How is that an ACORN problem? They legally have to submit all voter registrations, real or fake. Imagine if a voter registration organization could pick and choose which ones they wanted to submit...it'd be easy to throw out the ones you thought were going to vote against your party by saying they looked fake.

You have some hard evidence ACORN does not practice this? :hmmm: So you are saying in a predominantly democratic neighborhood if one person steps forward and fills out the form as a republican the form will be submitted by an ACORN prepresentative? There is no funny stuff at all? :06:

And legally they are not to embezzle. Oh well.

In any case, you've already stated that you don't mind some kind of fraud so long as it's in the interest of your party.

Hence, my point about your outrage being selective stands.

Wouldn't it be amazing if we could all just put our party affiliations aside and call a duck a duck?

For instance, I agree that so-called "astroturfing" exists and is a crappy tactic, no matter who uses is. Also, I believe that voter registration organizations that target political demographics, and ALLOW for a measure of fraud, are crappy organizations. I don't care what side they're on.

Did I?

In a round about way. That is how I interpreted your view of ACORN and how it operates.

Indeed.

Ask yourself this, mookie: how come it is so easy for you to find justification for the transgressions of your party, while being outraged at the transgressions of the other side?

The funny thing is, independant thinking is FAR easier than keeping up with the BS and spin from the party you choose to affiliate with, but so many people would rather just go with the party line.

Ahem... er back on topic.

"Yes we can"

If not for public awarness and outcry over this debacle it would have slid on through.
