Second, to my knowledge, no one has ever presented evidence of a single vote cast based on a bogus registration submitted by ACORN, ie, there is no evidence that ACORN activity has ever altered the outcome of an election. ACORN is required by law to submit every registration card it collects (for the law to be otherwise would be an invitation to partisan political activity). It reviews and submits in separate flagged batches those registrations it believes may be problematic, and then terminates and turns over to authorities the lawbreakers among its canvassers. Virtually every single prosecution of an ACORN voter registration worker has been aided by information proactively provided by ACORN.

Whether or not this recent scandal is real or contrived, it is only one thing in a laundry list of violations attributed to ACORN. Last election, they were clearly committing voter fraud with bogus voter registrations and this fact is undeniable. They should lose their funding.

P.S. I always find it amusing when libs call conservatives names like wing nuts. Have you ever seen a liberal rally? They are filled with the dregs of society. Liberals own the rights to the term wing nuts. Even the supposed sane ones have no grounding in logic. Logic and liberalism are complete opposites so if we want to talk about crazy ideas and the wing nuts who support them, you have to look at the liberals. All they care about is good intentions and the thing they abhor the most is personal responsibility. Just don’t try to logically understand them. Just look at their good intentions, because in the end, they are just paving one more mile on that road to hell.

Any man who is under 30, and is not a liberal, has not heart; and any man who is over 30, and is not a conservative, has no brains. -Winston Churchill

The time has come for the “Nuclear Option” — get rid of the filibuster, go ahead and pass bills with a mere 59 votes in the Senate, and tell Beck and Dick Armey to come up with something better or shut up.

This is disgusting and infuriating. The unedited tapes have not been released as far as I know, and I have heard a direct response from only one employee, who stated that her outrageous responses were to play along with what was obviously a prank of some sort. The guy was wearing a suit and a fur cape for crying out loud, with a lacquered walking stick. That’s not an undercover disguise, it’s a freaking costume. These people, who were acting with clear malice and with no advance evidence of wrongdoing in these programs expect us to take them at their edited word. The idea that two white people would walk into an ACORN office in a low income neighborhood dressed as they were, and immediately and without prompting give detailed descriptions of their international child smuggling and abuse operation to complete strangers in the guise of seeking homebuying and tax advice is beyond absurd. At least one ACORN employee has declared that her responses were in recognition of this absurdity.

The vast majority of ACORN employees that they tried this on refused them service; here in Philadelphia they called the police. The three offices that they visited where the tapes give the impression that the staff are aiding them in their illegal activity are edited. I would not be in the least surprised if those employees also saw right through this ridiculously thin scheme and were also just playing along to see where it went.

If I’m mistaken and complete and unedited videos are available for viewing online, I’d love to take a look. But the executive response has been appropriate, swift and thorough. That Democrats are aiding and abetting Republicans in this scheme when the full evidence hasn’t even been made available makes me sick to my stomach.
