| Micheal Moore busted in a public lie - and a crime? |
| 2004-07-01 |
| Dunno if this one has been posted... "I am an Independent," the filmmaker told reporters. "I’m not a member of the Democratic party." Which is not exactly correct. New York City Board of Elections records show that Moore, 50, registered to vote in Gotham in 1992, checking off "Democratic" as his party affiliation (below you’ll find a copy of his original registration form)... Now here’s the good part: Moore is simultaneously registered to vote in Michigan... Imagine if this had been a Wealthy Conservative (As wealthy as Moore) who claimed not to be a Republican - registered in 2 different palces to vote |

| #12 My emphasis was meant to be on his lying about being a Democrat (He is registered as one and voted as one in 2001), and his devious plan to try to influnce votes in swing states by sending out-of-state people there to register to vote. |

| #11 Back in my misspent youth as a Democrat, I was living in London, England, during the 1984 Elections. I recieved two absentee ballots; I completed one and returned it, then tore the other up so as not to get charged with election fraud. Later, as a Democratic registrar, I got paid to go door to door to make sure registered Democrats still lived at their registered addresses. If not, we struck them from the rolls. Coincidentally, Michael Moore has many rolls. |

| #10 He looks like he's a member of the Biscuits N' Gravy Party. |

| #7 Also I've considered myself an Independent from time to time without meaning any association with the acutal Independent party. Its just a way of claiming no allegence to any part (in his case Green or Dem). Moores a pig but this is much ado about nothing. |

| #6 mhw, When I moved to Virginia, I didn't write New Jersey to tell them to cancel my voter registration there. I don't even know how you do it. I just assumed that when I registered in VA that the information would get there somehow. We have other Moore things to worry about. |

| #5 I don't think it is a crime to be double registered. The crime is when you double vote. There is no evidence he double voted. |

| #4 Thing is, even when caught in a lie he doesn't admit it, he just claims it's a Republican plot to discredit him and that it's all made up by Republicans. One has to wonder if this level of reality denial is actually on the level of a mental disorder. |

| #3 I don't know, as much as I hate the fat fuck, this looks like an honest mistake, at least on the two registrations. He's moved his registration to Michigan, and not yet terminated his registration in New York. Since he hasn't voted on either since the Michigan registration, I have to give him the benefit of the doubt. Shame they didn't catch him voting both registrations, though. |

| #2 Moore has long struck me as the type of individual that thinks his country is HIS literally. There is no room for opinions outside his own. People like that no matter what their political persusions find repungnant. And if he is registered to vote in more than one state and votes in each he should be charged with voter fraud. |

| #1 Further"moore"... He is trying to get people to falsely register to vote in "swing" states... On his web site, Moore asks visitors to take his "Pledge of Democratic Allegiance," which calls for them to register ten new voters this summer and spend one October weekend in a swing state. "The important thing is, if you live in a place like New York or Texas, you gotta head over to Pennsylvania or New Mexico," writes Moore, |
