MSM reports from all over the country about ACORN. Is this ACORN story gathering steam?

Not until ACORN managers get arrested.

This is in reality good news. They now have someone who can roll over on the inner workings of ACORN. If they can get him to testify to a Grand Jury about the Michigan group supporting the filling out of fraudulent voter registration cards, such as providing old phone books or looking the other way when cards are filled out, then they have the beginning of a RICO violation. Couple that with other states in the investigation, this could be the end of “Motor-Voter” in this country. If McCain can make the case about Obama’s 800K donation to ACORN, there might be some voter backlash. Despite what CBS says, I haven’t seen the fat lady step up to the microphone yet.

I’m a Michigan resident living in the CONUS, voting absentee. When will I receive my ballot?

Antonio Johnson is being held in Jackson County on a parole violation. The 23-year-old is accused of falsifying the registration forms between May 20 and June 6 in Jackson.

Is falsifying a voter form a federal crime? Parole violation could mean some time in the slammer. Seems like Mr Johnson might like to chat about a deal. One acorn at a time will eventually fell the tree.

AG Cox is a Republican isn’t he? Surprised he got elected in MI. Anyway, how long will it be before they scream he is the one engaging in a partisan witch hunt?

I hear though that the sec. of state in NV, who also went after these ACORN frauds, is a Democrat! Remarkable.

Exactly. The story makes it sounds like he will cooperate with the AG's office.

That's because they are holding him in a tiger cage for weeks, beating him every few hours and breaking his arms at the shoulders.

... oh I'm solly, that's what Obama's and Acorn's allies did to John McCain. Got confused there. But, yep, friends of the Weathermen nearly killed McCain. Truth up.

This could be remembered as the week the wheels came off the Obama wagon. He is going to have a hard time distancing himself from ACORN, even after his statement tonight in Oregon, OH that he doesn’t need their help. If not, why did he give them 800K for the primary? What changed?

He is also going to have to answer questions about the new reports of credit card fraud where unauthorized charges were made as campaign contributions.

Try as hard as he might, his birth certificate is still an issue that won’t die, Ayers, Wright and Pflager keep shooting their mouths off to his detriment. And of course the Reverend Jackson’s pronouncement of a change in support for Israel may not endear hime to the Jewish voter who may now see the Messiah for what he truly is.

Bottom line, the media can only ignore so much of this for so long. People in this country already think the media is in the tank for Obama, there is going to be a time when the sales department talks to the news division and tells them that the blatent hypocracy is starting to impact the bottom line. Remember, the news division is NOT the money-maker in a corporate tv operation. It is SALES that drive the economic engine.

We are going into the biggest moneymaking time of the year for the media. If they can’t sell inventory (time) they’ll all be looking for work. As long as this doesn’t impact the bottom line, corporate will look the other way. Once it does, Obama could become a footnote in American history.

If McCain does well tomorrow,there could be a change in the dynamic. If other Attorney General’s start to file charges against ACORN, or a FEDERAL case is developed. It could be over.
