[RummyChick]

OH crap..I messed up the title because I couldn’t cut and paste. It is suppose to be Amendment.

[bamahead]

Good move by this Senator.

Let’s see the Dems defend this racket on the floor, front and center.

[The Magical Mischief Tour]

Attach it to everything in DC, including Obama’s paycheck!!!

[JoSixChip]

Like this has any chance at air time, much less getting passed in any form. You are witnessing the most corrupt alignment of government and media in history. Very few options left.

[Jeff Head]

Amen! Now this is legisaltion we should all support.

ACORN are the marxists foot soldoers amongst us.

OBAMA IS A MARXIST IDEOLOGUE

A PETITION ON FACEBOOK FOR CONSTITUTIONAL RESTORATION

[SlayerOfBunnies]

Nice try but fat chance this thing will ever get passed.

[RummyChick]

I don’t agree. A similiar move was done in March - vote 53 to 43 with 2 Democrats voting for it according to WSJ.

I think this expose that involves child human trafficking will create a toxic enviroment for anyone protecting ACORN in Congress. Beck has a blockbuster tomorrow. Let’s see what it is.

[Earthdweller]

"Let’s see the Dems defend this racket on the floor, front and center."

Dems?...the Republicans voted for funding this when they had control of Congress. I would say the Dems are run by all Commie crooks and Republicans are more than half, greedy, bought and paid for, socialists at this point. Your faith is misplaced. They all need to go.

[stephenjohnbanker]

“Attach it to everything in DC, including Obama’s paycheck!!!”

Yeah!

[Maverick68]

This might have a better chance of passing than you might think:
The election is coming and ACORN is now an albatross around the neck of the Dems. If they don’t do something about ACORN, the voters will be hearing plenty about a group that enables child-pornographers...

[ConservativeMan55]

bttt

[RummyChick]

I hope the Pimp went to Al Franken’s state. ACORN is why he won.

[Anti-Bubba182]

This is a good idea that I give little chance with Democrats in power. Even if you do get rid of ACORN, the same crooks will appear elsewhere under another name.

They need a RICO investigation and to put some people in jail. Does anybody think Attorney General Holder would do this?

[JoSixChip]

Well I certainly like you scenario better then mine. But I fear there may be a rose colored tinge to your glasses. I am getting pretty pessimistic these days.

[reegs]

Can we add a line item that says all elections in which ACORN assisted in voter turn-out is null and void??? LOL

[Tzimisce]

It’s DOA. But thanks for trying.

[Vaquero]

call it the squirrel amendment.....and lets bust zer0bamas acorns......

[RummyChick]

Anyone who votes no on this amendment can have it hung around their neck in 2010 - especially if tomorrow’s video is as big as Beck says.

[Boiling Pots]

The fact his co-religionist Coleman voted for TARP may have had to so something with it too.

[Diogenesis]

"Hi. I'm from ACORN. Obama gave me $900,000 so you could get some 'change'.
You just fill out your names and addresses on these cards, and I'll just sign your names.
My, this is your lucky day. After me, you each get new super jumbo subprime mortgages."

[LaybackLenny]

LOL...Need to get new glasses...thought the headline said “defends” instead of “defunds” and I nearly blew a gasket!!

[Boiling Pots]

The question is, will Dingy let it make it to the floor?

[rockinqsranch]

“Does anybody think Attorney General Holder would do this?”

Absolutely NOT, thus an attempt at an amendment.

[bamahead]

Ahem....my faith is hardly misplaced on the GOP. Please see my profile for further clarification.

I simply applaud this move because it forces the Dems to defend continuing to fund it, publicly.

[the anti-liberal]

They need to make sure this action includes COI - Community Organizers International - the new name ACORN gave themselves.

[LaybackLenny]

...especially if tomorrow’s video is as big as Beck says.

Do tell. Was this on Beck's radio show? If so, missed it...

[RummyChick]

I didn’t hear it. saw another poster. Said Beck won’t be spending much time on this tape but most of the hour tomorrow will be on another one.

[Crim]

Dont feel bad....I read it too fast and got “johnus brothers defend Acorn”

Wha?

Doh’

[Western Phil]

Johanns if Nebraska’s new senator. Replaces pro-Sadaam what’s his name. I’ve seen good things from him. He needs our support and encouragement.

[stephenjohnbanker]

No way the Dims can defend ACORN. Buyt if they try, we hang the noose around their necks!

[browardchad]

I think this expose that involves child human trafficking will create a toxic enviroment for anyone protecting ACORN in Congress.

Unfortunately, that "protecting" includes cowards on our side of the aisle, afraid to be called out as "racists" for the slightest criticism of ACORN.

So, let the cowards try and defend child sex slavery.

Keep up the drumbeat!

[Earthdweller]

Forces the Dems to defend what? They are making deals in the halls with Republicans as we speak to get more “stimulus money”(see Acorn money)to line their own pockets. They don't give a rats behind about your applause, they all all ignoring us. They are crooks and they need to go.

[a fool in paradise]

As in Animal House “they even took the stuff we didn’t steal”. That is the purpose of RICO, defund them completely. Don’t just get a refund on the tax dollars that were misappropriated and use to provide criminal training.

[sjmjax]

Bumper sticker suggestion:

ACORN
Working hard to provide child prostitution in your neighborhood.

[bamahead]

Well then let those Repubs stand with the Dems in defending ACORN and voting down this amendment. Sunlight is the best disinfectant!

[LaybackLenny]

No way the Dims can defend ACORN.

Oh I don't know. Their shame knows no bounds. To you and me, ACORN is indefensible; to the dims, just another day at the office.

Buyt if they try, we hang the noose around their necks!

From your lips to God's ears. But so far everytime we "hang the noose around their necks" the knot slips.

Bottom line: I don't mean to be a "Debbie Downer." I sincerely hope you're right. I know the tide seems to be turning and no one will be happier than me. However, my cynicism is showing.

[wiggen]

i want to hear them wailing and lamenting as their offices are shuttered. i will take off work to be there on they day they close.

[tcrlaf]

Defend ACORN????
Why... Why...

(You knew it was coming, right??

THAT’S RACIST!!!!!

[Earthdweller]

Don't you get it?...the Repubs are on easy street right now...they don't have to really “vote”; with so many Dems in the house. They pick a few guys to make a good “show”...usually the ones who have a safe seat. And then laugh about it all in the halls. It's all a side show and cash cow for crooks right now. This is the reason no one is investigating Acorn.

[stephenjohnbanker]

Your cynicism is based on rational deduction, not negative thinking. If we fail to picket the MSM, and fail to relentlessly pound on Obama, we are finished. The bought and paid for RINO RNC leadership will do nothing to help us.

[Dream Warrior]

Alinsky rule # 10; “Keep the pressure on...” This is OUR chance to use Alinsky against these Marxists.

Freepers, let's commit to calling at least one US Representative and two US Senators demanding an investigation of ACORN.

You can get extra credit if you call more than three.

KEEP THE PRESSURE ON!

[MrB]

Hmmm...

Somehow I don’t think calling this amendment, or its sponsor, “racist”

is going to cut the mustard this time.

“Racers” can go pee up a rope.

[Jane Austen]

BTTT

[Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!]

Thank God.

What took so long?

[Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!]

[Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!]

BTW I heard that on the 60 minutes interview he said he plans to be TOTUS for a long time...

So Rahm leaked the sacrifice one-termer bull crap or what?

[ApplegateRanch]

thought the headline said “defends” instead of “defunds” and I nearly blew a gasket!!

Glad it wasn't just me. LOL!

[veracious]

Yay Johanne! Courage at last.
