No, more of a gnat (I would have said wasp but I am of the Hebraic persuasion) 🙂
bxgrl,

pete, here’s another case;
By Matthew Vadum on 6.4.09 @ 7:12PM
Darnell Nash, a voter in Cuyahoga County, Ohio, has been indicted by a grand jury for, among other things, illegal voting.
Nash was registered to vote by ACORN.
Ryan Miday, spokesman for Cuyahoga County, Ohio Prosecutor Bill Mason, a Democrat, just spoke with me.
Miday said an “investigation is continuing into activities by ACORN. Darnell Nash is the first we’ve charged in this ongoing investigation.”
“ACORN workers approached him to fill out voter registration cards and he did so on nine different occasions using different names and addresses, then he actually registered and voted on Sept. 30 and voted with a different address and the address was an address here in the Cleveland area in a suburb called Shaker Heights.”
Miday said that the Shaker Heights address is important because the person who actually lives there alerted the authorities after multiple registration acknowledgement documents came in the mail. Nash’s vote was then flagged and Nash came to the attention of the board of elections. It held an administrative board hearing and summoned Nash to appear but he failed to show up for the hearing.

ACORN Workers Indicted For Alleged Voter Fraud
POSTED: 5:02 pm CST November 1, 2006
UPDATED: 10:25 pm CST November 1, 2006
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Four people have been indicted on charges of voter fraud in Kansas City, officials said Wednesday.
Investigators said questionable registration forms for new voters were collected by the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, a group that works to improve minority and low-income communities.
The four indicted — Kwaim A. Stenson, Dale D. Franklin, Stephanie L. Davis and Brian Gardner — were employed by ACORN as registration recruiters. They were each charged with two counts.
Federal indictments allege the four turned in false voter registration applications. Prosecutors said the indictments are part of a national investigation.
“ACORN has been exposed for widespread voter fraud throughout the United States.” – is what I refer to as right wing spin. There has been no ‘exposure’ of voter fraud…. sloppy and unethical submission of registrations by employees. But voting no. From what I read they hire a lot of people who are trying to make a few bucks who really need money and are driven more by that than some politcal or philosophical agenda (unlike the NYPost, etc). Wrongly these employees to make money or circumvent what they are supposed to be doing fill in signatures or get anyone to sign these voter registration cards. Sloppy management, oversight, whatever yes. But to spin it as people are going into voting booths illegitamately to swing election in bunk and conspiracy theory gone amok.
legion- finally you admit it! 🙂

I thought that was a given.

pete,
If it helps you sleep at night. we are all deranged, right-wing loons who have lost the ability to reason and formulate an opinion based on fact and experience.
…If however, you are interested in exposing fraud left and right. you will read the details objectively and realize that some organizations are actually prone to play the system and circumvent voter laws.
“resting your case” is really just another way of allowing your subconscious/ego to overrule your superego or thinking brain. It is a intellectually dishonest.
Pete;
I agree with you about 3rd parties. My problem with the WFP is that they are not a party at all. As I mentioned above, I believe it is just a shell organizationdesigned to funnel money are resources to candidates that are backed by the civil-service unions.
If we were talking about the Green Party, for instance, I would agree with you. Though I don’t agree with their philosophy, I consider them to be a legitimate 3rd party. Not so the WFP,as I hope that this lawsuit will bring out.
