I understand the bloggers put in bluntly, as in "child-**oring pimp backers." Fox News reports that shortly after the blogs started picking up speed, a number of 'rats changed their votes.

Just an amazing coincidence, I'm sure.

This is a huge blow to Obama.

Is it an acknowledgment that congress critters now see Obama as a political liability to their own political survival?

Yes, Gillibrand.

Oh yeah...the one causing all the concern among democrats fearing she was "too conservative."
I guess they'll rest easy now.

Is this the 8.5 billion dollars from the stimulus package they are supposed to get? Oh, did any Senators vote “Present”? I hear they do that sometimes...

“Now we're going to have to keep their feet to the fire to make sure the defunding sticks.”

Anyone that really believes that the DemonRATs aren't going to funnel money into the same people under different disguises, are probably delusional. Acorn and it's subsidiaries are paid tools of the DemonRAT corruption machine. They will have to find a way to refund them prior to the next election cycle, they don't have time to invent new schemes.

ACORN will simply become WALNUT or CASHEW or whatever. They’ll fly under the radar screen either way. They are NOT out of the game. The jerks that voted to “de-fund” them will get accolades from their constituents and be voted back in. And the vicious circle continues.

Something truly devastating is fixing to break. Its got to be bad for ACORN’s staunchest defenders to turn tail and run with almost no debate.

Kinda looking that way, isn't it?

He may be a turd, but he’s our turd.

Just sent the turd a nastygram. In about 2 months, I will receive a happy little form email telling me about all the great stuff he’s doing for PA.

Spit.

Too bad the rest of us can’t vote Illinois and Vermont out of the Union.

Actually, I think we can. But it would probably take a Constitutional Convention to do it.

U.S Senate denies funds for poverty group

EXCERPT

ACORN said the Senate’s action was disappointing but would have little impact on its overall operations.

I just sent this along to my cousin who lives in Bloomington. I told her to get out of the Peoples Republic of Illinois and move across the river to Missouri where we at least can carry guns!
