Conyers suggests probe of ACORN
« on: March 20, 2009, 04:19:08 PM »


Quote
In an startling partisan shift, House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers Jr. on Thursday proposed holding hearings on claims the liberal activist group ACORN engaged in a pattern of crimes ranging from voter fraud to a mob-style “protection” racket.

Mr. Conyers, Michigan Democrat and fierce partisan, suggested a congressional probe after scathing testimony about the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) during a hearing on various voting issues related to the 2008 presidential election.

Mr. Conyers called the accusations “a pretty serious matter.”

“I think that it would be something that would be worth our time,” he said during Thursday's hearing. “We've never had one person representing ACORN before the committee. ... I think in all fairness we ought to really examine it.”

Poor DU, they will implode trying to decide who to support in this one.  :-)

Something tells me this is a pitch by Conyers for a large donation from them in preparation for 2010.

I'd expect to hear that Conyers has some sort of incurable disease in the near future.  The only way I could see this (going after ACORN) happening is if Conyers is trying to make peace with God Almighty before meeting Him.

I don't give Conyers that much credit -

The best way to kill this issue is to put together a Kangaroo Court and find ACORN innocent of all charges, by stacking the hearing committee with ACORN friendly members.

The only way it would go bad is if the Democrats lose congress before such a hearing begins.

Someone needs to probe Conyers with a posthole digger suppository.  The man is a national constipation of liberal sh*t.

Oh, yeah. The fix will be in for the Democrat foot-soldiers known as ACORN.

Yes. This will be a white-wash to absolve all rumors before the great ACORN Census/Voter Fraud drive.

Don't EVER expect Conyers to do anything that would even slow 'Rat/socialist "progress".

He's as low as a snake, and slimy as whale shit.  As I used to say, "If he tries to pat you on the back, make sure you check his hand for knives first."

You know it with all that stimulus money going Acorn's way. Next will be Jessie and grease-ball Al. Don't forget Conyers crooked wife. All of the shysters will be looking for their share.
