>>There is a record of one payment, for services rendered, to ACORN by the Obama campaign, way back during the Primaries. And you don't think that is relevant? Acorn and all such groups should stay out of politics althogether.<< MM - I don't think it's relevant to the voter registration issues, which aren't part of any kind of plot or nefarious scheme in any case. Nor do I think one payment to one part of ACORN for doing one of the things they do could be construed as "funneling money" to them. As for the statement that ACORN and all such groups should stay out of politics, I can't see how you could possibly support that idea. How would you classify "such groups"? What is it about ACORN, or any group like ACORN, that disqualifies them from participating in politics? - Allen
