McCain just can't stop himself

From the Oxdown Gazette comes a little look into John McCain's Clean Election and Voter Fraud Committee. I think you can tell where this is going just from the name. This, of course, is the committee he formed because he's pissed off ACORN is legally required to turn in all applications it receives, even if they are fraudulent, and is seriously concerned with the fact that someone might turn up to vote as Mickey Mouse. He's really concerned about voter fraud, even though actual voter fraud is nearly non-existent....and this with a Karl Rove led effort to push this hard in the Justice Department (which had a large part to play in that whole attorney firing scandal)

Turns out five of it's members are involved in.....Republican voter supression efforts. Go to Oxdown for the full rundown.

• Tom Davis, who has a history of openly discussing and engaging in voter suppression techniques
• Cameron Quinn, who was a director of the Republican voter suppression front group, the American Center for Voting Rights.
• California Secretary of State Bill Jones, who has long fought for ways to make it more difficult for people to vote.
• Susan Molinari who cried wolf about voter fraud in 2004 and 2006, only to find her allegations proven false.
• Larry D. Thompson ho hired Bradley Schlozman to work in the Justice Department where he approved Tom Delay’s redistricting plan, GA’s modern “Jim Crow Law” and pursued politicized indictments against ACORN in MO.

Isn't that just like McCain, he throws a big stink about the kind of voter fraud that almost never occurs while hiring a collection of operatives who regularly engage in the kind of voter suppression that does have large effects of voting and disenfranchises legal voters. It's almost like he willfully makes the most hypocritical choices he can. He reminds me of Abe Simpson in the Curse of the Flying Hellfish episode

Burns: Oh, Simpson, can't you go five seconds without humiliating
yourself?
[Abe's pants go down with a "boing"]
Abe: How long was that?
