Public says 'Nuts!' to ACORN

Voters are saying nuts to ACORN, A Rasmussen poll on voter attitudes towards ACORN today shows that 51% of voters want the government to stop funding ACORN.

"A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that just 17% favor continued taxpayer support of the Association for Community Organizations for Reform Now. Thirty-two percent (32%) are not sure."

Not only do a majority of voters want to cut off funding for ACORN, the details show a negative "passion index" deeper than the Grand Canyon.

Only 15% of voters now have even a somewhat favorable opinion of ACORN, while 67% have an unfavorable view of the group. Those figures include only three percent (3%) with a very favorable opinion and 47% with a very unfavorable view.

BO’s ties to ACORN and the footage of his speech to them enlisting their help to pass his agenda needs to be hammered home everytime the subject comes up.

“Thirty-two percent (32%) are not sure”

ABC, CNBC, CBS, and CNN watchers who “haven’t heard about it”.

[RockinRight]

That 17% still support funding is bothersome...

Is ACORN on the verge of being crushed and thrown away?

[Nervous Tick]

There will always be a certain percentage, drawn heavily from particular demographics, that will vote their own self interest, rather than what’s best for the country.

Clear as mud?

If the democrats are smart, yes. ACORN is now a poisoned name. Even if they can outlast this, and that doesn't appear likely, it will always be considered corrupt. It will be much harder for them to run their race/extortion game. It will now always be easy to start investigations. Fox and the Internet will now have justification for looking over their shoulders. The MSM will still ignore anything that looks bad for a liberal, but the MSM increasingly no longer matters. Once you have been caught doing something this big you can never legitimately claim it is a witch hunt.

Of course we can always hope that they are too proud to give up. When playing poker you always want to be up against someone who doesn't know when to fold.

They probably either work for ACORN or are receipients of the Acorn get out the vote thugs

[greyfox]

ACORN is not only a corrupt partisan organization but also the symbol of what is wrong with the Democratic party. If there was any doubt as to what lengths they would go to promote their agenda, this expose of ACORN should remove it.
ACORN is symbolic of the Obama Regime. Along with all the other “FOB” Friends of Obama, Wright, Ayers and most of the appointees he has surrounded himself with should start to register on the average American that there is something pretty foul going on here.

Hell, we have that many commies and black militants.

Keep showing the Obama/ACORN film.....until everyone has seen it.

OMG, I forgot about that!

I find it remarkable that a majority know enough about ACORN to even have an opinion. The fact that 51% favor negative action is extraordinary, IMO.

That maze is way too complicated, no wonder the liberals could never see what kind of organization ACORN is.
