Look what MoveOn.org just emailed me, I've got ten of them so far...

[SirFishalot]

Thank you for registering for MoveOn.org PAC's presidential primary. You'll get another email with your own unique voting link late Monday night or early Tuesday morning. Voting will begin 12:00 am, Tuesday, June 24th.

[SirFishalot]

I have thirteen more email accounts to check, LMAO. Go Al Sharpton

[Lloyd227]

I just registered and encourage all other freepers to register as well. This is our chance to help boost or deflect the democratic candidates. :-)

Go Al Sharpton!!

[Sender]

ROFL! Go Al go! "If de candidate fit, you mus' run de dimwit"

[RippleFire]

bump

[j.havenfarm]

I'm signed up, too. Though Kucinich is my personal choice, I've decided to bow to Hugh Hewitt's request and vote for Dean so as to help form a solid voting block.

[CyberAnt]

FOR THE THIRD TIME:

This is not a FReeping opportunity - this is lunacy! These people are COMMUNISTS!

THINK ABOUT IT ...!!

DO YOU REALLY WANT YOUR NAME ON A LIST ASSOCIATED WITH A COMMUNIST ORGANIZATION ...??

HOW WILL YOU EXPLAIN THIS WHEN THE DOJ OR THE FBI COME CALLING AND ASKING YOU QUESTIONS AND POKING INTO YOUR PRIVATE AFFAIRS ...??

[wewillnotfail]

It's nothing more than an online poll and screwing with it is going to be fun. Now who do i want to pump? The choices, the choices. So sweet!

[CyberAnt]

Well ... when the FBI starts monitoring your computer - let us know, okay ...??

[Katya]

Absolutely vote for Kucinich...Not Al Sharpton. Al has no chance of winning this, so you are essentially diluting the vote. Kucinich is very popular with the far left. How much fun would a Kucinich vs. Bush debate be?

Vote Kucinich in the Move on vote!!!

[Katya]

I should have added: Hugh Hewitts request to vote for Dean is ridiculously stupid. Dean is problematic, as he is pro gun and very slick...he doesn't come off as a pansy politicians like Kerry. MoveOn is going to send the winning candidate a truck load of money...let it go to someone with no hope of winning.

[HoustonCurmudgeon]

HOW WILL YOU EXPLAIN THIS WHEN THE DOJ OR THE FBI COME CALLING AND ASKING YOU QUESTIONS AND POKING INTO YOUR PRIVATE AFFAIRS

I intend to show them my security clearance and five delegate badges to the Texas Republican State Convention. If that doesn't work I'll have them call Tom DeLay for a reference.

GO AL GO!!!

[joebuck]

"HOW WILL YOU EXPLAIN THIS WHEN THE DOJ OR THE FBI COME CALLING AND ASKING YOU QUESTIONS AND POKING INTO YOUR PRIVATE AFFAIRS ...??"

How about sending them a link to this thread?

[CyberAnt]

You said: "How about sending them a link to this thread?"

What link are you talking about ...??

Look ... it's like this - if you sign up on Move-On's website, you become a part of their records. They have your email, your address, your telephone ... etc. If the FBI is investigating the organization (because they are Communists - who advocate the overthrow of the U.S. government), your name is going to show up in their records as BEING A MEMBER OF THEIR ORGANIZATION. How stupid is that ...??

[CyberAnt]

Well ... good luck!!

[yianni]

For your voting pleasure-

Go Al GO!

Vote Kucinich in the Move on vote!!!

Can you imagine a president who is proud to have driven the city (Cleveland) he served as mayor into bankruptcy? The lefties are so out of touch

[yianni]

"How much fun would a Kucinich vs. Bush debate be?"
Ans: None


Kuncinich is a pitiful freak.
Al, now Al, is a BUFFOON.

[CyberAnt]

Hmmmm? I just realized that getting that security clearance renewed will be especially challenging. Belonging to a Communist organization is a NO-NO!!! Good luck though!

[Susannah]

Communism can't be against the law. The Communist party of America has their own website...http://www.cpusa.org

There are also groups who marched against the war carrying banners 'Young Communist League'. I believe there are still photos of this protest at http://www.calpatriot.org

also check out the below site to see who made the ballot for president under the Communist party>>

Gus Hall, American Communist Party candidate for president
1972, 1976, 1980, 1984

[BillyBoy]

BUMP!!! GO SHARPTON GO.

Yes, freepers, Kunchich and Dean are also equally fervant hard-leftists....but neither is as UNELECTED and CRAZY as the good Rev. Al "Tawana Brawley" Sharpton. Con Artists make GREAT Dem candidates!!!

[Nowhere Man]

Bumpity, bump, bump!

Can't wait to vote for Al Sharpton tomorrow! Al's da man! Let's get Freepin'!

[wjcsux]

Tinfoil hat alert!

[joef]

Yup, nothing shows a support for democracy like stuffing a ballot box. But please, do vote for Kucinich. Sharpton isn't getting any votes over there.

But one question. What makes you think that MoveOn is communist? I've looked over the site, and can't find anything suggesting overthrow of the government or any of that. Do you have access to secret internal documents?

Oh, and seriously...the FBI hasn't come crashing through the doors of suspected communists since McCarthy was around. (And while I'm sure a few of you think he was a great American or whatnot, but he really didn't do anything about communism in America. Hoover did, but McCarthy just embarrased some lefty actors/film makers.)

