MAN GIVEN CRACK COCAINE TO REGISTER VOTERS ARRESTED IN OHIO
Mon Oct 18 2004 13:26:03 ET

October 18, 2004

The Defiance County Sheriff's Office arrested Chad Staton, age 22, of Stratton Ave., Defiance, on a charge of False Registration, in Violation of Section 3599.11 of the Ohio Revised Code, a felony of the fifth degree.

The SheriffÕs Office alleges that Staton filled out over 100 voter registration forms that were fictitious. Staton was to be paid for each registration form that he could get citizens to fill out. However, Staton himself filled out the registrations and returned them to the woman who hired him from Toledo, Ohio. Deputies allege that Staton was paid crack cocaine for the falsified registrations.

Defiance Deputies along with Toledo Police Department detectives conducted a search warrant of a residence on Woodland in Toledo, believed to be the home of the woman who hired Staton to solicit voter registration. Officers confiscated drug paraphernalia along with voter registration forms from the home. The occupant of the home, Georgianne Pitts, age 41, advised law enforcement, along with Ohio B.C.I.&I., that she had been recruited by Thaddeus J. Jackson, II, of Cleveland, to obtain voter registrations. Pitts admitted to paying Staton crack cocaine for the registrations in lieu of money.

A business card provided by Pitts indicated that Jackson is the Assistant NVF Ohio Director of the NAACP National Voter Fund.

The initial complaint received by the Sheriff's Office came from the Defiance County Board of Elections. The Board had received the 100 plus registration forms from the Cuyahoga Board of Elections that had been submitted to the Cuyahoga Board by the NAACP National Voter Fund.

Just goes to show how badly the Kerry campaign is actually going. It is very pathetic.

Are you suggesting that this is the policy of the DNC?

No, reverse psychology is pathetic.

typical liberal response.
spam, Spam, SPAM!

typical liberal response.
deliberately false quotes are a warnable offense, just so you know. i'm sure you don't want to be breaking forum rules.

for the record, i am a classic liberal (which means i am as different from American liberals as i am from neo-cons), and i believe that this article is irrelevant to the DNC; there are disreputable characters who happen to belong to the Democratic party, just as there are disreputable characters belonging to the GOP, but their existence alone doesn't make those parties disreputable. if the DNC endorsed, condoned, encouraged, or in any way supported this behavior THEN you could say the Democrats are stooping to a new low, but until then i don't think you can rationally make that claim. that would be like me saying that all Catholics are pedophiles based on the fact that a Catholic priest molested a child; the actions of a single member do not generalize to the organization as a whole.

As an outsider to American politics it seems that the parties are as disreputable as each other - politics is big business in America though, so what else could you expect. Your parties are closing in on having spent over 300 million each on the election. Surely anyone that wants power that bad cannot be all good.

It must however be said that Republicans are cut from a much darker shade of cloth than your average Democrat; and that is the rub of course. Democrats are simply not as compromised in both their personal financial dealings and their parties financiers.

Could we get a source?

What? George Soros, Bob Toricelli, Tony Coelho, Dan Rather, Terry McAuliffe, Marc Rich, Arthur Coia.

All of these guys are crooks and liars and part of the DNC machine.

George Soros a crook? The man has donated several billion dollars to the cause of developing democracy in the former Soviet republics. What crimes has Dan Rather committed? Basically, what the hell are you talking about?

On the other hand, we can talk about the largest single donor to Bush's 2000 campaign -- Kenneth Lay.

Too lazy to do it yourself? Never heard of a search engine??

Thanks Bottle! You are too kind. Though 'godlike' may be a bit of an exxageration! How about 'intellect of heroic proportion' Much more modest!

Now be gone puppet.

Now seeing that I'm a pointy headed liberal, I might not be speaking on a level that everyone can understand. However in most research papers you have citations to references that are credible towards the information you're quoting or using from some place else so a teacher or someone reading your report can see it's factual or not. Now, yes, they have to look up the information but when one isn't given citation to a fact given on the paper, it's considered to be an error. It's lazy, yes, but it's the only thing that helps make your paper credible. While the net is MUCH more casual, I would think basic rules on giving information apply.

Agreed w/the first part. Second part - lately that sure seems to be the case.

Damn, Damn, Damn, I cant believe we got caught!Yeap, the campaign is hitting an all time low!

