Default All you Obama suporters aren't concerned ...

about his past associations:

Obama lied about his past association with Acorn and has now come clean. This organization worries me more than hanging chads!

Those concerned about ACORN will have to abstain this year, as both McCain and Obama have worked with them. McCain partnered with ACORN when he was working on his amnesty initiatives.

Is it kinda like saying I played catch with Sam Bradford so therefore I played football for the Sooners?

Why did Obama feel compelled to lie about his involvement with the organization?

I have no idea. You're the one concerned about who's playing ball in whose neighborhood. Turns out they're both suiting up with the same kids.

They're politicians. They speak in half-truths and convenient omissions. There are proven voter registration irregularities in favor of McCain.

My point is simply that it's pretty foolish to try to sort out the saints from the sinners here. There is no black and white (ouch), only shades of gray.

Fair enough and I appreciate the link.

My problem with Obama's connection to ACORN is that there are too many stories about voter fraud that favor Obama. Here's a link from your same source:

2885 Brownlee Avenue must have been a fun place to live. And it must be a bigger home than what we see, eh?

NOnono, see if I use a conservative source to incriminate the Republican, you can't use the same source. You've got to find a liberal one. (Granted, I'm guessing that's pretty much everybody else, but still, I certainly don't give Malkin much credence when it comes to fair criticisms of Obama.)

You're a regular poet Is there a difference between working with and working for ... at least to my understanding that's the difference between the two.
