"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."

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

Absolutely NOT, thus an attempt at an amendment.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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!

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.

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.

Bumper sticker suggestion:

ACORN
Working hard to provide child prostitution in your neighborhood.

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

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.
