Keep in mind that the whole GOP ACORN "campaign" is an effort to dupe the gullible and cover up real theft of VOTES (as opposed to registrations).

Vote Rigging and Suppression Ahead of the 2008 Election
Election Day is less than a month away, and a record-breaking voter turnout is expected in the 2008 race. But voting rights groups are warning that tens of thousands of registered voters might not be able to cast a ballot come November 4th.
Beyond the documented problems of electronic voting machines, thousands of names have been purged from the rolls in several states, including at least six swing states.
Democrats and Republicans are locked in court battles over these in a number of states across the country. While Democrats say they’re trying to prevent attempts to block votes, Republicans say they are trying to prevent voter fraud.
BBC investigative journalist Greg Palast travels to New Mexico, Michigan and Colorado to investigate how both Democrats and Republicans are accusing each other of trying to steal the election.

ACORN Response to Senator McCain's Smear Ad
Reply
October 10, 2008
"ACORN President Maude Hurd released the following statement today in response to the McCain campaign's new ad claiming that, among other things, ACORN is responsible for the mortgage crisis:
"For almost a decade, ACORN, a community organization of 400,000 families in neighborhoods across the country, has been fighting against the predatory lending practices that have robbed our members of their homes, destabilized neighborhoods, and roiled the global economy.
""In his newest ad, John McCain's campaign bizarrely claims, 'ACORN forced banks to issue risky home loans, the same types of loans that caused the financial crisis we're in today.' Nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, ACORN has worked successfully to help working class families get good home loans on fair terms from legitimate banks and has fought vigorously against predatory lenders who have ripped off families in our communities. These predatory loans caused the crisis."

Here we go, PROOF that Propeller is also covering up to protect Obama. I posted negative thoughts about Obama, there was NO spam what so ever in my post/s. But yet, Propeller removed my anti-Obama post. What a complete crock of crap that is! -

This has been the problem from day one with this candidate. The DNC failed to properly vet him when he first came out. He read one speech at the DNC rally in 04 and they all jumped on his hope and change band wagon. For the last year the media has been covering stuff up. I love when you ask about Ayers or Wright rather than asking him to explain this, they bring up a meeting McCain had with Fr. Flagger or that McCain said or did something 20 years ago. When things were brought up, McCain did something Barrack hasn't done, apologias. Barrack has never explained how he could sit in a church listening to the hate against white Americans and Jews. He's never explained how he can sit with a convicted unrepentant terrorist who belonged to a group that fire bombed many buildings and homes. Obama hasn't explained a whole lot of anything. Like how he plans to bring both sides to a table when he's never once talked with conservatives. I mean outside of the debates.

Obviously you watch a lot of Fox News and my guess would be that you have listened to Limbaugh. They brag about the millions they reach. Are the pathetic networks, MSNBC, and the NYT too much of a match for these conservative "truth" machines? Limbaugh brags he has something around 25 million listeners and Fox constantly trumpets they are #1 on cable. But they can't get the truth out? Why, because it isn't the truth and just enough of America has woken up to that fact to make this a much more interesting race than the past two presidential elections. These recent smear attempts on Obama are simply pathetic. But watch, they will somehow work. And if we get to election day and Diebold has to do their thing to maintain corporate control of America don't be surprised. But this time many Americans may not take these results sitting down.

"For more than a decade, ACORN members have held protests, released reports, and advocated for regulations to protect homeowners from predatory lenders. ACORN organizers and volunteers have been working day and night to help victims of the GOP economic meltdown to save their homes from foreclosure. In fact, ACORN has brought class action lawsuits against several predatory lenders, and has lobbied the Federal Reserve and Congress in support of regulations against predatory lending. ACORN has even been successful in convincing many lenders to treat homeowners more fairly and help families be able to make their mortgage payments and save their homes.

"Unfortunately, the Bush administration and Congressional Republicans like John McCain have blocked the sensible regulations that ACORN and others proposed that would have averted the mortgage meltdown. If John McCain thinks that community organizers caused the foreclosure crisis, he knows even less about the economy than previously thought.
"John McCain and the Republicans are desperately trying to shift the blame for the economic crisis they caused with a philosophy of deregulation and indifference to homeowners. All the grainy footage and creepy music in the world can't cancel out some simple, basic facts, and the facts about the economy are not on John McCain's side." -

So the moral of this story is McCain is failing and now his sad sack con followers (most of whom would have spit in his face a year ago because of his position on immigration reform) are flailing. It's comical, embarrassing and sad to watch cons trampling one another in a stampede of panic, fear, and silly prancing because they know their days of welfare, impunity, free rides, reckless tax cuts, cheap gas they can burn up without regard for the rest of the planet and their ability to pollute the airwaves with shout right wing radio 24/7 (we're bringing the Fairness Doctrine back, silly cons, so none of this horsecrap that's gone on since Bush got in office will ever be allowed to happen again--goodbye to the MSM as we know it). In short The Chimp and Con Crap Carnival will be SHUT DOWN. Finally. ;-(

What? You advocate shutting down free speech?
" welfare, impunity, free rides, reckless tax cuts, cheap gas "
How high do you want gas to go?
BTW, just out of curosity, why do you have the "God Warrior" as your avatar? I truly don't mean this as an attack, just curious.
