Rove tricks? McCain absentee ballots raise questions

It may be legal but is it ethical?

Does McCain know right from wrong?
Michigan Messenger » Rove tricks? McCain absentee ballots raise questions

Ed Brayton's Dispatches from the Culture Wars has more to say and don't miss out on the comments section at the bottom.
More GOP Voter Suppression

I read somewhere that Obama wasn't standing for it (like the Dems did in 2000 and 2004) and is going to court.

So, the McCain campaign is using the United States Postal Service to defraud and disenfranchise voters. How many federal laws are they breaking again? Voter fraud, mail fraud, entrapment, encouraging others to commit felonies...
Of course, Republicans ignoring the law is nothing new.

I received my absentee ballot from John McCain just last week (see photo of the mailer) and although I called to verify that unsolicited ballots were legal, I’d never looked at an absentee ballot before in my life, so I had no idea of the problems being caused across the country by McCain’s absentee ballot forms. This is all looking very reminiscent of the Rovian tactics used during the 2000 and 2004 presidential elections.

What a bunch of f-ing Bull!!
There should not be any absentee ballot other than ones sent out by the Secretary of State's office in each state. My God what a bunch of worthless morons!!

You have to show a photo id to vote in person here, but you can vote by unsolicited absentee ballot ?? What kind of morons are running the Michigan secretary of states office here-- the same ones that are running the rest of the government??

(did I express myself well?)

Man, this thread and then the last one where I really got ticked...

I needa break

My poor dog is sick and we've been to the vet 2ce, bummer. She's wearing a collar to keep her from messing with her problem and she's miserable,

I know, I'll go mow the law and let off some steam

Thanks nick!

The first time I saw a dog with one of those, I thought the dog got Dish Network.

Actually they have this new kind that looks like she's wearing a huge donut on her neck.

The GOP in Michigan. The gift that keeps on giving.

Lose your house, lose your vote

and then when this GOP tactic is exposed,

Messenger rejects GOP plea for retraction

All the while employing other practices of voter suppression. "push polls" anyone?
Michigan Jewish voters targeted in ‘push poll’

How come I'm not finding similar deceptive practices being employed by the Obama campaign? Sure there's a bit of mud slinging but that's to be expected. The McCain campaign seems to be willing to lose on the integrity field to win an election.

You aren't seeing the campaign ads that are here, but McCains ads are full of lies without anything to attempt to back them up.
Everything in the Obama ads have citations to support his claims.

The republicans have stooped to new lows, they must be running scared.