I believe the point you missed entirely is that it's pretty irrelevant to the candidate who supports him. He wasn't asking for a citation, he was pointing out that it doesn't matter, and he's right - a good number of murderous bigots love Bush. (You'd do well to drop the guilt-by-association drivel.)

Neagative there dimwit. He was asking for proof! Only fitting for an obtuse remark from one like youself! I do believe you missed the point, like the wind rushing through ones hair!

Ugh, you are a tiresome little thing. He said, "And the KKK supports Bush. [What is your] Point?" Were he asking for proof, that would have ended with, "[Where is your/Do you have a] Source?" Pretty obvious, really...or, is his argument just too scary for you to face? Poor little n00b...there, there.

No I wasn't.

I was pointing out that idiots support both candidates.

Stop assuming you know what I mean-you don't.

Anbar hit it right on topic there.

No I wasn't.

I was pointing out that idiots support the democratic candidate.

Stop assuming you know what I mean- even thou you do!

Anbar missed the topic, but that's ok.It's all right, and I just gave you some more proof.
What an imbecile

It's all right, and I just gave you some more proof.

I didn't ask for proof.

And wow, that color change sure got me! Oh man, didn't notice that at all!

Wait, you didn't comment on...DUCK!

**goes down as the point zings Asss' head**

Soros Sounds pretty shady to me. He has cost the UK tax payers at least 2 Billion US in currency derivative speculation. This man has never made a product or offered any services to the general public.

"Soros speculates on the world's financial markets via his secret off-shore company, "Quantum Fund NV", a private "investment fund" that handles a portfolio of 4 to 7 Billion US$ for several "clients". The Quantum Fund is registered in the tax haven of the Netherland Antilles in the Caribbean. In order to evade control of his financial activities by the U.S. administration not a single U.S. citizen sits on the board of Quantum. It's directors are a curious mixture of Swiss and Italian financiers... "

Dan Rather and Tony Coelho agreed to published the forged memorandum on Bush's National Guard service record.

The amazing thing about liberals is their inability to look at the world objectively. Everything is filtered through a lib-spin zone.

And the KKK support Bush. Point?


I think their point is that the NAACP has thrown their support to Kerry. Please show any viable news source that says the KKK backs Bush. I'm sure there are a number of wack jobs out there that fit the KKK's agenda better than Bush.

It's a sad day when people are bribed to vote for a given candidate. If I'm not wrong isn't it a federal offense to buy votes? I hope the people who did this, if true, enjoy their stay in the prison system!

typical liberal response.

And you're a right-wing idiot. There's no proof in there that the activity was sanctioned by the NAACP, let alone the Democratic Party. Now, if they find several dozen people in this state doing the same thing, that'd be different.

.....SNIP......

Speaking of going to new lows, that is an incredulous allegation that you are making.

BTW, this is how you spell dastardly.

"JOegOd" - typical "conservative" grossly disproportionate self-esteem.

Isn't the proper term 'jingoistic'? That he is being a 'jingoist'?

Please show any viable news source that says the KKK backs Bush.

You decide from this who they support DIRECT FROM THE KKK WEBSITE (Gawd, its a piece of crap too: http://www.kkk.bz/index1.htm )

Daschle to try and Block Ban on Embryo Farms

Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle has been accused of blocking President Bush's judicial nominees and killing the President's economic stimulus bill. Now Doug Johnson of National Right to Life says the North Dakota Democrat is doing the same to pro-life issues. He says the Senator's "obstructionism" is evident on the most significant pro-life
issue to face Congress: the issue of whether human embryo farms will be permitted to start up in the U.S. He says it also appears Daschle will be doing his best to "rig the game" to kill the ban on human cloning. Johnson says Daschle has managed to thwart several pro-life issues in the past year, and will continue to do so unless pressure is brought against him."

One Key Reason for the Strong Support of the War on Terrorism

A political commentator and columnist says there is one key reason for the strong public support for President Bush and the war on terrorism. Dick Morris writes in The New York Post that the reason is women. He says in the past military engagements, women have been 10-20 percentage points less likely than men to back the use of force. But a Fox News/Opinion Dynamics poll shows that 90% of both men and women back the current war on terrorism. In a survey he conducted on Vote.com, Morris found that the reason September 11 has had such an impact on women likely relates to the heightened sense of endangerment and vulnerability they feel in the aftermath of the attacks. He says from women?s perspective, the war on terrorism is being waged much more for self-defense than for the usual geopolitical reasons. He believes with women firmly behind his plans for
continued military action, President Bush should see no erosion in the strong level of domestic political support for the war.

