With a little help from ACORN’s nationwide fraudulant Democratic registeration drive. Did you know the Dallas Cowboys are registered voters in Texas AND Nevada? The FBI has found 12 states where if the fraudulant votes were removed, it may change the winner of that state. Obama knows this, but he now knows we know too, so his statement that he had nothing to do with ACORN has magically disappeared from his website. After all, he was a ‘community organizer’ in the south side of Chicago for ACORN. Don’t tell me he’s known nothing at all about this all these years. If Obama didn’t have such seedy affiliations as wild-eyed preachers and unrepentant terrorists, well, I could trust him enough to be the leader of the free world. I actually like his policies. Oh well, guess I’ll vote Libertarian, at least Bob Barr is honest…
Seriously, Springsteen and other self-proclaimed ‘experts’ should really stick to music. I want to hear ‘Born in the USA’, not ‘Down with the USA… and Bush… and evil republicans, and Bush… and the evil military… and Bush… and Sarah Palin, who should tend to her knitting, her pregnant daughter and down syndrome baby rather than run for Vice president… and oh, yes, let’s not forget Bush…. what could he possibly have left to say of substance if Bush is gone, Obama is president, and the Demcrats control everything?
Maybe it’s time for him to shut up and go on tour. Springsteen tickets are still worth whatever he wants to charge for him, and a bargain at twice the price.

GIVE ME A BREAK! None of these dick head pieces of garbage are worthy of your most highest most sacred title we can give to an AMERICAN. “Vote none of the above.” Cause Americans need the best, but if we can’t have the best we are better off with nothing at all.
