Look for all their registered garbage that had not been registered previously to be thrown into the round file. You know, FloriDUH and the absentee military vote in Y2K. <:

Eight ACORN workers admitted to voter fraud in Missouri. Now what do you have to say?

so acorn really isn't involved in massive voter registration fraud, and all those dozens of news stories were just made up?

how odd.

why do you never hear about acorn going into poor, rural, republican-leaning areas to register people to vote?

Trouble typing again? I think you meant "they help the poor, and get people registered more than once." There, I fixed it for you.

Looks like McCain was a keynote speaker for Acorn, and a video is now out of this.

now that McCain is connected with acorn, its funny how these hyprocrites choose to igrnore it and its funny how they don't talk about the republican's voter suppression of foreclosure families, college students and the groups partisan to the GOP are hired to count votes.

And whatever happen to ayers terrorism talk, there used to be more of them, every since more info came out about Palin's close involvement with AIP and McCain's hiring of Saddam's lobbyist, seems the hypocrites are a little tongue tied now we know that the McCain/Palin camp is the one palling around with treason and terrorism.

Plenty of Ronald Reagan republicans sat with Ayers too.

They are both NON STORIES anyway.

And you think ACORN is the reason you're losing?
Age is irrelevant and "complete joke" is quite subjective (opinion, not fact).

Voter registration fraud does not matter. Voter suppression matters.

If what you say is true (that's a big IF given your track record) then they should be dealt with. I have no doubt that some ACORN workers were padding their daily registration output. That's not the point.

ACORN identifies those cases where they can. They mark any suspected registrations and turn them over to the authorities. And they go on their way.

THAT DOESN'T QUALIFY AS VOTER FRAUD.
