So THAT is what a community organizer does.
Youtube link?
I don’t understand why the McCain campaign has not make a tv ad connecting ACORN to the finacial crisis and Obama’s connection to ACORN.
Funny community organizer! huh interesting.

It appears that McCain has already missed the opportunity to get in front of this thing. Too bad, really.
I guess you could call that a partisan attack and since this issue needs to be about “Country First” I doubt we will see McCain blaming anyone.
When the smoke clears McCain will be the winner in this thing because as long as you set your priorities straight and stick to them 99 percent of the time good guys still finish first.
OBAMA,ACORN,THE BLACK CAUCUS AND FRANKLIN REIN ALL NEED TO BE INVESTIGATED.
I CALL FOR A THOROUGH INVESTIGATION OF ACORN AND ITS ORGINIZERS. HOW DO WE KNOW THIS WAS NOT ALL SET UP SO OBAMA HAS THE ADVANTAGE!!! DIDNT IT START WITH FANNIE?
McCain/Bush and Republicans in general are saying that now is the time to fix the problem, the time to blame comes later. Problem is the Democrats have already started blaming Republicans. They need to do this now because it will take a lot of work on their part and help from to press to fool the public.
Barrack Obama has been HEAVILY involved with ACORN for a LONG time and ACORN is a Communist front organization!
There is a link, but BO is hardly responsible. He wasn’t even in Congress when the truly damaging legislation was passed. While he supports the Socialist goals of the CRA, he was not a player. The culprits are fairly easy to spot: Chris Dodd (Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs), Paul Sarbanes (former chair of Senate Banking Committee), Phil Gramm (former chair of Senate Banking Committee and author of Gramm-Leach-Bliley), Barney Frank (CRA and guilty on multiple other counts of demogoguery), Jimmy Carter (the Squish-head who was President when CRA was enacted), Clinton (who presided over CRA being made even worse than it already was), the idiots at non-think tanks such as New America who argued that the CRA had nothing to do with excesses in the housing market despite mountains of evidence to the contrary, and EVERYONE, every two-bit, ward-heeling, cheesy congressman and senator who did everything they could to block the reining in of Freddie and Fannie (see Barney Frank and Chuck Schumer). I could continue, but you get the point. There is plenty of blame to go around.
THEN, he needs to tell the whole nation that as president he will see to it that those people and policies that caused this mess will be investigated and made to pay the price.
Right now all they are talking about is how they have a bill that they know is not great, and then in the next breath they say they need for us to understand how important it is to pass it. They are saying they did not ‘sell’ it right. For me, that is insulting. I don't want to be sold something I know is not good. They need to get this thing right period
Yesterday the people said no. Some are saying the people are trying to effect revenge on Wall Street and the other Fat Cats. Well, maybe to a degree that is true. We know if we don't try to hold the right people accountable no one else will. McCain needs to tell the people that someone WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. No one is telling us that. No one.
They said the first bailout was not signed due to the calls sent in huge numbers against it....
WE NEED TO MAKE CALLS AND ASK FOR AN INVESTIGATION ON ACORN AND THE OBAMA CONNECTION!
The ironic thing is, were it not for Congressional Democrats trying to sneak into the bailout bill goodies for Acorn, connecting Obama to Acorn would have little effect.
A week ago, Acorn wouldn't have meant anything to the vast majority of Americans. Those who had heard of it would mostly associate it only with leftist get out the vote efforts--slimy but largely minor players in the overall national picture. Thanks to the congressional Black Caucus efforts to pay off their pals and finance their subversive actions on a breathtakingly brazen scale, that's changed. Obama's significant ties to Acorn are now a major, major deal.
I have listened for years to excuses from Republicans that the media hates them and they can't get their message out. "Poor us. We try but those mean Democrats just own the news cycle and we're always on the defensive." Yadda Yadda Yadda.
Frankly, I'm sick to death of their excuses.
If the Republicans care about winning - not just about "being right", because in politics, being right doesn't mean a damn if you don't win - they need to learn how to organize around one idea at a time and relentlessly hammer it home everywhere they can, naming names and not mincing words.
Democrats are not smarter than Republicans, not by a long shot. They just care more about getting elected and staying in office. That is a natural artifact of their ideology: they believe in government; Republicans don't. So to counter this natural advantage, Republicans need to out-work, out-organize, and out-think their opponents.
They've done it before. But more often they seem to avoid the necessities of politics, as though they are farmers who hate to get their hands dirty. Sorry guys, but you can't plant potatoes without getting down in the mud.
On the otherhand Mclaim and Bush too might be complicit in some way.. to go after the bad guys would eventually expose themselves.. But that could ONLY be true IF there were a Shadow Government running Washington D.C... I am still not comfortable with the arch weasle John McLaim weaslling his way into becomeing the republican candidate.. in an almost miraculous way..
I thought I heard that he suspended his campaign - wanted to work accross party lines on somethig or other while the partisan dems are eating his lunch.
