For casual readers and/or those too young to know why this matters…… They have been preparing and practicing with all this Voter Registration Fraud to inflate numbers in Liberal enclaves that have lost population (BLUE-ism trends) and purposefully, and with malice of forethought, work their usual laziness and go out of their way to AVOID folks in other areas to keep the Census count down. Why? Federal Dollar distribution (read: REdistribution, of course) formulas – so that they can continue to bolster Socialist Democrat enclaves (like Detroit, as one, with population dwindling for decades) with funds they could not otherwise make up (read: TAX THEIR OWN CITIZENS FOR) for themselves. Not even the Canadian Socialist Governer Granholm can keep the Detroit Schools from having to finally endure scrutiny and REFORMS to stop a complete collapse. The Democrat/Liberal answer is always Extortion, pure and simple (to raise taxes or avoid/enact legislation) to keep their Socialist Society dreams afloat.

Art is 100% correct that we have FAILED to do more in rooting out the money flow (though, tough to stop it when it flows directly from the Fed to ACORN) by going at these groups. Goes back to all the PLAYING TOO NICE (failings of the McLame types in the Party (Republicans must be the Party of NO [to Bigger Govt.] not the Party of SLOW[er Liberal Incremental-ism] ).

Pass throughs are federal funds appropriated back to states and re-appropriated by state legislatures. I’ll write something about it in a day or two. Look for, “Feeding the Hand That Bites You.”

Of course, if we had a legitimate government instead of the Chicago Junta, the USAG would be bringing charges under RICO.

Do you think that saying “Republicans accuse ACORN of voter fraud,” and stopping there without mentioning that law enforcement authorities in several states have arrested, indicted, or investigated ACORN personnel concerning voter fraud, accurately conveys to the reader the probability that ACORN is involved in voter fraud? Or do think it misleads the reader into thinking that “accusations of voter fraud against ACORN” amount to a partisan squabble? And if it’s the latter, do you think that Ms. Yen intended to mislead her readers, or do you think she is ignorant of the many arrests, indictments, etc., of ACORN over the past few years, the most recent just this Wednesday?

So when Hope NChange, er, I mean Yen, says it is Republican accusations of voter fraud, we don’t see any Dems challenging ACORN so it is true. And that is the problem, why are they not doing what is right for the people instead of what is right for them to get reelected? [Smacks self in forehead] Oh, look who we are talking about, nevermind.

It’s a bold hope that they’ll continue to do so.

In the meantime, I count on the Ratchet Mechanism™.

With a very heavy heart.

Eventually, enough people catch on…just look at the numbers: Fox gets a much larger audience for O’Reilly and Beck than MSNBC does for Her Olbermann. The papers are losing out to the Internet. Not only because of people’s changing habits; but also because people are learning that there are valuable, and honest, sites that report the facts without tremendous spin.

It will still take time…but the public moves closer every day.

Fournier gets attacked from the left and the right.

Just write to him. It will work. Be professional.
