Reid blocks ACORN probe
Las Vegas Review-Journal ^ | September 25, 2009 | Las Vegas Review-Journal

Posted on 09/25/2009 5:03:19 AM PDT by libstripper

ACORN -- the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now -- is stinking up Washington.

And this is far more significant than if a suspiciously large number of operatives for a purely "private" outfit had been found systematically bending and breaking the law, because ACORN receives and spends taxpayer money -- lots of it -- and had carried the imprimatur of official partnerships with the IRS, the Census Bureau ... the kind of "cred" that in the political world comes only from "who you know."

Actually Biden is President of the Senate, Reid is Majority Leader. But both of them are dumber than dirt. Hopefully by 2013 both will be out of there.

Democraps control the machine, Reid will win no matter how bad the votes turn out for him cause THEY will manipulate the election.

Thats IF there is a 2010 election

America needs to realize a Coup has happened. Just look how freely they SOB's in power are abusing what is left of the Constitution.

He’s blocking it because if he didn’t we’ll uncover so much dirt it’s going to be unreal. I say let’s go after it anyway. Calling all citizen investigators who have some time on their hands to get busy. Yes we can!!

" What’s ACORN got on Reid? Maybe how certain election results were “arranged”?!!"

Without Acorn's help in Reid's last election, he would be lucky to be a SEIU janitor at some casino in Nevada.

I don’t want OUR tax dollars being funneled into any campaigns!!!

Most accurate assessment I've seen of Democrat Communist power grabbing.

cause THEY will manipulate the election.

It is not "manipulation" or "dirty tricks" as some like to call it. It is criminal vote tampering, aka election fraud, vote fraud, voter fraud.
We must begin calling it what it is.

Thats IF there is a 2010 election

Defends on what your definition of "IF" is I suppose.
IF the 2010 election even remotely resembles the elections of 2008, then it will not be an election, but merely a formality to keep the sheeple running in circles trying to find out what just happened.

America needs to realize a Coup has happened.

Some Americans have been saying this for over a year -- ever since the '08 primaries.

He is one of ACORN’s BEST friends! They helped get him elected. ACORN has tremendous power in congress. Reid is just kissing his masters butt.

Reid getting reelected is all about the Las Vegas vote. Here in northern Nevada the man is despised by most.

Well he is the Senate Majority Leader. Does that count?

“Most accurate assessment I’ve seen of Democrat Communist power grabbing.”

I continue to be amaze how the good conservative political cartoonists can summarize a complicated issue with a single cartoon or like this one with a flow of a few cartoons in a sequence.

I agree. I keep hearing conservatives saying “wait for 2010” or “2012”, but I’m not so sure we will ever again have a free & fair election.

Of course, we do need to prepare for 2010/2012, but we also need to be prepared if those elections are fixed and we still need to take back this country.
