 2012 WAKE UP AMERICA we have been dooped by a community organizer and smooth talker.

It seems to me that this boils down to people getting paid to register voters. These people, not Obama, in order to get paid made up names in order to make money – they were WRONG. They should have never done it. Let's be honest though, people who have very little or next to nothing will sometimes do things they shouldn't to survive. Why don't we as citizens look at the canidates for President and decide whose policies will simulate the economy and help improve the situation so that people (as long as they are willing to work) can improve their lives.
This "fraudulent" registration forms were never going to help Obama win the Presidency! "Jimmy John's" was never going to show up and vote!!!
Was it wrong – YES
Was it Obama's doing – NO
VOTE November 4th!!!!! We will no longer stand for the status quo.

Obama 08' & 12'

Keep Fighting McCain/Palin – for our country.

Obama = WELFARE
McCain = JOBS

VOTE for our country – VOTE McCAIN/Palin – we can TRUST them

1) There has been no voter fraud.
2) Obama has NO relationship with ACORN or any of its affiliates in the general election.
3) It's Republicans who have historically done everything in their power to disenfranchise low income and minority voters.
4) This coming from someone who has been charged with abusing power and breaking state ethics laws.

You have to take the words of Deer Hunter Barbie with a grain of salt and feel a bit sorry for her. She still doesn't think she did anything unethical in troopergate and that the Alaskan Report cleared her. Also it appears her advisors haven't seen the 2003 McCain video at a formal dinner where he praises ACORN.

If she's such a good choice how come she stil can't explain McCain's economic plan. I guess that when you are kind of dumb you have to resort to attacking others instead of discussing the facts.

I don't care about ACORN, I care about the economy and my life savings and how the problems there are going to be fixed.

It surprises me that the readers of this article are not concerned about voter fraud. Many places do not require ID, even though they should. If this situation was reversed you would be hollaring. It amazes me that the Obama supporters are so blind to Obama's lack of judgement. The media has fooled you. Why CNN wants to have Obama win is beyond me.

Sen Mccain and Palin are always busy talking nonsence.
let`s talk about real issues and how to move this country forward .the Republican nkow they can`t win on issues.reason why they spend their time whining about nonsence
it is going to be a Landsilide for Sen Obama

For all the geniuses angry about fraudulent voter registration forms...guess what... if Mickey Mouse register to vote...I highly doubt that he will show up to cast a vote on election day....SO GET OVER IT.

Has Palin offered one solution to help ease our economic crisis? Does she have any idea how people are suffering? Has she a clue how to help people stay in their homes? Is she interested in giving an answer on how families will be able to get loans to send their children to college? Did she see how the stock market did yesterday? That's right, she can't watch t.v. My God!!! Is this what the republicans want to hear, Acorn, Ayers blah, blah, blah. I guess the people interested in this B.S. are the 9% of the country who think the country is on the right track. I personally, am turned off by her with her double standards. When she answers questions about the Alaskan Independence Party and her abuse of power findings, maybe she will earn a fraction of respect. Now that I think about it, she won't earn any respect. She is allowing herself to be used and I think that is disgusting.

Mrs:Palin is a such a joke....She should explain why she has abused the power first....She wants to divide the society ....I am so tired of her and her speeches.....

I like the do as I say not as I do mentality...we deserve to know about Obama's ties to ACORN but not her dealings in Troopergate? What a hypocrisy! Not at all the kind of behavior I want in a VP that would, if something bad where to happen, become president. Haven't we had enough of that crap over the last 8 years?

The other night as I was watching the debate, when independents were asked after the debate about 30 of them, how many changed their mind on who they are voting, about 4 raised their hands and said they are voting for Obama. Of course everybody said that was bad news for McCain.
It has always been a trend for majority of conservative supporters to be moderate and "not loud" about their support or who they are voting for. I know for a fact that if I was asked I would not tell who am I voting for, even though I am supporting McCain, so are pretty much everybody I know.
Yesterday at my job this lady conducted kind of inside polls just for fun, asking people who they were voting. Majority of them asked did not want to answer, they considered it private mater. I know for a fact from private conversations they are voting for McCain/Palin ticket.

