I bet this slug doesn't even realize that that is a major part of our distrust of Obama and Rathke and Stern's ilk: The are willing to bet on socialism even though every where else the bet has been laid on it's lost.
The idea that they would replace a known working system (capitalism) and bet our very future on socialism is exactly why these people need to go now!
People like the SEIU dont make investments without expecting a return.
SEIU and ACORN are one and the same.
Great catch!

Rathke is one seriously deranged individual. Like a rabid dog, he needs to be put down... a nice bright orange jumpsuit would fit his sorry ass just fine.
Your point is well taken, but we must stay aware, and make it clear that there are two Rathke brothers, so neither founded both ACORN and SEIU. Of course, it would be reasonable to assume they have been working in concert all along...
