More on Fraudulent Registrations from the Washington Times

Anti-Bush registration drive stirs fraud concern

A coalition of liberal groups committed to defeating President Bush has spent more than $100 million orchestrating the largest voter-registration drive in U.S. history, raising concerns of widespread voter fraud in 14 battleground states. At the same time, Democratic Party officials are gearing up to challenge unfavorable Election Day results in a number of states through "pre-emptive strikes," charging that Republicans prevented minorities from voting even before any such incidents are confirmed. Working under the banner "America Votes," the 32-member coalition — led by the anti-Bush America Coming Together (ACT), the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) and MoveOn.org — has played a key role in what election officials have called a massive increase in registered voters nationwide.

#5 OS, There are a number of events in the last few years after which nothing was the same: (1) Watergate where the press pulled down a sitting president, (2) the rejection of Robert Bork for "political" reasons, (3) the politicizations of all executive branch agencies, especially FBI and CIA, during the Clinton Administration, (4)the filibustering of judicial appointments, etc

The partisanship in the press is a continuation of past performance. It is not surprising to me that the LLL would cheat in registrations and at the ballot box. I see the attitude in the LLL of defeat the right at all costs. All costs means all costs.

#4 OS,

Do not minimize the stakes for the wacko wing of the Democrat Party. If they loose this election, they could be frozen out of power for a long time.Â Control of the final branch of government, the Supreme Court, could pass from its shakey 5 vote liberal majority to a solid strict constructionist majority that would last at least a decade. After 2008 there will be another redistricting that will move more legislative districts and electoral votes into Red states. The politicians who cut their teeth on Viet Nam are coming to the end of their careers. They do not want them to end in the minority without a new generation of sychophants to pick up the torch. It has slowly been going on for 20 years. Even Clinton only co-existed with it, loosing control of the House when he tried to implement socialized medicine; he did nothing to roll it back. So now they are looking into the dark abyss and yes, they will do anything for power.

And there is not a peep coming from the Kerry camp nor the Democratic Party about these actions by the lunatic fringe.

You're assuming it's coming from the lunatic fringe.

#1 DO democrats/liberals hate Bush so much that they are willing to abuse its laws to destroy the foundations of our Republic?

They are attacking the very basis for Democracy in the nation: the faith of the voters in the election system. And they are doing so cynically and fraudulently.

Its "any means neccesary", just like Joe Stalin, Pol Pot - any means to achieve their ends. Immoral. Evil. Despicable that Americans would destroy the nation in order to achieve power. This is the same evil that Nixon was vilified for.

And there is not a peep coming from the Kerry camp nor the Democratic Party about these actions by the lunatic fringe.

Where is our free press to point this out?

What the hell happened to the Democratic party?
