McCain Campaign Responds to Obama's DOJ Letter


The McCain campaign has issued a response to Bob Bauer's letter to Attorney General Mukasey.  As one might expect, their response is a huge load of horseshit.

"The letter's request that the Department of Justice investigate 'recent partisan Republican activities throughout the country' is almost a parody of the Obama campaign's attempt to intimidate their political opponents. In case Sen. Obama's lawyer did not notice, we are in the midst of a political campaign, not a coronation, and the alleged criminal activity he calls 'recent partisan Republican activities' are what the rest of us call campaign speeches and debates. All of this is unfortunately reminiscent of the Obama campaign's recent creation of a 'truth squad' of Missouri prosecutors and sheriffs to 'target' people who criticize Sen. Obama. Rest assured that, despite these threats, the McCain-Palin campaign will continue to address the serious issue of voter registration fraud by ACORN and other partisan groups, and compliance by states with the Help America Vote Act's requirement of matching new voter registrations with state data bases to prevent voter fraud."

In case the McCain campaign missed it, one reason we know about the voter registration problems is because ACORN has been in complete compliance with the Help America Vote Act.  Like I said, this is a huge load of horseshit.

shallow, small, deflective response from shallow, small, deflective campaign.

Regarding Acorn, it would be great if different people showed up at the polls in Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse, and Fred Flinstone outfits to protest being deleted from Acorn's voter registration cards.

Get real HR!

ACORN registering poor Americans to vote is UNAMERICAN!!!!

It is communist or at least socialist, and it should be illegal!

Poor people just want government handouts - Republicans only give handouts to folks who will send a lot of it back to the GOP, like Wall Street or no bid war profiteers!

John McCain couldn't vote when he was in that box for five years and he didn't fight for anyone's so-called right to vote - and he sure as hell isn't going to start now.

Check out this post at Daily Kos from someone who just voted in WV and the machine didn't want him to vote for Obama.

*That* is scary.
