Most of us would be relieved that college students would only be voting no more than twice since the ACORN "Fifth Column" is busy suppling absentee ballots from homeless, ficticious and illegals that won't be able to be verified in time from their envelope opennings which then count as valid votes.

If ever an election will go down as having been stolen it will be the 2008 presidential elections.

Having lost elections in the past even with the help of Holliwood, all major television news organizations and the written press they are pulling out all the stoppers this year to put an absolute stooge in the White House who has never accomplished anything nor run any kind of exectutive office. Yikes! and hang on to your wallet.report abuse

I'm with Laurel, except for one thing: can Colby students from out of state register to vote in Maine? If so, that's wrong...they should vote absentee in their home states. What business do they have in helping decide political races that affect Maine citizens?report abuse

some baraka HUSSIEN obama facts:

baraka HUSSIEN obama will collect a 45% tax on estates!

Now how are ya gonna like that when you die and pass on your estate and baraka HUSSIEN obama gets 45% of it?!!!

But dont worry, some uneployed bum will thank you once your wealth is redistributedreport abuse
