Did SioBabble actually cite FDR's New Deal?  Does he not realize that almost the entire New Deal was declared unconstitutional?   Doesn't he realize that FDR tried to ursurp power by installing new Supreme Court Justices and break the balance of power between the Executive and Judicial Branches.  And I don't mean to replace the current ones.  He tried to load the bench with more until they would pass his laws. 

FDR is one of the worst Presidents in history.  He is viewed favorably by the "Liberal elite" of the academic world.  Who are too busy self loathing to actually think about what is good for our country.

If your going by western markets and game launches, not expansions. Then it sums up to:

1. Age of Conan

2. Warhammer

3. World of Warcraft(although this could be wrong as I couldn't find any numbers on games like Tabula Rasa or POTBS).

And before anyone says anything, even crappy games sell fast. So this is not an indication if the game is good. Only that it has received alot of hype. And that hype has turned over to people purchasing the game at launch to see what the hype is about. Better indicators are after the first free month is up and people re-sub.

 

Well if we're going to rig the numbers what was the first 24 hours for War in North America?

 

No need to rig, I doubt WoW broke that in the first day since well, the sub base was 10x smaller when WoW was released. That's also why it isn't a particularly impressive record since it's one of the few MMO's that has been released into this newly massive subscriber base.

 

The expansion however massively outsold anything WAR/AOC is putting up at the moment although people will discount that since it's an expansion.

Why do you come here with your WoW fanboism?  Is it really necessary?

 Op look up Ron Paul.... There is a third party option

I was one of 69K people to vote for him in the Primary here in Florida.

Warren Buffet - supports Obama

Bill Gates - endorses Obama's tax and economic plan

Mayor Bloomberg - non-affiliated

 

So, you trust the judgment of all these individuals, yet you think they are all wrong about Obama?

Supporting Obama is partisan Politics.  Quite a lot of them didn't support Obama at first because they knew he wasn't a good choice.  It wasn't until he won the Nomination that a lot of them chose to support Obama.

Well, there IS a problem, I suppose, because the valid registrations bring more poor, minority and otherwise unlikely to vote for Grampy/Trampy voters into the pool.

Republicans hate it when people who don't vote GOP vote.

 

And Democrats hate it when they can't cheat at voting. 

 

That is the only reason why they always fight voter ID card requirements.  Even bills that would pay for the entire thing (so no cost to the voter) are shot down because Democrats fight them. 

 

Oh, this is rich.

Most of these schemes push the cost on to the states.  Unfunded mandates from asshole GOP congressmen.

Then the voters DO pay for them, through taxes.  All in order to narrow the base of voters.

The stupid, it burns.

yeah keep convincing yourself of that.  Maybe if you repeat it enough the stupidity of the idea will burn the rest of your brain up. 

How can a program work unless everyone is truthful in voting. 

But screw it.  If they are going to cheat might as well run the whole thing like American Idol and let everyone call from home.

Cabe, why don't you write in who you think should be president then? The Dems won't get your vote and neither will the Reps and you still show your voice on who YOU think is the best qualified to run the country.

Because our system is broken and becuase of this we only have a choice of two parties.  Normally in past elections that didn't bother me and I voted for the candidate that I felt was the best one. 

But this year is different. 

In my opinion Obama is just that bad of a candidate that I have to vote for McCain.  I don't care about how he looks or talks or any of that.  I couldn't care less even if he was Muslim (which I know isn't true) but what I do care about is the fact that he is an extremist.  He is wrong for this country.  Obama belongs in a Socialist European country.  I don't want the United States to be like that. 

So in order to try and prevent the Democrats from getting such an extremist elected to office I have to vote for a guy that I don't agree with on many things. 

www.glassbooth.org does a good job of summarizing a lot of things and showing who lines up with your believes. 

Personally I have about a 75% agreement with Bob Barr.   I was around 80%+ agreement with Ron Paul.  (Depending on what I put my points to answer questions.)

You crack me up Cabe.

Name a democrat you would vote for as president (excluding I/D-Lieberman, of course ). If you voted Nader over Kerry, I think you're just ranting for ranting's sake.

Democrats I would consider voting for:

Sam Nunn

Evan Bayh

Tom Vilsack

Bill Richardson

Tim Kaine

Mark Warner

Pretty much I would at least consider most "New Democrats" other then Hillary Clinton.  (I just can't stand Hillary because I feel she stayed with Bill just to be politically expedient.)

Independents that I would strongly consider:

Warren Buffet

Bill Gates

Mayor Bloomberg

More Examples of ACORN's Voter Fraud. 

