More on Mayor Villaraigosa's connection with ACORN

"So we can blame ACORN for Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa ??"

Link here to this post at the "Hot Air Blog" for more background on ACORN's ties to Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa.

With an eye on the governors office in 2010, Villaraigosa has wisely decided to circle the wagons and participate in ACORN’s attempts to deflect attention from voter fraud indictments and the growing grassroots efforts to stop Federal funding. The problem with ACORN can be found in the last sentence of the above slide, “and one who knows who he has to thank!” Local politicians start off as school board and city council members; then they become mayor and so on. If a politician is constantly beholden to a group like ACORN, who has a habit of “calling in favors” one has to wonder if they are public servants or ACORN servants.
