Associates AFTER Bachelors to get into Grad program?
Would getting an Associates in a related field boost my opportunities for grad program acceptance?
Due to some poor circumstances and terrible advising, by baccalaureate transcript is a disaster with almost no math or science classes, a 2.6 GPA and multiple, multiple withdrawals. Would getting an Associates in a math or science heavy applicable field help prove that I can be a good grad student?

Most graduate schools aren't terribly impressed by great grades received at a community college. For most students, community college grades are confirmed by the grades the students receive at their transfer college, but for you it's the opposite.
You might be better off with a post-bacc pre-med program (but of course, you have to be accepted into that as well). Another option is to take more classes at your prior university, or any other university that will accept you as a non-matriculating student. And if all else fails, community college is an option, and certainly the cheapest and most convenient one; just don't be surprised if graduate schools fail to be impressed by your 4.0 community college record.

As the first poster said, it won't really help you, because it will be felt that the rigor of the courses you took was not at the appropriate level. Instead, what would be better would be to do a formal post-bac program, as she suggested; or else to formally enter a university as a second bachelors degree student. In this way, you'll be in rigorous courses, including upper division courses.
If you enter as a second bachelors student, all the core/gen ed courses will be waived, since you already have a bachelors. You'd only need to take the classes required for your major; so the second bachelors won't take four more years or anything like that!
