Rumors Abound A post yesterday on pro-Hillary HillBuzz claims that a contributer spoke with someone in the Chicago court system that a team of FBI investigators in ten states are putting together a RICO case for U.S. Attorney Patrick……

Let’s hope the Allegheny County DA files the toughest charges he can find. The only way to stop ACORN from committing its systemic fraud throughout the nation is to start filing tough charges against its foot soldiers, who can then expose the executives for any directives they have issued to generate thousands upon thousands of fraudulent registrations. When the canvassers start facing 10-year sentences, we will start hearing plenty about ACORN management.

I suspect you mean sytematic rather that systemic. Systemic would be more that the system has a problem that prevents people from properly registering. Systematic means that in an organized or deliberate fashion someone or some group is attempting to alter (Could I say rig?) the voter registration base for their own purposes.

Here’s the most insidious part about the effort. The flood of registrations ACORN supplies creates an overload for registrars, who then have a more difficult time finding the more subtle cases of registration fraud. Is ACORN deliberately overloading registrars to hide some other effort?

This is akin to last year’s shamnesty bill. One of our major objects was that the illegal immigrants would be “processed” in an unrealistic time frame. Those of us with common sense knew that the bill’s stated time frame would invite government bureaucrats to “shortcut” the vetting process and likely lead to “rubber stamping” of many who would not ordinarily be allowed legal entry into the country.

It’s no longer just a news item for conservative talk radio, righty blogs, and Fox News. CNN has been forced to cover the fraudulent activities of ACORN, the group of community organizers that Barack Obama once worked for. ACORN has been very busy in …

CNN: ACORN fraud and ties to Obama
Drew Griffin had better watch out. If he continues reporting on Barack Obama like this, pretty soon the Obama campaign will target him as an extremist and a hate-monger. Griffin tells Campbell Brown on CNN how……

Shall we consider adding Australia to the mix?

Have been talking about that possibility for years, but to do so I believe you need to have secured employment in the country.

The wife is none to hip on the idea due to the number of poisonous animals. I figure you can kill animals if you need to, but poisonous ideals are much more difficult ot deal with.

Is ACORN deliberately overloading registrars to hide some other effort?

Might this be an added benefit for them:
When ACORN brings in massive registrations of Dems Only, do the pollsters then re-analyze their data to be more Dem-Heavy than actual….increasing Obama’s numbers?

This would probably not(if at all) happen in Australia. Australia is a parliamentary system where once the Prime Minister calls the election voters have only 3 days to register to vote. Once the electoral rolls are closed that is final. And there are extra identity checks as well – proof of ID – drivers licence, proof of address etc.

I’m surprised the US isn’t this careful.

Guys and gals, we’ve been kicking around relocating to Texas, Alaska, or Alaskas (combination of the two) for some time on these HA threads. Shall we consider adding Australia to the mix?

I’m of Irish descent (2nd generation US) — I wonder if I can get in on a prison pass…

They built the system to protect themselves.

Does ACORN pay commissions for large numbers of registrations, or do the workers get paid a flat rate?

ACORN pays 8.00 an hour for workers but you have a quota to fill each day to keep your job. If you dont mee the quota you get fired.

In one sense this sort of, and I mean sort of, gives me a better feeling towards my fellow Americans. If most Americans are that far gone in the head then why is there a need for ACORN? Perhaps ACORN is like an insurance policy in case the American public wises up. Based on what I know, and have seen of ACORN, they have more in common with Nazism than the MSM is willing to give them. ACORN is all about squashing the individual, and for the most part singularly focuses in on African-Americans. They intimidate our citizens, and promote race and class warfare in the minds of the people they come in contact with, and plant seeds of sheer hatred.

This whole ACORN fiasco sums up Obama totally. Lying, cheating, slight of hand and criminally liable are words that pretty much sum it up. During the primaries with Hillary he began his racially charged campaign, and he began a division in America that for all intense and purposes resembles the days of the 1950′s-70′s when our nation was in turmoil over race relations. Obama is solely responsible for causing a new racial divide in this country. Win or lose, I wonder how long it will take for us to no longer look at each other with suspicion and lack of trust or even fear. Some of you may say this is ridiculous, and way off the mark. I will remind you of the video of those young African-Americans chanting for Obama, and then I will tell you African-Americans have personally communicated to me the divisions are definitely there and highly volatile. Then I would point to the comment section of Ben Smith’s article yesterday at Politico about how Obama thought Ayers was reformed. There is a lot of hatred out there for anyone that supports McCain/Palin. A lot!

It is really very sad and disturbing to see ACORN run rampant for so long and not one Republican President took it upon himself to shut this down. No, instead we put border agents in jail. But beyond this is the fact that we are a nation in crisis no matter what your race. We have young people in jails at alarming numbers, a rise of STDs in young people, high school drop out rates are horrendous, and gang activities are disturbing. We have economic issues and wars to be won and all this racially charged language from the Obama campaign and Obama himself on divides AMERICANS from finding solutions together, and keeping our nation strong, together. We have fought together for this nation and died together for this nation and I pray to God that we can survive this election together because if not, our nation will surely die.

Also, I’ve changed the post title. I know Allegheny County is Pittsburgh, but for some reason I wrote Philly. Must be the Steagles era that confused me.

Yeah, now I’m getting crap when I wear my Eagles hat. It’s not just the Obama fans giving me a hard time, although Obama fans are truly viscious and immature. I feel like I’m in high school, no, grade school; “nuh uh, mine’s better”

The only way to stop ACORN from committing its systemic fraud throughout the nation is to start filing tough charges against its foot soldiers, who can then expose the executives for any directives they have issued to generate thousands upon thousands of fraudulent registrations.

Yep. Roll them. Better hurry. This will all disappear if Bambi wins.

ACORN pays per registration

ACORN and the Democrats now this and planned for it.

Nothing can convince me that ACORN itself is not involved. It’s too widespread for them not to be encouraging this!
