ACORN Voter Fraud = So Funny

~~Edits~~
I found the full version of the video I posted at the end of this post and added it, so be sure to watch it. ^^

Well folks, this is hillarious. Simply hillarious!
I just spent a good portion of my day reading about the whole voter fraud that has been found in 15 states so far. And guess what? I found ACORN mentioned in nearly every report that I read. It was even in my newspaper, the Arizona Republic. Simply awesome.

Here are a few links to the reports that I read:
On the Trail - Washington Post

CRL Testimony on ACORN's Voter Fraud - Market Watch

Vote-Fraud-Go-G0 - New York Post

Voter Fraud Watch - Fox News
(Yeah you all hate it, blah blah)

Funds Misappropriated at 2 Nonprofit Groups - New York Times

Those are just a few places I found the report on. There are many others, nearly every news station should be talking about it, but they might not because alot of them are for Obama and that would just be wrong to spread news or talk about something that makes Obama look bad. So horrible indeed!

Anyway, I lost my train of thought...Oh, got it back!
So Obama denies his involvement with ACORN, that doesn't make sense when there is evidence to say otherwise. Obama defended ACORN in court and he's given them money, quite a bit of it actually in the past.
And in turn ACORN supports Obama for predident 100%.
Obama has trained some of their employees. Obama's site denies that, ACORN's site denies that, and the Democratic party denies it also. But of course all three of them will deny it, THEY ARE THE ACCUSSED. lol Obama may not have worked for ACORN, but he sure as hell helped them out in other ways.

Here are a couple of videos from the news station CNN. I generally don't watch this station, but these clips caught my eyes and every liberal and democrat I talk to say that I really should stop quoting Fox, so here ya' go.



This video shows Obama at the end. This one is mostly about the voter registration fraud and how ACORN is behind it.

Though in my opinion, voter registration fraud and voter fraud are the SAME thing. There really isn't any real big difference. Because if you don't catch the registration fraud then it turns into actual voter fraud. And that is what this is really all about. If Obama wants to win this election then he should do so without the help of ACORN and it's phoney registered voters. Registering dead people, fictional people, and duplicates of already registered voters is a no-no.

And here is one last sign off video, because I loved it oh so much when I watched it while looking for those CNN videos. <3

Spreading the Virus - How ACORN and its Dem Allies Built the Mortgage Disaster

Another article by Stanley Kurtz.
Taken from:

I read this the other day but I was in a rush, and have since been busy so I didn't post this one. But here it is, enjoy the read. It's about Obama's involvement with ACORN. He can deny it all he wants but the fact is that he DID fund them, and he knew very well what he was doing with them.

ACORN - Bad for Office.
Obama - Bad for Office.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

TO discover the roots of to day's economic crisis, consider a tale from 1995.

That March, House Speaker Newt Gingrich was scheduled to address a meeting of county commissioners at the Washington Hilton. But, first, some 500 protesters from the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) poured into the ballroom from both the kitchen and the main entrance.

Hotel staffers who tried to block them were quickly overwhelmed by demonstrators chanting, "Nuke Newt!" and "We want Newt!" Jamming the aisles, carrying bullhorns and taunting the assembled county commissioners, demonstrators swiftly took over the head table and commandeered the microphone, sending two members of Congress scurrying.

The demonstrators' target, Gingrich, hadn't yet arrived - and his speech was cancelled. When the cancellation was announced, ACORN's foot soldiers cheered.

Editorial writers from Little Rock to Buffalo condemned ACORN's action as an affront to both civility and freedom of speech. Editorialists also pointed out that the "spending cuts" the protesters railed against were imaginary - Gingrich proposed merely to slow the growth in some welfare programs and turn control back to the states.

Yet ACORN had only just begun. Two days later, 50 to 100 of the same protesters hit their main target - a House Banking subcommittee considering changes to the Community Reinvestment Act, a law that allows groups like ACORN to force banks into making high-risk loans to low-credit customers.

