Care to guess how many ACORN workers are felons? Sounds like the pot's calling the kettle black.
Campaign work does not require deep background checks ---most campaigns don't even check to see if someone graduated high school. Those it attracts for the work are in the minimum-wage category. The jobs carry no benefits, and no chance of any long-term employment; once the candidate's elected or loses, there goes the temporary job. Anyway. . . you may wish to do a search on Robert Creamer, a convicted felon that helped write Obama's health care initiative, and was personally invited by the President to attend his first State Department dinner. Then there's the laundry list of tax cheats working in the Obama White House. . . one of whom is now the Secretary of The Treasury! 12:47 PM CST on Sunday, January 24, 2010 By GROMER JEFFERS Jr. / The Dallas Morning News gjeffers@dallasnews.com Gov. Rick Perry's campaign has unknowingly paid convicted felons as part-time workers under its incentive program to turn out voters for the Republican primary. The campaign lists about 300 part-time workers on the financial disclosure forms it filed with the state, recruits under the "Perry Home Headquarters" program that pays people to get others to sign up as a Perry supporter and pledge to vote. A handful have criminal histories, a Dallas Morning News review shows. Beyond that, the program has become a money-making opportunity, especially for those with extensive social networking profiles. Some may be in it more for the cash than the candidate. For instance, one lists herself as a Facebook fan of President Barack Obama, an unlikely political pairing. Campaign officials don't screen those who sign up to be part-timers. They say that both the re-election effort and the workers benefit from the Home Headquarters program. "People in life make mistakes," said Perry spokesman Mark Miner. "It doesn't mean they can't get a second chance and work hard. That's what these people are doing. They are out there trying to change their lives and make a difference." It's beginning to look like libs don't like the idea of people getting second chances. Always said that libs are tiny little fascists-in-waiting. Edited: 01/26/2010 at 04:58 PM by Beachcomber |

Geithner is a felon, he just hasn't been tried or convicted because he's got a free pass.
