There is noticeably a bundle to know about this. I assume you made certain nice points in features also.

Obama is tied to ACORN like super glue… I think a thorough INDEPENDENT investigation needs to be made immediately and not an independent investgation conducted by ACORN either… they have too many agencies under ACORN….. no one would ever know if any agency was part of them or not… This group is very corrupt and I believe the corruption runs up to the top into the oval office….. from voter fraud to corrupt mortgage lending, the list goes on and on….. Obama tells them he needs their help but he tells us now that he doesn’t. He calls them his boots on the ground…. what is that???? HIS military?????? Oh yeah, a THOROUGH INVESTIGATION IS NEEDED ASAP.

Instead of spending your time bickering between each other maybe do a little research about the claims made and find your own truth instead of what is fed to you by the media, and the candidates. I will say that McCain has said numerous times to check their records. Obama has never said to check his.

Isn’t it funny?
The economy is in ruins, two (possibly more) wars are being waged at tremendous cost, the health care system and the education need reveiwing, and the climate isn’t getter better either.
And what do the Republicans decide should be the major issues in the presidential elections? Whether or not Obama has something to do with what could possibly be fraud by an association he has some ties with. And something about a rehabilitated university professor with whom he shared the board of an anti-poverty group and whose previous-life misdeeds he has clearly denounced.
And then they wonder why the polls go the way they go.

It isn’t just that the Obama campaign paid ACORN $843,000 for voter registration, it is that the originally listed to the FEC that the money was for lighting, sound, staging. When caught, the said they would ammend the FEC report.

What about the $800,000 his campaign gave to ACORN?

Obama is assuring voters now that he doesn’t need ACORN’s help – but told them and other Community Organizations in December 2007 that once elected he would travel the country between then and Innauguration Day, meeting with COs and being sure that they have input to help shape his White House agenda.

“I will tell you that nobody one really has capital gains right now – so if the idea is the cut capital gains taxes, when I don’t know anybody, even the smartest investors who right now are going to be experiencing a lot of capital gains. That probably is not going to be particularly useful in solving the financial crisis”
Rather telling on how little Obama understands about Business… Somebody stop this man, he’s a fool that doesn’t understand basic economics!!!

There’s a lot of low-resolution thinking going on here. “ACORN has been defrauded” isn’t the same as “ACORN has committed fraud.” If you can’t see the difference, I suggest you deregister yourself because you obviously have no capacity for rational thought.
Of however many invalid registrations were paid for by ACORN, how many were submitted without flagging by ACORN? (Please note, ACORN did not have the option of throwing away registrations they thought were questionable, because the forms are numbered and must be accounted for.)
Of that small number, how many went undetected by the Registrar of Voters? Of those, how many are the least bit likely to result in actual invalid votes being cast? Because that would require someone to know about the false reg. and show up on election day.
What kind of vast zombie army do you think Obama has under his nefarious telepathic command? Isn’t this something out of some late-late-night sci fi flick? What kind of no-lobes think this actually happens in reality?

Concerned in OH: “NY Post is reporting that some ACORN “voter” tried to vote in OH.”
No they’re not. From the article:
“… he breezed into Ohio election offices – the state allows early voting for president – reregistered with a fake address and cast a paper ballot, officials said.”
That vote is nothing to do with ACORN. That’s just some idiot, who reregistered not with ACORN, but in the election office, as the article says.
