ACORN

[kandrathe]

Your first link points to a anti-ACORN piece without references in some OpinionJournal owned by Dow-Jones, and the article from your second link doesn't even mention ACORN, Kandrathe. I'm sure you can do better then that :huh:

Not really. The point I was making was that the Acorn problem comes up every 2 years, not just this year. You don't seem to be able to make rational deductions, so why should I prove to you that 2+2=4. It seems hard for you to fathom that registration fraud leads to voting fraud. This article spells it out more clearly. I'm sure you still don't understand how all this bad data mucks up the system, and makes voting fraud all that more difficult to determine.

But you don't have a problem with phony accusations being used to affect the choice of those same Americans?

What makes a registration of Donald Duck legitimate?

Ah, now I see. Davy Crockett didn't intend to support the widow at all, but he used the donation 'solution' as argument against the tax bill, right? I understand now what you meant with being of a same mind, yes. For the widow's sake, I hope he didn't succeed.

He did succeed. Rep. Crockett stood on the principle that it is a misuse of government to spend public money in that way. There is not a thing in the Constitution that gives congress the power to appropriate any money for charity. However noble the cause, that warm feeling you get from helping people should be done with your own money. Here is a longer version of the story From The Life of Colonel David Crockett, by Edward S. Ellis (Philadelphia: Porter & Coates, 1884).

Warren Buffet is the richest person in the world, recently displacing Bill Gates from the number one spot. In 2008, the US congress voted to give the Shedd Aquarium about 1.5 million dollars which is actually money borrowed from China anyways. If you don't understand why this type of pork makes our federal system a mess, then you might not want to get into debates on the US federal budget.
