Default Obama and ACORN...

Ya know, if this same set of facts involved a Republican - Obama getting
caught flat-out lying, along with a whole bunch of other suspect claims,
in a mess involving tampering with voter roles, Ken would be squealing
like a pig, Dave would be assuring us that it was more of the same from
Karl Rove and a crazed pack of gay male prostitutes, and they and
several others would be suggesting that this made Watergate look like
nothing more than getting a BJ from an intern or cornholing
pages...well, if you are a Dem Congressman...if you are GOP, merely
looking at a page is a sure sign of perversion and degenerate
behavior...

Sheesh,
R

Seems rather strange, you apparently enjoy smearing people, you do it
all the time.

A rabid GOP wingnut prattling on and on about tampering
with the voter roles, that is truly hilarious.

ACORN hired folks to register voters and paid them by
the voter. A few of the folks they hired, very few,
inflated their pay by turning in bogus registration
forms. ACORN discovered this, reported it and fired
those responsible. ACORN themselves did this.


Only after they really got their tits in the wringer, and they didn't
significantly, if at all, change their methods - they watched the exact
movie, yet claim to have expected a different ending this time...please.
Moreover, how does someone paid by the hour, on a set schedule, inflate
their pay by falsifying registrations? The only way to do that is if
ACORN was paying by the name, which is both stupid and naive at best. On
top of which, this has been occurring for 2-4 years.

Hardly. It apparently happened in at least 14 states, and the best that
can be said for ACORN is that the management is both stupid and naive as
there were reports of irregularities as well as criminal convictions
well over a year ago (again, there have been issues for at least 2-4
years). Another interesting thing is that a group that allegedly wants
to help low-income people pays the supposedly-unfairly-low minimum wage
and expects no problems of this sort. But among the more interesting
things is, one, that Obama, now that the **** has really hit the fan, is
trying to distance himself from them whereas during this campaign (in
the later stages of the primary, IIRC), he bragged about how he and
ACORN had worked together on several occasions and, two, his campaign
(you know, the one _he_ runs that he claims gives him all the executive
experience he needs to be POTUS) gave them funding - over 800 grand for
whatever reason de jour on one occasion and I've heard that wasn't the
only monies given, but ??? - IAC, his campaign did give them some pretty
significant funding.

But most importantly, this is like the law - it isn't a perfect system,
but it is by far and away the best one going and anything that tampers
with the integrity in and trust of that system is a VERY dangerous
thing.

This whole holier-than-thou thing from supposed "liberal" Dems about
Obama is not a good thing for the US or the system. Obama is far from
perfect and if he should win, unless he is thoroughly scrutinized BEFORE
that time, and things start popping up after the fact, it will set black
folks back quite a bit politically and unfairly so.

Sheesh,
R

Oh please, yourself. Anybody who claims ACORN was engaged in
deliberate and systematic voter fraud is a either a rabid,
partisan GOP wingnut or a moron. The Times got this right:

Hardly. ...


Seriously, you're starting to sound really silly. I mean,
what's the deal, do you have a TV tuned to Foxnews stuck
up your butt ? You need to pull your head out of there.
Oh, turn off the TV first. LOL !!
