The right wing spin is that the organization called ACORN
has registered many thousands of fake people who supposedly
will somehow make real votes for Obama/Biden this fall.
They are telling this lie in hopes of changing the subject
from the economy and in hopes of continuing their
ridiculous low road "guilt by association" slime ball
attacks on Barack Obama.
The truth is that ACORN is a group which tries to register
real people (poor people) to vote. And the truth is this
what the Republicans do not like. They know a majority of
the over one million people that ACORN has registered to
vote this year will be voting for Democrats. They know that
a few fake registrations (which do ACORN absolutely no
good, I'll get to that in a moment) are not a real issue.
They make an issue out of it as a diversion from the real
issues facing Americans. They also make an issue out of it
in hopes of riling up their mostly ignorant base (who
actually buys this crap without questioning the logic of it
all.) They make an issue out of it to undermine what
appears to be more and more likely an Obama victory this
November 4th. They make an issue out of it to divert
attention away from the real vote fraud which is done
almost entirely on behalf of the Republicans. That real
voter fraud isn't creating fake voter registrations (which
as I'll get to soon are completely worthless) but in voter
caging and voter suppression. You see voter caging and
voter suppression do not add fake votes for the
Republicans, but they do take away real votes from the
Democrats.
Fake voter registrations are a problem for ACORN but they
are not something that ACORN wants. Quite the opposite.
Fake voter registrations are created by some of their
lazier less scrupulous workers who don't bother to actually
register voters but instead just fill out fake voter
registration forms. Why do they do this? A very simple
reason and it has nothing to do with stealing an election:
They want to be paid without doing their work.
These fake voter registrations are a waste of time and
money for ACORN precisely because they do not represent
real people. And guess what; fake people don't actually
vote! That's what's so insane about this so called "voter
fraud." It actually has absolutely nothing to do with fake
votes being cast. No fake votes are cast because of these
types of fake registrations. The GOP should in fact love
that this happens because it simply wastes ACORNS time and
money. That's time and money that could be spent
registering real poor people that actually could vote!
ACORN actually makes an effort to mark all suspicious voter
registrations before they send them to the election boards.
The election boards then throw out the registrations that
they cannot verify as being from real people. So the actual
registrations that are made do not include these fake
registrations.
Hopefully you are a logical person and you can now see
what's going on here. This is just another dishonest
attempt by the right wingers to change the subject from the
real issues and to smear their opponents with lies. It's
disgusting. It's exactly the kind of politics America has
had enough of. And it's exactly the kind of politics that
McCain/Palin want to give us for another four years.