If I were Obamas campaign or supporter I would worry more about those 26 independents who did not say who they are voting for.

You just might get a suprise this November

No one, however, is allowed to ask her "tough questions". We need to know why you say you did nothing wrong in Alaska, when the report says you "abused power". Just like you asked, Sarah, I read the report. And that's what it says. I do not care if you want to split hairs about "well I did not abuse it in this one instance" while ignoring the other part of the story. All's fair.

Her appearance on SNL is going to backfire, as well. It will just make her look like a bigger idiot. "I look forward to imitating her, and giving her more material". She doesn't need it. No one's going to be able to tell if it's you or her on stage, anyway.

Nothing more than meaningless babble which has absolutely nothing to do with the future of America or the election. Unlike the potential for the militant Alaska Independence Party to rise up against the Union.

This woman is unfit for leadership and already guilty of ethics violations in the office she holds.

Can somebody on her staff tell Palin the difference between voter fraud, as she keeps saying, compared to voter registration fraud, which is the issue with ACORN?

This woman is the single most dangerous threat to the U.S. The most dangerous combination is when a person who is uninformed, ignorant, vicious, and comfortable lying is combined with ruthless and unabashed ambition. This woman cares nothing about the democratic process......

How come there videos of McCain speaking at an ACORN meeting/dinner just a couple of years ago? Is he going to explain that too? Or is this a non issue because there really isnt much going on here at all and McCain needs something to attack on? I believe the latter but its deperate and shows how little McCain has to talk about REAL issues.

What about Sarah's affiliation with the secessionist AIP and McCain's ties to Gordon Liddy?

Please America , change your election till the spring so we can watch this comedy thru the winter. We love the ex-Canadian on CNN showing on the map that Obama already has won . How about that Joe Biden and his 3 letter word "JOBS." and voting advice from Madonna , PRICELESS .

This igonarant fool has got to go.

sadly, your most comprehensive speech is an accusation of an individuals ethical choices, when you too, sweetie, have had a series of ethical violations.

you and mccain are definately not on the same page when it comes to campaigning. desperate times call for desperate measures i guess.

any time your campaign tries to accuse obama/biden of poor judgement, i can't help but think of the personal and career decisions mccain as made (keating, VFW, affair X2)

i watched a great documentary of President Lincoln on the H (history) Channel. To preserve the union, Lincoln did a great job!

To preserve the union of the 50 states, it's time for all states to use the same types of voting processes.

It's time to stop allegations of fraud. I'm glad, that, to preserve the union, Al Gore and Kerry did not make a big deal out of fraud.

God bless America! McCain and Palin are both good people, but it's time to ride a DONKEY through the RUGGED and treacherous mountains.

Shoot, even the supreme court has fallen under the influence of THE ONE.

OPEN LETTER TO ALL REGISTERED REPUBLICANS

Regardless of the political and/or moral reasons that decide your vote.

Regardless of what you think of the main stream media: Anderson Cooper, Larry King, Bill O'Reilly, George Stephanopoulos, Bob Schieffer, Tom Brokaw, etc.

In this day and age all Presidential and VP candidates should be open to ANY question from the non-extremist media (sure, leave Olbermann aside).

You should DEMAND that Gov. Sarah Palin be NO EXCEPTION.

You are not doing it for yourself and you are not doing it for your Party. You are demanding it for YOUR COUNTRY.

That will be turned in once sara and her husband turn up communication with secessionist group in Alaska that wants to break away from US. When Mcain turns in communication with Gordon Liddy, When Sarah and husband turn in emails regarding troopergate. when Cindy turns in information on Verizon cell tower. etc etc.

Palin will set this country back 50 years if she becomes the VP!!

Women's rights will be lost. Civil rights will be lost!!

Racial division will increase!!

SHE IS NOT FOR ALL AMERICANS!!!

A VOTE for McCain is a VOTE of Confidence in PALIN!!!

"trooper gate is over" – sorry no October surprise you were praying for

The e-mails are a non issue, she may have used a personal account and that was no doubt silly. However the people on the other end were not using personal accounts. So the e-mails still were going to a .gov address and therefore logged just aas if she was also using one.

