"Early in 2007, just as her husband launched his presidential bid, Cindy McCain decided to resolve an old problem -- the lack of cellular telephone coverage on her remote 15-acre ranch near Sedona, nestled deep in a tree-lined canyon called Hidden Valley.
By the time Sen. John McCain's presidential bid was in full swing this summer, the ranch had wireless coverage from the two cellular companies most often used by campaign staff -- Verizon Wireless and AT&T.
Verizon delivered a portable tower know as a "cell site on wheels" -- free of charge -- to Cindy McCain's property in June in response to an online request from Cindy McCain's staff early last year. Such devices are usually reserved for restoring service when cell coverage is knocked out during emergencies, such as hurricanes.
After a request from Cindy McCain, Verizon Wireless proposed installing a cell tower close to the couple's home near Sedona, Ariz.
In July, AT&T followed suit, wheeling in a portable tower for free to match Verizon's offer. 'This is an unusual situation,' said AT&T spokeswoman Claudia B. Jones. 'You can't have a presidential nominee in an area where there is not cell coverage.'"
...
"Ethics lawyers said Cindy McCain's dealings with the wireless companies stand out because Sen. John McCain is a senior member of the Senate Commerce Committee, which oversees the Federal Communications Commission and the telecommunications industry. He has been a leading advocate for industry-backed legislation, fighting regulations and taxes on telecommunications services.
McCain and his campaign have close ties to Verizon and AT&T. Five campaign officials, including campaign manager Rick Davis, have worked as lobbyists for Verizon. Former McCain staffer Robert Fisher is an in-house lobbyist for Verizon and is volunteering for the campaign. Fisher, Verizon chief executive Ivan Seidenberg and company lobbyists have raised more than $1.3 million for McCain's presidential campaign and Verizon employees are among the top 20 corporate donors over McCain's political career, giving more than $155,000 to his campaigns.
McCain's Senate chief of staff Mark Buse, senior strategist Charles R. Black Jr., and several other campaign staffers have registered as AT&T lobbyists in the past. AT&T Executive Vice President Timothy McKone and AT&T lobbyists have raised more than $2.3 million for McCain. AT&T employees have donated more than $325,000 to McCain campaigns, putting the company in the No. 3 spot for career donations to McCain, according to the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics."

Just got home aqnd been watching Chris Matthews talk about the debate.....Pretty much what I expected. The one thing that really stood out was McCain talking about abortion and making fun of women using "Health" issues as an excuse to have an abortion....Yep! All women lie about that. None of them have any health issues!:rolleyes:
Oh yeah! He really scored points with female voters with that statement!:D
So why did Obama lie about his relationship with ACORN?
How many times do I have to tell you: He's a lying MFer! Us like the rest of us ordinary people.
Oh, we all see he lied about his relationship with ACORN.
The question is WHY did he lie?
Yawn....
Beat that horse 1bad, I think it could get deader.
Obama seems to be pulling away in the polls...
they are politicians... they both lie. They lie all the time, about everything. They both are about as dumb as a second grader. They BOTH are being payed off by large corp. They both have just about the dumbest policies, and worship the same religion... bull****.
If someone would actually look at what they say, read their websites, and think about the effects of their great "policies".. you might loose all hope in the great idea of democracy. :rolleyes:
"Evidence points to ACORN's sloppiness, but not fraud
By GREG GORDON
McClatchy Newspapers"
"The mounting evidence of ACORN's sloppy management and poor supervision, however, so far doesn't support the explosive charges that the group is trying to rig the presidential election."

Cracking the ACORN Case
"ACORN Is Trying to Steal the Election. This is not even remotely true."
...
"Because people are confusing voter fraud (a dangerous offense) with voter registration fraud (a petty crime). ACORN stands accused of the latter. "
...
"Obama is Trying to Steal the Election: Back to the transitive property. If Obama has ties to ACORN but ACORN ISN'T trying to steal the election, how could Obama possibly be cheating?"
http://www.blog.newsweek.com/blogs/s...corn-case.aspx
"The key distinction here is between voter fraud and voter registration fraud, one of which is truly dangerous, the other a petty crime.
The former would be, say, voting the cemeteries or stuffing the ballot boxes. This has happened occasionally in American history, though I can think of recent instances only in rare local races. Practically speaking, this can most easily be done by whoever is actually administering the election, which is why partisan observers carefully oversee the vote-counting process.
The latter is putting the names of fake voters on the rolls, something that happens primarily when organizations, like Acorn, pay contractors for new voter registrations. That can be a crime, and it messes up the voter files, but there's virtually no evidence these imaginary people then vote in November. The current stories about Acorn don't even allege a plan to affect the November vote."

"Voter fraud called a minor issue for November"
"But election experts say the chances for significant voter fraud in November are slim. Most of the false or duplicate names - such as "Mickey Mouse" and the starting lineup of the Dallas Cowboys - are already being struck from voter rolls by election boards. Election experts say that while there have been isolated cases of voter fraud in recent history, it's virtually impossible to pull off large-scale voter fraud without being discovered.
'Is it going to cause headaches for election officials? Yes,' said Richard L. Hasen, a professor at Loyola Law School and a specialist in election law. 'Are they going to have duplicate or false names in their registration databases? Yes. Is it going to change the election outcome? No. ... Duplicate registrations don't lead to fraudulent votes being cast. You don't get Joe Montana voting 400 times even if he's registered 400 times in San Francisco.'"
