Obviously, some would prefer to stretch out in the back seat while others get out to push the vehicle at a time when this country needs all hands on deck.
Thats right! At least they are doing something. Who cares if they are leaking money and committing crimes. It's the intent that matters right? And their intentions are good. Who cares if they violate laws. Thats just not the point. They are trying to make a difference.

Your defense of the slime machine is noted. Thanks for adding your dead-weight to the load.

Awesome. One can always count on your positive and uplifting commentary. You should write children's books.

I have several certifications too.
As shown by your cerebral retort to the recently discussed Hardvard study confirming approx 45,000 deaths related to lack of insurance coverage, all I can say is you're consistently in denial.

When you can show why the authors' p-value should be >.05, you might start getting warm on the subject. Until then, keep howling in the wind.

Oh, and... Oops!

ACORN embezzlement was $5 million, La. attorney general says | Louisiana Politics & Government - - Louisiana Politics | State Legislature News - NOLA.com

One million, five million, when you're dealing with the kind of money ACORN is, what's the difference?
The 5 mill is just the tip of the iceberg. You know they've scammed many more millions. Thats just from one instance.

And just think ... When you tie all this together with the Democratic party, you'll end up with less political capital than our $60,000,000 spent to find only White House oral sex! Good on ya!

How many BILLIONS are we still paying Black Water for shooting civilians and child prostitution? Why do we even have them there to do the job our own military is fully capable of doing?

You forgot the whole Crusade thing. Why not throw that in there as long as we're discussing unproven allegations? If they did these things the organization should not only be defunded but dissolved and the perpetrators imprisoned. Just like ACORN.

Organizations that abide by the law will fill in the gaps. What would you rather see happen?

Does a single legal allegation preclude an organization from being on your approved list to fill in those gaps? Two? Five? How many convictions precludes an organization from serving on your approved list? Or, is it a matter of how many dollars are effected by impropriety?

Please name some of those orgs whom you would have fill those opportunistic gaps?

When it comes to using tax payer funds, its a matter of demonstrating there are controls in place to limit abuses.

So, you have no idea who you approve of or how to define who might be worthy of your approval. Certainly, you've got more in mind than this abstract, conceptual goal in mind?

What would your objection to that goal be? If any.

Are you afraid of seeing your objective through to its logical conclusion? What's next after ACORN? Or is the destruction of ACORN the only objective?

What do you think my "objective" is? And what do you think that objective's "logical conclusion" would be?

Give me a clue, professor? Should deductive reasoning be employed for your queries?

I'm a big fan of deductive reasoning. Why don't you tell me where your deductive reasoning leads you?
