   Ron, I agree with you, that’s exactly what they’ll be saying. Let’s have Michelle (and thank you for having this blog, Michelle) lead us in
   3 … 2 … 1 … “RAAAAAACIST!!”

   But seriously, we can help the FBI by keeping the pressure on the DoJ to actually do something. Write them. Call them. (Please!)

   I seriously fear that the Democrats are going to steal this election. After they do, it’ll be out of the frying pan and straight into the fire.

   As an aside, I just got off the phone with my advisor, Dr. Collins. She agreed with my numbers (she teached me well. And believe it or not … but she’s actually a Republican!)

   It sure took these guys a while to get on the case. And that “anonymity…ongoing invesgtigation” BS is often a cover for “we don’t want to send a senior guy out to the press and make a stong statement.” If ACORN had robbed banks all over the US, you bet there would be a task force press conference every damn day until the perpetrators were caught.

    Rob, I’m going to disagree with you on this one. If ACORN had been robbing banks, the MSN would write it up thusly:

    (Chicago) 29-OCT-2008. Activists from the group ACORN today liberated money from the Chase bank located at 23 South Union Avenue. The liberation occured at 10:31 Central time.

    ACORN states that they needed the money in order to finance “get out the vote” drives in several states, including Illinois.

    Federal officials, speaking on condition of annonymity, have stated they will not investigate.

    TheOtherSide – How does ANYONE know anything without an investigation?

    Furthermore, for the last 30 years Presidential polls have been habitually off with the Democrats leading by overwhelming numbers only to lose, with room to Republicans OR if a Democrat won (minus the Perot Factor) it was never as much as Polls initially were projecting.

    Except, this last election. Bush v Kerry. Exit polls showed carry leading and that he pretty much won the race by mid morning.

    Either EVERY Democrat showed up early to vote, or these indications were indicitive of Democratic voting fraud like ACORN – and the questionable ballots were already there!

    My conclusion is that the Obama campaign willfully and intentionally defrauded the American public by systematically undermining the caucus process. These efforts produced invalid results in the caucus states and the nomination of Barack Obama as the Democratic candidate for the presidency against the will of the people. I further conclude after systematically examining large PAC contributions to the campaigns of various members of congress that the Democratic hierarchy, including Dean, Pelosi, and Clyburn, selected Obama as the nominee and pressured superdelegates to endorse him.

    The melt-down of this apparatus raises questions about the covert and perhaps illegal funding of primary election activities directed against the Hillary Clinton campaign.

    On February 21, 2008, one day before ACORN’s political action committee formally endorsed Barack Obama’s campaign against Hillary Clinton, and two weeks before the crucial March 4 Ohio primary election, the following help-wanted ad appeared, and was circulated on the Internet:

    The Clintons already know what went down, they ran against the Obama Campaign. How much are the Clinton Campaign people, contributing and cooperating with FBI Investigation?

    – TheOtherSide

    How about several times. Here’s a quick summary of some of the major indictments handed down:

    http://www.rottenacorn.com/activityMap.html

    ACORN workers have been convicted of voter fraud in Wisconsin and Colorado both, and investigations have been underway for some time in Ohio, Tennessee and Pennsylvania. Considering there have been convictions in two separate states, it’s pretty obvious that they haven’t found “nothing”.

    You may be “The Other Side”, but unless you really have no problem with voter fraud when it suits your side, you should be deeply disturbed by this as well.

He’ll let the cultists who defrauded the election for him take the fall, and he certainly wont lift a finger to help them. Wonder how they’ll feel about him then probably they’ll continue to swoon over him from their jail cells, they’re so infatuated.

    Both the Justice Dept. and the FBI have taken their sweet old time looking into election fraud. You would think after all the screaming over the last two presidential elections that they would have gotten right on it, but no, they are dragging their feet.

    Why would they do that, you ask? It’s really pretty simple. Each agency has many employees. There are Lefties in each agency working to subvert Conservatism like there are in every facet of American life.

    It’s not a “conspiracy theory”, it’s FACT. You can’t turn a wheel today without running into some Liberal Leftist Puke, whether he works in a grocery store or wears black robes.

    Having Lefties in government agencies is especially poisonous to the American way of life because you CAN’T vote them out. They STAY no matter who gets elected and keep trying to tear down America from the inside.

    Now you know why nothing was done when the NYT printed classified information. Now you know why the FBI “investigation” of ACORN will go NOWHERE, why Ohio will allow the fraudulent votes and why Rush said what he did.
