Also buy influencing the districts it will also influence how money is spent and distributed. A company like acorn shouldn't have this much control, especially when they have so many cases against their workers!

The surface it didn't look so good. Upon further investigation though they go through some pretty strict FBI background checks through finger printing. 500,000 and ACORN will have about 250 positions.

Focus on this: There is nothing to deflect from. Can you or anyone else document a single case of actual voter fraud that arose from any incident of voter-registration fraud in any ACORN voter registration drive ever? Many have tried.

Open your eyes to the fact that the whole ACORN hullaballoo is nothing but a partisan right-wing smear campaign. It's another fake issue manufactured by manipulators who desperately need to drive people around by their emotions because so few of the facts are actually on their side.

Ok put this in the left wing hooka and focus on it:
In the state of Missouri in 1986, 12 ACORN members were convicted of voter fraud. But that case was not an isolated incident in the state. In December 2004, in St. Louis, six volunteers pleaded guilty of dozens of election law violations for filling out registration cards with names of dead people and other bogus information

On February 10, 2005, Nonaresa Montgomery, a paid worker who ran Operation Big Vote during the run-up to the 2001 mayoral primary, was found guilty of vote fraud. Montgomery hired about 30 workers to do fraudulent voter-registration canvassing. Instead of knocking on doors, the volunteers sat at a St. Louis fast food restaurant and wrote out names and information from an outdated voter list. About 1,500 fraudulent voter registration cards were turned in.
I could go on but I'm afraid I'd cause some to start crying...


So exactly what's changed other than who they commit fraud for?

As far as I'm concerned it's like starting a drug ring and trying to go legit. If the core fundamentals are based on fraud the branches from the roots aren't going to produce something different.

and the mass media you are talking so much about is mainly liberal, like msnbc and cnn. so it is not conservative news we are getting it from, it is liberal media we are getting it from.

and they were employed by ACORN to go out and get people registered to vote.

fedex is not in the business of buying drugs and selling them, they deliver mail. on the other hand, ACORN is in the business of getting people to register and vote.

ACORN in its current form is dirty and should be forcibly made to disband, and forbidden to regroup.

its executives and employees should be forbidden to ask people to get out and vote except in their home state and district.

It looks like the liberal just disappeared once facts were presented.
