Is This the October Surprise? ACORN/Obama Scandal Breaking!?

Question

According to the Kansas City Star, and many other papers,  a major scandal has erupted involving the liberal group  ACORN "Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now"

From KC STAR
Thousands of fraudulent voter registrations have surfaced after having been submitted by ACORN. In some parts of Ohio, over half of the registrations submitted by ACORN are at least questionable. ACORN even admits that it is unable to insure there is no fraud. In the Kansas City area, one name, Monica Ray, registered 20 times.

In Indianapolis more people were registered than the adult population of the city by 5%!

HARTFORD, Conn. - The State Elections Enforcement Commission is looking into a complaint alleging that a community advocacy group submitted fraudulent voter registration cards in Bridgeport.

Joseph Borges, Bridgeport's Republican registrar of voters, filed the complaint. He said he has found problems with numerous voter registration cards submitted by the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or ACORN, which works to register low-income people.

In one instance, he says a card was filled out for a 7-year-old girl, whose age was listed as 27 on the card.

ACORN filed more than 8,000 cards in Bridgeport. The complaint involves 10, but Borges said there were problems with many others.

HE WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR ASSOCIATING WITH THIS INDEPENDANT ORGANIZATION DUM-DUM!!!!


AND why do you think he changed churches?

because no one liked he was with a racist anti-american reverend!!!


if no one liked that he was black, he would probably turn into MJ!

Obama supporters are convinced that Obama has this election wrapped up, it will be the people sitting on the fence and Independents that will decide this election, as fast as the pendulum swung to Obama it can swing away from him...not all of the people that are moving towards Obama are head over heels in love with him like some of his staunch supporters. This election will come down to the wire, I have heard it said an election is decided in the last 3 days of the election.

The October Suprise was this financial meltdown and continued crisis. In the end , we will find out its all been a bad Democrat ploy backed by the billionairs in the Party,  namely George Soros, and those idiots that made billions on the bad loans (as portrayed on SNL last week).

Why don't they release the party that these duplicated registrations belong to?  That will be a show - either they did it to ill legitimize the other party or to get more votes.

Kansas City Kansas? No surprise there. Even if you add up all the questionable voter registations (nationwide) and threw them out, Obama still wins!

Obama is not to blame for some independent organization. This is why you are supposed to have to have proof of residency when you apply to vote, to make sure nobody commits fraud. You can't blame a candidate for these actions.
