Yeah, and Obama used to be ACORN's lawyer
nm
LOL., Yeah, ACORN is highly respected and
nm
Yeah, that is how Obama got elected. ACORN
NM for you.
What about the buses in D.C.?
If Christians shouldn't be allowed to advertise, neither should atheists or agnostics. Or anyone else for that matter (Scientology ads everywhere I might add).
McCain and Palin take buses to many of their rallies....
Obama flies. So much for energy savings. I think flying everywhere takes more resources than a tanning bed. Good grief. LOL.
McCain Camp Buses In School Kids To Fill Crowd
Surely this information is incorrect.
The most cringe-worthy political moment of the day, so far, came when Sen. John McCain called out for his new buddy Joe the Plumber to stand up at a rally in Ohio, only to be greeted with confused silence. Joe the Plumber wasn't there.
But that rally featured another embarrassing moment, one that illustrates a far more troubling dynamic for the Republican ticket. The McCain campaign actually had to bus in school kids from the surrounding area in order to fill the event. As reported by MSNBC:
A local school district official confirmed after the event that of the 6,000 people estimated by the fire marshal to be in attendance this morning, more than 4,000 were bused in from schools in the area. The entire 2,500-student Defiance School District was in attendance, the official said, in addition to at least three other schools from neighboring districts, one of which sent 14 buses.
This happened -- as if a reminder were needed -- less than a week out from the election, when the heat of the campaign should be drawing record crowds.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. You've said before that you're leaving, but you and your goons can't sta
yeah, yeah, yeah.....what he failed to mention...
is that the Dems are responsible for the mortgage meltdown which is responsible for the wall street meltdown. Chris Dodd, Barney Frank...totally to blame. Blocked every attemmpt by Bush Admin and yes, McCain, to regulate fannie/freddie. Dems certainly have selective memories...convenient bouts of amnesia. lol.
ACORN
I heard on the news that ACORN also received some money in the bailout package, put in by democrats!! Guess who was involved with ACORN...
ACORN
Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now....... the nation's largest community organization of low and moderate income families working ...
Don't be fooled by the last part about working. While they have done some good for some people, they are mostly about getting votes. They have had many of their people indicted for voter fraud. THey are up again for investigation for this very same thing. Obama has thrown over $800,000 to them to help hire more people to get on the streets and coerce folks into registering to vote, even if they are already registered.
They have been found to fradulently doctor papers to appear as a registered voter, including deceased, homeless, even nonexistent names and addresses.
Acorn
HA, the truth comes out! Sen Obama's very small relationship to Acorn was in 1982 when he was involved with a group called project vote. Acorn was also loosely involved in that. However, Sen John McCain was involved with them, Acorn, just two years ago and had much praise for the group. And interestingly enough, the ONLY people that are trying to tie Obama to the group is the McCain campaign. Kind of funny how McCain works. Palin and McCain's wife complain that Obama voted not to fund the troops and yet McCain, two months after Obama turned it down (and ONLY because there was no time table written in) McCain also turns it down, because they wrote in a time table. How does his wife feel about that? They both voted NO on the same issue. McCain is sickening.
ACORN is very serious
I'm in Ohio and we're smack dab in the middle of it. I don't care who's involved with it, someone needs to do something and all Jennifer Brunner is doing is tying up the courts with her stupid appeals. Something needs to be done because if not, whoever wins the election, the other side will be able to challenge because of all the fraudulent votes cast - then we'll go through the 2000 election 100x worse!
oh-h acorn
various community organizations who hired people to sign up new voters. How s-c-a-r-y is that???
oh yea, acorn
have you seen their building. It's some funeral home or something in Louisiana that's supposed to house over 250 businesses....shaaaaa! Glen Beck's been covering it.
Regarding ACORN...
I heard this morning that ACORN may be supplying empolyees to the Census Department to conduct the census next year - anyone else hear this? Just curious because I'm just not sure how they would get away with that, seeing as though they are under investigation in nine states.
I am sure that ACORN was
probably started with the best of intentions, but there are just too many issues that have come up with them that makes me think they are a corrupt organization.
I guess they said that ACORN as well as other organizations like the NAACP were to get 1.4 million volunteers for the 2010 census. I need to do some more research on this to see actually how much they will be involved in the actual census. There involvement in any of it....I personally feel is wrong but I guess we will just have to wait and see how this plays out.
With the help of ACORN he got 59% -
ACORN
Any ideas of why ACORN changed their name to Community Organizers International?
Obama and ACORN...
http://noquarterusa.net/blog/2008/07/05/obamas-acorn/
That would have been 30 billion to ACORN of the...sm
return on the investments. That and other returns going to special interests.
Think about it. This is an investment. NOT a bailout. They need to get rid of that word.
If the dems wanted to write in 30 billion dollars to the ACORN from future profits....and others....they know this is an investment.
They need to tell the public this.
These profits need to be returned to the taxpayer, and to Social Security and pay down the national debt.
Not more special interests.
That's a big holdup of all the add ons that the dems put on, that need to be changed for the good of the people.
They need to get back closer to three pages....instead of 103 pages of earmarks for special interests.
More on the Acorn mess....
http://hotair.com/archives/2008/09/26/the-democratic-acorn-bailout/
Yes, and how about the bailout, ACORN, and
nm
Ask ACORN. They are the ones who submitted...
a voter registration in that name.
Another ACORN raid...
http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/10/07/acorn-vegas-office-raided-voter-fraud-investigation/
Where the Democrats in congress wanted a percentage of the bailout payback to go.
