This whole ACORN voter fraud boils down to one thing, desperation. Lets just say that the worst charge against ACORN is true. The worst thing the GOP and John McCain have charged ACORN with is registering poor homeless people to vote. Lord have mercy. How dare they. I mean do poor homeless people suddenly lose all their rights under the constitution because they are poor and homeless. Just because somebody does not have a home does not mean that their voice should not count or that they should lose the fundamental right under a free society.

What the Republican Party really is upset about is that the majority of people that ACORN helped to get registered to vote were poor, homeless, democrats. If ACORN was out there registering poor, homeless, republicans to vote the republicans wouldn’t have had a damn thing to say about it. In fact if ACORN was out there registering poor, homeless, republicans to vote, Sean Hanity would be calling these people great Americans, and would be broadcasting his show live from ACORN’s mobile command center.
So just that we are clear, what this really boils down to is that ACORN was able to mobilize hundreds of volunteers to get thousands of people registered and ready to vote, you know more of that awful community organizing stuff, and the republicans got pissed off. These are the same people that the Republican Party long ago forgot about and would have rather these people remain lost and forgotten about. The Republican Party sees these poor people as a threat and that is why they have attacked ACORN and other organizations like them. If this is voter fraud then consider me and everyone else that have helped poor and homeless people get out and vote and exercise their rights guilty. If this is what I am guilty of then fine, lock me up. I would rather be locked up then see my rights taken away by the Republican Party, either way we lose.

Even though I have never voted for a republican, I used to have respect for the Republican Party. I know longer have any respect for the Republican Party. The party that has been taken over by people like Sean Hanity and Rush Limbaugh have turned what was once a respectable party into a corrupt organization that uses fear and intimidation as it’s most powerful weapons to attack and demonize ordinary citizens and have consistently ignored the voice of it’s own party. This election has proved that republican party is out of touch with this country and more importantly out of touch with it’s own base.
