So John Edwards was at the Acorn Meeting! How quaint! I wonder if Edwards discussed how only a year ago, he pocketed $500,000.00 from the Fortress Group, which was busy foreclosing on minority homeowners whose homes were destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. Can anyone imagine if Mitt Romney got paid half a million from the Fortress Group for doing nothing? The New York Times would howl for days. Where is the outrage when it is Jon Edwards? I wonder if the Ghandi like Edwards will tell the Acorn audience how important it is to lead a Spartan lifestyle and not waste money on expensive haircuts. Oops, I forgot. Edwards had his campaign contributors pay for the $200.00 haircut (not they knew they were paying for it).

#12 Post, will you come to Illinois and help start a voter registration movement. It will be hard work you know, dead people vote in Chicago.

You know the motto, vote early, vote often. Notice I am not lol.

Why is it permitted for those not producing tax revenue to vote in elections that can ultimately raise taxes on those that do? Think about it. Program users (Dem supporters) vote for the candidate who promises to give them the most. I am sure this is what the Framers had in mind….

Reunification of families through removal of restrictions and bureaucratic delays. Those who have waited in line should have their admission expedited, and those admitted on work visas should be able to keep their nuclear families in tact.(sic)

I just “love” this.

Reunification of families works in Mexico as well, particularly since they allow dual citizenship.

So let them take their “nuclear families” home with them when they are deported! No family breakups!

How appropriate — Silky and Maxine at an ACORN event, since they’re both nuts.

Unfortunately Zorro has it right on the head. They don’t care one with. I believe they want to see the conservative base gone like the wind.

Too much caffeine – I was an election judge, not supervisor. First timer with the typical 2 hr. instruction class (lots of “you’ll get the hang of it when you’ve done it”) My heart goes out to anyone that is in that spot. Earned my respect.

MNUSMCDavid – me too. First time ever, but I’ll be going back in November. Sure opened my eyes. Couldn’t believe how upset people can get when asked for either their voter registration card or drivers license.

The last presidential election I was an election judge supervisor here in MN and ACORN was blatantly trying to push illegals onto the voting roles by falsely sponsoring them. Luckily, I challenged them and became an enemy of theirs; I will be back this Octobe and November and will fight them again. I would encourage all of you who can serve as election judges to fight the same way.

GOOD!!!

William Amos said: …I argued that a repubican voter registration organization was needed to offset these kind of activities…

The country club Republicans are too busy purging conservatives from the party to care.

an ACORN convention?

Wow, that’s got to quite the show!

Do they still have ‘How to fill out bogus voter registration cards for fun and profit’ and Lying Eyes Wide Open seminars?

I hear tell Obama got his legs in an acorn operation when he first hit the streets years ago.

ACORN wants a regime change so they can get more of my money.

Well, I’m through with being intimidated by being called a racist, they can go to hell every time they open their gaping maws.

ACORN is big in Michigan, Missouri and Ohio. They M’O is primarily to go into minority districts and push votes there. And when you confront them they scream “RACISM’ for all its worth. One reason the GOP backs down when confronting them.
