Excellent post!

Didn&#039;t know where to post this. Not only is Acorn helping to cheat for Obama.  There have been people calling credit companies complaining that someone took money off of their card and donated it to Obama. All of these are not for Obama. One person had 2,300.00 taken for Obama. This is getting scary when someone has access to personal credit card information and is taking other people&#039;s monies to donate.  What is next?  If Nobrainerobama wins we are so screwed.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;The election of 2008 should be canceled until our government can guarantee us that this organized effort to destroy the integrity of our elections has been completely corrected, and all of those responsible have been punished for their crimes.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

That will not happen.

Why?

Because our “liberal/progressive intellectual betters” and their version of the SA the nutroots will howl and do everything in their power to prevent it.

No, folks.

Face the reality of the situation. We are reliving and are going to relive a very large chunk of history in the coming years.

January, 1933-April, 1945.

Who will be to blame for this?

&lt;em&gt;All of us.&lt;/em&gt; The ones who support this much, more then the rest but we will be all to blame and we will pay for it dearly. 

Horse. Barn. Gone.

Enjoy your last weeks of freedom and enjoy your last weeks of being able to speak your piece on blogs such as this. Blogs and any other information source that does not spout the party line will be one of the first things to go-they will be categorized as &quot;racist hate speech&quot; and shut down. You can already see them planning that.</description>

		<description>It really makes no sense to get all worked up about this. It is now too late to stop it.

The second part of this statement is the part I have a real problem with. In my view, this election has been compromised at this point. With over a dozen states reporting heavy voter fraud at the hands of ACORN, it&#039;s to late to reverse the damage. 

I don&#039;t care about the (D) or the (R), I care about our free election system (Democracy) have been compromised, esp. by an organized effort by an organization that is funded in part by my tax dollars.

The election of 2008 should be canceled until our government can guarantee us that this organized effort to destroy the integrity of our elections has been completely corrected, and all of those responsible have been punished for their crimes.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Ummm… how many votes does $800,000 buy from ACORN?

Canadian Imperialist Running Dog on October 14, 2008 at 8:09 PM&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Acorn has registered 1.3 million voters at a cost of $16 million. At $12.31 a vote, $800K buys 64,987 and 2/3 votes.</description>

		<description>It really makes no sense to get all worked up about this. It is now too late to stop it.

Horse. Barn. Gone. 

These states with rampant ACORN voter fraud have intentionally allowed it to happen and have put up every roadblock they could to prevent things like mandatory voter ID&#039;s, etc. They have guaranteed that the election results for this election will be as phony as a three dollar bill and there is not a thing any of us can do about it. These tactics are straight out of the NSDAP play book.

Once they get their Obamamessiah &quot;elected&quot; it will be the last election we will have. A Democrat/Marxist stacked Supreme Court, a Democrat/Marxist stacked court system and carefully crafted lawsuits out of Democrat/Marxist &quot;community activists&quot; will guarantee that the Bill of Rights and the Constitution will become little more then the Obamamessiah&#039;s toilet paper and the concept of government of, by and for the people will cease to exist. After all, we are too stupid according to our &quot;liberal/progressive intellectual betters&quot; like Queen Nancy Pelosi, the Dirty Commissioner Harry Reid, the Obamamessiah, his MSM choir, Rappers, race warriors, 1960&#039;s terrorists, Islamofascists, those rocket scientists in Hollywood and the &quot;owners&quot; of the Democratic party know what is good for us and aren&#039;t going to stand for us actually wanting to have a voice in it.</description>

Gotta tell you William, that made my day.

//rant on
Er, sorry. I have to. Cox had the balls to actually call them criminals. 

Finally.

Lately it&#039;s been like getting mugged on a busy street in broad daylight, and having the cop on the beat shrug his shoulders just before turning back to continue his conversation about last night&#039;s dancing with the stars.

Where the hell are our public defenders?

I am so sick of senseless congressional investigations over frivolous stuff and absolutely nothing being done about the many serious issues we have before us right now. I demand action, damnit.

This stuff is critcally important and, for the most part, the people in charge are saying, &quot;Oh well...&quot; and successfully skipping unquestioned off into the distance once again running away from their dutiful responsibilities. And the idiots that put them in power will re-elect them. 

It&#039;s long past time for the identification, prosecution, conviction and punishment of the guilty. I pray a majority of the American Public think similarly.

Media! Get a clue. It would be must watch tv. You&#039;d make millions. Bigger ratings than OJ.

Enough is enough, damnit.

		<description>I don&#039;t know why everyone is so worked up about this. 

We know the Democrats were all up in arms about supposed misdeeds in the 2000 and 2004 elections so I&#039;m sure they will step up to the plate and speak out against these fraud allegations.