[honeygrl]

"DO YOU REALLY WANT YOUR NAME ON A LIST ASSOCIATED WITH A COMMUNIST ORGANIZATION ...?? "

As long as you don't send them money then you aren't supporting them and therefore aren't really associated with them. The site only requires your name (which you can use a fake name if you want) and your email address to participate in the vote. The other fields are optional. DOn't be so paranoid. It makes you look silly.

[honeygrl]

" They have your email, your address, your telephone ... etc."

To participate in the vote I was only required to put in my name and email addy. The name I put in wasn't even my real name. It didn't even have a field for telephone number. Are you on crack?

[rwfromkansas]

You are rather paranoid.

[Redcloak]

And you use your real name for these things because... why?

[rwfromkansas]

As for your "Communist" allegation, where did you find that?

They support (what they call) moderate to progressive candidates. They don't say "communist" candidates.

[Black Agnes]

ping.

[CyberAnt]

You can do what you want! Nobody's stopping you. Even if you use a FAKE name - they have your email address - so what's the point ...??

I'm not paranoid. I LOVE AMERICA - I hate Communism! That's it!

[honeygrl]

BTTT, great poll to freep (and ignore the paranoid guy trying to stop the freep)

[CyberAnt]

Okay - you're telling me you put in a FAKE name - and your email address - and you don't think they know who you really are ... I'm not the one on crack sweetie!!!

[CyberAnt]

progressive = democrat

democrat = Democratic Socialist Party members

DSP = COMMUNIST!!

[finnman69]

just voted for Sharpton. ROFL

[honeygrl]

"Okay - you're telling me you put in a FAKE name - and your email address - and you don't think they know who you really are ... I'm not the one on crack sweetie!!! "

So you think they are going to go through all 1.4 million registered people there and contact their email providers to get their real names just to see who is registered on a democratic website that makes no mention of communism? I think you need to up your medication or slow down on the crack pipe. You are being paranoid over something silly. Unless you send them money, you aren't supporting them. If they did something illegal or the people involved with the group were hunted down for some reason it would be the people who give them money, not the people who simply registered to vote on their poll.

[honeygrl]

I voted for Sharpton too! :)

[ewing]

I gave the liberal wackos my old email adress..

[Under the Radar]

Heck, it is closed! :(

[Nowhere Man]

Plus too, the Rats ask for your street address and phone number. B-(

[Sloth]

You are plain old crazy, dude.

[BillyBoy]

>> Plus too, the Rats ask for your street address and phone number. <<

Ask nicely and ye shall receive. MoveOn.org is now fully "aware" that my street address is 666 and my phone number is (123) 456-7890. And yes, they "accepted" my vote for the Rev. Al!!

[honeygrl]

"Plus too, the Rats ask for your street address and phone number. B-( "

Who says you have to put your real one in there though? I didn't.

[FreedomRing]

Uh, I hate to break up the party but did it occur to anyone that they will be cross-referencing your street address and phone number against the white and yellow pages. It's only been available in electronic form forever. Anyone can buy a consumer version. It took me five seconds to find this one on CD:

http://www.cd-rom-directories.com/index.html?target=dept_164.html&lang=en-us

This one contains 104 million residents and businesses and I'm sure there are more advanced ones than this.

They might receive your vote but that doesn't mean it gets counted. Dupes and invalid addresses get thrown out when they run the results against the database. Sorry.

The question is what do they do when they catch you cheating? They have your e-mail... oooooooh. I'll bet they give to the FBI.

[honeygrl]

My number is unlisted so I don't see how they could do that to mine. And is there a law against lying about your address on an internet poll? I doubt it's something the FBI would bother with. There is no reason for this paranoia over an internet poll. Worst case scenario is they deem your vote invalid and toss it.

[FreedomRing]

I don't know what specific rules Moveon has put in place but I assume they throw out a vote if the number is unlisted. They are not protecting Fort Knox here. This is really just a straw poll to get a sense of which Dem candidate is most favored by the progressive vote. And it's not uncommon to throw out votes that don't meet certain rules - even in a major election. Who could forget the hanging chads in the last presidential election? Sheesh.

My sense is that your wasting your time but if it makes you feel good you go girl... Enjoy Guantanamo Bay!

[j.havenfarm]

Ok, you convinced me. I voted for Kucinich. But I did express may "strong support" for Mosely-Braun, Sharpton, Kucinich, and Dean.

[joef]

In case anyone cares -

MoveOn had to limit voters to people over the age of 18...because this counts under federal rules as an actual primary (or something similar), according to them. A 15 year old liberal blogger found this out the other day when he tried to get a ballot.

So there may indeed be some sort of penalty for faking your info. Not sure if anyone will get caught or followed up on (most likely, it'll just get tossed out), but I figured I'd let you all know.

As for those that think this is just a "straw poll", MoveOn is prepared to give any candidate that gets more than 50% of the vote their full support, including their extensive funding support (in 2000, as I recall, it was close to 2 million dollars).

And unless tens of thousands of you signed up, voting for anyone but Dean, Kucinich, or Kerry is pointless. Those guys were top 3 in the actual straw poll not long ago...no one else has a very good shot at getting to 50%. Odds are, no one will anyway..it was a pretty close race last time.
