Free the ACORN Four!

I think there is a darned good argument that vote fraud and voting intimidation cases brought by the DOJ have been political in nature vis a vis the American Center for Voting Rights (ACVR)and the Free Enterprise Coalition.

Here's one for you - Jason Torchinsky and Robin DeJarnette of the ACVR testified to the EAC on 2/1/06 and noted that Cameron Quinn was an ACVR director.

Quinn is now Chief of the DOJ's Voting Section and is on the EAC's Board of Advisors.

Anyone have any doubt which way the the DOJ is going to go in next year's election? I am just waiting for ACORN, ACT, the NAACP National Voter Fund and the AFL-CIO to be indicted on RICO charges in connection with voter fraud.

Remember Bradley Schlozman's words on 11/1/06 when the ACORN Four were indicted - "This national investigation is very much ongoing."

Oops! I forgot to mention that the Free Enterprise Coalition funded a civil RICO complaint against ACORN et al in 12/05. The ACVR used the lawsuit as evidence of vote fraud in its infamous Ohio Report submitted to the DOJ and Bob Ney's Government Administration Committee in March 2005.

Leahy or Conyers ought to ask the DOJ about how it addressed the so-called evidence of vote fraud and voter intimidation in the Ohio Report and if the report was the basis for any subsequent DOJ investigations.

So, Scholzman not only went after ACORN, he went after a high profile Democrat in Arkansas. Scholzman was put in MO for the same reason Griffrin was put in AR - to screw with elections through any means...

Sad thing is, that the DOJ is damaged goods when it comes to anything that might have the taint of politics, where the innocent have some grounds and the guily as well. This is what has happened to a once fine institution. The career attornies must be livid - there is no longer the presumptive argument the the government has good intentions when it comes to anything poltical. And just how many years will it take to fix this mess, if it can be fixed.

And so they should. The US Attorney's should be above reproach and not consigliere's for the Bush Administration. Most people have no idea how much power these little Bushie's have on your life until you get within their grasp and lust for power. I spent the first 45 years of my life ignorant of US Attorney's.

Now I have the enlightenment of the corruption and incompetence of the Republican War profiteers and their cover-up DOJ lackey's. I know why we are losing this war. Don't blame the troops. Those poor guys who no idea how their Commander in Chief has betrayed them.

Just wait until they get home and have to use the VA system. Or, the locoal US Attorney files charges against them for trying to collect benefits for PTSD like the poster showed yesterday on another article here. Yup, Bu$h Co is looking out for them alright....looking out that vets don't take away too much from his war profiteer buddies at Blackwater, KBR, Haliburton, etc.

This Administration has done so much to destroy this country in just six or so years that we will be lucky to be able to last long enough to elect a Democrat President, House and Senate to put it back together. We will be paying for Bush for many years to come.
