Does it matter that the issue of ACORN is nothing more than speculation at this stage and there's always the possibility (I consider it a certainty) that the investigation will turn out to be an election gimmick concocted by unscrupulouos people who know full well it's a lot of bull.

Does it matter that ACORN is now being investigated for voter fraud? Does it matter that Obama is not directly tied to Acorn now? Does it matter that being "under investigation" in the USA does not yet constitute guilt and a trial can always end with a verdict of guilt ("innocent until proven guilty", right?). The truth will come out (and probably be ignored by you) only after the damage is done. That's what an election gimmick is for.
