First, tell me what dictionary has “disenfranchised ” – it’s a Gorism at best

Secondly, ACORN predicted the housing mess? BS, everyone in the trades or real estate saw this coming but much like a train going off a cliff it was impossible to stop.

Thirdly, ACORN is corrupt – simply because they have power. All who have power will do anything not to lose that power. – Emperor Palpatine

Today I was ASTOUNDED to learn: ACORN Foresaw the Foreclosure Crisis in 2001!!!

The grassroots group helped Oakland pass a tough anti-predatory lending law that would have halted the housing crisis before it started. Then subprime lenders started making campaign contributions in Sacramento. http://www.eastbayexpress.com/ebx/PrintFriendly?oid=1203397

I called Rep McCollum office and gave her 10 ‘attaboys” and have called my Rep and told him to get on board!

ACORN is a grass roots organization that has done wonderful things for many disenfranchised people over the years.

I think those rediculous tapes have been doctored and altered. Ever heard of entrapemnt?

ACORN is the latest fall guy for the Republi-thug culture. Next they will be going after the American Cancer Society. Throw all the Republi-thugs in jail!

Peter Roess stood up in the press conference and stated that he is a Democrat. His gubernatorial campaign finance reports say his political affiliation is DFL. Did he fail some secret DFL litmus test that excludes him from the party he claims to call home?

Also missing from almost all reporting was the fact that felons who illegally registered to vote have been prosecuted and 5 have pled guilty in Ramsey County. 18 more are charged and over 100 are under investigation – just in Ramsey. Further, there is evidence that statewide, as many as 2,800 felons not only registered to vote, but actually voted illegally in the 2008 election. Seems like significant news. Where’s the reporting? Nice work informing the public, “journalists.”

It’s about time. McCollum thinks that this is somehow tit-for-tat? Criminals are criminals and none should be buying our representation. Round them all up and throw them in jail if they break the law. That’s how it should be.

Why is it necessary for republicans to constantly lie about things? Or is it that they are just incompetent and can’t be bothered with the fact that Peter Roess is not a DFLer?

Those who are clueless about why nobody mentions that DFL “candidate” might try reading his 2008 campaign finance report:

Perhaps Minnesota Majority should enlist Ole Savior as well.

Actually, signers were former state auditor Pat Anderson (R), Representative Tom Emmer (R), Representative Marty Seifert (R), Felix Montez (R), Peter Roess (DFL), Repredentative Paul Kohls (R), Senator David Haan and Senator Mike Jungbauer (R). Funny how nobody mentions the Democrat candidate for governor. For a better recap, see here: http://www.minnesotamajority.org/Home/tabid/112/EntryID/215/Default.aspx
