The idea that ACORN was encouraging poor people to buy homes is ridiculous. ACORN's only concern is that it's seeking representation from disenfranchised voters who represent the less well-heeled citizens in the voting booth.

It's simple. Republicans don't want poor people to vote. Democrats do.

Republicans want to suppress the vote. Democrats want everyone to vote.

If you don't believe me, just check out what Paul Weyrich has to say derisively about
"goo-goo government. He doesn't want everyone to vote.

In short, Republicans don't want democracy. Democrats do.
