Undead ACORN Is Trying To Elect Joe Sestak in PA
American Spectator ^ | 11.02.10 | Matthew Vadum

ACORN is not dead.

In fact it is working hard in Pennsylvania to elect Joe Sestak and other Democrats to Congress.

To stay out of the media spotlight this year, ACORN converted its Pennsylvania chapter into two new nonprofit corporations. The two tax-exempt affiliates are Pennsylvania Neighborhoods for Social Justice (PNSJ) and Action United. Both nonprofits filed their incorporation documents in January. Both groups operate out of ACORN's offices at 846 North Broad Street in Philadelphia.

The two "new" ACORN groups have been very active in the current election cycle....

Inside ACORN sources say PNSJ has been conducting a get-out-the-vote drive exclusively in Democratic strongholds, including public housing facilities

Laura Ingraham stated on Fox News that the Democrats are forcing mentally disabled people to vote (we know for which party) even though one of the poor fellows protested vehemently.

This news obviously needs to be checked by the media but our drive by media Communists will probably never follow up on the story.

Crooks and cheats! Scurrying and scampering into another disguise. Disgusting.

The only times I have seen more ACORNS than election season in PA are when I hunt in the oak woods back home. Team after team of them are out there, active, working harder than they do all year!

<rant reason=frustration>
Meanwhile, many FReepers whine about "voter fraud" because many areas go Dem despite GOP registration leads. The fact is, the Lefties are out there getting out the vote, and I've never seen a single GOP team doing the same in these areas.

That seal of the Democrat Party with the crying baby will soon be changed to read "conservative" in my mind, if conservatives don't get off their butts and boards to get out and knock on doors, instead of blaming losses on "voter fraud" where there is none!

Yes, voter fraud exists is rampant in some areas...but that's no excuse to blame everything on it.

I would agree, but there IS a ton of voter fraud. One need look no further than Ohio in 2008, when all you needed to vote in early voting was a utility bill with your name on it. Despite having moved from Ohio to Tennessee in early 2008, I could have voted twice in Ohio with 2 different utility bills from 2 different addresses. And the crooked SOS Bruner was fine with that. There were well over 200,000 questionable ballots cast in Ohio in 2008. There should be precious few questionable ballots.

Voter fraud isn't an excuse, but it is an issue that should have been dealt with years ago.

Agreed. I hate the fraud on both sides. Remember that the paperless voting setups resulted in more Republican votes than registered voters in several places. I fully support the Dems' complaints about that--but I don't hear them trying to crack down on the rampant abuse in, for example, Philly.

Of course, the GOP lawyers haven't cared, either....there are some good deals going on.

...the only way to cripple ACORN/Working Families/Action United ect.ect. is to cut off their government money...they’re all under pinned by government grants...if they had to rely on donations from within they would wither away.

I don't remember that issue involving paperless voting setups and republican votes, but I know for certain that the amount of fraud on the right side is so minute as to be essentially nonexistent compared with the rampent voter fraud on the left. In virtually every close election, we have some democrat "official" showing up with a trunkload of ballots that had somehow been lost and then found.

How else could one explain the election of such marxists as Obama, Pelosi, and Reid? I don't even need to mention Al Frankin. There just aren't enough stupid people in the country to elect them without cheating.