The CRA's ostensible purpose is to prevent banks from discriminating against minorities. But Rep. Marge Roukema (R-NJ), who chaired the subcommittee, was worried that charges of discrimination had become an excuse for lowering credit standards. She warned that new, Democrat-proposed CRA regulations could amount to an illegal quota system.

FOR years, ACORN had combined manipulation of the CRA with intimidation-protest tactics to force banks to lower credit standards. Its crusade, with help from Democrats in Congress, to push these high-risk "subprime" loans on banks is at the root of today's economic meltdown.

When the role of ACORN and congressional Democrats in the mortgage crisis is pointed out, Democrats reply that banks subject to the CRA represent only about a quarter of the loans that led to our current troubles. In fact, the problem goes way beyond the CRA.

As ACORN ran its campaigns against local banks, it quickly hit a roadblock. Banks would tell ACORN they could afford to reduce their credit standards by only a little - since Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the federal mortgage giants, refused to buy up those risky loans for sale on the "secondary market."

That is, the CRA wasn't enough. Unless Fannie and Freddie were willing to relax their credit standards as well, local banks would never make home loans to customers with bad credit histories or with too little money for a downpayment.

So ACORN's Democratic friends in Congress moved to force Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to dispense with normal credit standards. Throughout the early '90s, they imposed ever-increasing subprime-lending quotas on Fannie and Freddie.

But then the Republicans won control of Congress - and Rep. Roukema scheduled her hearing. ACORN went into action to protect its golden goose.

IT struck as Roukema aired her concerns at that hearing. Pro testers, led by ACORN President Maud Hurd, stood up and began chanting, "CRA has got to stay!" and "Banks for greed, not for need!" The protesters then demanded the microphone.

With the hearing interrupted and the demonstrators refusing to leave, Roukema called the Capital Police, who arrested Hurd and four others for "disorderly conduct in a Capital building" - a charge carrying a penalty of a $500 fine, six months in prison or both. As the police arrived, two of the protesters menacingly approached Roukema's desk, still demanding the hearing microphone.

Requests to the Capital Police to release the activists from Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-Mass.) and Rep. Joe Kennedy (D-Mass,) failed. Then Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) showed up at the jail and refused to leave until the protesters were released; the Capital Police relented.

Meanwhile, instead of repudiating ACORN's intimidation tactics, Rep. Kennedy berated Roukema for arresting one of his constituents and accused the Republicans of preparing for "an all-out attack on CRA." He also promised to introduce legislation to expand the CRA's coverage to mortgage bankers and large credit unions.

THIS little slice of political life from 1995 had a variety of ripple effects. Above all, ACORN's intimidation tactics, and its alliance with Democrats in Congress, triumphed. Despite their 1994 takeover of Congress, Republicans' attempts to pare back the CRA were stymied.

Instead, Democrats like Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) and Reps. Kennedy and Waters allied with the Clinton administration to broaden the acceptability of risky subprime loans throughout the financial system, thus precipitating our current crisis.

ACORN had come to Congress not only to protect the CRA from GOP reforms but also to expand the reach of quota-based lending to Fannie, Freddie and beyond. By steamrolling the GOP that March, it had crushed the last potential barrier to "change."

Three months later, the Clinton administration announced a comprehensive strategy to push homeownership in America to new heights - regardless of the compromise in credit standards that the task would require. Fannie and Freddie were assigned massive subprime lending quotas, which would rise to about half of their total business by the end of the decade.

WHEN the ACORN-Democrat alliance finally succeeded in blocking Republicans from restoring fiscal sanity in 1995, the way was open to virtually unlimited lending quotas - and to a whole new way of thinking about credit standards.

Urged on by ACORN, congressional Democrats and the Clinton administration helped push tolerance for high-risk loans through every sector of the banking system - far beyond the sort of banks originally subject to the CRA.

So it was the efforts of ACORN and its Democratic allies that first spread the subprime virus from the CRA to Fannie and Freddie and thence to the entire financial system.

