Democrats are split on how to deal with Acorn, the liberal "community
organizing" group that deployed thousands of get-out-the-vote workers
last election. State and city Democratic officials -- who've been
contending with its many scandals -- are moving against it.
Washington
Democrats are still sweeping Acorn abuses under a rug.

On Monday, Nevada officials charged Acorn, its regional director and
its Las Vegas field director with submitting thousands of fraudulent
voter registration forms last year. Larry Lomax, the registrar of
voters in Las Vegas, says he believes 48% of Acorn's forms "are
clearly fraudulent." On Thursday, prosecutors in Pittsburgh, Pa.,
also
charged seven Acorn employees with filing hundreds of fraudulent
voter
registrations before last year's general election.


Acorn spokesman Scott Levenson calls the Nevada criminal complaint
"political grandstanding" and says that any problems were the actions
of an unnamed "bad employee." But Catherine Cortez Masto, Nevada's
Democratic Attorney General, told the Las Vegas Sun that Acorn itself
is named in the criminal complaint. She says that Acorn's training
manuals "clearly detail, condone and ... require illegal acts," such
as requiring its workers to meet strict voter-registration targets to
keep their jobs.


Other Democrats on the ground have complaints. Fred Voight, deputy
election commissioner in Philadelphia, protested after Acorn
(according to the registrar of voters and his own investigation)
submitted at least 1,500 fraudulent registrations last fall. "This
has
been going on for a number of years," he told CNN in October. St.
Louis Democrat Matthew Potter, the city's deputy elections director,
had similar complaints.


Elsewhere, Washington state prosecutors fined Acorn $25,000 after
several employees were convicted of voter registration fraud in 2007.
The group signed a consent decree with King County (Seattle),
requiring it to beef up its oversight or face criminal prosecution.
In
the 2008 election, Acorn's practices led to investigations, some
ongoing, in 14 other states.


The stink is bad enough that some congressional Democrats have taken
notice. At a March 19 hearing on election problems, Michigan Rep.
John
Conyers, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, pressed New York
Rep. Gerald Nadler, chairman of the Subcommittee on the Constitution,
Civil Rights and Civil Liberties, to hold a hearing on Acorn. He
called the charges against it "serious." Mr. Nadler agreed to
consider
the request...

Jerusalem
Israeli officials on Sunday tried to downplay tensions looming with
the United States after George Mitchell, the Obama administration's
Middle East envoy, suggested in a PBS interview that the US could
consider withholding support for loan guarantees for Israel.

.. . . it's you Weasel Beanster, that's what smells. You duck, you
dodge. but you cannot deny your thuggish refusal to acknowledge or
correct a lie that you posted about an NRA Board member. Your past
stuff more than suggests that some motivation for your intense dislike
of Obama is racist.. And now I will venture that you are or will
become a fellow traveler in Aryan Nations type circles.

The tip off is your willingness to participate in a smear of someone
like Professor Olson, an activist in some conservative causes. That
means/ends swishiness is pretty characteristic of low brow folk
besotted with a radical ideology that seems to have lots of answers.
IE Communism, fascism, Rand-ism, La Rouche-ism etc..

At least you might consider just dropping the charade and stop trying
to pass yourself off as a conservative.

WASHINGTON — U.S. Rep. Dan Boren, Oklahoma's only Democrat in
Congress, predicts his party will lose seats in elections later this
year.

While such a statement falls in the category of conventional wisdom
that historically has the party in power losing congressional seats in
mid-term elections, Boren parts company with others within his own
party by suggesting such a setback would be a "good thing for Oklahoma
and for me.''

"If we have a tight majority one way or another, that puts me in the
driver's seat,'' the three-term lawmaker said.

"In the 112th (Congress), I probably will have the most influence I
have ever had, no matter who has the majority.''

Describing a Republican takeover of the House as a "tall order'' for
the GOP, Boren said his party, even if it retains the majority in a
new Congress that convenes in 2011, will be forced back toward the
center politically.

During his campaign, President Obama's advisers promised an economic
stimulus that would be "timely, targeted and temporary." It sounded
pretty good. But now congressional Democrats are pushing something
very different.

The legislation written by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and
House
Speaker Nancy Pelosi is shortsighted, with potentially harmful long-
term ramifications. What was supposed to be an immediate boost to our
economy has morphed into yet another overreaching spending
boondoggle.
There's no place for things like $45 million for ATV trails and
government office renovations. Yet, that's precisely the sort of
unnecessary spending that Reid and Pelosi are pushing.


Perhaps that's why polls show most Americans want major changes to
the
stimulus bill moving through Congress. The Republican Party is
listening, and ready to work with President Obama to craft
legislation
that would immediately create jobs.


We should first agree that with so many taxpayers struggling to pay
their own bills, every dollar must help job creation. Republicans
offered ideas to focus the stimulus directly on creating jobs and
helping homeowners, but the Democrat leaders in Congress preferred
the
top-down big government approach.


In his news conference this week, the president was selling fast and
hard. He clearly senses that the American people have had enough of
these trillion-dollar spending sprees. As the loyal opposition,
Republicans have a responsibility to call him out when he errs, and
work with him when he is right.


In that spirit, let's recognize the Democrats' spending bill is a
mistake. If you like government dependence, you will love the Reid-
Pelosi plan that they are jamming through Congress.

Same old same old. Zero specifics. No alternatives, no participation,
no negotiation, no,no,no. Makes you wonder if the rightwing congressno-
nos should be cashing their paychecks, considering that most are doing
nothing to earn their pay except passing on the press releases of the
radical America haters and giving cover and enabling the fringies like
the Beanster and his ultra radical buddies to spew their half truths.

An exclusive report that will air tonight on CBS EVENING NEWS WITH
KATIE COURIC reveals the alarmingly high number of members of Congress
who got an all-expense paid trip to Denmark -- on your dime!

An embargoed script from Sharyl Attkisson's report:

Few would argue with the US having a presence at the Copenhagen
Climate Summit.

NATS OBAMA I'M ALWAYS HOPEFUL

(VO: Denmark beauty shot)

But wait until you hear what we found about how many in Congress got
all-expense paid trips to Denmark... on your dime.

(VO)

Our camera spotted House Speaker Nancy Pelosi at the summit. She
called the shots on who got to go.

That's House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer.

And there's the embattled Chairman of the Tax Committee Charles
Rangel.

"NATS: YOU TAKIN' CARE OF MR. RANGEL? HE SURE IS!"

Bad Democrats Bad Bad Bad
World climate change neglected for 8 years in the face of overwhelming
evidence, while the Rs conduct a war on science and curry favor with
ignorant clowns (some of whom can't even pass a CPA exam after years
of diddling) and snake-handler medicine show scammers and sleazy mail
order pastors.

And now the Dems are bad because they want to get the USA up to speed?
Shame on you Dems.

But then Beanster? I caught you posting a lie. Caught you cold. No way
can you deny that. But then if you can deny climate change, I guess
denying a patent lie is probably as easy as fudging professional
credentials.

I wonder id Professor Olson is aware of your efforts to smear him? You
a member of the NRA?
