The American conservative Union

[MaggieMae]

Just vote and stay vigilant. The "Community Organizers" have their bus-loads of Illegals and Felons all ready to go for the Democrats. They have stolen many elections in the past this way and i have no doubt they will use these same tactics to rig elections all across the country in November. Just pay attention to your surroundings at your polling place and report anything that looks shady. The Democrats are now incredibly desperate which makes them even more dangerous. So just vote but stay vigilant as well.

You do know how totally ignorant it is to assume that a voter REGISTRATION is an automatic ticket to actually go to a polling place and vote, I hope.

The sad thing is though that most of the electorate won't be aware of this list or of the voting record of these people. And some are going to be or have already been clobbered in the primaries in the anti-incumbant 'throw ALL the bums out and start over' spirit. That unfortunately is the downside of the Tea Party spirit. Those who do their homework know that some do deserve to keep their jobs. Those who don't bother to check may vote aganst them just because they're there.

another ACU hero:

John Terrence "Terry" Dolan (1950 – December 28, 1986) was an American New Right political operative who was co-founder and chairman of the National Conservative Political Action Committee (NCPAC).[1]

An outspoken critic of gay rights, he was discovered to have been a closeted homosexual[2][3][4] who frequented gay bars in Washington, D.C.[5] He died from complications of AIDS, aged 36.[6] - Terry Dolan (activist) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

---

In November, he defeated Wallace by just under two points (3,500 votes) in November. Everett probably wouldn't have won if not for redistricting changes that moved most of Montgomery's black residents to the 7th District to create a minority-majority district. - Terry Everett - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia one of the most conservative members of the House. He had the highest lifetime rating from the American Conservative Union of any member of the Alabama delegation.

For those who don't bother to read the anti-conservative spiels being posted, it is important to know that NCPAC and the ACU are totally different organizations unrelated to each other.

It's about lost and wasted time and money Maggie. We all have better way's to spend our time than cleaning up after perpetual incompetence and corruption. You may support this, you may think it as constructive as paying someone to repeatedly dig holes and refill them, but the chaos is causes is destructive. Can you say destructive Maggie. Paying for fraudulent voter registration is more like pulling a pin out of a grenade, throwing the pin, hugging the grenade, and praying for the best. How about you focusing on keeping dead people and pet's from registering and voting this season, darling. Thanks. It's been a joy.

keep the information from almost all of the group’s board members and not to alert law

So you think it's only organizations like "Acorn" that manipulate voter registrations? I can't believe how dumb people are.

Unfortunately, bogus Republican voter registration outfits just don't get the press coverage, thanks to FoxNews et al.

The BRAD BLOG : Head of CA GOP Voter Registration Firm Pleads Guilty to Voter Registration Fraud
And what they didn't bother to mention in that story?...Amongst other things, the fact that Jacoby and Young Political Majors were hired by the California Republican Party to head up their voter registration efforts in the state.

Jacoby had been arrested for Voter Registration Fraud last October, smack dab during the media's orgasmic heights of last year's phony GOP ACORN "Voter Fraud" hoax, even as Fox "News" (and the other news outlets who similarly fell for the scam) was going wall-to-wall with unsupported insinuations about voter fraud by ACORN, Democrats, and Obama.

So start a Thread. You know you are missing Oprah.

I love it when the only retort is to post smileys along with some dumb comment.

I'm not the one defending large scale corruption and making excuses for it.

Sad, so sad.

Please elaborate. What does it prove again, and how???

Because the people who established this 'club,' would be turning in their graves at names like Michelle Bachmann, whose "ideas" are precisely what they originally wanted to escape.

Yet like the proverbial cloud with a silver lining, the Goldwater debacle cleared the way for the resurrection rather than the interment of the conservative movement. On November 7, 1964, just five days after the election, several of conservatism’s leading luminaries gathered to pick up the pieces and assess the movement’s future. They were determined not merely to paper over the damage, but to craft and forge a new vehicle through which the ideas and ideals articulated in the 1964 campaign could be advanced in the political arena without apology or retreat. Most thought that existing groups were limited in their appeal (such as Young Americans for Freedom) or too tarnished or discredited by controversy (such as the John Birch Society). In more immediate terms, they believed that an effective counterweight was needed to the liberal Americans for Democratic Action, which they asserted in a subsequent statement “had been decisive in establishing a climate of opinion highly favorable to liberal legislation and liberal political candidates” in 1964.

It's pure ignorance to believe that there aren't Republican operatives doing the same damn thing with voter registration. That said, hopefully, they've ALL learned their lesson (which began long ago with the Ohio debacle, by the way), and topped off by the Acorn scandal.

Seems to me Acorn has been punished already. Vindicated on the voter fraud thing as well as the bogus hooker thing. But sure, revisit if you wish and bore us all with a redo if there isn't enough current stuff for you to attack.

And of COURSE Bachman is hot. She wouldn't get so much face time if she looked like Virginia Foxx!

Acorn is a distraction from important issues. Curious that the name is repeated so often, and yet they probably helped lots more people in American than the right wingnuts who constantly bring up their name. When you do something good for all, you do something that counts. Acorn did that.


"Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy." Proverbs 31:8-9



"The magnitude of the fiscal wreckage and the severity of the economic dangers that resulted are too great to permit such an easy verdict. In the larger scheme of democratic fact and economic reality there lies a harsher judgment. In fact, it was the basic assumptions and fiscal architecture of the Reagan Revolution itself which first introduced the folly that now envelops our economic governance.

The Reagan Revolution was radical, imprudent, and arrogant. It defied the settled consensus of professional politicians and economists on its two central assumptions. It mistakenly presumed that a handful of ideologue were right and all the politicians were wrong about what the American people wanted from government." http://www.hartford-hwp.com/archives/45/279.html

'The Mother of All Messes' By Paul Craig Roberts

"Republicans are sending around the Internet a photo of a cute little boy whose T-shirt reads: “The mess in my pants is nothing compared to the mess Democrats will make of this country if they win Nov. 2nd.”

One can only wonder at the insouciance of this message. Are Republicans unaware of the amazing mess the Bush regime has made?

It is impossible to imagine a bigger mess. Republicans have us at war in two countries as a result of Republican lies and deceptions, and we might be in two more wars--Iran and Pakistan--by November. We have alienated the entire Muslim world and most of the rest.

The dollar has lost 60% of its value against the euro, and the once mighty dollar is losing its reserve currency role.

The Republicans’ policies have driven up the price of both oil and gold by 400%.

Inflation is in double digits. Employment is falling.

The Republican economy in the 21st century has been unable to create net new jobs for Americans except for low wage domestic services such as waitresses, bartenders, retail clerks and hospital orderlies." http://www.counterpunch.org/roberts07232008.html

There is no substitute for Integrity. Keep studying that Bible Midcan, that's admirable. Watch out with that mix with politics though, in relation to the corruption of principle. You might want to cut back on the Kool-Aid just a bit, it's effecting your judgement. Claimed good intention is no substitute for competence and ability. The end does not justify the means. The means is capable of disqualifying intent. You are entitled to your own opinion, not re manufacturing history or fabricated facts. No offense meant.
