The majority of the time yes. If there is any organization out to make sure Republican's will never win again. I truly support them if they are doing it lawfully and legally.

The Haliburton thing is total different story. You have an actual VP that is associated with them on the record. As far as ACORN is concerned they only helped Obama win.

The Repubs continue to Lie, Cry, Whine and find any dirt they can to discredit 44. Sounds like they are already in the gutter.

That's a total cop out!

They put their lives at risk and their lives are still at risk. The goon squad is trying to figure a way to nuetralize them at this very moment. We should all stand behind this couple and thank them for their courage and tenacity to go after ACORN.
Well said.

It really is a shame how you are making excuses for corruption , Thanks though for showing what democrats really care about
It's all for the greater good. I think that's what the Soviets said about dissidents sent to work camps when they got in the way of equality for all under communism.

"[T]he majority of the funding for ACORN took place under the executive guidance of none other than George W, according to the Congressional record. Every year during the Bush administration, ACORN Housing Corporation received more than $1 million (from 2001, when George Bush became president, until 2008, the Bush administration provided over $13 million to ACORN), for such things as housing counseling and working to prevent predatory lending in low-income communities."

ACORN is a new type of liberal agency. Much like welfare milkers, they have learned to game the system. Doesn't matter whether it's legal or not, if you have the right connections up top.

I say that the officers should be tried for racketeering.

Merely pointing out the hypocrisy and the obvious fact that Republicans are very much tied to ACORN funding. No outrage during the Bush terms though. I wonder why.

People keep saying do not throw out the good with the bad. Does it not say something when 5 different locations across the country, not just a state have all done the same things? Just sayin. And Eddie, may I personally say thank you my friend. Thank you for fighting for this country and Thank you for the sacrifices you have made for this country and its people.
