The Louisiana AG has subpoenaed Wade Rathke, the founder of ACORN, who embezzled $1,000,000 from them, and not only did they not call the cops and ask for charges to be pressed, they simple shipped him over to SEIU, Obama's pals. As I stated last week ACORN will be Obama's Haliburton and possibly his WAtergate.
I think it will be closer to Watergate, certainly it will be for some democrats. As for Obama, we will see. Right now, I think not too much, give it time and you could be totally right. It either will not hurt Obama at all or will finish him, nothing inbetween like Haliburton.
I don't know much about ACORN, but I do believe it was created and has helped poor people in this country.
I don't think you can paint the entire set of people that have worked or benefited through it's programs with the same brush. Apparently, this duo visited offices where people refused to help them and called the police on them.
There are always a few stupid nut cases that ruin things for the entire group. Remember the accounting company that went down b/c of cooked books at Enron/World Com. Certainly we don't think the entire company was crooked.
you said it yourself, you don't know much about ACORN. it is more than a few nut cases, much more.
As for helping poor people, I think giving an few examples might prove your point a little better. To me their claiming to be helping is or was just a cover up. I have thought this for years.
