Awwwwww, it sucks to be Miller...:rofl



A source on Rep. Joe Wilson's campaign says his fundraising has broken $1 million -- and surpassed that of his Democratic rival, Rob Miller -- since his outburst of "You lie!" during President Obama's address to Congress Wednesday.

The source said Wilson's current tally is $1,005,021 from 18,859 donations amid a high-profile campaign on the Drudge Report and elsewhere telling conservatives that Wilson is "under attack" for his willingness to take on Obama.

time for acorn to show up in his district and register voters

Also time for some legal gerrymandering authorized by the Voting Rights Act. I wouldn't be suprised that Wilson's district is redrawn between now and the mid-term election.

From the same article:

CORRECTION: He may still trail Democrat Rob Miller, who broke $1 million yesterday.


:sinking: :2rofll:

Well, Wilson broke a million the day before. Still sucks to be Miller...:rofl

The midterms are going to be a sad, sad year for the Leftists.
 
It sounds like he represents his district well then. They, also, are loudmouthed boors...
 
Apdst, please stop with the troll threads. Your logic is lacking, and that is an understatement. Williams is going to oust Wilson if Dems from all over the country have anything to do about it.

Dems from all over the country can't vote in that district. Wilson's consituents are the only ones whose opinions really matter.

Not if Acorn gets involved.
 
Truer words never spoken.

Other than the fact that it was sarcasm. Voter fraud has never been a problem in this country. Its almost non-existent not enough to ever swing an election

Let every vote count, is the Democratic Party's mantra these days. That slogan might better be: Let every vote count as often as we need to win.
Such, at any rate, are the tactics of ACORN, Barack Obama's favorite "community organizers," and its Project Vote - of which, the Democratic presidential candidate has boasted, "I started working as the director . . . here in Chicago."


ACORN has been implicated in voter-fraud schemes in 15 states - including Ohio, from where The Post's Jeane MacIntosh reports today that a Board of Elections investigation has unearthed evidence of widespread voter fraud.

VOTE-FRAUD-A-GO-GO
 

Voter registration fraud is not the same thing as voter fraud. I'm sorry to burst your bubble for it to actually be voter fraud all those fake registered people would have to materialize and actually, you know, vote. Again do you have any proof that voter fraud is widespread?

It did swing the election in 2000 in Missouri. John Ashcroft was defeated by Mel Carnahan (who was dead by the way) due in large part to voter fraud as well as polling stations being kept open past the cutoff in highly democratic leaning districts in St. Louis and St. Louis County. How did that turn out for ya?

Any proof that there was voter fraud or is this speculation? The judge asked because of voting difficulties he was then overturned but do you have any proof of voter fraud?

Not right off hand, but I lived in Missouri at the time and it was all over the local news. It got swept under the rug by the media because the Florida debacle took center stage.

Any time there is a huge problem with phony voter registration, there is going to be a problem with phony votes, albeit a smaller amount. This is exactly why I support requiring a state issued ID card to vote. Phony voter registration is cheap and easy. Phony ID's for the sole intention of voting is not cheap and easy. ID cards being required in order to vote will eliminate the need to question someone who is voting as "Mickey Mouse", "Paul Newman" or the Dallas Cowboys football team.

A very very small amount. Can you point to how many cases of actual voter fraud have taken place in the last 2 elections? Its going to be something really small. So there's nothing to prove the missouri election was the result of voter fraud. If you want state ID's to vote you're going to have to subsidize the old folk and poor who either don't have the time or money or transportation to get an ID. Otherwise you'll be disenfranchising a whole voter block. Then youll end up spending more money than it takes to find the very very few cases of voter fraud

The "too poor" or "can't afford public transportation" schtick is really, really lame. I think you mean "too lazy" don't you? I mean, if they can make it out to vote on election day, can't they make it out one other day of the freaking year to get an ID? Maybe instead of funding groups like ACORN (who is the main culprit behind voter registration and voter fraud in the first place), we subsidize the poor and pay for their ID card with our taxpayer money? Nah, that would be too simple and pretty much close the door on voter fraud. :roll:

No I mean extremely poor and elderly. There are many states down south where people may live in the same area for generations without moving. Remote backwater whatever you want to call it. Transportation is hard and they may not be able to afford an ID. Some don't even have a drivers license. So you're speaking of punishing those for a very small minute unprovable amount. Do you have any proof that any actual registrations by acorn have lead to voter fraud or are you speculating again?

Again you're talking about the possible disenfranchisement of as much as tens of thousands of voters for about a possible hundred voter fraud cases over decades. Doesn't seem cost effective. Also without subsidizing ID cards you're talking about a poll tax.

So how exactly do they make it to the polls on election day, but can't get out to get an ID on a single day over a 4-6 year period?

Never heard of absentee balloting? Car pools that are organized for election day. Again you're talking about the possible disenfranchisement of tens of thousands who may live in very remote areas, are poor or elderly for a virtually nonexistent voter fraud problem

Absent from what, civilization? I live in the deep south. These folks have to go out to register for food stamps and re-register for it. They can't just "mail it in", they have to show up in person. So how is it they can do that, but can't get out to get an ID card? They have to have an ID card in order to get food stamps. You're using circular reasoning here instead of common sense. Try common sense, it might just show you the error of your logic.
