Republican Arrested for Voter Registration Fraud
So does this mean we'll hear the GOP accuse themselves of voter registration fraud, too? Of "stealing this election"? Of "destroying the fabric of democracy" as McCain decried last week?

Highlights:
"The owner of a firm that the California Republican Party hired to register tens of thousands of voters this year was arrested in Ontario over the weekend on suspicion of voter registration fraud."
"Jacoby's arrest by state investigators and the Ontario Police Department late Saturday came after dozens of voters said they were duped into registering as Republicans by people employed by YPM. The voters said YPM workers tricked them by saying they were signing a petition to toughen penalties against child molesters."
"YPM has been accused of using bait-and-switch tactics across the country. Election officials and lawmakers have launched investigations into the activities of YPM workers in Florida and Massachusetts."
"The firm was paid $7 to $12 for every Californian it registered as a member of the GOP. "

Obama's Face on a US FoodStamp...Republican Ignorance continues
Again, another example of the racial divisiveness coming from the Republican Party. This time from the Republican Women's club in San Bernardino County from my home state California. Who said California was filled with crazy tree hugging Liberals???
Here's a link to the entire story:

Here are excerpts:
"A Republican women's club in San Bernardino County sent out a recent newsletter with a photo of Barack Obama surrounded by fried chicken, watermelon and ribs, sparking widespread outrage and rebuke from GOP leaders and Democrats."
"Fedele said the mailer merely parodied the statements Obama made during a debate last summer and wasn't racist."

Ms. Fedele. Not racist? Tell that to the African-American Republican who was a member of your club who cried for 40 minutes straight when she received your newsletter in her email box.
I don't get these people? WTF was Fedele thinking when she created this newsletter? I mean really...It wasn't racist? Then why a food stamp, fried chicken, watermelon, ribs & kool-aid? Why not a Quarter, arugula salad, an apple, filet mignon and a diet pepsi? Obviously the images she used where blatant racial stereotypes for black people. Who was she kidding? Obviously, herself.
