In other words, ACORN is in full CYA mode. I’m sure their investigation will be very good at uncovering evidence of misdeeds and dispensing advice on how to cover it up better.

I’m starting to fear that Pelosi and Obama are going to be able to block a real investigation!

Like it or not not enough people are hearing about this. I know it is still early days but the House should have acted by now.

How do we get a special prosecutor on this before all the evidence of connections to politicians is destroyed? To stop this kind of crime organization we have to get the politicians who have started it and supported it.

Any audit that is not independently performed by a top five accounting firm is a whitewash and fraudulent.

But we all knew that already.

ACORN is a cesspool. Having the SEIU involved in audit oversight? How obviously Be Czar.

Acorn was originally Arkansas Community Organizers For Reform Now. In Arkansas you do the deed with your sister. the SEIU is ACORN’s biological sister. This is hill billy politics.

The upcoming report from the audit (paraphrasing Monty Python):

They are a small vociferous minority; and may I take this opportunity of emphasizing that there is no criminal activity in ACORN! Absolutely none, and when I say none, I mean there is a certain amount, more than we are prepared to admit, but all new recruits are warned that if they go to work and find any criminal activity at all at any time, they're to tell me immediately so that I can immediately take every measure to hush the whole thing up.

Oh wow! What I had predicted in a post at the FReep less than twelve hours ago has come to pass.

Of course, ACORN or a panel of its direct liberal/left beneficiaries are going to investigate the goose that lays their golden eggs!

A few ‘expendables’ will be thrown under the bus or to the wolves. There will be a big press conference around Christmas and business will proceed as usual. Money will be shifted to other shell entities under ACORN’s umbrella or into off-shore accounts, then brought back after things settle down, but overall little will have changed.

The Secularists seem to agree with the crude axiom, “Old enough to bleed, old enough to breed.”

Makes perfect sense since they want little kids to learn about oral sex and masturbation, distribute condoms to high schools, and let child molesters walk. I guess those adults who are still in high school on an emotional and intellectual level see nothing wrong with any of this.

Besides, if Conservatives want to protect children/adolescents from stuff that they’re just too young to handle and dare to decide what’s appropriate for people who are legally minors, then they must certainly be wrong, because Conservatives are wrong about everything to begin with.
