Bradley J. Schlotzman - Party Hack

So, I admit, its easy to get caught up in the election. We all want our side to win. But most of us, at least those of us with some type of value system that separates right from wrong, can manage to separate our personal politics from our professional obligations. I do this all the time, when I teach.

But, Bradley J. Schlotzman, who is earning himself quite the reputation (move over Robert Novak, there's a new 'partisan douchebag in chief in washington'), just leaked word that the Department of Justice is investigating ACORN - giving more fodder to those who see "democracy in peril" with a few erroneous voter registration forms. This is the second time that this government official has blatantly disregarded the directives of the department of justice to instigate an investigation weeks before an election, thereby injecting a partisan political agenda into the DOJ's real 'law and order' business.

Of course, you might remember, this isn't the first time that an investigation into voter registration has 'suddenly popped up' right before the election. Check out the following video of Pat Leahy, trying to get to the bottom of this the last time it happened:




Once again, a Bush crony is using his position of power to put the GOPs interests ahead of the nations interest, and this at a time when the DOJ is suffering from a substantial credibility deficit. WTF?

I might add, that in the past, there has been zero evidence of voter registration fraud that actually resulted in real voter fraud. This despite an organized, well-funded, ideologically driven effort to find such a conspiracy.

Where there is no smoke, there is no fire, my friends.

The real lesson from ACORN's voter registration fraud is that only volunteers (not paid employees) should register people to vote.
