FQ, this has been going on in business for decades, back in the 50's Sidewallers, and builders both were making outrageous claims, (asbestos siding is A bomb proof ) and then after a couple months they would change the name and shuffle the names of the owner treasurer etc, and all the promises were history.
ACORN has been doing the same thing since all their indictments in the '08 election, shuffle the leadership, change the name and poof, they aren't criminals any more.