Giving $800k to a group that is under investigation for voter problems is far diffrent than either of these issues as it effects the highest office directly.

Go Get ' Em Sarah. We cannot stand for Voter Fraud...No way, No How, NOBAMA. Vote McCain in 2008 and Hillary in 2012.

Go home and get ready to go hunting for your "Thanksgiving Moose"

OK Barbara because Palin trying to get a Trooper fired who drank on the job and tazered a 10 year old is equal to Obama paying $800,000 to an organization that has blood on their hands from the mortgage crisis as well as voter fraud in this election....LOL

Keep drinking that liberal kookl-aid

Mr Mcain and Mrs Palin have nothing important to say????
they only go to places to be negative,can Mrs Palin say something important to the american peoples???
please Mrs Palin come with some important information GOOD information for America And the American peoples and the world PLEASE.

I might also add that your running mate McCain, during the debate would not even say you were qualified to be the President if something would happen to him. The only credit he could come up with, for you, was being a Mother to a special needs baby. Hardly a recommendation to become the President of the USA.

I just saw a new Gallup poll out of only legally registered voters. It shows McCain ahead of Obama, 55% to 45%. Obama jumps ahead with 49% to McCain's 47% if illegally registered Acorn stooges are included

Could somebody please explain the diference between voter fraud and registration fraud to Mrs. Pain. I guess this explain why she have soo little knowledge of what really going on in our America.

Deflect the issue Democrats!

Get off topic of this story and attack Palin!

FORGET ABOUT VOTER FRAUD PERPETUATED BY OBAMA!!!!

Palin is the real problem. Yeah, right.

You pathetic, petulant losers are going to ruin this great country.

It's still not working. Keep yapping about it if you want though, no big deal.

THIS WOMAN STARTS TO SCARE ME........

I agree that the democrats should provide that information. Then and only then will we know any truths. And I also believe that Sarah Palin should provide the information on her extra e-mail account that she kept on her old campaign site. I get sick of all the hypocrital talk from her. You want and call for transparency, yet you continue to hide behind the GOP. Give me a break! McCain has my respect, Palin gets none!

Is she the same lady who fired the trooper who refused to fire her ex brother in law?
If you go that low, then you shouldn't talk about other people

Wow, she is the biggest hypocryte I have ever seen in my life!!

Okay, little miss perfect...why don't you turn over all of you and your husbands communications related to Troopergate and your connections to the Alaska Independant Party???

Or maybe talk to the press (FOX does not count).

Sarah Palin is the biggest joke in the history of American politics and on November 4th that will be all she is remembered as. Bye bye Barbie!

Not only did ACORN register Democratics but ALSO Republicians. So you really think someone will be saying he's Mickey Mouse and showing ID to the fact and actually VOTEING as Mickey Mouse ????

Some people are So stupid it's no wonder the Republicans are hated so much.

Palin should be glad she's not in jail yet over Troopergate.

Yes, please the election is fixed. don't bother. all republicans stay home. please stay home. you have figured the democrats out.

is that all you've got?
Old news, just like Sarah Palin.
If you want to talk about bad judgement, how about the bad judgement McCain showed picking you?
McCain said today for the MSM to leave "Joe the plumber" alone.... WEll, wasn't he the one who pointed him out?
One more case of John McCain's erratic behavior and blaming others for his mistakes.
Obama 08

and Sarah, while you're at it, cough up all those private mails that were used for government business in Alaska – another news organization has reported that Alaska wanted $15 million dollars for copies of them – how about some transparency from you, Gov. Palin?

Nobody cares, except the small minded bigots carrying around monkeys with Obama stickers on the, the radical extremists kicking reporters and yelling "kill him" at Palin rallies.

Again, nobody cares. Except the fringe that McCain is so very proud of.

Until McCain and Palin get this through their dense heads they will continue to do poorly.

Acorn voter registration has nothing to do with the Supreme Court ruling with Ohio.. It was the Republician's trying to stop new voters from being able to vote...

Sarah why don't you talk to the press .. how can we vote for you if we don't know your wonderful ideas?????