AR 1998 A contractor with ACORN-affiliated Project Vote was arrested for falsifying about 400 voter registration cards.
CO 2004 An ACORN employee admitted to forging signatures and registering three of her friends to vote 40 times.
2005 Two ex-ACORN employees were convicted in Denver of perjury for submitting false voter registrations.
FL 2004 A Florida Department of Law Enforcement spokesman said ACORN was “singled out” among suspected voter registration groups for a 2004 wage initiative because it was “the common thread” in the agency’s fraud investigations.
MI 2004 The Detroit Free Press reported that “overzealous or unscrupulous campaign workers in several Michigan counties are under investigation for voter-registration fraud, suspected of attempting to register nonexistent people or forging applications for already-registered voters.” ACORN-affiliate Project Vote was one of two groups suspected of turning in the documents.
MO 2007 Four ACORN employees were indicted in Kansas City for charges including identity theft and filing false registrations during the 2006 election.
2006 Eight ACORN employees in St. Louis were indicted on federal election fraud charges. Each of the eight faces up to five years in prison for forging signatures and submitting false information.
2003 Of 5,379 voter registration cards ACORN submitted in St. Louis, only 2,013 of those appeared to be valid. At least 1,000 are believed to be attempts to register voters illegally.
NC 2004 North Carolina officials investigated ACORN for submitting fake voter registration cards.
NM 2005 Four ACORN employees submitted as many as 3,000 potentially fraudulent signatures on the group’s Albuquerque ballot initiative. A local sheriff added: “It’s safe to say the forgery was widespread.”
2004 An ACORN employee registered a 13-year-old boy to vote. Citing this and other examples, New Mexico State Representative Joe Thompson stated that ACORN was “manufacturing voters” throughout New Mexico.
OH 2007 A man in Reynoldsburg was indicted on two felony counts of illegal voting and false registration, after being registered by ACORN to vote in two separate counties.
2004 A grand jury indicted a Columbus ACORN worker for submitting a false signature and false voter registration form. In Franklin County, two ACORN workers submitted what the director of the board of election supervisors called “blatantly false” forms. In Cuyahoga County, ACORN and its affiliate Project Vote submitted registration cards that had the highest rate of errors for any voter registration group.
MN 2004 During a traffic stop, police found more than 300 voter registration cards in the trunk of a former ACORN employee, who had violated a legal requirements that registration cards be submitted to the Secretary of State within 10 days of being filled out and signed.
PA 2008 An ACORN employee in West Reading, PA, was sentenced to up to 23 months in prison for identity theft and tampering with records. A second ACORN worker pleaded not guilty to the same charges and is free on $10,000 bail.
2004 Reading’s Director of Elections received calls from numerous individuals complaining that ACORN employees deliberately put inaccurate information on their voter registration forms. The Berks County director of elections said voter fraud was “absolutely out of hand,” and added: “Not only do we have unintentional duplication of voter registration but we have blatant duplicate voter registrations.” The Berks County deputy director of elections added that ACORN was under investigation by the Department of Justice.
TX 2004 ACORN turned in the voter registration form of David Young, who told reporters “The signature is not my signature. It’s not even close.” His social security number and date of birth were also incorrect.
VA 2005 In 2005, the Virginia State Board of Elections admonished Project Vote and ACORN for turning in a significant number of faulty voter registrations. An audit revealed that 83% of sampled registrations that were rejected for carrying false or questionable information were submitted by Project Vote. Many of these registrations carried social security numbers that exist for other people, listed non-existent or commercial addresses, or were for convicted felons in violation of state and federal election law.

In a letter to ACORN, the State Board of Elections reported that 56% of the voter registration applications ACORN turned in were ineligible. Further, a full 35% were not submitted in a timely manner, as required by law. The State Board of Elections also commented on what appeared to be evidence of intentional voter fraud. "Additionally,” they wrote, “information appears to have been altered on some applications where information given by the applicant in one color ink has been scratched through and re-entered in another color ink. Any alteration of a voter registration application is a Class 5 Felony in accordance with § 24.2-1009 of the Code of Virginia."
WA 2007 Three ACORN employees pleaded guilty, and four more were charged, in the worst case of voter registration fraud in Washington state history. More than 2,000 fraudulent voter registration cards were submitted by the group during a voter registration drive.
WI 2004 The district attorney’s office investigated seven voter registration applications Project Vote employees filed in the names of people who said the group never contacted them. Former Project Vote employee Robert Marquise Blakely told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that he had not met with any of the people whose voter registration applications he signed, “an apparent violation of state law,” according to the paper.
 

Also, if there is no "Voter Fraud" going on then why does ACORN and other Liberal activist groups always fight picture ID cards being required for Voters? 

Even bills that would make the Picture IDs free have been shot down by Liberal Activist groups.  This isn't just immoral this is just plain illegal. 

Sure the Republicans are guilty of Voter tampering but at least theirs is usally immoral and not illegal.  For instance bussing old people to the voting booths to vote republican.  But at least they are registered voters. 

ACORN and these liberal activist groups are unbelievable.  And sorry when your workers are indicted and convicted of Voter Fraud you can't claim that it doesn't exist.

Of course, it could be that there's no "voter fraud" involved at all.  But that would never occur to you, because you take at face value anything that known liars like Limbaugh, Hannity et al perpetrate.

What's really going on here is people the GOP don't want to vote are getting registered, because they won't vote GOP.  There's no "fraud" here unless "fraud" is code for "the uppity" actually voting.

Sorry SioBabble but ACORN has been convicted in the past of Voter Fraud. 

The Acorn Indictments
A union-backed outfit faces charges of election fraud. Friday, November 3, 2006 12:01 A.M. EST

So, less than a week before the midterm elections, four workers from Acorn, the liberal activist group that has registered millions of voters, have been indicted by a federal grand jury for submitting false voter registration forms to the Kansas City, Missouri, election board. But hey, who needs voter ID laws?

We wish this were an aberration, but allegations of fraud have tainted Acorn voter drives across the country. Acorn workers have been convicted in Wisconsin and Colorado, and investigations are still under way in Ohio, Tennessee and Pennsylvania.

The good news for anyone who cares about voter integrity is that the Justice Department finally seems poised to connect these dots instead of dismissing such revelations as the work of a few yahoos. After the federal indictments were handed up in Kansas City this week, the U.S. Attorney's office said in a statement that "This national investigation is very much ongoing."

Let's hope so. Acorn officials bill themselves as nonpartisan community organizers merely interested in giving a voice to minorities and the poor. In reality, Acorn is a union-backed, multimillion-dollar outfit that uses intimidation and other tactics to push for higher minimum wage mandates and to trash Wal-Mart and other non-union companies.

Operating in at least 38 states (as well as Canada and Mexico), Acorn pushes a highly partisan agenda, and its organizers are best understood as shock troops for the AFL-CIO and even the Democratic Party. As part of the Fannie Mae reform bill, House Democrats pushed an "affordable housing trust fund" designed to use Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac profits to subsidize Acorn, among other groups. A version of this trust fund actually passed the Republican House and will surely be on the agenda again next year.
Acorn and its affiliates have pulled some real stunts in recent years. In Ohio in 2004, a worker for one affiliate was given crack cocaine in exchange for fraudulent registrations that included underage voters, dead voters and pillars of the community named Mary Poppins, Dick Tracy and Jive Turkey. During a Congressional hearing in Ohio in the aftermath of the 2004 election, officials from several counties in the state explained Acorn's practice of dumping thousands of registration forms in their lap on the submission deadline, even though the forms had been collected months earlier.

"You have to wonder what's the point of that, if not to overwhelm the system and get phony registrations on the voter rolls," says Thor Hearne of the American Center for Voting Rights, who also testified at the hearing. "These were Democratic officials saying that they felt their election system in Ohio was under assault by these kinds of efforts to game the system."

Given this history, it's not surprising that Acorn is so hostile to voter identification laws and other efforts to ensure fairness and accuracy at the polls. In Missouri last month, the state Supreme Court held that a photo ID requirement to vote was overly burdensome and a violation of the state constitution. Acorn was behind the original suit challenging the statute, and it has brought similar challenges in several other states, including Ohio.

A recent Pew Research Center survey found that blacks today are almost twice as likely as they were in 2004 to say they have little or no confidence in the voting system. Such a finding would seem like a powerful argument for voter ID laws, which consistently poll well among people of all races and incomes and would increase confidence in the voting process. Of course, voter ID laws would also cut down on fraud, which, judging from the latest indictments, would put a real crimp in Acorn's style.

Seriously McCain and I don't agree on many issues.  Just like Obama and I don't agree on many issues. 

I have never voted against someone before but this election seems to be one where I am actually casting a vote against a candidate instead of voting for a Candidate. 

I honestly and truthfully believe that Obama would be a horrible choice for office.  He has a questionable history, suspect associations, limited experience, and extremist views. 

