Statement On Obama Campaign’s Letter To Justice Department On Voter Fraud
ARLINGTON, VA — Today, McCain-Palin 2008 Spokesman Ben Porritt issued the following statement in response to the Obama campaign’s letter to Attorney General Michael Mukasey:
"After a week of shifting stories and clumsy corrections regarding Barack Obama’s connections to ACORN, the Obama campaign resorted to their now-customary heavy handed tactic of attempting to criminalize political discourse. Today’s outrageous letter to Attorney General Mukasey and Special Prosecutor Dannehy at the Justice Department asking for a special prosecutor to investigate Senator McCain and Governor Palin’s public statements about ACORN’s record of fraudulent voter registrations (including in this week’s Presidential debate) is absurd. It is a typical time-worn Washington attempt to criminalize political differences. For someone who promises ‘change,’ it is certainly only more of the same.
"The letter’s request that the Department of Justice investigate ‘recent partisan Republican activities throughout the country’ is almost a parody of the Obama campaign’s attempt to intimidate their political opponents. In case Sen. Obama’s lawyer did not notice, we are in the midst of a political campaign, not a coronation, and the alleged criminal activity he calls ‘recent partisan Republican activities’ are what the rest of us call campaign speeches and debates. All of this is unfortunately reminiscent of the Obama campaign’s recent creation of a ‘truth squad’ of Missouri prosecutors and sheriffs to ‘target’ people who criticize Sen. Obama. Rest assured that, despite these threats, the McCain-Palin campaign will continue to address the serious issue of voter registration fraud by ACORN and other partisan groups, and compliance by states with the Help America Vote Act’s requirement of matching new voter registrations with state data bases to prevent voter fraud."

It seems I’m not the only one that sees Obama as the undemocratic fascist that he really is. I looked at the letter for myself and what McCain is saying is all too accurate. In it, the Obama campaign calls investigating voter fraud "an abuse of law enforcement." The letter also goes into the so-called controversial attorney firings a while back where Att. Gen Gonzales fired corrupt federal prosecutors who would not investigate voter fraud. The Democrats didn’t like that one bit.
With these recent Acorn scams coming to light across the country in the form of hundreds of thousands of false registrations in just Ohio alone, we really start to see why the Democrats were so upset about Bush’s firings of attorneys who refused to help prosecute voter fraud. We also see why they oppose things like having to show a photo ID when you vote since it makes it much harder to vote under a fake registration. These are indeed scary times we live in.

“…the Obama campaign calls investigating voter fraud an abuse of law enforcement.”
This is coming from the same Obama campaign that uses law enforcement officers in Missouri to force Missouri television stations from airing “false” political ads.
The Obama campaign is the pure definition of “hypocrisy”.