It is amazing how employees of Acorn are already convicted in the national media and no doubt by Ms. Palin, while the criminals responsible for the wall street melt-down are not.
The American media is quick to label minorities with adjectives that convict while not using the same labels for white collar thugs in suits. Amazing. By the way, anyone can register to vote as no proof of identity is required. It is the responsibility of the county commissioners office to validate & authenticate registration forms. As a reminder, the Florida election was stolen due to institutionalized white collar fraud but no one went to jail on that one, did they? Certain demographics of our population will do whatever necessary to achieve their agenda, and this demographic is NOT a minority demographic so let's keep it real, ok? And please, quit hidding behind your Christian values to further causes because true Christians do not operate under Ceasar's law but God's law. Actions and words are telling as to who the real Christians are.

Sara let see your e-mail, troopergate, what about an IQ test. Sara you got nerves to request something out someone that is really out of you and McCain league, espeacially your.

Face it Sara, you are not a smart lady to be VP.

There is no connection, and you darn well know it. Stop trying to mislead and distract America. Obama has answered these charges several times, and the McCain campaign needs to stop lying to the American people to get them to fear Obama. That, "my friends", is disgustingly dirty politics and they should be ashamed of themselves. Anyone who votes for them approves of their tactics and just goes to show how low we have sunk.

Of course, the McCain campaign is uncapable of telling the truth...so maybe I expect too much from a campaign that will put out Joe the plumber who is not Joe and is not a plumber. Someone with possible relations to someone McCain would rather forget, and has strong GOP values. As if it wouldn't be enough that most of America seems to think that "Joe's" comments were repugnant...they seem to line up with the GOP party line.

I PERSONALLY THINK PALIN NEED TO TALK ABOUT HOW THE MCCAIN CAMPAIGN PAID JOE THE PLUMMER TO APROACH OBOMA SO THAT THEY COULD USE HIM TO DISCREDIT OBOMAS TAX PLAN

I cannot believe how low McCain and Palin are stooping. I actually admired him until he chose Palin which smacked of desperation, Last night, a friend told me if people fall for it, they deserve what they get. I would say the same thing but I live hear and I already said that about Bush and had to endure him.

There is only one word that accurately describes the McCain/Palin campaign today – DESPERATE.

Hopefully the American people have wised up to these tactics and will make the choice that will not only benefit America, but also the world.

Obama/Biden '08.

Hey Susie, as opposed to the 2000 Florida election the Republicans stole!

Hello Governor Palin. Read the facts and you will know that ACORN did not committ fraud. They simply sorted between the correct, questionable and fraudulent cards that they received. Do you really expect Mickey Mouse to try and show up to vote on Nov 4th? Really?

With all due respect to the Governor, she perhaps is not the best placed person to question another's judgment and truthfulness.

Maybe Obama can make those documents connecting him to ACORN available for $15 million... sound familiar, Sarah? Let's make a deal. You give up the e-mails at a $15 million discount from your original offer, and we'll show you ACORN.

Hiding behind a fee and yelling that the other person needs to give up their information for free is just the sign of a hypocrite.

Smoke and mirrors – McPain's only tactic is to lie and cheat their way to the Presidency. That's so NOT presidential.

I hate it when she says we deserve to know, or we should ask these questions. We should q

How about the missing W2s for Todd on your tax return? Or the $88,000 that hasn't been reported to the IRS but has been declared?? Care to comment on those you little weasel.

Susie, I completely agree. Every republican should protest by not voting!!! Lets show’em how it’s done!

I wonder if Palin will bring up the fact that just 2 years ago McCain was the keynote speaker for ACORN, praising them for their good work.. saying that groups like this are what make America great...

I wonder if Obama will put out a commercial showing McCain's speech delivered at an ACORN meeting.

I wonder if Palin will ever subject herself again to an interview where they ask follow up question to make sure that she understands the subjects...

On the lighter side of the news... according to Factcheck, Joe the Plumber just admitted that he personally would actually be much better of under Obama's tax plan than McCain's. I find that hilarious.

BTW, what ACORN is doing might be Voter Registration fraud. But most of these registrations will not be accepted and will not lead to Voter fraud.

What does this have to do with the economy?

CNN should stop giving this idiot a megaphone until she learns to talk about the things that Americans CARE about. This is not a personality contest, and it's not a talent contest either. I think caribou barbie is confused, but then again, she doesn't know how to think very well in the first place.

