As I’ve said, that “spread the wealth” comment wasn’t an off the wall mistake…. this is an embedded political philosophy.

Obama Staffers Admit Voter Fraud in Ohio

It’s only 13 out of thousands, but it’s a start!

BAM STAFFERS PULL THEIR BOGUS OHIO BALLOTS
By JEANE MACINSTOSH
New York Post
October 25, 2008

Thirteen campaign workers for Barack Obama yesterday yanked their voter registrations and ballots in Ohio after being warned by a prosecutor that temporary residents can’t vote in the battleground state.

A dozen staffers - including Obama Ohio spokeswoman Olivia Alair and James Cadogan, who recently joined Team Obama - signed a form letter asking the Franklin County elections board to pull their names from the rolls.
…
Also pulling his ballot yesterday was Hofstra University grad Jake Smith, an Obama volunteer who had voted in Knox County, Ohio.

On Thursday, O’Brien cut a deal with 13 out-of-staters, including four from New York, who tossed out their already-cast ballots and admitted they didn’t meet residency requirements.

Meanwhile, there still has been no resolution to the problem of 200,000 suspicious voter registrations in Ohio. President Bush ordered the Department of Justice to see if any violations of the Help America Vote Act have occurred after the Supreme Court overturned the order directing the Ohio Secretary of Secretary of State to comply with the law. The President acted shortly after receiving a request from House Minority Leader John Boehner (letter-PDF).

Illegal Use of Ohio State and Law Enforcement Computers to Dig Dirt on Joe the Plumber?

On Friday, Joe the Plumber told an online chat at the Washington Times that he was “scared for America” if Obama is elected.

Apparently he has good reason to be concerned:

3 searches of ‘Joe’s’ BMV files probed
State investigating whether checks after presidential debate were lawful
By Randy Ludlow
THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH
October 25, 2008

State and local officials are investigating whether state and law-enforcement computer systems were used illegally to obtain personal information about “Joe the Plumber.”
…
Public records requested by The Dispatch disclose that information on Wurzelbacher’s driver’s license or his sport-utility vehicle was pulled from the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles database three times shortly after the debate.

Information on Wurzelbacher was accessed through accounts assigned to the office of Ohio Attorney General Nancy H. Rogers, the Cuyahoga County Child Support Enforcement Agency and the Toledo Police Department.

It has not been determined who checked on Wurzelbacher, or why. Direct access to driver’s license and vehicle registration information from BMV computers is restricted to legitimate law-enforcement and government business.

Paul Lindsay, Ohio spokesman for the McCain campaign, called the inquiries politically motivated. “It’s outrageous to see how quickly Barack Obama’s allies would abuse government power in an attempt to smear a private citizen who dared to ask a legitimate question,” he said.

It’s no wonder Joe is scared for America. We should all be worried. While some Democrats support civil liberties for terrorists detained at Guantanamo, they are busy undermining those same rights of their fellow citizens.

Hand these thugs the keys to the federal government and our rights are all at risk.

Obama Thug Machine Punishes TV Station for Asking Tough Questions

This is what happens to ANYONE who dares to ask critical questions in the Obama Thugocracy!

I’ve often wondered why more “news” reporters don’t ask the tough questions about who and what Obama really is. Obama’s entire life has been spent in the company of Marxists with radical, anti-American views. What does he really believe?

One reporter finally asked:

“There’s nothing wrong with tough questions, but reporters have the very important job of sharing the truth with the public — not misleading the American people with false information.
…
Senator Biden’s wife is not running for elected office, and there are many other stations in the Orlando television market that would gladly conduct a respectful and factual interview with her.”
…
“This cancellation is non-negotiable, and further opportunities for your station to interview with this campaign are unlikely, at best for the duration of the remaining days until the election,” wrote Laura K. McGinnis, Central Florida communications director for the Obama campaign.
