ACORN office tries to regain its footing

There’s a whale of a lot of “imperfection” in that system, if the people who are the public face of Acorn can be conned into giving the nod to a grossly illegal and immoral scheme. Wonder what goes on in the back offices?

I really don't get why the GOP, under GWB, did not do its best to step on vote fraud when they had the power to do so.

The GOP has been fighting the "racist" label for a long time. Why? I have no idea, as which party brought about the end of slavery? Which party spearheaded civil rights? Yet the "progressives" have made race one of the biggest dividing issues in their battle with the Republican Party.

And the Repubs, true to form, just put their proverbial tails between their legs and run for the hills when race is brought up.

As we see, even today - Glen Beck was immediately labeled as a racist when he broadcast the audio from the first tape on the radio, and the video on his TV program..

Thus, GW was content to win the elections. He didn't want to draw the race card and further hurt his image (at least that is how I interpret it).

And lest we forget, both political parties are eaten up with socialist corruption. Both parties have us on a train to full-blown Marxism. The difference is that the Republicans want to take the scenic route, Democrats want to take the Bullet Train...

I would expect we will see such an investigation about the same time we see one on the NEA and how the 0bama administration funneled yet more cash their way in return for volumes of propaganda. Blatantly illegal use of taxpayer money -

Shut them completely down and don’t let them morph into something else.

If the GOP retakes control of Congress, I think that such investigations would be a good move politically. Also hone in on Rangel, and on Pelosi’s use of a federal jet. I would also like to know the real story behind the Air Force One tour of the Statue of Liberty. There’s a lot more to it than we know. Also, investigate how the stimulus money is being used.

Good post. As to the Bullet Train, all of the most modern countries have them.

[DGHoodini]

Liars, thieves, and “performing artists”.

ACORN + SEIU = Criminal Organisations = RICO

Not true. Just countries where people are packed like sardines into "urban centers" in which families of 4 live in a 900 sq/ft flat in a 20 story building. If I told you where you could stick that sort of "smart growth" I'd be banned.

ACORN Ping!

FReep mail me if you want on/off the list.

[Salvation]

They can’t gain their footing because they are on a slippery slide downhill and out of sight!

[GOPJ]

“It's an organization that has devolved into a highly partisan, corrupt organization,” ... Ummmm, AND criminal...

[Grizzled Bear]

If the GOP retakes control of Congress, I think that such investigations would be a good move politically.

Past performance is the best predictor of future behavior. The GOP has ALWAYS been too gutless to take firm, decisive action.

They'll let it slide "in the spirit of nonpartisonship.."

We need a conservative party.

Most private foundations probably give to ACORN to keep the liberal activists at bay. Now that ACORN is involved in promoting child prostitution it’s all the excuse they need to stop giving. ACORN likely won’t survive long.
