Because all the practiced used by Acorn have one purpose in mind. Create the kind of chaos in the voter rolls to facilitate vote fraud. You don’t answer because it destroys your meme of what does voter fraud have to do with Acorn.

The votes have only just started being cast. We know from Ohio that some non-residents who came to Ohio for GOTV activities have already voted early and illegally. This is small but perhaps the tip of the iceberg. Fraudulent absentee ballots will not be screened. If Mickey Mouse votes by absentee ballot how is this stopped after the fact? The same goes for ‘repeat’ or ‘imposter’ voters if not stopped at the voting precincts. The extent of VOTER FRAUD will only be know AFTER the votes are cast and counted. We know significant VOTER REGISTRATION FRAUD is occuring because registrations have already been taken.

Unfortunately Bush has been a lame-duck President for how long?
And is Dick Cheney still the VP? Haven’t seen the guy since when?

I didn’t respond because I don’t see what it has to do with ACORN.

Show that the vote-fraud discussed in your post is tied to ACORN somehow or present evidence that ACORN is executing an organized campaign (or an unorganized one) to committed election fraud, and I’ll gladly respond.

Shreveport and anything South of I-10 is Democrat territory.

If you see Bossier Parish go blue, you know something is up.

So you guys gonna talk about Palin spending $150,000 in two months on shopping?

Gee, one of the most pressing issues facing our Republic today. /sarc

Pssst. Tom_Shipley-

Speaking of “shameless”, how do you rationalize the fact that Drummond Pike of the Tides Foundation covered up Dale Rathke’s $948,607.50 embezzlement by repaying it, and treating it as a loan on the books of Citizens Consulting, Inc. (the firm Obama employed for over $800,000 for staging and lighting GOTV efforts)?

I find it interesting that you have avoided commenting on my post. I can an only assume that the information presented so undermines your meme that you have no choice but to ignore it.

If you’re not concerned about Palin’s spending spree, you should be concerned about her stupid answer about what a VP does. If she thinks a VP runs the Senate, our enemies will surely test us!

Yeah, you think she’d be more like that Constitutional Scholar Joe Biden, who says that the VP’s job is defined as part of the Executive branch in Article I:

The Vice President of the United States shall be President of the Senate, but shall have no Vote, unless they be equally divided.

US Constitution, Article I (which defines the Congress, not the Executive), Section 3, Paragraph 4.

Oopsie.

Read it for yourself.

Right on, Tom! After all, McDonalds wasn’t held liable when one person they hired served coffee that was too hot to safely spill into some woman’s lap.

And, let’s not forget about Enron.

How is that overwhelmingly clear? I don’t see that from your post.

I think ACORN is partisan because of the areas they choose to get people registered to vote in. They’re goal is to get people from inner cities — “traditionally underrepresented” areas — to register to vote. Of course, those happen to be Democratic strong holds. I think most people who work for ACORN are liberal. I think that when they do registers Republicans they either A) don’t know or B) don’t care. I also think you won’t see ACORN registering people in rural Utah.

But that’s OK. There’s nothing inherently wrong with that. This does not “corrupt” the election process.

What has happened is that ACORN has had workers who have padded their lists with fake name for whatever reason — but this is not an attempt to sway the election, but to get out of work or earn more money. According to ACORN those people are fired:

In a few cases ACORN has caught part-time workers falsifying cards in an attempt to get paid for doing work they didn’t do. When this happens, ACORN fires the workers involved, alerts election officials and law enforcement about the problem, and cooperates fully and enthusiastically with investigations and persecutions.
· Such cases constitute employee fraud, not election fraud.
· Nearly all of the former ACORN workers who have ever been investigated or convicted were uncovered and turned-in by ACORN itself.

Now, I don’t buy your explanation that McCain was saying ACORN was committing “one of the greatest frauds of voter history in this country, maybe destroying the fabric of democracy in this country” because they are partisan. That doesn’t make sense.

There’s been a coordinated effort by the GOP — going up to McCain — and right-wing bloggers to distort the facts of these ACORN voter-registration fraud cases to make it seem like ACORN was a corrupt organization trying to rig the election. And that’s just shameless.

One last note, I do appreciate you actually engaging me in conversation instead of just calling me names.

“But unlike ACORN/Project Vote, Citizens Services is not a 501c3. 501c3s, being “charities” are forbidden to participate in partisan politics.

Which is probably why the Obama camp paid the $832,598,000 to Citizens Services, rather than risk losing ACORN/Project Vote’s tax exemption.

As Mr. Obama recently put it, “the acorn does not fall far from the tree.”

So in summation, it is overwhelmingly clear that Mr. Obama is lying about his relationship with both Ayers and ACORN.

Which begs the question:

If Mr. Obama will lie this facilely about something this blatant, why should we believe him about anything?”

Update!

Even ACORN has had to admit that Mr. Obama is lying about having never worked for them.

From a constitutional view point the the Vice President is the “President of the Senate” which if your explaining the role to a 3rd grader “control” is a reasonable explanation.

One question, are your loins properly girded?

The office of the Vice President is established under “Article I The Legislative Branch Section 3 The Senate” of the constitution. “The Vice President of the United States shall be President of the Senate, but shall have no Vote, unless they be equally divided.”

Under “Article II of the Executive Branch Section 1 The President” of the Consititution “the term of the Vice President to coincide with the President is established.”

From a Constitutional view point Sarah Palin’s response to the 3rd grader is more right then wrong. From a mom’s point of view, it was a very good answer.

How about that time President Roosevelt went on television and calmed everyone about the 1929 stock crash ~ that was a moment (wince).

We only get the trolls, who never were paying attention in high school civic classes. They got the part about civil disobedience, and that is about it. Sarah Palin prefaced her answer, that the question, sounded like a question, her younger daughter would ask…context is a beatch troll boy.
