It really is.

My side didn't know what your side knew so we have nothing to feel guilty about.

Because until BHO came along...who new what a community organizer was unless you were someone who was in need of organization..(or something like that) And..remember...Bush led the march for home ownership..especially for minorities..as a liberal..are you saying that you thought that was a bad thing???

Nope.

They are just another group who played the system, promised the moon, couldn't deliver, and who we probably don't need anyway.

I'd appreciate it if you didn't try and stereotype me. I'm not a believer in welfare, for starters, and lean toward liberal libertarianism. And people who can't afford to pay for a home have no business buying one. Seems like most banks, regardless of what the politics of the day were pushing, should have known this fundamental fact.

But regardless, the the thread title, as usual for the OP, is a gross misrepresentation, so why don't you call him on it?

I will agree that the Bush admin, Congress..both Dem controlled and GOP controlled all funded these people. I will also agree that Obama has some very tangled ties with ACORN who is partners with SEIU who has a seat at the table in the White House according to Obama..so I think someone has some explaining to do..to all of us..Dems GOP and Inde's..don't you think?? All these ties are a little too cozy for my liking..

Default " Perhaps Now "..... A Saving Grace For America.....

Greeting's,

It most certainly appears that an incredible number of American Citizens are most... " remarkably and effectively" ... beginning to exert
concerted & overwhelming "pressure"... upon many of our elected representatives..... A "Unified Pressure" for change directed towards those politicians whom desire to continue in the nationally destructive
vein of "Politics As Usual In Washington D.C."... Yes !!! ...A Unified pressure form millions of extremely concerned "American Patriots"...

An accurate account of America's unparalled past history reminds us of many prime examples of dynamic outcomes resulting from the unprecedented intervention of those multitudes of concerned citizens...
knowns as "American Patriot's"..... in times of impending national crisis.

The "Winds Of Change" have emphatically began to "Roar"..... The American People are truly beginning to "Take Notice" & "Take Action"...

The debacle known as Acorn, much of the ineffective and inexperienced White House Administration, and other self serving & anti-citizen career politicians may just be the beginning stages of the present...... and most encouraging efforts by loyal Americans to effectively "Fix" a terribly broken
and and abused political system.....

True "Democracy In Action" is indeed a wonderful site to behold..... ..... and thank goodness their are ample numbers of "American Patriot's " remaining in this nation who are most willing to once again "effectively" take up the virtuous cause for the presevation of our beloved America..... and the ideals and principals of government set forth by the "Founding Fathers" ..................

There is much wisdom to be found within the words of our friend dcsldcd................. Thank You L. F.

This quote has never made sense to me.
If the videos are doctored, edited and the story is fabricated, why were the workers fired? The poor dears were obviously the victims of a conspiracy. It makes no sense to fire people who are guilty of nothing. The firing and her statement that she cannot defend the workers actions does not jibe with her next statement.

If these tapes are false or the story fabricated they would, and SHOULD be standing by their workers. They were fired because what the tapes portray is true, or the workers were sacrificed in the hopes it would help this go away. If that's the case, that's no kind of organization that anyone I know would want to work for.
