Heard Beck on Fox this morn. I believe I heard him say when they asked if more stings were going to come out that next it will be from the west coast. Hopefully they don’t wait too long..keep it on the burners!

Can't help but wonder if those seven will be wanting a blindfold and a cigarette when they stand before the voters in the next election.

IMHO, we should be compiling a "Up against the wall" list for the next election -- and these scamsters should head off that list -- along with Nanzi Pelousy and "Dingy Harry" Reid...

That will hurt Casey big time in the next election cycle. He’s up in 2012. That’ll mean PA goes GOP, I’d bet. ACORN is bad news and the stink will not wash off by then.

This “baby boomer” is staggered by the bias of the “three Wise Monkeys” media support of all these unqualified crooks and deceivers.

I called and left a msg demading an explanation from Casey, and told them I would continue calling each day until I received one.

(in truth, there really is NO explanation for that vote, but I want to hear his “logic”, for lack of a better word)

Folks ? have you listen to the new propaganda now ? ... Hmmm ? I wonder if this is a coincidence ? ....
I just head a news report with a man with a very cheery voice saying that it looks like the economy is looking up....
I guess they are going to fool the people now that Obama's policies are working and the economy is humming now....

A PA video of ACORN promoting child prostitution would be nice to tie to Casey’s vote here.

Sounds like you know the system well. I even mailed him a polite letter and all I got in return was a form reply which didn't even address the issues raised in the letter. I suspect he has had a prefrontal lobotomy and been refitted with a piece of ObaMao's grey matter.

But who could tell?
