Right On The Right

Barack Obama is a typical liberal Democrat, and he's more than willing to employ the same dirty tricks, and employ (literally) the same foul players on the political scene. Gateway Pundit has a post up which talks about one dirty player in particular, Patrick Gaspard, a man who recently worked for an SEIU affiliate in New York. What's interesting is what Gaspard did in 2004:

The Kerry effort will be aided by America Coming Together, an independent group working to get out the Democratic vote. The group plans to stage marches before Election Day to polling stations that open early in key states to put ‘peer and community pressure’ on low-propensity voters, said Patrick Gaspard, the group's national field director.

America Coming Together, or ACT, was fined over $700,000 for illegal fundraising, but they did much more. They hired felons to canvass neighborhoods in several states, including here in Ohio. As pointed out at GP, several of them even ended up going back to jail following the 2004 cycle. To top it all off, the slime was knee-deep in Ohio:

The Ohio Republican Party sued in Marion County just before its county courthouse doors closed at 4:30 p.m., asking for a restraining order against state and county Democrats and the political group America Coming Together. The suit claimed they were peppering the Republican strongholds of Marion and Greene counties with misleading taped phone messages. Republican attorney Mark Weaver said several dozen GOP voters complained to party headquarters that the messages directed them to an improper polling place or told them, incorrectly, that they needed to bring identification or a utility bill to the polls.

I hope that this isn't the change we're supposed to be waiting for, because it's nothing new. It's old political tricks, by an old ultra-liberal machine, with old policies, old tactics, and an old hatred for the will of the American people. Isn't it time for Barack to drop the "hope and change" mantra when he's engaging in the same old dirty politics?
