If someone offered you $1,000,000.00 to alter some votes

... and you were in a position to deliver

They are pulling out ALL the stops. We are seeing more and more people busted over the last few days, even in my own state of Oregon http://www.bradblog.com/?p=9687

I have a hunch that by Monday we will see the number of similar stories grow dramatically. So what do you think is making so many take such a HUGE risk? My opinion, $$$$$$$$$$ we do know they have unimagionable resources, I wouldn't be surprised if some the bribery moneys were at one time sitting on a dock in Irag, the misplaced pallets of Millions, and Bush just shrugged his shoulders, wasn't that something like $80,000,000.00?

in the long run. When President Obama wins we will be able to shut the religious right down by saying see god picked Obama. So stop calling him the devil.

There will be a few who won't but i can assure you democrat/republican/independent/green party/dog/cat everyone will take the money if they can be assured they won't be caught and face any consequences.

Just part of human nature.

The reason not everyone does IS the fear of getting caught. Republicans are more likely to take the risk since they have a more buddy-buddy thing going to keep hush about criminial doings.

Just being honest

I wish I would have seen more answers like that one I also would emphatically say NO! I am not a rich man, family of 4, we own older cars and we are upside down on our mortgage, often we are out of money by the end of the month and we have 10s of thousands in credit card debt, but we are climbing out slowly and we are happy.

plus the people they choose seem to believe it's just a big joke. Kathy Nicholus in Wisconsin giggled all the way through her disciplinary hearing. I guess if I were just getting disciplined instead of arrested I'd giggle too. But what I'm saying is they convince these people that it's just a bit of dirty tricks and not illegal.

Do it for God. In fact they donate their own miserable crumbs to the coffers while cheating for Jesus.
