Akuma, this post is kind of rediculous, and completely misses the point of my OP.
Of course republicans have commited voter fraud, and if John McCain was directly associated with a group that had a history of federal investigations and convictions regarding voter fraud, it would be just as big an issue. That's not the point of my post.
The fact that felons can't vote really has nothing to do with this, not sure why you even wrote that.
Republicans don't have any problem with minorities voting and don't try to scare them out of voting, however, Democrats DO try to scare minorities INTO voting, but that's a different topic.
I'm not saying that no republican has ever been involved in voter fraud, obviously there's corruption on both sides. My point is that Obama being directly involved with a group that has been investigated and had members convicted of voter fraud, and PAID THEM $800,000 to help him get the vote out is not going to sit well with general public. I'm not IN ANY WAY suggesting that Obama was part of, or took part in these practices, nor am I trying to sling mud at him as a person. I was simply analyzing what those facts might do to the public perception of Obama, who was portrayed to be so clean at the onset of this election.
You sound like you just regressed somewhat. Spouting out the old "well, your people have done bad stuff too" line is not really even debating my original point. I've enjoyed your well reasoned arguments up until this post. Spouting off your own list of accusations (of the Bush administration, that wasn't even mentioned in my writeup) without even providing foundation was not exactly your standard, well thought out argument. Please re-read my article, as it was not a smear, but a question about what these facts will do to public perception of a candidate.
