PA GOP sues ACORN. Losers!
Pittsburgh-Tribune Review:

"The complaint to be filed in Commonwealth Court seeks an injunction against ACORN and the Pennsylvania Department of State to assure the Nov. 4 election is 'fair, open and honest,' according to a copy of the lawsuit handed out after a press conference this morning by GOP Chairman Robert Gleason and former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Newman.

The suit is being filed early this afternoon, Republican Party spokesman Michael Barley said. It targets alleged voter fraud in Philadelphia, and Allegheny, Delaware and Dauphin counties.

Chuck Ardo, spokesman for Democratic Gov. Ed Rendell, who oversees the Department of State, insisted 'We are going to get a fair election.'

'The other side is doing a disservice to democracy,' Ardo said. 'They are reading the tea leaves, realize they are going to lose (the presidential election) and they've started whining before the election,' Ardo said.

ACORN says it has helped 1.3 million people register to vote nationwide -- 144,000 in Pennsylvania. About 60 percent to 70 percent are 'people of color,' officials said."

Hmm . . . "people of color," that's what this is all really about.

The Repukes are suggesting anyone registered by ACORN should vote with a provisional ballot. Douche bags!

As I posted here, they haven't got a chance, they've been burried in new Democratic voters.

6. Acorn should sue a lot of people/organizations
starting with CNN for constantly pushing bogus 'election fraud' stories.

5. Now we know why
McCain and Palin have been campaigning so heavily in PA, despite their dismal poll numbers in the state.

They hope to block enough people from voting to make it competitive.

7. Posted this earlier this is from a McCain email
"ACORN! Acorn is out there and attempting to assist Obama/Biden in stealing this election. They have corrupted the registrar's office with thousands of fr audulent registrations. We are going to help CLEAN IT UP! For those who have fought for it, Freedom has a flavor the protected
shall never Know... Let us use this freedom to CLEAN THIS MESS UP! The Veteran's Coalition will be walking these districts to ensure valid registrations. If you don't want to see this election stolen, please join our brave men and women who will be hitting the streets to identify and document any shenannigans."

The are recruiting a mob to go into the hispanic areas and try to intimidate people in my opinion.

8. Maybe, while they're busy doing that they'll forget to vote.
BTW, there are certain sections of Philly I'd suggest they avoid. In fact, come to thinnk it, pretty much all of Philly they ought to avoid.
