Does your file include the story from Newsday.com, yesterday, by Jennifer Kelleher, about the couple in Huntington, L.I., New York, who showed up at a house and performed a violent home invasion? They gained entry because the man, Benjamin Thomas, wore a stethescope around his neck, and the woman, Natali Desir, had a clipboard and pamphlets, and they announced that they were there to talk about health care. My guess is they were ACORN activists, being paid that $11-15/hour that was being advertised to go house to house and spread the good news.Haven't linked that one yet- I'll go look for it.

Sarah Palin:
"I guess a small-town mayor is sort of like a "community organizer," except that you have actual responsibilities. I might add that in small towns, we don't quite know what to make of a candidate who lavishes praise on working people when they are listening, and then talks about how bitterly they cling to their religion and guns when those people aren't listening."

I’ve posted this before but here we go again ...
Erase ALL voter registration rolls, nationwide. Have EVERYBODY re-register to vote, in person, preferably after showing ID.
The integrity of our voting system is in question and that is intolerable.
The 2010 election is just too important to risk.

Some are born stupid, some are made stupid, yet others have stupidity thrust upon them.That's it! The liberal recipe for stupidity.