National Director of The Knights likewise agrees with the sentiment. "Women were very instrumental during the American Revolution in enlarging community support for the war - encouraging their husbands and sons to take up arms to defend this great land.. After all, their homes and children were under direct threat. White racialist women were very opposed to WWI and WWII and generated so much support that many were locked up and silenced. They knew that their sons would be the ultimate victims in international propaganda wars. Again, during Korea and the Vietnam War the sons of America were slaughtered, not to protect America, but to protect international interests. What an ordeal our great veterans have been through. But, this time it is different. American soil has been attacked and this war is justified. America's founding fathers made it clear that to engage in international wars or disputes would be detrimental to American life. The only truly justifiable war is one in which we are defending the American nation or it's citizens from direct threat or harm."

There are over 100 vacant federal judgeships. Who will get them and why should we care?

Democrats in the Senate have failed to schedule confirmations of almost all of President Bush's 130 nominees to the federal bench. That has angry Republicans suggesting Bush make appointments while Congress is not in session, thereby circumventing the Senate confirmation process. But Tim Jipping of the Judicial Selection Monitoring Project does not expect Bush to make recess appointments, especially of judges. He says it is not a
good thing, for example, to ask lawyers who have a well-established practice to uproot at the possibility of only being able to serve as a federal judge for a short time, which is what recess appointments do. Jipping says the Constitution envisions the use of recess appointments only in real emergencies, not because of political wrangling.

The Knights' Nat'l Director Thomas Robb, points out that continuing to delay the appointment of judges may cause a last-minute rushed process with liberal special interest judges getting the majority of the federal seats. "I don't think the general public understands how important the selection of federal judges is. They will decide the Constitutionality of hundreds of laws around the nation such as whether a Christian will be forced to rent to homosexual couples or hire them in their businesses. They will decide issues such as parental consent for a minor child wanting an abortion and tuition aid for illegal immigrants. Federal judges have a very very important job and we need the best we can get under current circumstances. We are bound not to support everyone that Bush has selected, but I think his candidates for the job will be more likely to support the rights and concerns of Christians and indeed general privacy for everyone than those on the Democratic wish list."

As an add on to the whole KKK and GOP thing:

There is no way the GOP actually supports the KKK. They are the freaking KKK! Even if they fancied courting the KKK for some bizarre reason, 90% of the GOP's base would jump ship in a flash. Best not for the GOP to even mention them and its not exactly fair for the news media to even mention this either.

As a result, the KKK site itself is about the only place you'll find this info.

When I see the current GOP platform/rhetoric and the KKK's beliefs overlapping so very well it sends chills up my backbone.

But like I said, decide for yourself.

Now seeing that I'm a pointy headed liberal, I might not be speaking on a level that everyone can understand. However in most research papers you have citations to references that are credible towards the information you're quoting or using from some place else so a teacher or someone reading your report can see it's factual or not.

Well, Eggbert, last I checked this was a thread on current events, not a research disertation. You really ought not expect fellows on this forum to deliver your news. Not only is it available online, but you can get it on TV, radio and even in a rolled bundle on your doorstep each day. Now get in touch and quit expecting everyone else to keep you informed.

I am leader of the Pirate Party. We are like Democrats, and we are like Republicans. Pirates loot and plunder just like the two other parties, only we are honest about what we do. So I set my loot rate to 19% and plunder what resources we have to grow our economy.

I am qualified for US President, I am old enough, and while I didn't get any endorsements, if elected I will run. You'll just have to write me in, the name is Orion Blastar, star not ster, Orion Blaster is one of my evil clones that got loose, don't listen to anything he says. I am the only, the one true, the legend, the Dread Pirate Orion Blastar! :)

SADLY, not a thing of that is illegal, thus the people involved cant be crooks

No, but insider trading is. And he has been convicted of that.

Ah good, another mindless partisan thread! :D

I like the "Dasterdly Democrats", spelling aside. :p

Now...where were we...oh yes, Republicans shredding Democrat voter registration cards! Oh wait, wrong thread...
