I know I should act surprised but why waste the energy? After all the trouble their brethren went to, to deny the newly homeless the right to vote, I just cannot find it within me to even raise an eyebrow. Though do not confuse that with disinterest, because I am infuriated. Fuctard Extravaganza!

CBS Station KCBS reports that the California Republican Party issued a statement calling the arrest "partisan activity undertaken by California Secretary of State Debra Bowen."

So, the person himself plead guilty...but it's "partisan activity"? The partisan activity is what Jacoby did. I mean in the world of reality.

The California Republican Party doesn't think what Jacoby did is "partisan activity", but Debra Brown is engaging in partisan activity! We should let Jacoby commit voter registration fraud! Because NOT letting him do that, is "partisan activity"!

I have come to the conclusion the DLC, the DNC, the DCC have no interest in protecting our right to vote. I see now why Dennis Kucinich was prevented from participating in the debates. The powers that be made sure we have two corporate chills to choose from and the incumbents protect their little club im DC. So much for Obama giving a flying F for "mainstreet" over Wall Street.
I will never vote Democrap again.

yes, obama is really just another lying liar - "yes we can", with hindsight, was just a campaign gimmick.
He found billions for war, banks, auto industry, and has now sold us out on healthcare reform, which the public overwhelmingly supports.
Even worse than his sell out, however, is how some blogs that represented themselves as "progressive/liberal" have sold us out too, giving the dems and the administration a "free pass" on this wholesale fraud.
The usual strategy is to distract by doing nothing but talk about widely disenfranchised repugs and totally ignoring or banning any mention of the fact that meaningful healthcare reform has been effectively neutralized.
Democraydiva, your spot-on - the way we will see real change it to hold BOTH dems and repugs accountable and this does mean voting for neither.

Democrats should go GREEN and self respecting Republicans should go Libertarian. And everyone should fight for the right to get on the ballot for third parties and independents. In a democracy the rules should be the same for all parties. They are not even close. Try running as a third party candidate in any state.

I may be the old woman on this site, but at 51 and politically active for almost 40, I gotta tell you guys that progress doesn't come in the blink of an eye. You need to pay more attention to all those little steps that are taking place with each executive order. Do you have any idea how long women have been fighting for pay equity? What about easing gay rights into the federal bureaucracy, first in the state department under Sec. Clinton and then to others. You need to take into account the fact that our President is a man of strategy. He knows that he can't get everything he wants all at once, but he also knows that every time he chips away another piece of the long-held establishment, progress reveals itself a little bit more. He's been in office for 5 months. Did you imagine that he is Superman or the "Returned Messiah" (gag) and would magically transform everything at once? The last thing that progressives need right now is to dump the closest thing we've had to a leader since...sorry can't think of an appropriate analogy since no other president has been so heavy laden with problems before he could take over. Patience and steadfast work toward our goals will get us what we want, not total reliance on a president who doesn't have and will not claim the powers of a dictator.

How do some of these commentators wind up attacking the democrats? The story is about how the repugs are once again guilt of felony voter fraud. 3 of 10 commentators must be just rove repug lying freak pig plants.
