As they say, birds of a feather flock together, whether they be dodos or vultures. Maybe after Obama is fricasseed on Nov. 6, he can invite Vlad over to the new Obama pad in Hawaii, and they can party hearty, awaiting all those virgins in the stratosphere promised by Mohammed. H/T The Right Scoop

UPDATE: It turns out both Putin and Obama ripped off this high-concept from Women’s Voices. Women Vote, a group that cast itself as non-partisan, but whose board members were all Democratic operatives and whose funding came from the leftist Tides Foundation, underwritten by Teresa Heinz Kerry.

Democrats Caught Cheating

Patrick Moran, son of  U.S. Rep. Jim Moran, D-Va., has resigned as field director for the congressman following release of an undercover video in which the younger Moran entertains a plan to cast fraudulent ballots. A reporter with Project Veritas approached Patrick Moran and proposed casting ballots on behalf of 100 registered voters who weren’t going to go to the polls themselves. Moran initially appears to scoff at the idea, but then discusses ways to pull off the voter fraud, telling the reporter he could use forged utility bills to misrepresent himself and cast all 100 ballots.

Project Veritas, led by anti-ACORN activist James O’Keefe, has released a series of undercover videos this year exposing Democratic Party complicity with voter fraud in at least a half dozen states.

Does Money Corrupt Politics?

Should we worry when money and politics mix? Common wisdom suggests that large campaign contributions can corrupt politicians and disenfranchise regular voters. But Bradley Smith, former chairman of the Federal Elections Commission under President George W. Bush, warns that laws designed to regulate campaign contributions can have unintended consequences, actually making the playing field more advantageous for incumbents and stifling broad participation in the political process.

Smith is currently the Josiah H. Blackmore II/Shirley M. Nault Professor of Law at Capital University Law School in Bexley, Ohio — a suburb of Columbus. Here, he explains the downside to campaign finance reform in a brief talk for LearnLiberty.org
