Obama’s Ohio Lackey Brunner Triumphs, Good Man Boehner Fails

This is what conservatives have to prepare themselves to expect on a continuous basis. That voter fraud perpetuated by Obama’s ACORN is sweeping the country like a virulent virus is beyond dispute. But any attempts to investigate, or attempts such as John Boehner’s efforts to cut off funding to this band of miscreants are squashed. Rule of law means nothing to the left. If it did, we wouldn’t have a problem with illegal immigration, sanctuary cities or upstart mayors sanctioning gay marriage.
It is going to get worse under Obama, so you can expect that lawsuits like Phil Berg’s will be buried. It doesn’t matter to the Progressive pukes if their Messiah has legitimate claim to citizenship, no more than Wright, Ayers and the sundry other radical detritus he is tied with mattered to them. He is surrounded by the men who are responsible for the Fannie Mae debacle and the media whistles Dixie. None of it matters.

High court rejects GOP bid in Ohio voting dispute

The Supreme Court is siding with Ohio’s top elections official in a dispute with the state Republican Party over voter registrations.

The justices on Friday overruled a federal appeals court that had ordered Ohio’s top elections official to do more to help counties verify voter eligibility.

Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner, a Democrat, faced a deadline of Friday to set up a system to provide local officials with names of newly registered voters whose driver’s license numbers or Social Security numbers on voter registration forms don’t match records in other government databases.

Frank rebuffs GOP calls for ACORN hearings

House Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank (D-Mass.) on Wednesday dismissed GOP calls for immediate hearings regarding a grassroots group’s alleged abuse of government funds as a political tactic to help John McCain.

His comments come in response to an Oct. 14 letter, signed by Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio), Financial Services ranking member Spencer Bachus (R-Ala.) and Republican members of the committee, requesting that Frank call hearings on the activities of the Association of Community Organizers for Reform Now (ACORN) and the group’s alleged ties to fraudulent voter registration.

“Recent press accounts have listed allegations of voter fraud in Ohio, Nevada and Florida among others,” the letter said. “Given the reliance of ACORN on millions of dollars of federal funding from the housing GSE’s [sic] and grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development, it is imperative that the Financial Services Committee use its oversight authority to determine the accuracy of these reports.”

Frank disagreed.

“My Republican colleagues, in raising the issue of ACORN, which is unrelated to the subject of regulatory restructuring, have apparently decided to try to hijack the committee and turn it into an echo chamber in an effort help out the McCain campaign,” Frank said. “No legislation passed by the House has authorized or appropriated funds for ACORN.”
