20 % of Americans still worried about ACORN, according to PPP
Edited on Tue Sep-14-10 01:23 PM by Mass
I guess those are the same ones who believe Obama is a Muslim.

I wonder, however, why they polled about ACORN, given it does not exist anymore?

Still Worried About ACORN
A new Public Policy Polling survey finds that ACORN "may not exist anymore but 20% of Americans still think (or at least say they think) it will steal the election to keep Democrats in control of Congress this fall."

5. ACORN may be dead but it will be replaced with a similar organization.
The people working for ACORN did not just disappear.

6. There's a reason. Unscrupulous Republicans, Teabaggers spreading rumor in Florida ACORN is behind
two ballot amendments to the Florida Constitution on Fair Districts--regarding State and Congressional redistricting.

They have no shame and no integrity.
