dream on. what have I missed this week, how many teaparty members have been arrested for dropping bricks through a congressmen's office and how does someone drop a brick through an office? Did they put in down the air conditioning vent???
If you are referring to the arrest in Denver, that is questionable at best..

SEIU and Black Panther thugs, with weapons, stationed at polling places. You have to stand back and look at the big picture.....

The Progressives know they have shot themselves in the foot for ramming this mess down the peoples throats. They have something tricky up their sleeves to keep the power in the government. They know the push to go back to Constitutional law and not law set by president, is a reality if they loose the House and Senate. Obama won't be able to stop it alone. The House and Senate can pass vetoed bills.


As Joseph Stalin said, those who vote decide nothing. Those who count the votes decide everything.

Corruption has no limits! Buyer beware!
Again?

Yeah, not so much.

Progressives are generally quite happy with the results of the Dems' efforts regarding healthcare. For many progressives who are unhappy, it has nothing to do with anyone knowing that "they've shot themselves in the foot" (they know the opposite). They're unhappy because of the absence of a public option (ie they wanted a more progressive bill).

It's Republicans who've shot themselves in the collective foot by claiming that giving millions of Americans access to health insurance is "Armageddon" (dramatic much? ), by whining and crying like children and claiming that they now refuse to cooperate with Democratic lawmakers for the rest of the year (how is this any different than the first part of the year? ), as well as the decision for many of them to campaign on "repeal and replace" (which is impossible for them to achieve without unprecedented mid-term election results, giving them a 2/3 majority in the House).

Republicans lost this (important) fight. They need to deal with it.

Default DCCC fundraising exceeds expectations!

Received today from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee:

"In the two weeks since health insurance reform became the law of the land, you helped House Democrats raise an astounding $2 million - that's more than a million over our original goal."

The default answer to anything that goes wrong for Republicans seem to be to blame ACORN. Reminds me of the Republican that lost and claimed that ACORN stole the election despite the group not having a presence in his district.


So you absoutely don't feel that Acorn has ever committed any wrong doings, something wrong with you.Sure they are a real nice organization, that are just trying to help and at the same time, have been know for criminal ways..

Sure love these people that can't see through ACORN. They may have started out innocently with ideas to help but turned into one of the worst and most outragious organizations ever to be part of our country. You see this, I know this, but there are some who are just blind!!!

About the same as the number of ACORN staff who have ever been arrested for; 1. falsifying voting registrations, 2. Helping "pimps and hos" to hide their income.

I'll repeat this since I haven't posted it in more than a year, but let's review the VOTING REGISTRATION LAWS in the US.

Let's say that YOU, or I, or ACORN, or the local REPUBLICAN PARTY, hire some casual workers to go register voters. Said workers come back with a stack of voter registration cards.

You pay them the "piece work rate" for said cards.

You notice that a lot of the cards APPEAR TO YOU to be fake, i.e; in ALPHABETICAL ORDER, obviously fake names-M. Mouse, D. Duck, momonkey, etc.

Or let's say that you notice that a lot of the cards checked the "wrong" (in your opinion) party affiliation.

You have a choice to make, you can do one of the following;

A. Turn in all cards to the county voter registrar/county clerk. Possibly segregate and annotate that you consider some of the cards as suspect.

B. DECIDE which cards you will destroy and which you will turn in.

If you do A (as ACORN did) you have done NOTHING WRONG, despite what Hannity and others have been telling the morons who tune into him for the last 3 years.

If you do B (as the REPUBLICAN PARTY IN FL. did) you have VIOLATED FEDERAL ELECTION LAWS.

In other words kiddies, ACORN did NOTHING WRONG, had they done otherwise, like the Rs did, THEN, AND ONLY THEN would they have violated the law.

Facts are a wonderful thing to have on your side.

you know good and well, if someone is registering as Mickey mouse for starters that registration should be reported. Your arguments are way off base.
