Makes me wonder if they already had a plan in place for something like this. After all…it was no secret conservative media was gunning for them. So it wouldn’t suprise me if they have a way around the rules in place already.

Patterson Dumps ACORN, Obi-One Throws Patterson Under the Bus…

So the governor of New York suspends state funds to ACORN. Obama asks Patterson not to run for Re-election. Which I take as “we won’t support you”. Then Barack says he’s ignorant. Yeah right. You know Mr. President, last week……

It’s becoming “PERFECTLY CLEAR” that the people Obama has in his employ that have not paid their taxes and are currently withholding tax payments and concealing other income, have been judged by Obama himself, to be exempt from the “REDISTRIBUTION OF WEALTH PROGRAM” being enforced.

Glad to see gender roles have been restored in NY. Paterson grew some nad, and Gillibrand exposed the boob.

Acorn gets state money too? Anyone know how to find out if a state gives $ to them?

Gee, only a few days ago the troll crr6 was defending Lewis and ACORN, saying that the Meth Woman in San Berdoo MUST have been fooled and intimidated into Making Stuff Up.

trolls are ‘reverse indicators’: Whatever they say IS, is….not. You can set your watch or compass by them, in reverse: night is day, up is down……..

exit question: Was the Demo Party trying to send us a message by nominating a mentally as well as visually challenged Black man as Lt. Gov? Paterson was an ‘in your face’ obviously flawed person tossed out into the uppermost levels of public office in one of the most populous states to dare any of us to object?

and when he becomes Gov because of Client # 9, the Dems doubled down on the dare? Sort of, “Here’s our blatantly unqualified clown, but you can’t touch him because of race, handicap”, etc?

They’re trolling him………..

Oddly enough that’s what all the Dems in Congress want to know along with the President. Did bigGov’t inherit Imelda Marcos shoe closet? Tic tock tick tock

Use the IRS. It falls under the Department of Treasury, and that means conservatives can scream to Americans about Obama’s tax cheat Secretary of the Treasury (Geithner) is covering for another tax cheat. Few Americans have contact with the DOJ, the FBI, and the like. But virtually everyone–expect Obama’s non-income-tax-paying supporters–has direct contact with the IRS. And for once, they’d probably like to see the IRS going after some legiitimately bad guys.

As everyone knows, Capone got taken down on a income-tax charge. Why not ACORN?

ACORN for the first time faces the prospect of recieving it’s just desserts. The fat lady may be on TV but she ain’t singing yet, and these people are practiced in the art of covering their tracks.

While the investigation on ACORN (and acording to Breitbart on Savage yesterday possibly SEIU) has got the ball rolling, we can only hope that DOJ will follow this trail with due diligence to the big dogs. With holder in that top slot I am something less than confident in the enthusiasm he will pursue this with. However, despite that prosecutorial reluctance these things can take on a life of their own and a perfect storm manufactures its own momentum. Whatever the case, the debt owed to Giles and O’Keefe for their intrepid crusade by this country cannot be overstated.

In football there is a crunch point in ever great comeback (The ’93 Bills over the Oilers in their erasure of a 32pt deficit come to mind.) there is a turning point upon which one can point to where the tide changed. Having Obama in office, the House and the Senate could reasonably be compared to a 32pt lead. The ACORN/child prostitution tapes may be that point at which the progressives, being cocky coming out after half-time, have gotten a tad too sloppy and Giles and O’Keefe just scored two quick TD’s.

As we have seen by the vitriol and intensity of the push-back by the progressives, they have by no means gone into a complacent “prevent-defense”. The conservatives may have seized upon the Alinskyite’s playbook and taken them by surprise by running their own plays against them.

Hmmmmn, I have seemed to have gotten of on another rambling rant, sorry guys.

I think this is starting to develop a cohesive line of thinking (perish the thought!) that might have the makings of my next piece.

If it turns into something I’ll let you know. Wish I could throw it up in the grenn room, but I have difficulties making that work.

I am hoping Lewis keeps her job for another year, and keeps opening her mouth as wide as possible. ACORN will bleed for it and that is a good thing.

Paterson will wait the perfunctory month, and then resume funding through one of ACORN’s subsidiaries.

Nope. I think he cut them now and gives himself 30 days to back up a decision he had no choice over. He will have enough time to get dirt and evidence.

Paterson needs ACORN too much to sever ties, as do most other liberal NY pols. The dependance and collusion here is primordial liberalism. Paterson will wait the perfunctory month, and then resume funding through one of ACORN’s subsidiaries.

You know, back when I was dirt poor, I did my own taxes without help from anyone and could very well figure if I got th EIC or not. Why do people need help doing that?

I tell my students over and over again that they need to be their own best advocate for their education, but so few of them do. It’s frustrating as heck, but I guess it comes from this sort of mentality, and translates to an inability to do the most basic adult things down the road.

The only question I have left is how many vids of bigGov’t have up its sleeve? So far it seems like every time ACORN has the bleeding stopped, a new video or two comes out to put a new hole in them.

The hold will stay in place during a 30-day review of $400,000 worth of state contracts with ACORN and its parent, New York Agency for Community Affairs.

And it wouldn’t surprise me that after thirty days and once enough Liberal white wash to paint the Titanic has been applied Governor Patterson will quite happily restore ACORN’s NY state funding.

All these suspensions and blocking money from ACORN is just temporary political correct gaming going on. Wait a few months and it will all be restored, no problem.
