SEEDY ACORN
Re: Jeffrey Lord's Stealing Pennsylvania: "Massive Fraud":

This reeks of third world politics! The massive voter fraud mentioned in this article is just one more indication that the Democrats will do anything required in order to win this election.
-- C. Knight

The instances of voter fraud in the state of Pennsylvania are being repeated across the country. In my state of Ohio, there are over 600,000 "new" voters -- registered and voted the same day without verification -- whose votes were intentionally mixed with legitimate votes even though lawmakers tried to stop it.

Can we not delay the election until this is straightened out?

What does the acronym ACORN stand for? No where in the article is it enumerated.

-- Mel Babb

t; Jeffrey Lord replies:
ACORN is the acronym for Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now.

COWARDLY NEW WORLD
Re: Daniel Allott's Intolerance for Imperfection:

I found "Intolerance for Imperfection" by Daniel Allot potentially terrifying. What frightens me more than the already-existent indifference of parents to their "less-than-perfect" offspring is what the future may hold. When the government has a financial stake in the prevention of the existence of a cost-prohibitive entity (ObamaCare), government accountants will determine if potential expenditures outweigh any anticipated added benefit to society. If so, the burden MUST therefore be terminated.

I can hardly wait. Margaret Sanger's shade must be giddy with anticipation.

CLEAN AYERS ACT
Re: Patrick O'Hannigan's Why Ayers Still Matters:

One of the most incomprehensible and infuriating aspects of Mr. McCain's campaign is its seemingly deliberate refusal to address the issues so neatly laid out by Mr. O'Hannigan in this piece, as well as countless others across the New Media spectrum. McCain's trainers and handlers surely know that the MSM will do whatever it takes to bury or whitewash these facts (they are NOT "allegations"). Hence, Mr. Ayers' preferred MSM appellation as an "education reformer."

Questions regarding a candidate's character and judgment should supersede all other concerns. Mr. Obama's practiced lack of candor, and downright lies, regarding his background and life experience should raise red flags from sea to shining sea.
