The GOP Dirty Tricks Begin
From the last 3 elections we've seen that the GOP will stoop to any level to win an election. Apparently they are smart enough to realise they cannot win in a fair contest and this election is no different.
For weeks now GOP voter fraud has been detected, 11 in O.C. charged with voter registration fraud [www.latimes.com] Dozens of people who thought they were signing up to be Democrats ended up Republican. Those accused in the case are low-level, per-signature workers. These "low level" pre-signature workers are now facing jail time not the GOP big wigs who hired them.
Today we hear of deceptive GOP Robo calls bringing back memories of the GOP phone jamming scheme in the 2002 elections which resulted in jail time for those involved. As long as the corrupt GOP only gets a slap on the wrist for this type of voter corruption they will be allowed to get away with it.
POLITICS -- RIGHT WING RESORTS TO HARASSING ROBO-CALLS: In multiple states around the country, conservative groups have devised a way to suppress turnout and smear political opponents through push polling. (Push polling is "a campaign tactic that is often criticized as deceptive because it involves calling potential voters under the guise of measuring public opinion, while the real intent is to change opinions with questions that push people in one direction or the other.") The scheme involves making "repeated robo-calls to households late in the evening or early in the morning," when voters will be "sleeping and most annoyed by the calls." "When someone answers, they're led to believe the call is coming from" the conservative group's opponent. Those who end the call early believe the opponent's campaign is pestering them, and those who stay on the call receive misleading information. One Vermont resident said she received 21 of these calls since October 24. "They are very annoying," she said. A conservative group called Common Sense Ohio is funding the calls in that state. Pew Research Center pollster said the calling "smells like a push poll, it feels like a push poll, so I guess we have to call it a push poll." "The way they're sent is deceptive," one Pennsylvania voter told the Associated Press. "The number of calls is harassing. The way her stances are presented in these stories is deliberately misleading and deceptive."

Whew Kalki Guar, the questions that begged to be asked are: 1) Where have you been for the last 5 years? 2) Are you aware that George Bush has waged war, an illegal war against a sovereign nation? 3) Are you aware that his war is mainly against the Muslims of the world.
Maybe you support that sort of thing and that's fine but I do not and will not...EVER support that War or the neocons.
Good evening
Libby
Kalki Guar is an idiot! OMG.
I bet he's some bot or operative sent to spam that post on all the political blogs. ROFL

Yep, old Kalki is definitely living in la la land a sure sign he's a neocon.
Jimmy Carter? OMFG can you believe that crap? He has more love and compassion in his little toe nail than the whole bush family combined.
The neocons are nothing if not delusional. Sheesh, no wonder they've screwed up our country for the last 12 years.
Thanks for stopping by Cat and witnessing Mr. psychopath.
