So the Obama campaign lied THREE times, not once?
Once by failure to disclose it and needing to amend the report
Twice when the disclosure stated it was for "Get out the vote", not registrations
Third time when Biden said that the money wasnt used for registrations?

Just to level the playing field quid pro quo:

https://www.city-data.com/forum/2008-...ase-leads.html

IMHO, this ACORN registration fraud scandal != actual voter fraud (i.e. what a group of rogue Acorn employees have done for an economic end [larger commission] is NOT the same as what Karl Rove did to pull an election and what continues to effervesce to this day) such as the voter challenges in PA, OH, the BEWARE of POLLING PRECINCT signs, the Robocalls, the caging lists, etc..

In the end, I think you've proven that both sides are 'politicians'. Now let's talk about the economy (McCain's favorite subject).

I agree, Terra-maki. Neither side's hands are especially clean when it comes to this sort of thing.
Anyway, here is Acorn's response.

On Nov 4th, make sure you mark your ballot McCain/Palin. But I'm sorry to hear that you're no longer supporting Senators Obama and Biden.

You're right, no one seems to care much about some voter registration foul-ups caused by low-paid canvassers out to pad their meager paychecks. Probably because no matter how many times an individual registers, he still only gets one vote.

How upset are you about Diebold voting machine "irregularities" that fraudulently changed thousands of votes four years ago? Since they switched the votes to Bush, it doesn't even register with you.

Outside of the one Acorn member who is on the board of CSI, I am still scouring through your links to find the corporate link between ACORN and CSI. If you have that information please feel free to post it.

Unless they are absentee ballots, or out of state workers who vote in states they are not legally allowed to vote in..

For gods sake, The Post Gazette is a liberal newspaper and acknoledged

An Obama spokesman said Federal Election Commission reports would be amended to show Citizens Services Inc. -- a subsidiary of ACORN --

Obama has acknowledged that they are a subdivision of ACORN

An Obama spokesman said Federal Election Commission reports would be amended to show Citizens Services Inc. -- a subsidiary of ACORN --

Obamas campaign has amended their campaign to reflect the $800,000 (
The Ohio primary was March 4. According to FEC records, the Obama campaign paid Citizens Services Inc. $832,598.29, from Feb. 25 to May 17.
FEC Disclosure Reports - Filer ID C00431445

But thats not good enough for you. Wow, I'm amazed at the fact your standards are higher then Obamas..

And if the money went to CSI, Why are the ACORN offices being raided for the actions of CSI?

And the fact that its taking this many posts for someone on the left to admit its a lie says more about you, then the lie did about Biden..
