ACORN CEO, and Obama friend, Bertha Lewis, promotes Socialism and calls the Tea Party racist for protesting against it.  Need we say more about what the real motives are of ACORN, Obama, and the liberals who have hijacked the Democrat Party?

Poll: American less respected under Obama

1.  A majority of Americans say the United States is less respected in the world than it was two years ago and think President Obama and other Democrats fall short of Republicans on the issue of national security, a new poll finds.

The Democracy Corps-Third Way survey released Monday finds that by a 10-point margin — 51 percent to 41 percent — Americans think the standing of the U.S. dropped during the first 13 months of Mr. Obama’s presidency.

“This is surprising, given the global acclaim and Nobel peace prize that flowed to the new president after he took office,” said pollsters for the liberal-leaning organizations.

On the national security front, a massive gap has emerged, with 50 percent of likely voters saying Republicans would likely do a better job than Democrats, a 14-point swing since May. Thirty-three percent favored Democrats.

“The erosion since May is especially strong among women, and among independents, who now favor Republicans on this question by a 56 to 20 percent margin,” the pollsters said in their findings.

Wisconsin AG charges ACORN with voter fraud

2.  Five Wisconsin residents have been charged with criminal counts of voter fraud in the November 2008 general election, state Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen announced today.

Two of those charged, Maria Miles and Kevin Clancy, are workers for the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN), the embattled community group.

“The complaint alleges that Miles and Clancy submitted multiple voter registration applications for the same individuals, and also were part of a scheme in which they and other (special registration deputies) registered each other to vote multiple times in order to meet voter registration quotas imposed by ACORN,” Van Hollen states in the release.
Dan Rather: Articulate Obama couldn’t sell watermelons

3. Dan Rather:  Part of the undertow in the coming election is going to be President Obama’s leadership. And the Republicans will make a case and a lot of independents will buy this argument. “Listen he just hasn’t been, look at the health care bill. It was his number one priority. It took him forever to get it through and he had to compromise it to death.” And a version of, “Listen he’s a nice person, he’s very articulate” this is what’s been used against him, “but he couldn’t sell watermelons if it, you gave him the state troopers to flag down the traffic.”

One of the big stories of the day, following Obama’s speech, was over Congressman Joe Wilson calling Obama a liar.  Democrat were quick to show outrage and calling Wilson’s comment, “disrespectful”.  These Democrats seem to have short memories and fail to recall their heckling of President Bush during his 2006 State of the Union address.  Or, Nancy Pelosi calling Bush a moron, idiot, and liar.  Or, Harry Reid calling Bush a liar.  The list of disrespectful Democrats goes on.  Personally, I’m proud of Congressman Joe Wilson for playing by the “Democrats’ rules”.  It’s about time we become vocal.  It’s about time we start employing the same tactics that the Democrats use.

Liberal groups are now organizing and raising money for Congressman Joe Wilson’s opponent.  In 24 hours, they have raised $250K for Wilson’s opponent.  I call on my readers to help support Congressman Wilson’s campaign by contributing to this modern day Paul Revere.  You can donate by going to JoeWilsonForCongress.com.

I don’t know if any of you had the opportunity to catch Glenn Beck today, but his show was shocking.  In an undercover video, two ACORN women were shown giving instructions to undercover citizens on how to skirt tax laws.  But it doesn’t stop there.  The undercover citizens told these ACORN workers that they wanted to set up an undercover prostitution ring with illegal aliens, some which included 12-13 year old girls.  Rather than these ACORN activists alerting the police, they assisted by providing them information on how to file their taxes, to purchase a home to run the operation, and how not to report the activity.  Even more disturbing was the fact that these ACORN activist didn’t give second thought that these two individuals were going to use underaged girls.  Is there something wrong with this picture?  I believe so, and yet, Obama has praised this organization and has promised to have them work closely with his administration.  It’s high-time that all funding for ACORN be cut and that all ties to the government be severed.  ACORN is not improving the inner-city or the lives of its residents when they, not only allow, but help to bring illegal activity into it.
