Palestinian Ibrahim Abu Jayab, 24, is seen next to his computer, in his family house in Nusayrat refugee camp, central Gaza Strip, Tuesday, Oct. 28, 2008. A young Palestinian in a Gaza refugee camp is doing his part to get out the vote for Barack Obama. With a little help from the Internet, 24-year-old Ibrahim Abu Jayab is cold calling random American families from his parent's home imploring them to vote Obama.

What the HELL?!  :mad:

I also want to know exactly who is paying for the presumed VoIP being used. Someone is funding this.

Who?

And I want to know why the Bush DOJ is sitting on its ass watching irregularities unfold in campaign financing and voter registration?

No kidding.  The Republican Party is becoming increasingly incompetent.  If they continue at this rate, pretty soon they'll be no different than the Libertarian Party.

:P

I realize the Republicans are too busy making their martinis to worry about the theft of the country, but maybe they should be worrying about the questions that are going to be echoing forward, loudly, about this Election.  Grumblings among the masses.  There is the small issue of LEGITIMACY.   That could spell serious social trouble ahead.  Not only will Obama not have a mandate, he is going to look like a usurper.

De jure? Don't know, probably not. De facto, since no one does anything about it if it is illegal? Yes.

How long before we permit everyone on the planet to vote in our elections?  Are we not citizens of the world?

There has been a lot of foreign influence on this election--Mexican meddling is a prime example--but unfortunately neither Party seems willing to make an issue out of it, not with possible votes at stake.

Ann Coulter termed the GOP The Stupid Party for a reason . . . she also stated that while she didn't want them to become screaming lunatics like Howard Dean, she'd at least like to see them behave like men once in a while and fight for their platform.

And Bernie Goldberg wrote a book "Crazies to the left of me, wimps on the right" which alludes to the weakness of the GOP.

Trump won in 2016. Democrats haven't been so offended since Republicans came along and freed their slaves.

If there were a generic one-word expression for one "whose fear of the uncertainties of success moves him to surrender at the very moment of victory", it would be "Republican".

Because he left so many Clinton appointees in their jobs to run things while he focused solely on the WOT....and forgot about the "domestic" part of the "defending from enemies foreign and domestic" part of his oath....remember Tennent and Mineta?....

Personally, I don't think it is that Republicans don't care, it is that too many of them still care what the media thinks and they always get slapped down in the media when they go after stuff like this.  They aren't willing to stand for their principles (if any) despite bad press.
