Isn't it awful what these folks at ACORN manage to allow to happen, over and over again? Yes this is certainly one of the top issues the country faces and is alone, in and of itself, enough to propel McCain 20 or so points in the polls so he can destroy Obama. The fact that Acorn is a decades old institution that I never heard of, and all of the sudden has become this massive republican talking point, makes me (and everyone else) laugh.

<ACORN folks have already plead guilty of submitting false registrations.> I know... imagine committing fraud against a 'do gooder' group like Acorn instead of doing what they were hired to do: <<The defendants were all temporary employees of ACORN, the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, when they allegedly filled out and submitted more than 1,800 fictitious voter-registration cards during a 2006 registration drive in King and Pierce counties.>> Sucks... too bad. dAK
