The conservative version of ACORN

[Pastor Gary]

Yep... the Demlibs are not the only ones who get a bit overly-enthusiastic in their efforts to secure voter registrations. There seems to be a conservative Republican equivalent of ACORN at work.

According to this article in the L.A.Times, "It is a bait-and-switch scheme familiar to election experts. The firm hired by the California Republican Party -- a small company called Young Political Majors, or YPM, which operates in several states -- has been accused of using the tactic across the country.

Election officials and lawmakers have launched investigations into the activities of YPM workers in Florida and Massachusetts. In Arizona, the firm was recently a defendant in a civil rights lawsuit. Prosecutors in Los Angeles and Ventura counties say they are investigating complaints about the company.

The firm, which a Republican Party spokesman said is paid $7 to $12 for each registration it secures, has denied any wrongdoing and says it has never been charged with a crime."

For the record, I think voter fraud is despicable, regardless of the affiliation of the perpetrators.

So they registered Mickey Mouse plus thousands of dead folks and McCain worked for them? Plus this conservative group has ties to an unrepentant terrorist?

Today ACORN claims more than 400,000 dues-paying member families, and more than 1,200 chapters in 110 U.S. cities. (The organization is also active in Canada and Mexico). It owns two radio stations, a housing corporation, and a law office, and maintains affiliate relationships with a host of trade-union locals. ACORN also runs schools where children are trained in class consciousness; a network of "boot camps" for training street activists; and operations that extort contributions from banks and other businesses under threat of racial violence and trumped-up civil rights charges.



Hey, I guess they could be the same. It's early in the morning for me and I could be reading it all wrong.
