Senate de-funds ACORN, but seven stand by them

So if the house concurs and the bill hits Obamas desk, will he veto it and if he does, will it get overridden?

I am not surprised at the vote of the two Senators from both Vermont aand Illinois. I don't know enough about WHITEHOUSE fro RI. I only hope that his name is not indicative of his future aspirations.

The surprise for me is senator Bob Casey from Pennsylvania. His father was a fine Governor of the Keystone State a generation ago.

Sometime the apple falls very far From the tree indeed!

Let's go to the heart of the matter. The folks standing by Acorn are buying into the Acorn program of providing federal government subsidies and assistance for the establishment of brothels filled with under-age children.

That means that Sheldon Whitehouse, Roland Burris, Dick Durbin, Bernie Sanders, Patrick Leahy, Bob Casey and Kirsten Gillibrand are not fit to serve in public office and should probably be watched very carefully.

Frankly I'm not surprised to find out about this aspect of their lives when it comes to Durbin, Leahy and Sanders, but the others?

Just exactly what is it Acorn has over them? Murder perhaps? Theft? Buggery? Just what? It's gotta' be good for them to vote this way.

THE PEOPLE NEED TO BE MADE TO EXPLAIN WHY THEY VOTED TO FUND A CORRUPT ORGANIZATION!

Hold their feet to the fire by simply demanding an explanation.

that’s where the FBI, IRS and Justice Dept. needs to look into voter fraud and RICO violations on filing false documents for loans, housing applications, and hopefully federal grants... by using the MAIL. Which would make it FEDERAL offense and punishable by minimum mandatory sentences.

Imagine having a Whitehouse Whitehouse!

The apple never falls far from the tree, but sometimes it rolls down the hill into the gutter.

That has to be the DUMBEST 7 Senators that were EVER elected!

And they will get elected again by the same clowns that elected them the first time.

It is well known, thanks to FOX NEWS that ACORN is changing its name to COI. I don’t think even the US CONGRESS wants to get caught with their pants down on that one even if it is only FOX NEWS covering the story.

” I hear there is a startup organization trying to get on their feet... “

Oh, is that the group “Just Plain Nuts” I’ve been seeing around here?

There is talk that Giuliani is considering a run for the Senate from New York instead of a run for governor. He would probably do better in the Senate run against Gillibrand. She has reversed just about everything she supported when she was an upstate Congresswoman....she was told by Senator Charles E. (Chucky) Schumer that as a Senator she had broader responsibilities than she did as a representative.

“ACORN said the Senate’s action was disappointing but would have little impact on its overall operations.”
<p.
That is because they will get other taxpayers funded money as a new fledgling Organization called COI(Community Organizers International).

eyep..I did

I would keep a keen out out for any ACORN connections to incidents of domestic terrorism, now that they have been exposed and cut off from their “sugar daddy” the withdrawal pains will begin. And just like a junky they will steal anything to support the habit.

Too bad, the new regulations for banks does not require disclosure of deposits held from community action groups.

[bestintxas]

Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I.
Roland Burris, D-Ill.
Dick Durbin, D-Ill.
Bernie Sanders, D-Vt.
Patrick Leahy, D-Vt.
Bob Casey, D-Pa.

they are all targets.

note: people in Vermont and Illinois should be particularly irritated.

sad but true.

"....she was told by Senator Charles E. (Chucky) Schumer that as a Senator she had broader responsibilities than she did as a representative. "

Liberal Translation: As a US Senator, she has a broader field to do some real broken field running at the expense of the taxpayers.
