Sorry I didn’t pick up on the sarcasm oki2. This election has got me more riled up that usual and I’m just quick to pounce :(

Malkin wrote a great article exposing many of the various ACORN scandals in this election cycle.

Again, all of this once again raises the question about online voter registration.

If no human being is going to eyeball the list, how will they notice names that should not be on the list. A computer is not going to recognize the names of Dallas Cowboys players.

Which is of course exactly why Obama and the Democrats pushed online registration through.

My first comment was supposed to be facetious, but truth is stranger than fiction.

Sorry, forgot to do that /sarcasm thingy other people do. I got the numbers from the stats listed there… 46 problems out of 80,000 applications. I can’t believe that they think that only 46 out of 80,000 could represent ALL the “bad” applications. Given how often I, myself, am able to mess up a form, I would guess that even with non-malicious intent, there are more errors than just 46 out of 80,000.

It’s the same story with these guys every election cycle. The corruption in our government starts with the election process itself. If we had an honest government ACORN would not only lose their tax exempt status but wouldn’t be allowed to register voters at all. Thanks to ACORN and politicians like Sen. Obama, working people who can’t afford to buy a home of their own have been financing a bunch of deadbeats. Now they’re being forced to bail them out for defaulting on what should be called welfare mortgages. In last night’s debate Obama claimed that he sent a letter to Fed Reserve Chairman Bernanke warning of the coming mortgage crises. The truth is they’ve always known that the mortgages they were extorting couldn’t be afforded and it was their plan all along to have working tax payers pay for them. We all know that this is just part of the wonderful redistribution of wealth he has planned for this county. To read Obama’s letter click here .

If you can’t win on the up&up, then steal it!! They have tagged 800 plus false registrations so far. Minorities stealing the election. Who spelled Mickey Mouse for them? This isn’t over yet. Wait…next they will pull the race card! What are the odds in Vagas?

“She said ACORN had turned in 46 problem applications submitted by 33 former employees to election officials in the Las Vegas area…”

Applications were all voting for Barack Obama and included names such as John Q. Public, Ima Voter, Mickey Mouse, Peter Pan, George W. Bush, and all of the Seven Dwarfs. In other words, if it wasn’t going to fly under the radar, they kept it as “proof” ACORN was on the up-and-up.

Oki2,

A town in Indiana has said that approximately half of ACORN’s submitted applications are either invalid or suspect, and there are ten states total who have stated that they have found invalid applications. That doesn’t sound like .0575%. Where did you even get that statistic?

Geez, give’em a break. They are REPORTING the bad ones people! Only 0.0575% of their applications are bad and they are REPORTING them! Let them do their good work! Even the Secretary of State’s spokesman is saying they probably only have maximum of a 0.23% error rate.
