Kandrathe "Yes, but is it the tip of the iceberg?"
I can only agree with Jester, regarding this remark. There is nothing to warrant insinuations, false or not.
Kandrathe "Not really. There is time to get familiar with candidates and vote your conscience."
Most of what you see now is distraction, and the rest is what you already knew (or maybe not, but in that case you really should consider not voting, because you may not be able to tell the difference at this stage). You should distrust accusations like this one against ACORN, for example, for the mere fact that it appears so close to the elections.
Kandrathe "A little bit of fraud in a few States can have a huge impact on electoral votes."
Sure, but I wasn't talking about election fraud. This whole issue with ACORN is about registrations, and so were previous election related cases. You still need real voters to abuse registrations, as Jester pointed out.
I was talking about the fact that so many people apparantly want to believe such groundless accusations. It can't be that hard to find a better motivation for your political choice, I hope? Do you really want the government that wins a mud slinging contest?

Kandrathe "I'm of the same mind on this as congressman Davy Crockett who..."
Would you also give away a week income for the benefit of a widow you didn't know? And again for the second? Third? How many widows would Davy Crockett have been able to support on his own? Like he said, only if other members of the Congress would do the same, there would be enough money to succeed. Doesn't that make him a socialist, asking the rich to help bear the burden of the poor? Or do you also need to hate corporations for that?
If all people were like the Davy Crockett you describe, we might not need taxes. But since that is obviously not the case, you better accept we can't do without, Kandrathe. Unless you want to start donating a lot, ofcourse.
Kandrathe "So, it goes back to my old axiom... "
I looks to me that your axiom is not to accept responsibility and always blame others.
