And the Acorn Falls

You know the feeling when you are innocently walking along, and then BAM, a presumptuous little acorn smacks you right on your forehead?  Well, forget the small tree acorns, I'm referring to the organization ACORN, or the Association of Community Organizations for Reform, which has just pummeled the John McCain campaign.   
 
The controversy surrounding ACORN is their continuing "help" to register voters.  ACORN representations have stated that despite their numerous allegations, it's not the organization itself that is encouraging voter fraud, but it just so happens that it's ACORN members that have been caught with their hands in the cookie jar, so to speak.  

Meanwhile, ACORN's many violations for voter fraud has got the McCain campaign scrambling to squash the troublesome organization.  

ACORN works within the mainstream of politics, but there is a clear lean towards the left side. 
Founded in 1970, ACORN's true purpose, as stated on it's home website, is to "win power for low and moderate families."  Their goal may be in the right place, but their methods certainly aren't.   ACORN's phony voter registrations will undoubtedly have an effect on the election.  Again it just so happens that ACORN's false voter slips have all been registered as Democrats, and Obama has a past affiliation with ACORN.  

Quite literally it will be like an acorn falling and causing a painful knot to swell on the top of the McCain campaign's head.  Unexpected, but effective.
