I read it. I understood it. ACORN hires a bunch of poor folk to run around register other poor folk to vote. Said poor folk handed in fraudulent forms and ACORN is now under investigation for it. Seems pretty cut and dry to me.

This is the funny part...

Smith-Greathouse suggested that powerful interests were trying to squelch the voices of the poor that ACORN is trying to empower.
The poor are already empowered to vote. They just be lazy.

I thought about going to work for ACORN in their voter registration program. Pay was pretty good, then they told me I had to be bilingual. I've been told that I barely speak adequate Texan.

Not just fake names, names like Tony Romo and Terrell Owens. I almost forgot, and the rest of the Dallas Cowboys.

Holy crap man... I read the first two paragraphs and not I'm wondering what the heck your smoking?!

I'll reply with appologies if the rest of the article somehow supports your statement.

Ok I'm about halfway thru now and it's getting worse for ALCORN.

Starting to sound like they are hiring bums to drum up voters registrations.

And telling them they will take away their $8 an hour if they don't get 20 a day.

The article also says this is legal....WELL IT SHOULDN'T BE!

"To my standards, to ACORN's standards, everything that was turned in to the Board of Elections was legitimate," said Camp, a 28-year-old Las Vegan who said he previously worked as a real-estate appraiser.

I'll bet all the over-priced appraisals this guy probably did were up to his "standards" to.

You know? The last election we had here, I had a friend that was unemployed. Some of the polititions hired him to give peolpe rides to the poles.
I thought that was kinda like buying votes. Does anyone have any thoughts on that one?


But I quess I didn't understand what Drew was referring to though. I was looking for a hidden conspracy.

The only person who benefits from making up fake names is the worker hired by Acorn as an independent contractor.

The way that's being done there, I wonder if they give the ones that need it a fix, to buy a vote.
