   They need to build an acorn halfway house, and put ankle bracelets on all these people. The moonbats can go to that house to vote and display all their code pinko signs.

   This week, the Associated Press reported that ACORN had hired as voter registration workers in Milwaukee at least seven felons convicted of crimes including cocaine possession and robbery.

   If you’re going to steal an election, it makes sense they would hire people with robbery experience.

   Carolyn Castore, state political director for the group, told the AP: “We have a lot of folks with felony records and, frankly, they need jobs.”

   I have an idea. How about throwing out all the illegal aliens and let the felons do those jobs? But the felons can NEVER vote.

   It seems to me that the fact that someone works for ACORN, makes them a felon… yes bring on RICO.

   This is exactly the type of Barney Frank philosophy that has directly led to the current mortgage crisis. That is, promoting unqualified people to places of responsibility and ownership who ultimately weaken and bring down the entire system.

    Every story I read about ACORN makes the idea more and more appealing.

    As a Wisconsinite, I can tell you our AG – JB Van Hollen – is suing to bring the state into compliance with the Government Accountability Board (GAB). Van Hollen has met fierce opposition from liberal groups, politicians and even our Governor.

    Eariler this year, the Milwaukee Police Department issued a report indicating more ballots were cast in the 2004 presidential election than there were registered voters. The 67-page report is damning, and indicates massive problems with Milwaukee’s vote system. Read the report here.

    As recently as September 29, someone was charged with election fraud in Milwaukee for putting in many fake registrations with the Community Voter Project. This is one of 49 cases:

    A Milwaukee resident was charged Monday with election fraud, the first charge in an investigation into voter registration workers who submitted fake names to the city in what a complaint says amounted to a quota system.

    According to the complaint, Endalyn Adams, 21, is accused of submitting dozens of fake names and addresses as a registration worker paid by the Community Voters Project, one of two primary groups under scrutiny.

    Adams is one of 49 cases that City of Milwaukee election officials submitted to the Milwaukee County district attorney’s office for review.

    Nearly all of those submitted were workers for the Community Voters Project or the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now.

    Milwaukee’s mayor, Tom “Milk Carton” Barrett, has said we’re supposed to give him just one name of someone who committed voter fraud. We’ve got several.

    But every level of our government – from local aldermen to the mayor to the governor – oppose voter ID laws and a check of the system for bad votes. And about 1/4 of voter records don’t match driver’s license records:

    One in five voters who registered to vote this month do not match driver’s license records, state officials said today.

    Many of those matches are likely typos or other problems, such as someone appearing under a name and a nickname – David and Dave, for instance – in different state databases. But officials said they have no hard numbers on how many mismatches can be attributed to those types of problems or something more serious.

    The state Government Accountability Board started comparing voter information to driver, death and felony records on Aug. 6. Between then and Tuesday, 22% of voters who registered did not match driver records, said Barb Hansen, project director for the board’s voter database.

    Wisconsin is a battleground state. With the exception of Milwaukee and Madison, it’s also fairly conservative-leaning. I live in Milwaukee and have seen far more McCain/Palin yard signs than Obama ones.

    Wisconsin is a battleground state in this election.

    And, according to the breakdown on FoxNews.com, John Kerry only won the state by 11,500 votes.

    One has to wonder how many of those votes were bad.

    If Obama wins by a slight margin, there should be serious questions raised about how fraud genuinely stole the election in 2008. Of course, since the “right” candidate won – that will never happen.

    Damn. Evidently good help *is* hard to find.

    In other news today, water is wet, the sky is blue, the media is in the tank for Obama, and now, life is officially a crap sandwich. Oh well. Sucks to be us.

    *out*

    But it’s all in the name of die- versi-taaaayy! Snap!

    Which liberals think is more important than success or achievement.

    What, there aren’t any Demoncratic Congressmen retiring whose seats they can win? Then ‘Freezer’ Bill Jefferson and Alcee ‘the Impeached Judge’ Hastings can charter the Congressional Felon Caucus.

    1. Secure the border.
    2. Amend the Constitution so that being born on American soil does not automatically confer citizenship.
    3. Make English the official language.
    4. Deport non-citizen law breakers.
    5. Make social services, mortgages, driver’s licenses and resident status for college available only for citizens and resident aliens.
    6. Require photo ID for voter registration and at the polling locations.

    Then the flood of illegals leaving the country should free up enough jobs for those poor felons.

    Thank God for the honest Democrats:

    The Just Say No Deal Coalition vehemently condemns the Democratic Party for forcing the American People to fund the criminal activities of ACORN.

    With the general election less than 30 days away, this is a national emergency. Our government is sponsoring fraudulent and criminal practices that implement mob-style tactics disguised as social justice strategies.

    We say, ‘enough!’ Any other private company, not-for-profit or public entity would be shut down immediately in light of such violations. Voters’ rights are a cornerstone of our Democracy. We will no longer tolerate the hijacking of our voting system like we witnessed the raping of America’s financial markets by Fannie Mae (another funding channel of ACORN).
