Is anyone surprised at all with this admission of breaking federal laws? I'm not.

New testimony obtained by a consumer advocate group from former employees of ACORN paints a startling picture of the apparent misuse of taxpayer dollars to further the group’s left-wing political agenda.

Four former employees of ACORN and of ACORN Housing Corp. have supplied sworn affidavits to the Consumer Rights League that provide eyewitness accounts of how the two organizations have commingled funds and resources, in apparent violation of federal law.

Hey - they are helping poor people. You can't criticize them. That is a NO NO.

Both CNN and MSNBC had it a segment on ACORN, even mentioning Obama's ties to the group and his $800+ payment to them that he tried to hide.

That money was used for the primaries, Obama isn't using ACORN for the general election campaign.

$800 thousand.
and on top of that, they get a nice fat pot of money from us taxpayers, to boot.

Sorry, forgot the K. Thanks.

ACORN is a great organization. They help the poor, and get more people registered.

Of course, if you're about to get your clock cleaned in an election, they make a nice scapegoat, too.

Seriously. Your candidate is running a horrible campaign. He's like 80 years old. His running mate is a complete joke (one that we'll be enjoying for decades a la Dan Quayle), we're in the midst of an economic crisis that was created by conservative philosophy. We're mired in two wars that have lasted longer than almost all other engagements.

And you think ACORN is the reason you're losing?
