It''s truly amazing how the McCain camp/media are so wrong/worthless! As McCain supporters were villifying "Obama/Acorn" and planting illegality of some kind,here it is that of March 2006 McCain himself was praising this groups'' efforts at their convention! For some Americans who actually believe in equality where were these videos/stories of McCain''s connection with this very organization months ago?

Registration fraud by low paid day workers looking to make a few extra bucks is not tied to, and never becomes, "voter fraud". Who is going to show up at the polls and try to vote as "Mickey Mouse", "Tony Romo" or "Emmet Till"? Get real.

This whole ACORN thing I can see being sort of an issue, but it also feels like kind of a distraction given that Barack''s leading by like 14%.

That being said, is ACORN the organization that coordinates that ''street money'' thing of paying people like $50 to go vote? People said Barack making the pledge not to give out street money during the Primaries may have cost him the State, so he was going to use it for the general.

It seems like kind of a shady practice . . .

ACORN itself hardly did anything wrong--getting people to register for voting is a very noble cause. What happened is: ACORN paid people to register voters. These people were probably lazy, so they just looked up some names in a phone book or made some up. And it doesn''t become voter fraud unless they actually fake votes. Furthermore, ACORN itself was the one to bring these so-called frauds to the attention of the government. there''s also ample proof that most of much of this is itself exaggerated, and ACORN isn''t even advertising Obama''s campaign.

The Republicans are trying really hard to promote this as voter fraud. If anything it is registration fraud, which is a totally different thing. Do you realize how many people the Obama campaign has registered to vote ? They don''t need ACORN. Again the Karl Rove crowd are trying to divert attention from all the voter suppression and caging that the Republicans are engaging in.

McCain was keynote speaker at an ACORN conference in March, 2006 - he has had more recent and closer contact with them than Obama. He complimented ACORN on their important work and the President of ACORN considered McCain to be a friend. McCain knows that registration fraud happens whenever you pay people to register voters. It has nothing to do with voter fraud which is very rare according to the US Department of Justice. This is another example of McCain trying to throw sand in the face of the electorate, to confuse the less educated voter and to take this election further into the mud.
