Mccain accuses ACORN of voter fraud-3/4

McCain Campaign Accuses Community Organizing Mainstay ACORN of Fraud in Successful Mass Voter Registration Drive

With Election Day approaching, the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN), finds itself in the cross hairs.

Then, last week, ACORN was thrust into the national spotlight when the McCain campaign accused it of engaging in fraudulent voter registration on a massive scale. We host a debate between ACORN chief organizer Bertha Lewis and Cleta Mitchell, a Republican attorney specializing in election law. [includes rush transcript]

You basically have to be a moron to think that individuals would risk criminal indictment, or illegals risk deportation, so as to increase the possibility of electing a US president by a single vote. Cleta Mitchell is one nasty psycho of a republican operative.

Obama needs a strong and trustworthy secret service, that's for sure.

Cleta, we don't care about what you "believe". We care about what you know...which seems to be very little.
