When was the last time any ACORN leader resigned?

When is the last time an ACORN leader had a job that he/she could resign from?

why does he have to resign?? i’m so tired of pussy republicans with no balls. they are worse that liberals.

He's not the coward, DLA Piper is. His leaving was "mutual," meaning they asked him to resign. He says that he agrees with their reasons, and if the firm is being threatened by the forces of the gubmint, they feel that they have no choice.

Some pledge their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor (Armey), but most curl up in a ball and wish it would all go away (DLA Piper).

I saw him on TV last week-—he didn’t look like a happy camper about this mess!

I can relate to your not wanting to run yourself ... it would never suit me either, personally, (it’s that half a brain thing) but I’ve made a point of finding candidates who I could support by doing gopher volunteer work .. gotta start somewhere.

On the constitutional qualifications issues, I am a pure agnostic. I just believe the American people have a right to have the documents produced. If he’s a natural born citizen, fine. Not wedded to his being NOT a natural born citizen. Or his being a Muslim, or whatever ... I just want the docs produced, including college records, but esp the bc.

It certainly frees him to speak out as it did Palin. I believe that's a good thing.

And I don't think the public needed anyone to nudge them to speak up. Wikipedia is so obviously biased. *sigh*

“The Drug Companies had hired Armey’s lobby shop to lobby Congress in support of Obamacare. Armey refused to support Obamacare - so the firm gave him a choice: support Obamacare or seek work elsewhere. Many GOPers on K street are supporting Obamacare - an obvious example is former Congressman Billy Tauzin.”

How can this be? Isn’t this the lobby Armey founded?

Or are you referring to the law firm?

Geesh - no true GOPer is supprting that.
It must be bought off RHINO’s.

My apology ... it's late. It's the law firm.

Still wouldn't Armey have a lawsuit against them for this coercion?

“Army is not an attorney, he’s a lobbyists, the firm other clients are Pissed. “

Armey’s FreedomWorks takes the Bush/McCain/Palin position and FAVORS comprehensive immigration reform and supports a path to citizenship for illegal aliens = AMNESTY

I know, Dick Army , Newt and Gramm, got the republican majority canned. It was all about them and their personal agendas.
