This after just 5 months of funding by Zer0 in the ‘stimulus’ package.
Must be a record for stupid lawmaking.
This is hugely hugh and seriously series. A sea change. The collapse of the former MSM/Democratic axis of power.
“Fear not, they’ll re-fund them again somewhere else... like on page 1,797 of the healthcare bill or somepleace like that.”
EXACTLY what I was thinking. Can you say EARMARK? It will be attached last minute to something like a Defense Appropriation Bill.
OK...So it’s seventy *four* criminals, and one Martian.
Not to mention how many other entities that are supported with federal dollars provide ACORN with funding as well. People need to remember: money is fungible.
Pelosi might want to take note of his jitters.
We need more men like the one who called Rush yesterday to speak up and take a stand. They're the only ones who can break through.

Interesting. The AP site did switch me to another, apparently associated, site. But there was no problem or warning posting.
Or steer the stimulus money to them.
I’m wondering whether the House and Senate bills addressed the stimulus money earmarked for ACORN and similar groups?
I think I heard Hannity offer Hannah a job last night.
Where was Pelosi? Why didn’t she vote?
I’m astounded that Mel Watt, Socialist, NC, is not on that list.
Traditionally, the Speaker hardly ever casts a vote, unless it's necessary for passage or one of the big, important, extraordinary bills.
Be sure to don a surgical mask before you go there and wash your hands thoroughly afterward.
You have a stronger stomach than I do. I can’t stand the site. And I’m not even interested in what anybody there has to say. The MSM is bad enough.
Wouldn’t this make it easy, however, for all the corporations that pay “protection money”, i.e. B of A an Citibank to tell them to go fly a kite?
This is a first step in the right direction of reducing the federal deficit.
I thought the Senate bill only cut out funding to their housing arm.
We really need to read the bills.
I’ll tell you what. Jesse Jackson, Jr. has more pressing problems right now than not voting to defund ACORN. The FBI is very interested in his methods of campaigning for Barry’s old Senate seat.
Hold your fire on Nunes and Radanovich until more information is forthcoming. These guys are good conservatives and it is possible that they are in California today to support a water issue that is going to be broadcast on Hannity. I will stick my neck out and state that there is no way in hell that either of them would have voted "No" or "Present" on reducing funding for ACORN.