If you're still an undecided, google PNAC and read a couple of articles. That will help you make up your mind.

Palin has no idea what she is talking about and when you have nothing to speak about the issues of what the hell is going on in our lives, then you can only run on a smear campaign.

Palin must remember this is voter registration and it was ACORN who brought it to light. Palin just won't stop with the negativity but CNN need to give the Governors abuse of power the same attention as they give on the ACORN issue. We the American people don't care about ACORN, I care that I'm losing 401K and whatever else I have left in the stock market.

Let's call out the true issue here....voter suppression. This is something the Republican party is an expert at. ACORN, nor the Democratic party are committing anything fraudulent or illegal here.

This call for investigation and running out the FBI is BS. It is like saying 'the sky is falling' or like crying 'wolf'. There is nothing there. It is simply a misguided attempt at misdirection.

Much ado about nothing in relation to voter registration issues. This stuff is typical in all registration or petition drives. There is no crisis or fraud here.

Typical Republican BS.

No one cares about ACORN Sarah. Everything Obama does is somehow secret to you. "He needs to fully explain this!" "He needs to fully explain that!"

How about you admit that you abused your power as Gov. of Alaska huh?

Maybe ACORN is guilty of voter "registration" fraud...but it won't matter since those names that were faked won't be showing up to the polls.

And to Susie...I was very disappointed when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that George W. Bush would be our President without having all the votes counted in Florida, so I guess this makes up for that little error in judgement huh?

Is she for real? Surely, she jests. Why doesn't she ask her running mate to explain his speech in 2006 at an ACORN conference? I'd like to hear about that.

Palin asking for transparency? What a joke! This woman is corrupt and literally brain dead.

Palin did not cooperate with the investigation on her. Hypocrite.

This story about Joe the Plumber is utter nonsense. First off, Sen.McCain is the one who dragged his name on TV, during the debates. Now Sen.McCain is claiming he is offended by all the media scrutiny and is blaming Sen.Obama campaign. Yes, Sen.Obama spoke with the so-called plumber. But he did not make him a national celebrity. That was Sen.McCain. As usual, Sen.McCain's campaign is refusing to take responsiblity for their actions and blaming others.

Sarah why don't you talk to the press .. how can we vote for you if we don't know your wonderful ideas?????

somebody please send sarah back to alaska

The only acorn that Sarah Palin knows about is the one in her head.

Palin likes to talk about ACORN because it's a NUT like her.

Sarah, shut up or be prepared to provide all the documents surrounding troopergate and all the other illegal activity that surrounds you and the first dude.

Really Sarah, Obama represented ACORN AND the Department of Justice in a case 10 years ago. The accusations of voter fraud are a dead horse, keep beating it.

and when will Palin release all the emails she did on personal accounts in order to keep them from the public? And answer detailed questions about her husband's lengthy affiliation with the Alaska Independence Party?

The news this morning says that the US Govt. has to pay Alaska $15 million to get copies of the yahoo and official state emails of Gov. Palin. And even at that, they won't be available until after Nov. 4.

Abuse of power – proven. Hiding information from US – $15 million after Nov. 4.

We don't need that woman anywhere near an influential government position for our country.

John McCain calls Obama's ads questioning McCain's POLICIES "negative".

Palin says it's not negative campaigning to try and tie someone to voter fraud.

Hey, Palin, when's John McCain going to release HIS communications with ACORN? Dontcha know he was a headline speaker at one of their events in 2006.

Say it ain't so, Mrs. Abuse of Power!

They don't know how else to beat him so they continue to lie and smear his reputation. What happened to Mc Cain's words that he stands up for Obama when things are said that are wrong. He and Palin have run such a negative campaign. Palin should not be so quick to point a finger as she did not get off scott free from her trail in Alaska as she was not prosecuted but admonished for using her office and allowing her husband to do so also. More charges are coming but Obama has been a gentleman and never says anything negative about her. Is her husband going to help her lead as he did in Alaska and be involved in all the aspects of the V.P. office? Inquiring minds want to know.

What Do YOU stand for .... Mr. McCain ... Mrs. Palin ... that's the question.

