Penetrating Insights into the Obvious
Posted on 10/14/2008 5:06:23 PM PDT by pissant
Barack Obama took time out from debate preparations today to weigh in on the increasingly loud controversy over an activist group's voter registration drive.
The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, known as ACORN, claims to have registered 1.3 million young people, minorities, and working-class voters. But some of those registration cards have listed dead or nonexistent people and are being investigated in at least eight states.
Republican John McCain, and today his running mate Sarah Palin, have called on Obama to take control of ACORN's activities. “Obama has a responsibility to rein in ACORN and prove that he is willing to fight voter fraud," she told radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh today.
But Obama told reporters in Ohio today that he his campaign has no direct ties with ACORN and that he is concerned that the criticism is designed to discourage voters.
"We've got the best voter registration, turnout, and volunteer operation in politics right and we don't need ACORN's help," Obama said. "What I want to make sure of, though, is that this is not used as an excuse for the kind of voter suppression tactics that we've seen in the past. Let's make sure everybody is voting, everybody is registered, everybody is doing this is a lawful way."
On Friday, six GOP leaders wrote to Attorney General Michael Mukasey to urge him to make sure ballots by ineligible or fraudulent voters are not counted on Nov. 4, the Associated Press reports.

I want obama’s nuts hanging from my rearview mirror. Give me dem acorns now!
He does not have any. He’s Ayer’s and Rashid Khalidi’s sock puppet.
They’re a community organization, Obamanation. You endorse community organizations, don’t you? Why, you even give money to them and receive favors and fake voter registrations in reply.
You are a sick dude, Obamanation. You need to be in jail.
My hometown liberal rag puts Zero and ACORN in the same sentence? I am shocked
He said "like an acorn" and stopped, it was like he wished he had not used the nut analogy.
EWWWWWWWW!!!!
Whether McCain or Obama wins, the groundwork has been laid for stricter voter registration processes and stricter actual voting. ACORN, abetted by the Obama campaign, has massively overreached.
People are starting to clamor for NO same day registration and voting and to require photo ID for casting a vote.
Because of ACORN’s illegal activities in Ohio and one stupid judge’s decision that registering and voting on the same day was legal, the whole election process has been tainted in that state. If Obama wins that state by a very small margin, the GOP better be ready to contest.
But Obama told reporters in Ohio today that he his campaign has no direct ties with ACORN...
Barack the Bald Faced Liar
That’s pretty funny.
He can’t help it. ACORN is a huge part of who he is.
The thing that irks me is that Odinga gets no press at all — even from conservative radio and TV! Heard Bill Bennett on the radio today while driving to work. Some caller said, “What about Odinga? Who’s going to bring that out into the open?,” and Bill Bennett just said he’d pass on that and went on to the next subject. WTF? Are people so afraid of being branded racist that they won’t bring up this association? Do they think there’s not enough of a smoking gun there to bring it up? Are they afraid that bringing it up will backfire on the McCain campaign (again due to the racism charge)?
Stuff like that drives me...um...nuts.
Obama seeks distance from everything, hell even his own half white ASZ.
Especially the Ayers family
You know the Manson family killed people many years ago, but you don’t see me being friendly with them! Why, because I DON’T LIKE MURDER.
OBambi on the other hand does like terror and murder against this USA.
