   Who said anything about buying the vote? In the democratic precincts the vote is never purchased with money. It’s done with IOUs (Illegal Operatives Union).

   The consumer rights league has its eye on ACORN as well

   This could be the biggest issue facing the GOP in November.

   The campaign plans to spread the money in all 50 states but will emphasize their efforts in swing states such as Colorado, New Mexico, Nevada and Florida, Temo Figueroa, the Latino vote director for the Obama campaign, said at a news conference.

   What you know… liberals can be taught!

   20 million over 50 states is only 400k per state if spread evenly at that…not discounting the threat, but in today’s politics, how many votes can that register?

   Acorn pays $8 dollars and hour for their voter registers. But they have been know to stiff them for pay before.

   And thats just the Obama campaign. Soros is poring even more money into this as well as Federal tax dollars that go to groups like ACORN.

   How do Latino voters feel about democrats limiting the supply of domestic energy in the face of growing energy demand, thereby allowing the cost of living to rise?

    *sigh* If McCain would get on the right side of the immigration issue (no pun intended), he’d probably get a lot more of that “Latino vote,” despite ACORN and La Raza. I know a lot of immigrants out there are pissed that some of their fellows are sneaking in illegally and being rewarded for it.

    Is this legal, to set aside campaign funds for the mobilization of a specific voting bloc?

    You know, I used my credit card today and the lady asked to see my I.D. (to make sure it matched the card). It was a simple purchase and a simple act of pulling out my I.D.

    For something so minor, you would think that it would apply to something major like casting a vote in an election.

    Obama:
    • He voted YES on continuing federal funds for declared “sanctuary cities”. (Mar 2008)
    • He voted YES on comprehensive immigration reform. (Jun 2007)
    • He voted NO on declaring English as the official language of the US government. (Jun 2007)
    • He voted YES on establishing a Guest Worker program. (first a guest, then comes the demand for citizenship.) (May 2006)
    • He voted YES on allowing illegal aliens to participate in Social Security. (May 2006)
    • He voted YES on giving Guest Workers a path to citizenship. (May 2006)

    Take a look at his “immigration reform” plan (Its a pdf) entitled:
    “Barack Obama: Fighting for the Latino Community.”

    Sorry, cut myself off:

    - Voted YES on allowing illegal aliens to participate in Social Security.
    - Obama was for an amendment that added to chain migration and cut the guts of one good part of the bill, moving away from chain migration.
    - border security? Voted to filibuster the border fence
    - Obama was even for rewarding illegal gang members and criminals with amnesty … no conditions.
    - Obama co-sponsored for comprehensive immigration reform
    * Voted on Senate floor in favor of amendment to expand chain migration in 2007 (SA 1183 to S.1348)
    * Voted on Senate floor against an amendment to bar certain criminals from U.S. in 2007( SA 1184 to S.1385). Certain criminals included absconders, alien security risks, sex offenders, gang members, and other domestic violence offenders
    * Voted in favor of the DREAM ACT in 2007 which reward illegal aliens with amnesty
    * Co-sponsored the AgJobs Bill 2007 (S.340). Bill would create an amnesty for illegal agricultural workers.
    “Work with Mexico: Obama believes we need to do more to promote economic development in Mexico to decrease illegal immigration.”

    Q: Do you support driver’s licenses for illegal immigrants?
    A: Yes.

    When you think about it, it’s the perfect Democratic operation. Not only do they get to “redistribute” wealth to the most “deserving” people, many of whom, I’m sure, will be illegal. But they also get to buy the votes needed to get their candidate elected POTUS. From there it’ll be a veritable ’steal and give’ routine, taxing the “rich” to give to the “poor.” Full-blown Socialism, here we come…

    The campaign said the $20 million will be spent on registering and mobilizing voters, advertisements and online organizing.

    Registering illegal aliens, no doubt. They have been doing this for years in Northern Virginia, thus swinging important elections. George Allen, for example, only lost by 10,000 votes.

    It is so easy to register an illegal. If they have an address, they can get a driver’s license because social security numbers are not required. If they have a license, then they register to vote.

    This is a very serious issue because foreigners are not supposed to be deciding elections.

    A great campaign commercial would be showing how Barack Hussein Obama is trying to register illegal aliens in order to steal the upcoming election and showing his voting record that Bill Grant lists above.

    For each dollar BO spends to register “voters,” he should be required to give at least another dollar to the state / local agency that has to verify eligibility.

    Release the two wrongly convicted Latino Border agents. It’s a lot cheaper than 20 Million, & it’s the right thing to do.

    Or Maybe that’s why they have stayed in jail? Maybe the Latino voters are willing to sacrifice a couple of their own, in order to protect the dregs of their society, & look pseudo-humanitarian with the DemoRat party .. ~Dan Lee

    Maybe because you’ve been caught at it so many times. However, the only one I recall seriously trying to litigate the election results was a Democrat.

    Maybe this will answer your question:

    ACORN works pretty cheap, and a lot can be done by unpaid volunteers. And BTW, ACORN also get public funding, ostensibly for their “mortgage counseling” services. Wanna bet that those people getting “mortgage counseling” also get voter registration cards?

    My question is: “How many of those getting mortgage counseling have actually gotten mortgages from Countrywide and BofA? Both well known to give quick mortgages to illegals….just asking….

    When people who are eligible to vote and don’t vote or don’t know how to register to vote, and you have to spend $20 million to get them registered, the only answer is F-R-A-U-D. It is time for the entire nation to require voter I.D. on every election. Screw the racist retorts and just get in done in order to have a fair election. Too bad the Socialist Democrats don’t want anything to be fair. They may not win.

    There might be a little bit of hope here. They’re gonna spread the money inn only 50 of the states. Little chance that the other seven can save us, but we can always hope.
