I'm beginning to wonder if Johnnyboy is a mod's alter ego???

No one else could get away with the shit he pulls. I mean, I've seen him physically threaten people in multiple threads, hell, multiple times in this thread.

I'm sure that isn't the case at all...

I called out no one. I merely made the observation that someone was living above the clearly posted rules and there is only one of two ways that could happen.

Funny how people tell lies enough it becomes truth.

i have no doubt that acorn wanted to register voters... but when you pay, and get paid, by the card, it's not too hard to believe that you start getting lots more cards...

like the old story about the archaeologist who paid the locals $.15 per artifact to get help on a dig... it was amazing how the artifacts he pulled in kept getting smaller, and smaller...

It happens with petitioners also who are paid by sig. The registrars office finds these and people get prosecuted who are dumb enough to try and cheat.

Any evidence that a few employees over the years who cheated going for that extra few cards are a conspiracy from the top?

I mean besides fake edited and dubbed tapes of course used to take them down.

ACORN would have closed earlier , but it was a weekend and getting all that money transferred into off shore accounts had to wait till the banks were open.

Read up on the working families party and NY.
With national scrutiny on ACORN and local scrutiny on the Working Families Party, ACORN CEO Bertha Lewis quietly departed as state co-chair of the Working Families Party.

Though the group last week settled a lawsuit waged by Republican officials, it still faces a federal investigation led by the United States attorney’s office for the Southern District, which is looking into the relationship between the Working Families Party and a for-profit subsidiary, Data and Field Services, that performed campaign work for candidates the party supported.

Odd how everything Bertha Lewis is involved with has some shady side to it ?

Accusation, and from the track record so far of investigating acorn sorry but there is 0% credibility.

When you wish upon a star....

John has been vacationed multiple times. It is that under the new guidelines; the freedom of speech is not to be crippled at all.
