For which party?
A 60 day sentence is grossly inadequate for the crime. Could we hope the judge will ignore the recommendation and impose something more appropriate? (Probably not.)
Probably woulda been more prompt if ACORN woulda paid him in cocaine.
If they don't mention the party, that usually means its the Democrats
Shouldn't they mention that ACORN is a democratic group?
It's only ever omitted from articles if it's a Dem who did it.
Same thing happened when I worked on the 1980 US Census as a teenager. Canvassers were hired to scour neighborhoods, helping residents fill out census forms. The canvassers were paid, IIRC, $0.50 and $1.50 for each short and long form filled out respectively.
After the canvassing was done and the canvassers paid and long gone, thousands of duplicate forms were found. They all had to be weeded out by hand, adding to the expense.
Since it was an AP release and did not identify the party, it must have been a Democrat scam. If the young schmuck had been doing illegal Republican registrations, it would have been in the New York Times, Sunday Edition, above the fold.
Must be Democrat since the article never mentioned.
If it had been Republicans, you would have seen that mentioned at least 3 times in this article. Since it was ACORN (Dems), no mention of party.
I couldn't agree more. In fact, shouldn't this be a bigger story than it is? Unfortunately, few will happen to 'stumble' across it.
On the other hand, if it was 'pubbie fraud cBS evening news would be all over it.
This info is suspiciously absent. Of course if it was GOP fraud it would have been in the title of the article, on page 1, above the fold...
ACORN = Liberal DEMOCRAT (racist) extremists!
How convenient.
No repurcusions to ACORN.
Scam organizations like ACORN factor in percentages. Factor the risk for small % of their 'hired' people will get busted. This leaves a large % WON'T. It's an inexpensive way to forward the cause by fraudulently registering 'democrats' and ultimately 'votes' for their side.
Light sentencing for the perp and, no skin off their (ACORN) nose.
ACORN is mentioned - pure Dem...
Since this is an AP story and the party is not named we must assume it is democrats.
ACORN = black communist party
