Why Does the GOP Hate Democracy?

Oh, it's a word alright.

About as common as unicorns, but...

You USians should try having non-partisan electoral agencies like real democracies do. Is non-partisan even a word down there?

This is an English-only board, mister. Try again.

Perfect example: I did market research at movie theaters for Nielsen Ratings. We would ask people waiting to see their movies if they would check out a trailer/commercial/product placement to get their responses. Trouble is, at $4/survey, there was no way any of us (3 at a time, plus the supervisor - me or my manager) could make more than 8 bucks an hour if we only stuck to the people we actually talked to. So we padded our results with phonies.

ACORN workers are paid hourly, though. It's about $8/hour, coincidentally enough.

There is virtually no chance of any of the dead people or Dallas Cowboys showing up in Nevada and trying to vote, especially because they don't know they've been registered there.

Of course, you don't actually have to show up to vote. Just sayin'.

I'd like to make a point of order. WTF do the Dallas Cowboys have to do with this discussion?
I know, Jon thinks I'm slow-witted; and by his words, many here do, which I'm ok by; but can you answer a simple man's question?

ACORN tried to register the starting line up of that team.

Uh, as was explained, the problem was of workers turning in fraudulent registrations so they could meet their daily quotas. There is no evidence that any of the applications were turned in with the intent to commit voter fraud in November.

Again, can you provide documented cases of anyone being convicted of voting under a fraudulent registration?

I found this, I have no idea what this website is, and it obviously doesn't provide specifics:

http://www.truthdig.com/report/item/20070314_the_real_voter_fraud/

The Justice Department’s own statistics show that of 87 ballot-fraud convictions obtained since the department launched its “voter integrity” initiative in 2002, 17 were for noncitizen voting and another six were for multiple voting. Most of the cases involved vote-buying schemes hatched by local politicians in Kentucky, West Virginia and elsewhere.

Whether or not its widespread to a significant degree for a national election, its a pretty tough nut to identify and prosecute successfully unless you're a convicted felon (in a state that prohibits voting felons)

Go ahead. You'd be doing the left a favor. Maybe then Faux News would hire someone who would actually bother to drive the truck thru all Hannity's argumentative holes.

Most of us can read and comprehend a one and a half page thread.

[SlowwHand]

Provided it's what they read. Excuse me for not reading through all the trash.

You always bring a smile to my day Sloww.

[SlowwHand]

You want to smile more? Think about how easily I diverted your train of thought in this thread.
Now, call me slow-witted again.
