The man appointed by Pennsylvania Governor Edward G. Rendell to oversee the security and fairness of Pennsylvania elections has been discovered to be an ally of ACORN. Rendell, a Democrat, is a leading Obama supporter.
On March 31, 2005, Secretary of the Commonwealth Pedro Cortés heaped praise on the controversial left-wing activist group that is now being investigated for voter fraud in a dozen states, including Pennsylvania.
Said Cortés, directly addressing ACORN representatives at a meeting of the Pennsylvania Reform Task Force:
"And thank you kindly on behalf of the Department and on behalf of the Administration for all of the good work that ACORN, as well as Project Vote, has conducted through the years, particularly ACORN. I work very closely with some of your members on a national level, and appreciate your dedication and commitment to enfranchising all of the eligible voters."
Cortés and ACORN are now the subject of a lawsuit filed last week in Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court by Pennsylvania Republican State Chairman Robert Gleason. The suit alleges that ACORN has committed voter fraud in the counties of Philadelphia, Allegheny, Dauphin (Harrisburg) and Delaware (suburban Philadelphia.) At the announcement of the filing Gleason said bluntly that "we don't believe that we can trust the results of this election." The United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania is investigating the fraud allegations against ACORN in Southeastern Pennsylvania, which include charges involving 40,000 new voter registrations, of which 85,000 are in Philadelphia. Other investigations have been launched by local district attorneys in both Central and Western Pennsylvania.

No problem...... anything goes.
ACORN built a shadow and subversive government right underneath the ever-watchful eyes of our elected GOP representatives that took them years to do it and no one saw them until it was too late. Cool?
Yeah, but ACORN is “non-partisan.”
;-)
That’s not good news.
I wonder how bad it is going to have to get before the election can be officially rendered invalid?
Who would do that?
Isn’t it an executive branch responsibility?
He's enriched the people in his clique.
He's funneled money to ACORN, Rezko, Rev. Wright, and Ayers.
All of them have acted in ways that contrary to our country's best interests.
We need reform, now
Rendell is actually a Clinton man to the core, and really has no use for Obama, who in turn has no use for Rendell.
So Rendell is a PUMA?
Yep. He’s tied to the Clinton’s through his wife, who I believe is a Clinton appointed federal judge. Folks need to remember that the Democrat Party is not monolithic, and that there are internal tensions there that threaten to blow it wide apart, just like in the GOP. The PUMAs are a good example, and there are a LOT of them. If the Democrats actually had their act together, then Obama would be ahead of McCain by at least 20%. But they don’t, and the Chosen One finds himself running neck and neck with the old man, despite hundreds of millions of campaign dollars (from shady sources, probably foreign) and an enormous, thuggish, street-level operation.
That’s very good, IMHO the Pumas are likely to be the difference that will put McPalin in the WH.
One thing missed by the “Hail-the-PUMA” crowd is that their titular leader endorses Obama.
Yeah, but it’s a forced endorsement, with barely concealed disgust, especially from the “willie” end of that partnership.
