dreamdancer 0 #1 April 6, 2009 the wfp OCTOPUS is a SHARK in WOLVES clothing that schemes to LEECH off us like SHEEP - it must be STOPPED QuoteIF the new state budget deal is a high way robbery of New York taxpayers, then the Working Families Party is driving the getaway car. Most New Yorkers know the Working Families Party, if at all, from its agitation for the left-wing cause du jour or its minor-party standing on Row E of the November ballot. But far from being a fringe also-ran, the WFP -- a decade-old joint venture of Big Labor and the radical "community organizers" of ACORN -- has leveraged a multi-tentacled, financially opaque structure to become a key power player in both the city and Albany. How opaque? It's even set up a for-profit corporation that hides its campaign expenditures from public view, in apparent contravention of state election law. The Working Families Party, in short, is not a political party in any normal sense of the term. It's a complex tool for well-funded special interests looking to raid the public treasury. http://www.nypost.com/seven/03312009/postopinion/opedcolumnists/the_wfp_octopus_162094.htmstay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ACORN is recruiting allies to support their efforts and call for a full and comprehensive solution to this crisis. Will you help them by becoming a "Home Defender" or showing your support for the ACORN Homesteaders?

jerryzflies 0 #5 May 2, 2009 QuoteVoter registration fraud, .. "Republican officials and advisers to Sen. John McCain have accused ACORN (the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now) of rampant voter-registration fraud." An accusation from a political opponent is hardly proof of anything. I guess you don't actually have anything except a double standard and hypocrisy.If you can't fix it with a hammer, the problem's electrical. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mnealtx 0 #6 May 3, 2009 QuoteAn accusation from a political opponent is hardly proof of anything. Political opponent? What race was ACORN running in? Maybe you should have gone past that first sentence in the paragraph for your quote - then you wouldn't look quite so much the fool when someone quotes the REST of it (like below). "Indeed, officials in states including Pennsylvania, Ohio, Florida, Nevada, North Carolina, Indiana and Connecticut now are looking into accusations that ACORN workers turned in thousands of fraudulent or duplicate voter-registration applications. (The Dallas Cowboys magically filled out voter registration forms in Nevada, for example.)" Nevada 2008 On October 6, a criminal investigator with the Nevada Secretary of State filed a search-warrant affidavit stating that ACORN workers used “fictitious and false information” on voter registration applications. Ohio 2008 Election officials in Ohio’s most populous county asked a prosecutor Monday to investigate alleged voter-registration fraud. Washington State 2007 The King County Prosecutor’s Office filed criminal charges last year against seven ACORN workers accused of submitting 1,762 fraudulent voter registrations to the state in 2006.Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim.

You're big into the guilty until proven innocent bit, aren't you? There was a thread back in October that debunked just about all of these claims. You even participated.If you can't fix it with a hammer, the problem's electrical. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