Why have the Democrats done this to me.  As I have stated many times in the past I am much more of an independent then belonging to any particular party. 

I have voted liberal before (Nader in 2000 and 2004).  I would of voted Third Party if I was old enough before that as well. 

Why did the Democrats have to pick such a horrible candidate and force me to vote for McCain.   I honestly want to write in Ron Paul on my ballot but I am in a battleground state and I really don't want Obama in Office. 

Why couldn't the Dems pick a more moderate candidate?  Someone like Bloomberg as President or VP would of made me feel better about their ticket as it would of done the same for the Republican ticket as well. 

I just don't understand Americans today either.  Too many sheeps and not enough thinkers. 

Example:

Thinkers would know that the economic crisis isn't the fault of the President.  Thinkers are blaming Republicans and Democrats alike.  Thinkers would be rising up and attempting to throw out both parties or at least nominating people with a history of doing things differently then Washington. 

When the Economy went to crap McCain should of considered dropping Palin (due to family issues of course) and picking up an extremely confident financial VP.  Then he could of said "you know what I am great on Foreign Policy and I have a history of Bipartisanship so I know how to fix Washington and my VP has a history of great economic leadership and will fix the economy". 

Personally even though I don't agree with the man on a lot of domestic issues McCain would of been better off getting Bloomberg.  I honestly think if Bloomberg had been the choice (and you can see in my posting history that I was calling for Bloomberg as the choice before he chose Palin)  this would be a landslide in the opposite direction. 

Bloomberg is obviously a much much better choice then anyone else on either ticket to deal with the Economic Crisis.  He has done extremely well as Mayor of NYC and has a high approval rating as well. 

The bonus is that Bloomberg supports the WAR on Terror and finishing the job in Iraq so that wouldn't of been a clash between him and McCain.

Wow, people who conduct voter fraud are pretty dumb.  I understand trying in FL, NM, NV, MO, NC, PA, OH, IN, MI, and WI.  But why would you do it in CT?  CT is going to vote democrat for sure.  They are almost on par with NY and Mass.  as far as Mecca of Liberalism goes.

"ACORN fraud" Is yet another ridiculous lie propagated by inherently dishonest people.

In Nevada, completed voter registration forms are, by law, required to be submitted.  ACORN informed the Nevada Secretary of State weeks ago that they were submitting forms that were potentially in error or not valid, as they said, "unless the Dallas Cowboys have moved to Vegas, these forms aren't kosher".  This is ACORN idenfiying potentially bogus forms that they were requried to submit despite ACORN's own doubts.

Voter fraud has never been a major problem in the United States, unless by "voter fraud" you actually mean that the poor and minority are attempting to excercise their right to vote.

Another delusional sheeple that thinks their party can do no wrong and that Obama is so wonderful. 

The man has ties to ACORN that go way back.  His wife's prior lawfirm represents them in a embezzlement case.  Obama represented them in a lawsuit.  Obama was a director for them. 

Sorry but the guy is coming out to be dirtier then even the average politician which is pretty bad. 

But I wouldn't expect anything but party line rehtoric from you SioBabble.  Obama and the Democrats have you eating out of their hand and it has made you delusional. 

Where are Obama's supporters when it comes to this issue?  He pays this group to register voters and they are conducting massive amounts of Voter Registration fraud. 

This is a huge issue that goes to the root of Obama's Character and yet once again the Media is ignoring it.

 ACORN has singed up 1.5 million new voters in the last week. 1.5 million new voters in SEVEN freaking days. They have found up to 82  registration cards for the same person and they just started the investigation.

And OF COURSE the fraud is being found rampant in the 8 swing states.

 

POS cheaters

Election Fraud: A radical group Barack Obama used to work for is committing voter-registration fraud in several states, ahead of the election. What does Obama know about this scam?

It's a legitimate question to raise now that the FBI has raided the offices of the nonprofit Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now in Nevada and North Carolina, two states where Obama and John McCain are running neck-and-neck. ACORN has registered bogus voters in both states.

The group's voter-registration fraud is rampant, and authorities plan a nationwide sweep of ACORN offices to collect records.

In Nevada, state officials says the fraudulent registrations included forms for the starting lineup of the Dallas Cowboys football team, including quarterback Tony Romo.

"Romo is not registered to vote in the state of Nevada," Secretary of State Ross Miller said, "and anybody trying to pose as Terrell Owens won't be able to cast a ballot on Nov. 4."

While those names will be flagged on Election Day, felonious voters may have better luck using
