If this is true, its a blow to the Dim o craps. But watch for a reuniting before next year and the counting.

They still must be defunded of taxpayer money, but a good start if true. I'll believe it when I see it, though.

The left is so riddled with corruption all we need to do is shine the light on it.

WHY was ACORN EVER considered to be invoved in taking the Constitutionaly mandated Census! At least their criminality has lost them that one job. But the TRILLIONS of dollars handed to RAT constituencies in the last few months will be a HUGE campaign warchest in 2010. Probably insurmountable.

The roaches definitely scatter when someone shines a light in their direction, or more accurately, the Obama folks sweep them under then rug whenever someone shines a light on them. Van Jones and ACORN just recently and others further back. Also known as throwing them under the bus.

But the real goal should be to defund that criminal enterprise, if there is any way to accomplish it in the foreseeable future.

Kudos to Glen Beck for breaking the story last week. He said people will go to jail over this.

If the republicans were smart, they would have a core group of them on some committee that has power to, to demand full detailed legal investigations of the ACORN group, extremely thorough, get the federal justice departments in all 50 states involved, ask each state to get their attorney generals involved in the detailed investigation of widespread corruption, vote fraud, etc and jsut start hammering on this immediately nad not go away.

We need to start hitting the dems on a whole bunch of issues right now to really keep them confused and reeling.

God the RNC and our leadership is so neutered and stupid. Why is it the grassroots people are the only ones who have a fight till you win strategy? Our own elected guys wont’ fight.

We should have had EVERY DAMN REPUBLICAN standing up with Joe Wilson shouting “YOU LIE!” at Obama. Every damn one. The guy just got done calling them liars for exposing the bill, got done calling all the groups like Heritage Foundation and Liberty Counsel liars, all the townhall individual citizens ‘astroturf’ and liars, then starts lying to their faces and all watching, and only ONE FORKIN’ GUY stands up and calls him what he is.

And I sure hope to hell that Wilson made it clear that the apology was for the outburst and NOT that he called him a liar. Because Obama is a liar. I’d say it to his face if I could.

But damn, we have no nuts left on anyone in this party. Where’s the outrage at being called liars. And obstructionist. The Republicans can’t obstruct ANYTHING!!! Pelosi made sure of that in the House rule changes, plus they don’t have the numbers to prevent anything passing. It’s such a sham. Such hypocrites. I really have to barf at this crap being shoveled by Obama and Pelosi and Reid.

While I agree with you about the lying, if the “Long Legged Mack Daddy the Zebra” felt that they were becoming a burden to HIM he would not think twice about throwing them under the bus.