Your arrogance in raising topics that you think you can demand that Obama address TURNS US OFF.

Just because you and John McCain manufacture a daily diversion question doesn't mean we care to hear it.

You guys are slinging fecal matter with the hopes that it will sully Senator Obama. That's a waste of the American People's time right now.

What have you done for me lately? That's the question.

Not that she knows anything about judgement and honesty. Guilty of Abusing her powers as Governor and still is being investigated on two more charges of Abusing her powers in other dealings.

Sara maybe you should have watched the last debate, Obama answered the question about Acorn. Leave the nasty smears and hatred for Obama out of this.

Give the people something to chose between, beside ignorance.

What about AIP Sarah?
What about the Troopergate ethics violation Sarah – just because you say you didn't violate ethics law, does not mean it is so...read the report, Sarah!
What about your bridge to nowhere Sarah? Were you being honest from the beginning?

Turning Florida blue!

Yeah "fairness to the electorate" – what about troopergate and that wacko Alaskan separatist party your hubby belonged to?

Obama has explained on his connections with ACORN. has John McCain explain his connection with ACORN

Hey, what are the Anti-American parts of the country if North Carolina is pro-American?

This Palin person has an evil ideology. I do not like saying it, but step back and think about what she is saying.

Obama-Biden for effective leadership!

You all had your fun and it was funny to watch you posting your hateful and arrogant posts day after day here, thinking that Obama had a chance.

Now it is time for us adults to weigh in and stop being the silent majority and just be the majority. You see there is a large diffrence between arrogant and confident. Confidence allows you to sit back and watch and wait. Mr. McCain was correct we have you just where we want you. 18 days and you are now going to be blindsided by the rush of all of us into this race.

We all know now that Joe the Plummer is actually a Republicans plant aka "Joe the Republican". This stunt raises questions about ACORN. What a convenient connection between ACORN and Senator Obama since he was a community organizer. It would be so easy for the Republicans to plant workers within ACORN to manufacture the fraudulent forms. This would create the appearance of a criminal activity and Obama connection. It is strange that we have not seen any actual ACORN field worker involvement. The workers who actually turned this fraudulent forms in. That could be easily tracked. The attempt is to put ACORN the organization on trial. So much could be accomplish by the Republicans from this new stunt; disenfranchise thousands of legal voters, tarnish the image of Senator Obama, and steal some key battleground states, win the election. If this ACORN mess is not resolve within the next 2 weeks, than this theory becomes something more. We all know what happen to our democracy in FL 8 years ago. Those facts are now clear. Most of our recent calamities have been man-made. These are the stunts that causes our calamities. If this is true, don't blame the Republican. We have no one to blame but ourselves. We got fooled once (2000 via FL) , than twice (2004 via OH) and now here we are in 2008 (via ACORN).

This Article should be titled. Republicans use ACORN to cover economic crises with clouds and fog. I am a disgusted Republican who cannot believe how low my Party has crawled under the McCain leadership. Anyone with the brain of a Gnat know that ACORN is a Government sponsored organization which has operated for Thirty Years! The Republicans have their Idiot Base ( he ..he.. he's an Arab) convinced that Obama founded ACORN in Saudi Arabia and sneaked them into the country. Good Lord ! Can we just vote now ?!

Just shut up Palin. I have had more than enough of you!!

Nothing but negative remarks again to day Failin? I wonder if Alaska will take you back after you loose this election because of your "mean-spirited" tatics???

Did Obama request ACORN to do these things? No and he didn't ask ACORN to anything else. There is a connection between Obama and ACORN. He did work with them, but it isn't that he is the head of the group and telling them to do illegal stuff.

Just because there is an investigation going on doesn't mean that there is something illegal there. It will take time to find out the facts of the case and if there was anything illegal done and if it was directed and by whom. Once that is determained, then it will be clear as to who made the mistakes.

Well, it's been about two months now and I still can't get past the word ignorant when speaking of her. Sarah Palin ignorant now/ignorant always.

Go Obama!

How disappointing the the U.S. Supreme Court ruled with Ohio. This election is so fixed, why bother voting.

Hey Sarah, cough up all your documents concerning troopergate first!
