ACORN Tactics

I saw a big sign on a very hot day recently, in a busy public place: "Republicans Register to Vote Here." A black guy with dreadlocks stood behind the table. There was a cooler of sports drinks, and energy bars. I sat on the wall and talked to the guy. If someone registered as a Republican they got a cold drink and an energy bar. He told me he's homeless and was picked up at a homeless shelter, as were many others, to help register Republicans. He told me he got paid for each Republican he registered. I asked him about registering Democratic. No, you don't get a drink or energy bar. You can register, but he wasn't getting paid for that. I asked him if there was ever a few phonies thrown in to increase his pay. "Ya, we all do it." They catch most phonies eventually, but since they are paid daily, they don't have enough time to check. The Internet is full of similar stories. Yes Acorn probably did hire some questionable people to register people and they probably threw in a few phonies to increase their pay. Outrage against Acorn is easy to find, where's the outrage against rewarding people to register Republican? http://www.thenewmajority.com/oc/imp...xwze3sf4fstvun http://www.ocregister.com/articles/r...6-county-votes Baugh worked with the New Majority – a group of millionaire Republican businesspeople – to fund a massive registration drive in which hired hands were paid for each Republican they signed up. That drive was especially effective because many of those "bounty hunters" were already setting up in front of stores to collect signatures for the numerous Republican-supported initiative petitions circulating last year. Mo http://www.bradblog.com/?p=6534 . . . this isn't the first time there have been serious problems with GOP-gathered voter registrations in CA, as outlined recently at Alternet. Looks like the GOP's voter registration record for errors far outpaced ACORN! Whaddaya know? (Our special coverage of the GOP's ACORN "Voter Fraud" Hoax is right here.http://www.bradblog.com/?page_id=6500) All of which proves only that the Republican noise making machine does a very good job of manipulating their followers to believe what they want you to believe. No noise making machine on the other side on the same scale. |
