Let me get this straight:

In Obama's world there is nothing wrong with ACORN stuffing the ballot box nationwide with bogus regstrations http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081017/ap_on_el_pr/voter_fraud_fbi_13 , something they do every election cycle.http://opinionjournal.com/editorial/feature.html?id=110009189

There is also nothing wrong with subprime lending,http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2008/10/mccain-obama-ca.html   much of which was based on bogus loan applications and politically correct lending standards (demanded by....hmmm, ACORN). http://www.nypost.com/seven/09292008/postopinion/opedcolumnists/os_dangerous_pals_131216.htm?page=0 

But it is a big deal if Joe the Plumber has the right licenses. http://news.search.yahoo.com/search/news?p=joe+the+plumber+license+obama&ei=UTF-8&y=Search

Looks like the "community organizers" living off the taxpayer get one set of rules, the taxpayers who will be paying for them will be expected to adhere to a much more stringent code of conduct. 

This line on Instapundit is chilling;   Americans will realize what happened to Joe could easily happen to them. And they will remember this come November.. http://www.pajamasmedia.com/instapundit/archives2/025844.php

But what do ordinary working stiffs expect. This is from a crowd that wants their followers to "get in their face" http://michellemalkin.com/2008/09/19/obama-releases-his-in-your-face-hounds/   and from a future First Lady who openly tells us that "Barack will never allow you to go back to your lives as usual, uninvolved, uninformed."  http://campaignspot.nationalreview.com/post/?q=NjljYjA3YTYzMjU2ZjA5Yzg1MmM2YjIzZjEyN2ZjZjk=

Michael Barone has been there, seen that (a little known fact is that the Almanac was originally written to help the antiwar movement organize nationally after Nixon's Cambodia incursion; not every antiwar person made bombs, Mr. Ayers) and he is not pleased with where this is going  http://article.nationalreview.com/?q=YjUwZWIwZTNhY2Y0YTFkYzFmZTIyZWUwZWNkYjk4ZGM=

I leave with one point. Much as it is the practice in Third World nations, the constitutional protections of privacy and liberty are safe under President Obama as long as they are consistent with his personal political agenda.  Otherwise, our rights will be limited to these rights. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miranda_warning (No wonder you don't mind a sit down with Hugo Chavez, it's not like you won;t have much to share) 

(P.S. Note to MBNA Joe Biden. Some plumbers are quite wealthy. The father of noted CT fugitive Alex Kelly http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alex_Andrew_Kelly was a plumber.)

Joe plumber asked McCain if he was planning to tax his health care.  What would the response be?  Sure he would be a hero to the Barack backers, but would we be doing anything close to whats being done now?

 

Probably not, and even if we did

the press wouldn;t cover it

You begin with a false premise

" ACORN stuffing the ballot box"

You don't even understand what you're trying to write about. ACORN isn't "stuffing the ballot box". They register voters. They are not allowed to destroy any registrations they are given; they are REQUIRED - get that? REQUIRED - to submit all registrations, even if it says  "Mickey Mouse." They flag them as being questionable and then they're thrown out after they're submitted and they don't check out. That is a far cry from "stuffing the ballot box."

You have been duped again by a false "crisis" generated by the GOP.

I suppose the FBI is easily duped

I dunno Caroline, maybe you live in a place where it's peachy keen to register seven year old girls to vote but here in CT we take a dim view of corrupt practices   http://www.connpost.com/localnews/ci_10661361

Now having closely observed some of CT's most down and dirty campaigns let me tell ya how it;'s done.

a) You pad the registrations list with bogus names, or make sure the canvass doesn;t remove dead people or move aways.

b) You get absentee ballot applications for these "voters"

c) They cast ballots election day via absentee.

It's virtually impossible to post-election decipher 'real' voters from "fake" voters this way.

http://www.jacksonville.com/apnews/stories/111700/D78AP2H80.html

Toby Moffett, a supporter of Vice President Al Gore, is among those who can attest to the potential for last-minute mischief that absentee ballots sometimes create.

Moffett, a former congressman, appeared to have won the 1986 Democratic primary for governor of Connecticut after the machine votes were counted, only to lose in the end to William A. O'Neill by 43 absentee votes. Several O'Neill supporters were later arrested for absentee-ballot fraud, but the statutory deadline for calling a new election passed before proof was presented in court.

"We were having a victory party," Moffett said, "and suddenly this absentee ballot issue was in our face and it changed everything. It was the one thing we hadn't counted on, and I'm not sure there was a way to prepare for it, frankly."

You know, you liberals are really touching in your naivete. It's really sort of sweet, until one considers the sour reality you avert your eyes to.
