About effing time. Acorn needs to be neutered. If it takes a bunch lawsuits, so be it. (Soros’ money can be spent fighting them and that’s one dollar less of his that goes towards taking over the country)

No. They’re just trying to make sure that ACORN doesn’t keep them from getting reelected; however, they won’t be going back to conservatism anytime soon.

The US doesn’t have a democracy, it has a Republic. Republic is a nation ruled by laws, Democracy is a nation ruled by the mob. I suspect you ment to say protect the Republic, but this is a point I’m getting sick of seeing, Democracy is bad, Republic’s are good.

It’s looking more like a democracy headed by an oligarchy these days.

Exactly - the time to go after these communist b*st*rds was in 2000. Better late than never, I suppose. But ACORN brought at least 3 states to Obama that he would not otherwise have won - Ohio, North Carolina, and Indiana.

Presidents and Politicians always refer to this country as a democracy.

Say something erroneous enough times and it is accepted as fact.

"...Republicans have renewed their outrage over ACORN after the group signed on as one of hundreds of groups ready to help when the U.S. Census kicks off in about a year..."

As a former Census worker, I can say that Census results can effortlessly be skewed.

ACORN should be barred from the US Census.

Sorry for the double comment, it should be a Republic but its been an Oligarchy for some time, is what I ment to put in my previous comment.

No problem on the double.

The schools have been emphasizing that we are a “democracy” for a long time, even though it is “republic” that we recite in the Pledge.

Yup, there has been a concentration of power in a relative few for quite a while. When these intellectually dishonest people create policy that is contrary to what the majority of their constituents say, it is a problem.

Going against public sentiment by passing the original bailout bill, and failing to crack down on the border and illegal imms comes to mind.

Levenson said his group is accepting no compensation for their association with the census, which he said includes using and distributing Census Bureau-supplied educational material, putting information on ACORN's website and sponsoring community events to raise awareness.

Ahem, Mr. Levenson, but what was the billions you just received from the so caled Stimulus Bill? Talk about chutzpah.

And now, I gather, ACORN is being recruited to handle census field work.
