I thought acorn was suppose to be a non partisan organization?

not only that why does acorn say they do not receive govt funding when they clearly do. Why do they make up names to register to vote and tell people who to vote for? Obama says he has no connection to acorn, but it is a fact that he has recieved money from acorn and also given acorn over 800,000. he has totally denied this claim but a member of his campaign even said obama was not telling the whole truth? whats the difference between the whole truth and a lie?
