Dave is a typical, prime example, of a dumb liberal demoncrat. We don't have to steal election like the Barack Hussain obama Acorn devils. Farrakhan has some interesting videos on youtube.. about him being jesus and obama being the messiah.. and that white people owe blacks the whole da.. country.. I don't owe them . hit...

I was at the obama event tonight. Just before my little kid who is 8 years old she had to releive her bladder. when we tried to come back in they said we had to wait for obama to leave. when we were in side i had both of my children. one child is autistic her sister had to pee and i was the only one who colud take her. what do you think of a child lost and alone (autistic mind youcould have made it to her mother alone). I just think seceret sevice was wrong.

What is wrong with you people? These probably aren't fraudulent registrations. This is a historical election, and people are eager to take part in it!

Record number of fraudulent registrations. Felons registering felons. The dems are cheating and it's as clear as the nose on our faces.

Many of these votes are fraudulent. Homeless people, using YMCA or homeless shelters are registering numerous times using different addys and voting numerous times. WOW. Obama is cheating so bad just to get votes. Hmmmm. And you want him to be President? Where's the integrity there? I haven't heard him denounce the votes, either. SO, the dems need to register often and vote numerous times to beat the republicans. These are the people who scammed us out of our money over the last 2 years in Congress. They are running Obama's campaign and you think it is right? Dave, you really need to have the cobwebs cleaned from the cavity in your skull. Who is stealing the votes now?

I just wonder how many of these new voters are the homless people that the Obama campaign drove to the polls.... I wonder if they got McDonalds on their way??? Seems like VOTE BUYING to me. Of course what do you expect out of a Dirty Democrat

It's great to know that the Democrats are in power in Ohio. The big Republican voter suppression machine won't be stealing any elections there this year.
