On Wednesday, the House Financial Services Committee held a hearing on the proposed Consumer Financial Protection Agency (example #12,567 that government’s solution to any problem is more government.) Appearing on a panel of self-appointed ‘consumer advocates’ was Anna Burger, political director for SEIU, a.k.a ACORN’s big brother.

Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-NC) used his question time to ask Ms. Burger about ACORN. She drops a stunner, “SEIU has cut all ties to ACORN.” Watch the video below:

I think ACORN has firmly placed SEIU right on the Bus’s front bumper.

ACORN and SEIU are the same organism. Trying to parse them is just mis-direction, just trying to blow fog over the landscape to sneak away.

Self Preservation is a strong instinct. The problem I see is that a bunch of ACORN people will likely appear elsewhere doing the same things. The up side is that it will take time.

I suspect before long they will BOTH be under that bus (”acorn has problems? Well tan my hide, I had NO idea. Oh, say hi to Granny, hillary, Van and all the rest under there”)

Now, when they are both there, I want to be the driver that has the gear shift to D for a second or so then R for a second or so and then D for a second or so...

BS. They are one in the same. SEIU is the govt & hotel workers plus illegal alien union.

ACORN thugs will just move to SEIU or some new group. These people are evil and they are marxists.

““SEIU has cut all ties to ACORN.” “

Uh huh.....sure......no problem....

And you may ask yourself-well...how did I get here?

Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/after the moneys gone
Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground.

Same as it ever was...same as it ever was...same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...same as it ever was...same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...same as it ever was...

And you may tell yourself
My god!...what have I done?
