I just read that article as well. The author paints a nice fictitious account of a potential issue based on the Diebold problems of 2007. The issues with those machines were picked up by the election commission! I do agree there is a conflict. But is the Romney family involved
With the operations of the company?

I want to see Romney win. I want to see Some one focus on making money as opposed to spending it. He is not my first choice for POTUS but he is the lesser of two evils and that is where we are in this country.

I do want it to be a fair election however. I don't want anyone to win or lose based on fake acorn votes or tainted voting machines.

I was just posting up something that was more than just a blog about it...it is from Forbes.

Just because it's on the Forbes webstie doesn't make it credible. Did you actually see who wrote the article?

Rick Ungar, Contributor

Writing from the left on politics and policy.


And by the way, it's an op/ed piece. The "op" is short for opinion. So, in short, it's pretty much the same as a blog article.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio
