John McCain took aother jab at the left-wing community organizing group ACORN today at a rally in Wisconsin, referencing various complaints that the group has signed up the same would-be voters multiple times in states like Ohio.

"There are serious allegations of voter fraud in the battleground states across America. They must be investigated," he said to cheers.

ACORN, of course, claims to have signed up nearly 140,000 voters here in Florida through its drives in Orange, Broward and Miami-Dade counties -- and briefly ran into criticism over two suspicious voter registration forms that wound up in the Seminole County Election Supervisor's Office. ACORN's Florida chapter fired a staffer over it.

Obama was a member of the socialist New Party, which was dominated by ACORN. ACORN has been a part of every facet of Obama’s political career.

From the Chicago Democratic Socialists (DSA)

Quote:

“But the nature of Chicago ACORN is secondary to the inevitable dynamics of the situation. As the single 800 pound gorilla in the Chicago New Party, it doesn’t leave a lot of room for newcomers to participate except on ACORN’s terms. This will make it difficult for the New Party to have a life apart from ACORN...”

Well, this puts McCain a notch over Bush in my estimation. W had an opportunity to address voter fraud & he punted.

ROFL. We are going to see in the next few days if McCain really has the guts to win this thing.

He knows something

McCain would not take the lead on this, and name names like ACORN Frank and Dodd, unless he knew something was happening

Please let it be so

Media will headline with drop in market and then who got voted off the island last night, AIG canceling second retreat in California, then an interview with Michelle's hair dresser.

So does anyone believe Obama’s chickens are going to come home to roost?

I hope someone takes this seriously. In this Republic we have (presently) elections are the only time citizens have a direct voice in government operations. If that is corrupted or even suspected of being corrupted, we citizens have lost our Republic, perhaps for good.

Another “republican” hoping people will forget his support of the first bill that included billions to ACORN. If they did the right thing the first time they wouldn’t put themselves in this position.

Ive written to him about ACORN and my other congresspeople - always the same reply “that they took my concerns seriously HOWEVER they didnt see anything that would cause them concern” NOW all of a sudded he sees the light. F’him damn it - Im sick of the RINOs acting like they care about something only when it helps them.

Our constitution has been toilet paper to both the RINOs and the Rats for way too long. A revolution is coming I hope Freepers are prepared.

The ACORN investigation will blow up soon. The Feds have raided offices in at least 7 battleground states. Obama’s connectrions to ACORN, political and FINANCIAL is deep and long standing. Fitzgerald is in charge now.

IMO there may be RICO indictments not too far down the road.

It is said that the Clinton’s had a lot of ammo against Obama that they didn’t use in the primaries.

Clinton fingerprints all over this. Their future as party leaders and candidates is non-existent if Obama wins. They know it , and will pull out all stops to keep it from happening.

Will anyone do anything or will the corruption effect the election and the thousands of "voters" who have cast their ballot.

I fear the corruption is too great to overcome at this point.

You said “congresspeople”. Please note that the correct way to say it is:

CONGRESSMORONS

Thank you.