About time they stop letting ACORN register voters...ya think??
This is ACORN in a nutshell.....
This is a group that wants more and more people to be dependent on them. The more you depend on them, the less you do for yourself, the more dependent you become on the government.....it's like a snowball effect, and they know exactly what they are doing. LET US THINK FOR YOU should be their motto!!!

They are investigating ACORN.
except in the right-wing fringer's manifesto. People who chant this mantra cannot be taken seriously. Goudpainter is one of the few honest and sensible posters on this board. In the United States of America, we are allowed to have doubts and change our minds. She has not come out in support of Obama and is having an issue with her write-in that may or may not resolve itself in the next 19 days. The lying hypocrite slur is unfounded, uncalled for and just goes to show us all how losing an election is making some people "lose it."
This is where I blame ACORN
I think registered voters should have to prove their knowledge on the matters at hand prior to voting. Just a 5 or 10-question test to make sure they know their candidate's policies.
Do we really want our "welfare" society to determine our next President? That's what ACORN is making sure will happen.
acorn - bertha
Saw on TV last night an ACORN ad with "Bertha" and she sure didn't sound bipartisan to me. hmmmmm..
The money would only go to ACORN
on the Community Block Grants for revitalization of low-income neighborhoods and Community Service Grants to provide social services to the residents. There are other organizations that also provide these services who would be involved in the bidding. It is part of the nonprofit stimulus fund of the package. Non-profit organizations that provide social support and services are seeing increasing demands for assistance in the current economic crisis.
Can you say ACORN? talk about
x
How about te big thank-you chunk for ACORN?
That been taken out too?
What?! We should be protesting ACORN
nm
Acorn is over in Iran too?
LMAO.
Then ACORN should start by getting rid of
nm
That may be included as well...but the ACORN thing...
is something that Dodd wanted attached which has nothing to do with the average Joe...and as I said, ACORN is being sued in multiple states and is under investigation in detroit right now for voter fraud. NONE of ANY federal funds should be going to that group. Period. In my opinion. And CERTAINLY not part of a financial bailout.
ACORN is definitely an economic issue.....
When thousands of fraudulent voters are going to the polls being counted as a vote, even though they do not truly exist in the first place, and Obama gets elected due to voter fraud, which he himself has paid to help enforce, how do you not see that as affecting our economy?
The majority of those dumb enough to help with the fraud are sadly enough easily led individuals who can't think for themselves and just do what they are told. They help to put a man in office who is going to tax them even more and they don't have the sense to know it! You don't think that affects your economy?
By the way, I am Independent.. McCain does't rock my boat either but Obama makes me want to puke!
Just saw a lady on tv admitting to be with ACORN
nm
I know my ignorance is showing, but what is ACORN? nm
nm
ACORN is a community organization
since its inception. It is the latest weapon the pubs have in their arsenal of smear tactics. They are using this yet to be concluded investigation as a way to imply that Obama is actively trying to throw the election. Voter fraud is something the pubs know a thing or two about. They wrote the book, so at least this most recent tactic is coming from a place of intimate familiarity for them. What is puzzling is just how they can make voter fraud charges stick BEFORE the ballots are cast. By the way, there is a whole lot more to the subject of voter fraud than the ACORN saga. it has to do with te long-needed overhaul of election protocl that pubs have historically bristled at every time it surfaces in political rhetoric, but they do not hesitate to try to use it to try to resurrect an anemic campaign strategy. They are desperately trying to place AL their eggs in this basket to try to overturn O's momentum in the polls and on the electoral map, but time is running out and so far, those Hail Mary's haven't been scoring too many points for the Straight Talk Express.
ACORN has already admitted to fraud.
nm
LOL. I am in Ohio. ACORN is blatantly asking
nm
Haven't posted anything on ACORN until
xx
Did ya'll hear that ACORN
registered Mickey Mouse? The registration was thrown out obviously but they actually turned it in. I saw it on TV this morning. If this wasn't so serious, I might have actually chuckled at this but this is horrible. I hope they hold some of these quacks accountable.
Well, for ACORN it is about race....the more blacks
The blacks that have been truthful have spoken out and said that the corrupt group ACORN has PUSHED them to vote for Obama, telling them how much better their lives would be, etc., etc., and they will get a big 'ole check every month, courtesy of the hard working folks. And all they gotta do is sign on the dotted line. These are black people speaking out because they know something is very wrong with this picture.
Too bad the O lovers don't see anything wrong with this picture.
Obama says he was ONLY an attorney for ACORN
He conveniently forgot to state the fact that he gave ACORN 800,000 dollars to ACORN.
Like Ayers and Wright and ACORN?
xx
FBI is investigating Bama's ACORN
Of course you don't take the serious issues seriously.
The only thing you take seriously is propaganda from Obama, 'cause it's easier to let someone else do the thinking for you.
You've proven yourself to be a lying hypocrite. (I'm independent. I'm voting for Lou dobbs. I'm not for Obama.)
Pathetic.
ACORN gets bashed because they are a FRAUD!
nm
Yes, O and his friends ACORN are a fraud, but at
nm
I don't called being shipped by ACORN to
vote and told who to vote for (Obama) exactly intelligent...do you? Just the opposite..no intelligence, which is why Obama's going after all he can get from that crowd. Easily led and he knows it.
ACORN Protests around the country
They're telling people whose homes are up for foreclosure to stay in their homes even if they are taken off to jail.
A spokesperson for the group believes that everyone should get new mortgages, even those that are in homes that they can't afford. (I've been trying to find that article.)
