What does the acronym ACORN stand for?

Conservatives sure are touchy lately. I wonder why?

Am I supposed to fuck off or answer the question?

Oh, pish-tosh! Conservatives are the shining beacons of grace and purity.

You liberal scum are just trying to defame and degrade the public sphere!

It was blindingly obvious from my post. In other words, you don’t have an answer.

They have to take, and turn in, all of them, every fucking form that’s filled out, you cock-juggling thundercunt!

Why do they have to accept bogus registrations?

Or are they solicting them?

Which is rather the problem.

Because that’s the law. They have to give every registration they receive to the state body that deals with them. If they kept bogus registrations, they’d have to decide which registrations are bogus, and that’s something they don’t have the authority to do. How many times has this been explained to you now?

Either they accept all registrations they get, or they screen some out. Current practice is for ACORN (or whoever) to turn in all registrations they get, or you let them decide which ones are ‘real’. Apparently you want them to screen 'em out, eh?

And how many times has it been explained to you, NOT TO TAKE BOGUS REGISTRATIONS IN THE FIRST FUCKING PLACE.

How many people register as Mickey Mouse at the CSPL? My guess is none. But with ACORN, we get the same guy registering 73 times. And nothing is done about it. :mad:

I have the same answer I had earlier in the thread. You know, before I fucked off.

So, if you knew ACORN wasn’t submitting every single registration, you’d be good with that? Good to know.

How about submitting just the legit ones? Is that so hard?

Close. Aside from a single paperback of Atlas Shrugged (with heavily doodled margins), it currently boasts dog-eared copies of *The Turner Diaries *and Everybody Poops.

You see, I do believe I heard someplace that they, in fact, are required by law to take them and submit them. You heard it here first.

Maybe they are required to submit them, but how are they required to take them? I doubt the law REQUIRES someone to participate in fraud.

So, to repeat, you’re ok w/ ACORN determining and deciding which are legit. Good to know.

I’m glad you asked that. Let’s set the stage:

doodly doop doodly doop doodly doop

You are the manager of the local ACORN office. One of your workers comes in, takes a stack of blank registration forms, and goes out to collect signatures.

Instead of collecting signatures, he goes to his buddy’s house and he and his friend sit at the kitchen table, drink several beers and fill out fake names on the forms.

He comes back to your office six hours later with the stack of filled out forms. You flip through them, notice “Mickey Mouse”, “Britney Spears,” “Shaquille O’Neal” and other suspicious names among the forms, send your worker home and start the process to have him fired, and submit the forms as you must do by law. After flagging them as suspicious, of course.

Don’t registrars ask for ID? If some jerk says he’s Mickey Mouse, without an ID, how does he even get a registration form?

So, apparently you trust ACORN registrants statements. Once again, good to know.

See, I believe that if ACORN employee stated that they screened out registrants that seemed to them ‘obviously illegitiment’, assholes like you would be screaming. You can’t have it both ways. You can accept that they turn them all in so that the real experts in this verify the legitimacy (which is current reality) or you allow folks you don’t trust to screen out registrants w/o you (or the legitimate folks) knowledge of who they’re screening out.

Registration forms, at least in Ohio, are available to anyone.

You can go to the Ohio website and download and print as many as you want. You can also request they mail you as many as you want. The forms are not restricted.