Right?</description>

		<description>Why was it necessary for ACORN to scan something?  Collect the forms and hand them in.  Or hand out the blank forms and let people send them directly to the county.  Or go to a photocopy shop, make copies of these forms, turn in the originals, and scan the copies when the scanner is fixed.</description>

		<description>If you&#039;ve ever wondered if voter disenfranchisement is real you have the proof now as your votes are about to be canceled out by an organization that is gung-ho for cheating. If the American people cannot rely on the integrity of our voting system then our government loses legitimacy as the people&#039;s say is not heard. For WE THE PEOPLE are the government and our elected officials are to elected by us to represent us. Not to represent the will of a few who have do not have a majority and need to CHEAT to win.</description>

When I saw Warren Rudman and Dnaforth as the people Mccain has on this I knew we are in trouble.
Even if Mccain knows he is robbed on election night he will proably just let it go for the &#039;good of the country&#039;

What he needs to do right now is turn up the heat in a major way.
Make an announcement that goes something like.
My party will not accept a fraudlent election. Period.
Make a speech in front of some army rangers or something and say we are in danger of becoming a bannana republic and this is unacceptable.

When the MSM howls and moans he should then do it again except harder.</description>

		<description>Someone got their wish the Michigan AG is charging an ACORN worker with Felony Voter Fraud

&lt;blockquote&gt;Michigan attorney general charges ACORN worker with forgery
Paul Egan / The Detroit News

Michigan Atty. Gen. Mike Cox on Tuesday charged a former ACORN worker with forgery in connection with voter registration applications he submitted in the city of Jackson. 

Antonio Johnson, 23, a convicted felon who is currently being held in Jackson County on a parole violation, is charged with six counts of forging a public document and faces up to 14 years on each count, Cox said in a news release. 

Johnson was working for the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now between May and June of this year when he filled out, signed and submitted six voter registration applications, using two Jackson residents&#039; names, without their knowledge, Cox said. 

 &quot;This is an obvious case of forgery and that is why I am taking action today,&quot; said Cox. &quot;This office will not stand by while criminals interfere with the voting rights of Michigan citizens.&quot; &lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>

Let&#039;s see if I get your point...

Schools allow children to leave class and march in lefty endorsed protests, but don&#039;t report it since that would cut into their Fed MONEY. Whose fault? The kids.

Schools have meal programs with a &quot;means test&quot; that almost everyone lies about since they know no one will check and the schools are able to turn a small PROFIT on the income, so they turn a blind eye. Whose fault? The parents.

Food stamp programs find that they are not able to give away all of their budget. Solution? Spend some of it on advertising so as to &quot;get out the stamps&quot;, but don&#039;t vet the applications since that might defeat the purpose of giving away all the MONEY they were given. Thus allowing them to ask for even more next year. Whose fault? The applicants.

&quot;Volunteers of America&quot; has PAID volunteers (oxymoron alert) who provide &quot;free&quot; pre-school, also with a &quot;means test&quot; filter. Almost the entire class is made up of Hispanics (in my area here in SoCal) whose mother&#039;s drive very very nice SUV&#039;s. Whose fault? The parents.

ACORN receives money based on the number of signed voter registration forms they can turn in. The word is out that no one is vetting the forms, so the collectors turn in as many as they can regardless of the &quot;rules&quot; they were supposedly told to follow because they know the rules are not enforced. Whose fault? The collectors.

So, in your world, none of the people actually charged with the responsibility of ensuring the proper administration of the programs they are paid to administer have any culpability. 

Right?</description>

I want convictions, and guilty people going to jail.

Can&#039;t wait for your response when that happens.

&#039;Course, if your messiah wins, all bets are off. Chicago way and all, you know? 

You elect an unexamined malleable marxist and a complicit and utterly incompetent congress into power and we all will suffer.

Obama is not gonna make it all better.</description>

I believe a similar defense was used at Nuremberg.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Why, then, is Hennepin talking about criminal charges?  Sounds like something more than a bad scanner is going on in Minnesota ACORN.&lt;/i&gt;

Guilt by insinuation again!  In fairness, it&#039;s so easy to do.

This whole ACORN thing is a joke.  The fraudulent names were added by people who were trying to pull a fast one on ACORN by adding more names (and thus getting more money) without doing any work.

		<description>We know that acorn is committing fraud in behalf of Obama. We also know that the indies are turned off by the attacks and that the base is demanding them.

There is a way to accomplish both goals. Here&#039;s how......

There is a sales technique called &quot;forced response&quot; and we have all experienced it. An example would be when a car salesman, rather than ask you if you want the car, he asks you if you want the red one or the blue one. This is called the hard sell because it glosses over the basic premise (do you want this model car) and makes the secondary consideration the main issue.

This is the technique that McCain should use when dealing with Obama&#039;s associations.

IE: &quot;Senator Obama, we know that your associations with Willaim Ayres, Tony Rezko, ACORN, Reverend Wright, and other extremists are problematic. Can you promise the American people tonight that the association you have in the future will not be so problematic?&quot;

The audience naturally wants the question answered, but Obama cannot let the basic premise that he has associated with extremists go unanswered. So, he has to defend his associations. While he is doing so, the audience is still waiting for an answer because they don&#039;t know if it&#039;s true or not and there is enough evidence that they are concerned.They simply want to know if his appointments will have main stream views.

I&#039;m not an expert on this stuff, but you get the gist.</description>
