Governor Charlie Crist of Florida may not have directly attacked John McCain, but he certainly painted a broad stroke across many Republicans who have tried to over-hype ACORN as the creator of a voter fraud nightmare. John McCain has spent millions in ads and plenty of precious time to attack Obama for ACORN's terrible activities meant to register voters. Too bad for John, his main man in Florida tore the talking point to shreds yesterday.
From The Miami Herald:
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Florida's governor says his fellow Republicans may be exaggerating claims of voter fraud in the state.Gov. Charlie Crist said Wednesday that he has confidence in Secretary of State Kurt Browning, who says there's only been a scattering of isolated incidents.
Crist said in the closing days of any campaign "there are some who sort of enjoy chaos." There may be more of that going on than fraud, he said.
Oh John McCain enjoys chaos alright, his face said it quite clearly last night during the debate. Since he clearly loses on the issues, he is doing whatever it takes to distract the country from what truly matters. The problem with his ACORN-ranting is that his claims are unfounded. Just because some people turn in fraudulent voter registration cards doesn't mean that people can vote more than once. There are mechanisms in place to prevent that and no GOP henchman has yet to prove that there has been one case of voter fraud due to this. Of course, lying about everything and anything is John's style, so no one should expect anything different.
