In addition, this was not posted on the federal BizOps website for government contracts, in addition, the application/bid was received more than 30 days after the closure of the bidding!

So how did ACORN get away with a "NO-BID" contract?

Political Pay Back By hussein!

I filed a Department of Justice complaint against this, as I am a registered government Contractor and was denied the opportunity to bid for this contract, even though, I hold more preferences, that ACORN does, i.e., 100% disabled, Small and Emerging Business, Viet Nam Era Vet, SBA approved business and minority owned (disabled veteran).

Let's see what the DOJ will do with my complaint! If most instances, when someone of my licensing files a protest,the contract is withdrawn completely and re-bid.

Knowing this was political pay back, I don't expect them to live up to the Federal Laws.

Also, why is ACORN entering the GPS location of every home it visits into a national government database?

That is a violation of the Constitution!

The Constitution, requires that Congress, repeat Congress, conduct a census every ten years, not hussein!

ACORN did not pay for these votes, the taxpayers did. So why should ACORN care about their low efficiencey in in producing voters for Obama? ACORN is funded by government grants and by tax-exempt contributions. Who pays the bulk of taxes? No Obama supporters, they pay maybe 20% at most.

So the last laugh is on the conservatives who unwittingly funded ACORN and their opponents.

Journalist Smith makes light of ACORN as the gang that couldn't shoot straight and thinks they haven't evolved in Nevada to Chicago level skills of counting dead people. Give them time I say.

There must be more brain dead like journalist Smith to help locate the graves.

Makes sense that they would only keep people employed if they were hitting their numbers. PLUS: getting 23k more people to vote is NO easy task. That's a pretty huge number. And wasn't Nevada a big deal this election cycle? I bet those 23k helped someone a whole hell of a lot.... oh perhaps it wasn't the person you wanted it to help. That must be what this is about. LAME.

Doesn't the right to vote mean anything to Conservatives?

You refer to ACORN's efforts as "ineffective". Then you report that 23,186 voted. Chances are, a very large percentage voted Democratic. Dina Titus beat Jon Porter by 20,000 votes.

Sounds pretty "effective" to me!

David Fanning wrote on May 05, 2009 08:47 PM: Your are right your column on ACORN is hilarious. You do admit that what they did was illegal but ineffective, so hilarious. I wonder what your response would have been if a Republican operative organization had done the same thing in the last election with the same ineffective results. I bet you would have been all over them anyway and wouldn't have been amused. What's hilarous is your incredible bias as a reporter.

Given the "ability" of our Secretary of State I doubt we will get any justice from the flagrant felonies. President Urkel will make sure that these scumbags are one the street in no time. He needs them to all get jobs running the 2010 census.
