I think their formal name needs to be spelled out rather than just using their acronym -- Association of Community Organizers for Reform Now. So that's what "community organizers" do, huh? Coordinate massive fraud such as vote fraud, mortgage fraud, real estate fraud, etc.

I wonder if Hill would go so far as to endorse McCain at the 11th hour saying it is her moral duty to support the best candidate at this most important time. She would then become the defacto leader of the democratic party.

If hillary were that blatant, she would not become the defacto leader of the democrat party because she would be seen as a major betrayer. She has to approach this much more subtly than that.

Acorn’s opposition to welfare reform only threatens to worsen the self-reinforcing cycle of urban poverty

In order to create a new society, you have to destroy the one in existence first (note the health care crises). People will eventually cry our for a savior. Be he God or the devil, people will be so desperate, they accept him. ( note the lefts attempt to portray Oboma as a savior)

Listen to Carville's comments and put 2 and 2 together.

I know how to add

Half the democrats added to the GOP would give McCain 75% --you think he is getting 75%

Patrick Fitzgerald? Thats really bad news.

The fix is in. Nothing will happen with these indictments until WAY after the election. A mere footnote.

How many ways are there to say Dem damage control?

Unless Fitzoid is a Hillery supporter.

Since he is from Chicago, I doubt that much will happen except a fizzle.

What they need to do is close ALL ACORN offices nationally.

RIGHT NOW!

SHUT THEM DOWN.

I fully expect riots when Obama loses - no matter by how much. Even a landslide win by McCain I don’t believe will prevent this.

Qustion is will Bush/McCain and the American public hang tough or will they promise some administration post "For the good of the country "

We are going to pay for years of not taking action against the riots in our big cities and allowing them to go on for days It started in the early 60s

If this is anything like 1992, the investigation will fizzle out just before Nov 4th. After the election is certified, Obama and his supporters will be shredding documents 24 hours a day. Democrats will do everything they can to prevent a repeat of the investigations against Clinton. Clinton didn’t benefit from better economic conditions. He didn’t have the means to completely shove investigations against him off the headlines, but he was partially successful even then. I hate to say it, but Bush may have set some bad precedents that Democrats will take even further.

What exactly did Carville say?

In a nut shell? If the polls have Barry Husein up by 5 points before the election and he looses, there may be violence. In my opinion, It was a warning to voters to do as they're told. Vote for Oboma, or people will be hurt.

(Read up on Obomas role in Odingas Kenyan election. Story will be breaking on Hannities show on Monday).

I am all for exposing Obama as the fraud all of us know he is. But I am not confident the Lame Scream Media will. Obama is their horse and they will protect him as much as they can so he can win this race.

What happens in 2012 if Obama goes down. Does the media have to kiss and make up to Hillary?

Do you mean Patrick Fitzgerald? Who is Peter Fitzgerald?

Ironically Peter Fitzgerald was the senator who was replaced by Obama. Fitzgerald was independently wealthy and owed nothing to the Illinois GOP. He didn't need the job and when the worthless GOP leadership made life uncomfortable for him he simply walked away instead of running for re-election. Jack Ryan was brought in, got caught up in a sex 'scandal' and gave way to Alan Keyes. And we know how that ended.

Read his wiki and you'll realized he was as good as you can get for a senator these days.

I’ve been thinking the same thing as I see her supporters come out for McCain and watched as Berg filed the lawsuit against the DNC regarding 0bama’s birth certificate. I’ve wondered if the Clinton’s are not behind it.

It may get real interesting as the election approaches...

It tells me that the Dem party has gone even too far left for Hillary and her supporters which would explain Pelosi endorsing Obama not Hillary. That should tell everyone how far left they have become when Hillary seems centrist compared to Obama and company.

The democrats have created the Frankenstein Monster ( Black core base )by their pandering and labeling the GOP as racists , PCism,Quotas etc etc for decades

The Clintons jumped in whole hog and pandered even more .NOBODY could top what they did

The monster turned on them and destroyed them just like in the movie

Now the monster is completely out of control and roaming the country side --I hope you own a gun

Screw Hillary and her elite liberal followers They may have damn well have ruined this country with their Frankenstein Monster

It is full speed ahead — broke on our local news break in Oklahoma City that there is a RICO Investigation into ACORN and named some groups who filed against ACORN that I never heard. It is the 2nd station here that has had the breaking news. It also tied them to the Obama campaign who gave ACORN $800,000 for their actions.

I question this news. There is no announcement of any case anywhere on Google news.

nothing.

Even for things the media tries to hide, there are at least a few stories about it.

I seriously doubt there is a RICO investigation going on, though I would like it to be true.

“Over at the DUmp they’re calling any ACORN investigation racist racist racist.”

“Yeah, and what’s with this ‘RICO’ thing-is that supposed to be a slap at Puerto Ricans? Bigots!” /s;)

“Qustion is will Bush/McCain and the American public hang tough or will they promise some administration post “For the good of the country “”

Better known as the Quisling option.

NUTS! HOW ACORN GOT ME INTO VOTE SCAM

"Two Ohio voters, including Domino's pizza worker Christopher Barkley , claimed yesterday that they were hounded by the community-activist group ACORN to register to vote several times, even though they made it clear they'd already signed up...

"I kept getting approached by folks who asked me to register," Barkley said. "They'd ask me if I was registered. I'd say yes, and they'd ask me to do it [register] again.

"Some of them were getting paid to collect names. That was their sob story, and I bought it," he said.

Barkley is one of at least three people who have been subpoenaed by the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections as part of a wider inquiry into possible voter fraud by ACORN. The group seeks to register low-income voters, who skew overwhelmingly Democratic.

"You can tell them you're registered as many times as you want - they do not care," said Lateala Goins, 21, who was subpoenaed.

"They will follow you to the buses, they will follow you home, it does not matter," she told The Post.

She added that she never put down an address on any of the registration forms, just her name.

A third subpoenaed voter, Freddie Johnson, 19, filled out registration cards 72 times over 18 months, officials said..."
