If the corruption was limited to one single ACORN office - then one could buy the leftist arguments that this was an “isolated incident”. But considering similar disgusting practices were uncovered from coast-to-coast

A lot of the vote fraud perpretrated by ACORN and its relatives was known from the two GWB elections. These should have been prosecuted to the max. It shouldn't have taken the drama of a fake hooker camera sting to raise ACORN's profile to an actionable level.

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. A few half-hearted investigations were made, but no one bothered to connect the dots that were obvious to anyone who cared.

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...
