"I like how the head of ACORN in Florida uses the "Wal-mart" excuse:"

It is pretty valid. In many, if not most, states, groups like ACORN are required to turn in every collected registration. So, if an employee turns in a bogus registration, they are required to submit them. Often, they can flag the ones they think are bogus and often do that. Which is why people get prosecuted for it.

Again, ACORN wants to register new voters. It doesn't help them at all to register Mickey Mouse.

However, why not answer Z's question?

As a country that rarely fields half of it's eligible voters, why is it that you (R)'s work so hard to disqualify them? Isn't it better to have as many voting as possible?

>Hey Z, ACORN just registered "Mickey Mouse" in Orange County, Florida!

So what? Does that mean that Mickey Mouse is going to be walking into a polling station on November 4th?

>I like how the head of ACORN in Florida uses the "Wal-mart" excuse:

> "Some percentage of Wal-Mart workers try to get paid without doing their work or steal from their employer," he said.

Um, why isn't that valid? Do you understand how this stuff works, at all?
