Next year. ACORN was supposed to handle it, instead of the census dept(probably a constitution violation)but now they census has severed ties with ACORN due to the scandal they are involved in. SEIU has close ties to ACORN and now they are supposed to be involved in the census next year. Hopefully we can stop that also.

Won't work Marky, you're going down in the Primary.

I severely doubt that. Who will defeat him? Jim Oberweis?

They have people going around checking on houses that are hard to find(backwoods areas), that way when the census starts they will be less likely to miss anyone. Most likely the people in that area didn’t like any government people snooping around(stills, pot etc).

Why does the government have to hire people to recruit people to sign up to vite? I understand some of the need 40 years ago, but now? Don’t the states have people to do that at the local registrar’s office. Don’t the various parties have volunteers? If people cannot figure out how to register, then maybe they shouldn’t be voting.

I only read headlines, and then comment. It saves time.

So far, I’m impressed with Teddy’s replacement.

I have no intention of giving them anything except how many people live here. End of story. This will go down in history as the most inaccurate census ever thanks to the usurper in the WH.

The Service Employees International Union was founded by Wade Rathke, who also founded ACORN. These two organization have intermingled records!

That's an odd way to look at it. If Biden comes out against Cap and Trade, I'm supposed to not agree with him?

Those are invalid comparisons because Biden and Obama will never appease conservatives.

Kirk is clearly trying to save his ass. The man is beyond a RINO - he is more liberal than most Democrats in Congress. If you can't see this for what it is, then you have issues. You know if Kirk gets elected all of this will disappear and he'll go back to being a leftist.

I don't care what it is. He wants the SEIU cut down so I say good. That is all I said.

You know if Kirk gets elected all of this will disappear and he'll go back to being a leftist.

So dont' vote for him then. Right now the issue and the OP is about taking down the SEIU. Kirk wants to do that, great. Barney Frank wants to do that, great. Anyone wants to bring Andy Stern down gets my support while they do it. Attacking them on other stuff can wait until the other stuff is the topic.

That would suggest the good position is an accident on Kirk’s part. I’d say it’s a deliberate play for conservative support.

Do they really think there a shoo in come 2010 and 2012.

Well yes. Years of Bummer and company will produce a public who would elect a ham sandwich as long as it is not a Democrat.

BTW, should any Kirk apologists later cite Kirk's actions on ACORN as “proof” that he's “better than the Democrat”, please look where his RAT opponents stand on this issue. Both likely RAT nominee Alexi Giannoulias and lesser known RAT Senate candidate David Hoffman have gone on record saying they want to defend ACORN and believe the government should sever all ties with ACORN related activities. Cheryl Jackson is the lone Senate candidate from Illinois who has publicly said she'd vote against defunding ACORN, and that's because he base is black voters. Most Democrats are not crazy enough to defend ACORN in public:

Alexi Giannoulias, Democrat: De-fund ACORN. “State Treasurer Giannoulias would have voted with the majority of the U.S. Senate to defund ACORN,” said spokesman Tom Bowen. “He favors cutting off funding for ACORN, as he believes that all credible allegations of misspent taxpayer funds must be taken seriously”

So we have another issue where there's virtually no difference between Kirk and his likely RAT opposition. I believe Marky Mark and Alexi have about the same level of sincerity here in their “commitment” to keeping ACORN out of the government, which is none. It's an election year gimmick and both the RINOs and the RATs will go back to slavishly doing whatever Obama tells them to, once they get elected for a full six year term.
