Did ACORN win the U.S. Senate race for Al Franken? Bill O’Reilly raised the topic last night with rightwing pundit Laura Ingraham. ACORN reportedly registered some 43,000 voters here, and O’Reilly says he’ll ask Gov. Pawlenty to look at those registrations to “see if those people actually exist.”

I love the huge crosses Ingraham.

I like how she says “we” had 400,000 registrations tossed. “We” meaning mostly ACORN themselves.

So, Bill’O is in on the “Normie wuz ROBBED!!!” meme, too?
But, hey – Bill’O issued a challenge to T-Paw; let’s see if T-Paw tosses all of his appointments to the State Supreme Court under the bus to help clear the way for The Fourth Most Corrupt Senator’s (yes, ol’ Smokescreen himself) run to replace T-Paw.

We sure have been getting a lot of bad press lately… you don’t suppose that Tpaw might be accused of mismanagement because he was unable to even have a fair election under his governing. As well as dropping a bridge and a few other massive mistakes for a guy running for President… looks to be one big FAIL there Timmy if even Billo is hacking on you..

Hmmmm ….
trust our Minnesota neighbors, who come from all political persuasions, to deal with voter registration and elections properly in Minnesota.
or
trust highly partisan Republican hacks to second-guess a process that was already thoroughly reviewed by trustworthy officials and judges, at Republican candiate Coleman’s insistence no less
hmmmm

Well, at least ACORN has records to investigate. Remember that ACORN got in trouble for handing in some registrations late, because a document scanner was broken? Why in the world did they need to scan other people’s registration information?

Of course most of the liberals don’t know what they are talking about. O’reilly asked Governor Pawlenty to look into whether the 40000 voter registrations that ACORN registered in MN were real people who were legally allowed to vote. O’reilly didn’t say they weren’t all perfectly good registrations. He did state that with all the legal action against ACORN nationwide that it might be worth looking at. Why are you liberals so against ensuring voter integrity within the system??? Maybe all the people they registered are wonderful patriots. Maybe they are not. Shouldn’t we at least take a cursory look to see if everything was on the up and up? Of course we should. All those on both sides should start using the facts and not what they want the truth to be. God Bless!

Let’s leave God out of this, shall we sarge?
Invoking the name of God won’t add to your argument. Nice try.

Most of the voter registrations by ACORN were for Democrats, or those sympathetic to Democrat candidates. They probably used tax dollars to selectively register voters for Democrats and Democrat candidates.
I remember signs on tables asking Democrats to register or with pictures of Obama and the ACORN insignia. This is very wrong.
If per chance, they registered more than 312 Democrats or others that did not qualify, what is to be done with the then possibly illegal election of Senator Frankin? With the Democrat’s 60 vote margin in the Senate and the power thereof, its it right to allow it to stand as is?

If the filed comedian had lost, the Dems would no doubt be screaming voter fraud, demanding numerous recounts. If this indeed was a fair and just election, then no one should be opposed to checking Acorn’s voter registrations.

You’re not from Minnesota, are you Zebra?
We lived through an excruciatingly thorough and lengthy count, recount and election contest, which were all completely transparent and ruled to be fair by official parties on both sides of the aisle — all the while leaving us for eight months with only one senator. The process was clean, and opening up ACORN registrations would be a big setback for Minnesota. Further, there’s no indication of actual voter fraud perpetrated by ACORN, just voter _registration_ fraud, which is entirely different and wouldn’t affect the final tally.
We’ve been through this; we’re done.
