I view the ACORN persecution as another act of Republican voter-suppression.
The Republican party has NEVER wanted the poor, oppressed, struggling or disenchanted to vote. Since the Republican party took over the executive branch, the justice department has been used to further the goal of voter-suppression. ACORN is just another target to achieve that goal. The tie to Obama is a bonus.

3. This is all going to have to play out.

And Obama will be our President, because the people will win this time.

Hey, media, look at this shiny thing over here, while we buttfuck you all on the sly.

It's really as simple as that.

5. Voter suppression is as old as the hills with the GOP
They have a long and nefarious history of trying to suppress the vote, sadly.

The fact that we are finally calling them on this shitty unamerican behavior is new.

:woohoo:

Obama rocks in more ways than one!
