Don't buy into this All-ACORN-All-the-Time coverage that Fox and the Neo-Con attack organs are trying to put over on you. It's a political witch hunt. They're accusing ACORN of voter registration fraud -- not voter fraud, mind you, but voter registration fraud. There's a huge difference. They hired some people to register voters, who forged some forms to get more money. ACORN tagged the fraudulent forms, but they had to turn them in, by law. There is, by the way, solid evidence that fraudulent registrations are virtually never used for casting fraudulent votes.
This is all part of McCain's Weapons of Mass Distraction strategy for his campaign. He can't run on the issues, so he gives us his daily dose of media sewage to distract our attention from the fact that he doesn't have a clue.
McCain said it himself the other day: Obama is a decent man. You may disagree with him, which I can respect, but don't buy this other crap. There's nothing to it.
