There's an article today about 7 convicted felons who were recruited by ACORN in Detroit. Yeah, guess who they'll be voting for. I hope everyone has seen this video, but it's important to keep it going:

Deals with ACORN Housing, the meltdown, Dems, Obama...it's got it all. Wish the 527s would just chop it up and use all of it. And it's all facts!

Take your race baiting bigotry elsewhere.

Serious question, should homeless people be allowed to vote? Why should the person quoted above not be allowed to vote?

mypov, excuse me.... but you're a racist bastard.

The idiocy of people like the person who posted this information is the reason why George Bush was elected not once, but TWICE!

Yewp, it sure does.

"Serious question, should homeless people be allowed to vote? Why should the person quoted above not be allowed to vote?"

Doesn't the description "homeless" cue a brain ell somewhere?

How about "legal residency," does that get your brain cells all a twitter with activity that allows you to answer your own question?

Snark aside, if the person in question can in fact provide proof of residency in the state, yes he should be allowed. But what are the chances of that being the case?

It's always such a pleasure to read the incisive comments of Obama supporters like mypov. Surely this is the change we have been waiting for - the sensitivity on racial issues that will draw us all together. And 95% of African-Americans are voting for this?

This is really the perfect storm the democrats have going for them right now.

They are running against McCain, who doesn't understand what a hostile media is and so never prepared for it.

The MSM has talked down the economy giving us Americans every reason to change the man at the top of the ticket.

Republicans and Independents don't really want to make waves when it comes to voter fraud even though its the Democrats who keep getting convicted/caught.

The fact is, Obama will win and the mistakes he makes while in office will be covered up by the MSM or just "not noticed".

No worries though, I think we'll survive an Obama administration.

"No worries though, I think we'll survive an Obama administration.

I agree if it comes to that, and after 4 years he'll be out on his ass with no cushy Senatorial job to fall back on.... and a serious run for his replacement will come from Jindal and Palin.

You have to laugh at mindless natterings of the brain challenged like mypov.

Anyway, nice point Lorie. Historically, the Democrats have relied on paid workers, while the Republicans have made do with volunteers.

For one thing, paid workers have proven to be less reliable than those who are motivated to volunteer.

"Snark aside, if the person in question can in fact provide proof of residency in the state, yes he should be allowed. But what are the chances of that being the case?"

I'm not saying there is an easy answer. From the quote it does not seem like we have the information to determine whether he is eligable or not. I suppose he could be a homeless guy from a neighboring state or something; he might not be.

So far I have not seen much discussion about institutional safeguards against fradulent votes. What are the safeguards and how effective are they? If somebody could get more information about that out then we would know whether or not shady stuff is getting properly investigated.

ORyan, there is no longer an uncorrupted vote. The dems want everyone to vote regardless of eligibility or residency. Where have you been the last two election cycles.

A homeless guy, may be a felon, no registration check except for him saying who he says he is. The dem's way.

Maybe the republicans can gather up the homeless also and take them to the polling places and give them cigarettes or money, but we can't. We have integrity. We have honor. We care about the country. ww

"From the quote it does not seem like we have the information to determine whether he is eligable or not. I suppose he could be a homeless guy from a neighboring state or something; he might not be."

Very possible, fact is it's well known homeless follow the sun, as the cold sets in the number of homeless swell in the southern tier states and the far west.

It doesn't apply in this guys case but he could just as easily be from Mi, Ind or Ill rather Ohio.

Wildwillie,

With respect, I must disagree with:

"The dems want everyone to vote regardless of eligibility or residency."

Ohio (the same place these homeless guys are voting early) is the same place where they are trying to throw out thousands of republican requests for absentee ballots.

I think you may have meant to say was:

"The dems want everyone IN THE WORLD EXCEPT CONSERVATIVES to vote. "

You right wingers have lost all concept of American values. You put out this hit piece on Obama because (Gasp!!) he is registering American citizens to vote. What a croc. You think that because you dont have a home or you served your time that you cant vote? Give it up racists. There is nothing in your hit piece even remotely wrong that Obama has done.

And also, on the truth squads. You think you can lie about a reputable man like Obama and the law wont come crashing down on you like a ton of bricks. Damn right it will.

You should be wary of that on this blog. I have noted alot of libelous statements about obama raising taxes or being a muslim. This is the first place we will come when we bring the hammer down on you.

The comment that Palin will be running for president in 4 years to get rid of Obama is the funnies thing I have read all day. Even funnier than Tina Fey on SNL.

Do you really believe that Palin has any future? She is going to be impeached in Alaska over troopergate and disgraced. The thought that she would be anyones vote for president in 4 years is beyond looney. It goes to show how bad the bench has become on the right. Even I know what the Bush doctrine is.

billy - "You think that because you dont have a home or you served your time that you cant vote? Give it up racists. There is nothing in your hit piece even remotely wrong that Obama has done."

Ummm, in some states (>a href="http://www.secstate.wa.gov/elections/faq.aspx">WA is one Last I checked only 12 states allow you to vote after being released for a felony conviction) convicted felons CAN'T vote and will only be able to regain the right via a pardon or executive order of the governor.

You you really THAT stupid?

billy - "And also, on the truth squads. You think you can lie about a reputable man like Obama and the law wont come crashing down on you like a ton of bricks. Damn right it will."

Which lie is that? Be more specific so we can swat that S aside as quick as your lack of knowledge of voting rights.

billy - "The comment that Palin will be running for president in 4 years to get rid of Obama is the funnies thing I have read all day. Even funnier than Tina Fey on SNL."

First of all nitwit you seem to have some type of eyesight related handicap, the assertion was made about a potential Jindal, Palin ticket, not a Palin, Jindal ticket.

Got it now?

Secondly, your knowledge base on the so-called troopergate "scandal" is non-existent, or your just a liar, to believe she will be impeached over that BS.

Run along now billy-boy, your Messiah is calling.

Sorry, the Washington State link should be this.

BTW billy-boy (and I DO MEAN boy) it's also illegal to hold any type of election campaign or "get out the vote" events in tax exempt locations like churches and mosques.

So, why are the messiah's followers doing it?

Psst ... hey MyPOV, governor Bush was never elected President. He was appointed by SCOTUS in 2000, and there is evidence that he won because over 100,000 votes in democratic precincts in Ohio were never counted.

Hey Oryan - maybe you'd prefer only white men that own land be allowed to vote.

SDM - "and there is evidence that he won because over 100,000 votes in democratic precincts in Ohio were never counted."

And so...

Gore had 50,999,897 votes to Bush's 50,456,002 without your mythical Ohio votes.

And it's the ELECTORAL votes that count - despite all the recounts in Florida, there wasn't a ONE that showed Bush losing to Gore.

Even WITH all the ballots they were able to 'slip in' under the radar for Gore...

Best thing in 2000 would have been to just completely redo the ENTIRE state. Just to make sure the people's voice was heard, right?

You should be wary of that on this blog.

I've been waiting for brown shirts to show up threatening Wizbangs 1st amendment rights of free speech.
What exactly do you plan on doing, hunting down
each and every poster on Wizbang that you don't like, and persecute them?
It's appreciated that you've pre-emptively
outed yourself, forewarned is forearmed.
