Ärende: ACORN EXPOSED AGAIN + AGA
=================================
 ...

JF>>    fact that crimes like embezzling have occurred at the
JF>>    top as well.  People make up ACORN...

BK>>    That was a crime *AGAINST* acorn, not by Acorn.

 JF>    So what?  It was still a crime and exemplifies that
 JF>    ACORN is so corrupt it even cheats on its own people.

 Uh... John, since nothing you posted shows Acorn cheating on
 it's own people, you will have to go back to your sources to
 find something to back that up.

JF>> and ACORN's people keep getting arrested, and ACORN's
JF>> reg'forms keep getting rejected, in droves, year after
JF>> year.  None of your insipid rationalizations has changed
JF>> this bottom line.

->>  None of your insipid rationalizations has changed the bottom
->>  line that you have never told us what the percentage of
->>  rejection is.

 JF>     More sidewinding.   Regardless of what percentage, the

 Every institution ever established by human beings has an error
 rate. The percentage of error makes a difference.

 JF>     bottom line still hasn't changed.  ACORN has been
 JF>     involved in corruption year after year.

 Has it? When and where? Every single year.

BK>>   Nor how Acorn could possibly benefit from such
BK>>   defective registrations.

 JF>    Whether they benefited or not, the bottom line still
 JF>    hasn't gone away, ACORN keeps getting arrested, and

 Acorn had never been arrested that I know of, when did this
 happen?

 JF>    ACORN's reg'forms keep getting rejected, in droves, year
 JF>    after year.  Sorry.

 The local public library does voter registration. If their
 registration forms get rejected on anything like Acorn's, do we
 have the public library arrested.

 Does your local republican party do voter registrations? How
 often do their forms get rejected? How often does the republican
 party get arrested?

JF>> marching to the same drummer.  So when members of ACORN get
JF>> caught, again, and again, it is ACORN, again and again.
JF>> Sorry guys that's the way it works in the real world.
JF>> No?       Are you going to still invest...

->>  Republicans have gotten caught again and again...

 JF>     Your attempt to sidewind around ACORN corruption with

 Saying everyone has failures and errors is not sidwinding. Your
 evasion on the percentage of error is sidewinding.

 JF>     your generic poke at republicans (as if Democrats are
 JF>     above it all) isn't working. That ACORN bottom line is
 JF>     still there.

 Democrats are not raising the nonsense you are.

BK>>   so I guess the
BK>>   Republican party is corrupt. I can live with that.

 JF>    I noticed.  Yet you squirm when ACORN keeps getting
 JF>    exposed for its corruption. Ethics:  On/Off.   Evidently

 Uh... John... that's humor. And what corruption has Acorn been
 exposed for. By your own previous standards, has Acorn been shut
 down? Acorn itself charged with a crime? You can charge a
 corporation.

 JF>    all your concerns are partisan, not ethical.  As such,
 JF>    you have no platform to point the finger at anyone.

 Uh... no... your concerns are partisan. You are only willing to
 consider charges against one side.

JF>>  invest a lot of your money in a company whose 'workers'
JF>>  have gotten caught in foul play, again and again over the
JF>>  years??  Me thinks you would not be so quick with your
JF>>  excuses before entrusting that company with your money.
JF>>  Enjoy your stay on our planet.

BK>>  I agree, Haliburton should have all its contracts canceled and
BK>>  never be given another government contract.

 JF>   Then you agree that ACORN should be shut down and never
 JF>   allowed to handle voter registration ever again.   After

 Does Acorn do it under government contract? Where?

 JF>   all, your sense of ethics is consistent and transcends
 JF>   partisan concerns...right, Bob?

 Yep.

->>  Again, in toledo, conservatives gathered 45,000 signatures to
->>  recall the democratic mayor of Toledo. *FIFTY PERCENT*
->>  defective.

 JF>    According to who, Finkbeiner and his cronies?   In any

 The election board is bi-partisan. A local republican was most
 emphatic in explaining that to me some years back during a minor
 election scandal in Toledo.

 JF>    event, they now have enough valid signatures.   Oh yes,
 JF>    how does this change or exonerate ACORN and their (very,
 JF>    very) long track record?   You forgot to say.

 You forgot to say how Acorn is any more guilty of anything. I
 told you how bad the conservative group was. You have no idea
 what Acorn's error rates is, yet you blowoff a given ratio, and
 repeatedly raise a rate even you don't know.
