ACORN FELONS

But, why can't we use felons to register their friends?
ACORN

I used to cite some egregious decision handed down by and activist judge,  and ask "who appointed this slug to the federal bench?" After about fifty of them,  it got boring since Carter and Clinton  are responsible for oh, about 99% of them.  So here's a new quiz. 

I'll give you s few lines from the "police blotter," about current ACORN (AKA Obama Storm Troopers) activity, and you guess which state is involved.  The map above shows states where ACORN fraud was discovered in the '06 elections, so that's your hint.


The staff of the state Government Accountability Board issued an opinion April 3 that convicted felons are not allowed to serve as registration workers.

The City of _________ elections office was unaware of the opinion and interpreted state law in the area to apply only to those felons still on probation or parole.

ACORN interpreted the law the same way, Castore told the AP. Nowhere in materials provided by state election officials did it say that felons were barred from registering voters, she said.

Democrat suing his own party says it's 'like they're in cahoots'

Berg is frustrated, not only with his own party's leadership for allegedly not investigating Obama's background, but also with the major news outlets for failing as well.

"I should also be suing the national media and their disgrace for not properly vetting, inspecting or checking on Barack Obama.

"Look what they're doing to Governor Palin: They're opening up her closet doors, they're going through everything personal, but no one has ever gone after Obama. It doesn't make sense," Berg said. [Mo Funny]

Sarah Palin - Pure a Snow

Sarah's Income Tax
She may be the most reputable politicain in America


Obama's story does not pass muster
The IRS filings, covering 2006 and 2007, bolster the Republican vice-presidential candidate’s frequent assertions about her family’s membership in the middle class, albeit in the upper end of the class. In those two years, Sarah Palin, who was elected Alaska’s governor in 2006, and her husband, Todd, supported four children on an average annual income of $147,000 from an eclectic array of far outside-the-beltway sources ranging from fish sales to government entitlement checks.
Now compare this to Obama's story. 
EIGHT YEARS ago Barack Obama was thoroughly humiliated at the Democratic Convention in Los Angeles. He had recently lost a congressional primary in Chicago, and both his political and personal bank accounts were empty. The rental car company rejected his credit card. He failed to get hold of a floor pass and ended up watching the proceedings on a big screen in a car park. He returned home with his tail between his legs before the week was out.
But wait, there's more.  Obama's 2000 tax return declares a combined income of $240,505. We've all felt the pain f squeaking by on a quarter-mil a year, right?  And not being able to rent a car from Budget, right? But Obama is magical.  Consider. Seven years prior, with a subsistence income, the Obama's  "bought a condominium in Hyde Park for $277,500, paying about $111,000 as a down payment, according to county real estate records."

Yup plunked down $111,000 cash  in 1993, and couldn't rent a car in 2000.

Which one of these two would you buy a car from?

The New Plumbers
The trickle going up my leg?

How disappointing. I never once thought of juxtaposing "trickle-down" economics with "trickle-up," but what a wonderful metaphor.  But, horry clap!  The left have adopted that chimera as a new economic cornerstone!
Whenever I hear anyone use the expression, "trickle-down economics," I want to reply — though I rarely get the chance to, as it is mainly on TV or in the papers that one hears or reads the people who are using it — "As opposed to what? Trickle-up economics?" I had thought up until recently that this would be, if I had ever got to use it in conversation, a pretty devastating rejoinder, since — pardon me for pointing out what I had also thought to be pretty obvious — things that trickle only ever trickle in the downwards direction. You may not like it, but they do. It’s a well-known fact. To trickle up they would have to defy the laws of gravity. As an old joke puts it, you only need to know two things to be a plumber. They are (1) s*** runs downhill, and (2) payday’s on Friday.

But ...

Headlines in both the Washington Post and The New York Times refer to the big Wall Street bailout by the federal government in terms of "trickling up" while on the progressive website Alternet Joshua Holland writes on "Trickle-Up: What a Progressive Bailout Would Look Like."

Imagine for a moment that we lived in a country with good, progressive governance. We wouldn’t find ourselves in our current pickle, but if we did, what might a real bailout plan based on just a little bit of economic justice look like? In short, it would be based on trickle-up economics. We’d bail out homeowners whose mortgages are on the bubble, and by doing so, the cash we were injecting into the economy would trickle up to ailing financial institutions.
