Let me tell you about ACORN in 2004. In 2004 everyone knew that Ohio would determine if Bush or Kerry would be president.

ACORN came to Ohio and turned in some 250,000 fake registrations. There were over a 1,000 in small Pike County Ohio. I was sent by the Bush campaign to get a list of the fake registrations in Pike County. The campaign sent a local lawyer with me to make sure that the Board Of Elections in Pike county allowed me to get the list of names.

The night before the election several thousand trained lawyers were flown into Ohio. They were used as observers at every precinct in the state that had fake registrations. They announced themselves as lawyers and that they were there to challenge any illegal voters.

Each had a cell phone set up to call Federal Marshall’s in if anyone tried to vote the fake registrations.

In Ohio not a single one of those fake registrations were voted. Election night you may recall that Kerry was crying about there being 250 thousand votes in Ohio that had not been counted. He refused to concede. The next morning he called every board of elections in everyone of Ohio’s 88 counties asking about his missing 250 thousand votes. That is when he learned that all 250 thousand of them were fake.

The only conclusion was ACORN ripped off the Kerry campaign for a little over 2.5 million dollars or that Bush had made certain they would be caught and punished in federal courts.

You may not know it but all advertising in federal political campaigns by federal law must be cash in advance. With three weeks to go final spot buys have been made and paid for. Candidates can only cancel and get the money back.

Yet this week Bush raised 2 million dollars in Florida for McCain. There are over 400 thousand fake registrations in Florida alone. I leave it to you to guess how the 2 million
is going to be used. I don’t know either.. but I can guess.

People on sites like this think that those who want to be paid to vote fake registrations will do so when they know the end result is years in prison. Ohio 2004 proves they won’t even try.

Campaigns that do illegal things always isolate the candidate so he or she can’t be convicted. They are always the last to know about illegal activities. I doubt seriously if Kerry ever told anyone what he learned in those 88 phone calls. “I got ripped off for over 2.5 million bucks!” is not something Kerry would want known.

And why didn’t the democrat board of elections members tell the Democrats what ACORN was doing? Certainly they all knew. I think they told local party officials to not try it.. that the Bush campaign knew who the fake voters were and were just waiting to send as many democrats to prison as possible.

But to the extent local party officials were involved it is not likely they would tell those above them. I decided not to try to steal votes because I would get caught is not something they would want a lot of people to know.

But those that think McCain is just standing by and doing nothing greatly underestimate McCain and the RNC. Saying “Here is how we are going to stop you from stealing votes!” so the Democrats can figure out a better way to steal the election is not very smart either. But lots of people on web sights think that is the way the situation should be handled.

To reduce the chances of being proven guilty I suspect ACORN was just charged with registering the 250 thousand. Most likely it was some other organization that was charged with finding the people to vote the fake names. I would not be surprised to find out the FBI is monitoring that organization as well.

It was the RNC that stopped the illegal voting in Ohio in 2004.. Democrats would be very stupid to believe they won’t stop it again.
