Just heard on Glenn Beck his friend Pat from (Texas?) mentioned the bailout bill DID have 500 million for ACORN. Can anyone confirm this?

The fact that there’s a trillion dollars out there and up for grabs tells me that ACORN will get some of it one way or another.

I CALL FOR OFFICES NATIONWIDE OF OBAMA's A.C.O.R.N. TO BE "FREEPED"

With signs, bullhorns, press releases, American flags, and everything. These might be in inner cities, folks, so bring your flak jackets. I would be there to organize it if I could. This is an attack on the United States of America and our Constitution.

Be ready for anything, but at all costs, get the TV cameras there.

Yes, but not the bailout you are thinking of.

This past summer a $300 billion housing bailout was passed with a $500 million a year payment to ACORN.

In a broadcase e-mail from Newt on Oct 7, it said that a $300 Billion realestate bailout bill passed _last summer_ contained $500 million/year for ACORN:

“To give you a sense of how failed the current strategy has been, consider this: This summer a $300 billion housing bailout was passed with a $500 million a year payment to a radical, anti-free market group called ACORN and other left-wing organizing groups.”

Then must have needed the money _before_ this fall to fuel the vote fraud!

Heres a transcript of Newt talking about this on NPR:

MR. GINGRICH: Well, the last time we were promised they were going to save us, it was $300 billion; it was a housing bill. And what liberal Democrats in Congress did, for example, was add $500 million a year for a left-wing activist group called Acorn.. Now, I can’t imagine why we’d want the taxpayer to give $500 million a year to a left-wing activist group, but it’s in the bill which the Bush administration signed and that was only back in July and that was going to solve everything. That was $300 billion ago.

THIS IS ABSOLULTELY OUTRAGEOUS!!

And John McCain voted for it, and Pres Bush signed it. Unbelievable--at least it sure helped stabilize the markets too. /s

I am so sick of state documents that ask if I would like to register to vote.

I completed out auto registration online the other day and it asked if I wanted to register to vote.

I did some other stuff with state forms and the same thing.

It is like non-stop in your face about voting.

Of course I am registered to vote.

Amazingly, the Housing Bailout Contained $500 Million for Radical, Anti-Free Market Groups

To give you a sense of how failed the current strategy has been, consider this: This summer a $300 billion housing bailout was passed with a $500 million a year payment to a radical, anti-free market group called ACORN and other left-wing organizing groups.

ACORN is a left-wing, political extortion racket. It's currently busy bussing people to vote early in Ohio and elsewhere - these are your tax dollars at work. You get taxed to send a left-wing group money to use to elect left-wing predatory politicians to raise your taxes to give more money to groups who help them get elected, etc.

It was suicidal for a Republican president to sign that housing bailout bill and any bill that contains funding for groups so radically opposed to the values and interests of the vast majority of Americans.

BTW, Pat is my local morning talk host. Very funny guy. He had Glenn on yesterday morning and he was talking like the sky was falling.

I'd love to see who voted which way on that one.

You have got to be kidding me. Bush signed this? ACORN has been involved in all kinds of fraud allegations for years. This isn’t something we just learned. It was well known last summer also.

Obama and his cronies in ACORN, the DNC, and the MSM are wholly corrupt and intend to steal the election if they cannot win it.

Obama has been directly tied and involved with ACORN, for a long time, and through his instrumentality we are seeing our free market and our voting process subverted and deconstructed before our very eyes.

But there is hope, despite what the push polls are saying, and Obama and his campaign and the MSM all know it, and fear it.






I'M VOTING FOR SARAH

Inquiring minds want to know.

I would also like to see some of these fraudulent canvasers brought into a court and charged with voter fraud. It is a national law not to tamper with elections, isn’t it?
