When it comes to voter registration fraud, the Republicans are the champs, hands down.

We've reported on Sproul many times over the years, as the GOP operative, and former chair of the Arizona GOP and the state's Christian Coalition, pops up again and again in each Presidential Election year. He is hired over and over by the Republican Party, despite years of fraud allegations in multiple states against his organizations, which are said to have routinely changed or entirely destroyed Democratic voter registrations.
He operates as Sproul & Associates as well as Lincoln Strategy Group, among other names, including now, apparently, Strategic Allied Consulting.

This is sickening.  Never mind the fact that it's being done right now, but the fact that this guy has been doing it year after year and continues to still get paid millions of dollars by the GOP despite the allegations against him and his company is insane.  It's out there in the open and these fargers don't give a damn and just keep doing dirty shtein because they know that they'll never actually be held accountable.  Farg this country.

I thought this little blurb about ACORN was the most telling since hyper-conservatives and FoxNews spent months howling at the moon about them...

As we described earlier today, in our story on the disturbing Colorado GOP voter registration worker video, while Republicans had long been critical of fraudulent voter registration efforts they inaccurately attributed to ACORN, the non-partisan, four-decade old community organizing group (which has since been forced into bankruptcy as a result of the years-long GOP effort to mischaracterize them and their work) there is no evidence, to our knowledge, that any of its tens of thousands of registration workers ever screened out potential registrants from one party or another before allowing them to register, as seen in CO.

Neither is there evidence that any of their workers ever changed party affiliations on registration forms, as is being alleged tonight in Palm Beach County, or destroyed Democratic forms, as has been alleged over the years, as noted by Republican Rep. Cannon.

Moreover, it should be noted that of the handful of ACORN registration workers who submitted fraudulent applications over the years, almost all of those workers were turned into officials by ACORN themselves. The group checked all applications for validity before turning them in, flagged those which appeared to be fraudulent, and then turned them in to officials, along with the names of the workers who had defrauded them.

Contrast that with the disturbing activities of Sproul & Associates, Lincoln Strategies and now Sproul's Strategic Allied Consulting, along with what was admitted to by the Republican Party today in Colorado, and revealed by a number of recent cases of massive registration fraud by the Republican Party in California. (For the record, ACORN was never hired to do registration work by the Democratic Party, despite inaccurate Republican claims to the contrary.)

The GOP just isn't a legitimate political party anymore. They don't have any policy ideas and the ideas they do have are wildly unpopular. They kowtow to the most extreme religious and financial whims against the interest of the huge majority of the country. Now, in addition to the vote suppression campaign, this shtein is getting splattered all over the news. How can anyone take the GOP seriously?

Mitt Romney clip from 1985 describing Bain Capital as a company that would harvest companies and then sell them off in 5-8 years for a profit:

When it comes to voter registration fraud, the Republicans are the champs, hands down.

Update. NC and the RNC are now cutting ties with the firm. I also just read a quick article speculating that the effort to suppress voter turnout is one of the reasons that Obama is pulling away from Romney and Democrats are likely to retain the Senate and possibly take back the House. People don't like having their basic inalienable rights farged with.

hopefully yesterdays hideous economic news doesnt hurt barry....the good news is that gdp is a little to wonky for any undecideds at this point

i just saw obamas new 47% ad....wow is that devastating

[Rome]

Economic news won't hurt him because all he has to do is point to an obstructionist congress as the culprits (which they are).

[rjs246]

Also the bigger economic news was that the US added 360,000 more jobs last year than originally thought. That's a big number and with jobs being everyone's talking point I think it pretty easily outweighs the GDP number.

[phattymatty]

the only thing dangerous about obama pulling away is the possibility that people don't feel like they have to vote anymore.

there needs to be some kind of campaign to try to make obama win by the biggest margin ever.

[rjs246]

The Obama campaign just started a get out the vote effort yesterday actually. I think it's called Gotta Vote or something equally idiotic.

[rjs246]

Just mailed in my request for an absentee ballot.

I wonder if they'll suppress my vote once they realize that I'm the only white male in central Virginia voting against Eric Cantor. farg that clown.

[phattymatty]

we will be back in time to vote.
