I think if you are caught with registration fraud then your intent was voter fraud.
Once the registrations are complete then the votings easy.
Let's just agree that their intent is to register Democratic voters. You say the only reason was to put $$ in their personal pockets. Then why register only Democrats?

It's not the same crime. In most all of the cases cited above the false registrations are people that don't exist, they can't be converted into votes.

It's certainly bad as I've said all along. My point is that the GOP accusations aren't based in fact...it's a straw man to rile the base.

Haven't you created the straw man here? Nobody was discussing the GOP accusations in this thread until you deflected what was an effective discussion of ACORN abuses into the discussion being about GOP accusations.

This thread wouldn't exist were it not for GOP accusations, especially during the 2008 presidential campaign, that ACORN was engaging in widespread voter fraud to rig the election for the Democrats...specifically to target Obama's time as a community organizer.

This thread wouldn't exist if ACORN wasn't committing voter registration fraud .

Gawd, this is getting tough. One man's insurgent is another man's freedom fighter all over again.

Actually, I don't think anyone here is a big ACORN supporter...I'm certainly not.

Congress votes to de-fund ACORN and the FBI will investigate.
Looks like 2 citizens did more to investigate than the media.

Thier wasting their time. Spence researched this and found them to be a A-OK. Give them back the funding so they can continue to do the Dems dirty work