Soon, Democratic politicians and regulators actually began to take pride in lowered credit standards as a sign of "fairness" - and the contagion spread.

And when financial institutions across the board saw that they could make money by trading what would once have been considered junk loans, the profit motive kicked in. But the bad seed that started it all was ACORN.

HOW does Barack Obama fit into all of this? Obama has been a key ally of Chicago ACORN going back to his days as a community organizer.

Later, as a young lawyer, he offered leadership training to the activists who were forcing Chicago banks into high-risk subprime loans. And when he made it on to the boards of Chicago's Woods Fund and the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, he channeled money ACORN's way.

Obama was perfectly aware of ACORN's intimidation tactics - indeed, he oversaw a Woods Fund report that boasted of managing to fund the radical group despite its shocking behavior.

And as a lawmaker, in Illinois and in Washington, he has continued to back ACORN's leglislative agenda.

ACORN's high-pressure tactics live on. And congressional Democrats are still covering for ACORN, funneling it money and doing its legislative bidding. ACORN also continues its shady ways, using a vast network of technically separate but in fact quite interconnected organizations to evade federal laws on the politicized use of government money.

Perhaps most disturbing of all, the Obama campaign appears to have little more regard for freedom of speech than Reps. Kennedy or Waters did when they backed up ACORN's thugs in 1995. The campaign actually practices ACORN-style tactics, sending out "action wires" that call on supporters to block Obama critics from radio appearances (a tactic once applied to me) and demanding legal actions against unfriendly political advertisers.

As a presidential candidate, Obama promises a massive national-service program closely allied with the nonprofit sector. He wants to remove "barriers for smaller nonprofits to participate in government programs."

In other words, he plans a massive effort to funnel America's youth into volunteer work alongside the likes of ACORN. So Obama's favorite community organizers may soon be training your child.

ACORN's alliance with the Democratic Party is at the root of the current financial meltdown. And Barack Obama has stayed true to ACORN's ways.

Pretty soon, the folks who poured into the Washington Hilton to shut down Speaker Gingrich in 1995 may no longer need to take over the microphone. They'll be in charge of it.

America's Current Financial Crisis

Okay, first of all if you have not watched the fox news special report on who caused the financial crisis then please go watch it now. It tells you who caused it, and if you know where to look you can find that the information in the report is accurate.
Here are links to the video(6 sections):
Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6

It's roughly an hour long video all together, but worth watching. They were able to link Obama to Freddy Mac and Fannie Mae, personally. We don't need to have someone who helped cause this mess in office.

Obama is also involved with the orginization ACORN, here is the story on that:
Planting Seeds of Disaster. It's written by Stanley Kurtz, here is his bio.

I can't understand why liberal, conservative, democrat, and republicans alike can let their hate blind them so much that they can't just look at the facts, accept them for what they are, and work together to keep this nation clean and fair for the people. It's not about the government, the government is far too big now it needs to shrink. Having Obama in office will not do that. He wants to make it bigger. He wants the American people to trust the government and have the government take care of them. The people shouldn't want that. But alot of them do, because they don't want responsibility anymore. I do not understand that at all. I was raised to take responsibilty for my actions, not pawn them off on someone else. I don't like the way all this is going at all.

I'm posting this blog because more people need to realize that this man running for office is not the man for the job. He will hurt the country more than help it. He is a radical, he is against the military, he is against the war, he's voted countless times against funding our troops, he wants to raise taxes while we're in a crisis(that worked so lovely back in the great depression didn't it), and he wants the government to control everything. It's just not a good idea.

Now I don't hate Obama, I just think he is a bad choice for the office.
And all the facts put him right in the middle of this crisis cause. He was there when the deals went down and he was against McCain when he tried to pass a bill to monitor the dealings of Fanny and Freddie.
Pro government = a very bad choice. It needs to shrink, not grow. We don't need to be a socialist or a communist country.
