Remember folks, ACORN was funded by the BUSH ADMINISTRATION

[Oztrich Boy]

But the fact is that President Obama was merely an employee of sorts of ACORN

The employees of sorts of ACORN are the ones enabling illegal activities.

[Mr. K]

So what.. we should think that is OK? Because it was started by a republican (or RINO)

WE DONT ACT LIKE DEMOCRAPS

WE THINK BUSH WAS EQUALLY STUPID ON MANY ECONOMIC ISSUES (JUST LIKE HIS IDIOT FATHER RUINED REAGANS LEGACY)

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

Good, I love him too

Of course you do, everybody who aspires to be on his payroll loves him!

[DJ MacWoW]

Keep trolling for Clinton.

[ohiogrammy]

Amen to that, anyone who ever thought Bush was a conservative has hopefully realized he wasn’t!

[Captain Kirk]

I don’t troll for any politician including “no new taxes bush” and “I never had sex with that woman” Clinton. 95 percent or more of the whole Demopublican lot of psychopathic liars. What is YOUR theory?

[Freedom_Is_Not_Free]

As if Conservatives have any love for Baby Bush. We all know he was part of the problem.

[freekitty]

You can say that again. The man needs to go down.

[Rockingham]

"A lot of Republicans are in a foamy rage against the grass roots, whom they feel failed to be adequately supportive of the Bush administration, helping the Democrats take over Congress in 2006."

Do not take isolated comments on this forum as indicative of what Republican leaders and operatives think. From early 2006 on, there was was much worry in those circles about how the Bush administration's policy mistakes and deviations from conservative principle would affect the enthusiasm and turnout of the Republican base.

You fail Government-101. The President, or the President’s Administration funds nothing. The Congress authorizes and appropriates money.

[Jabba the Nutt]

I remember back in the 90's responding to RNC letters begging for money to tell them that they'll get money from me, when they defund the Left. I resent it that the Republican controlled Congress would tax me to fund my and their political opposition. How stupid can you be?

Reason #79 for why the GOP is a minority in Congress.

[dangus]

Did you quit your education at the third grade? Congress appropriated the funds, allowing the administration to make grants. The Bush Administration gave the grants to ACORN. Oh, and by the way, I refer specifically to 2003-2006 for a reason: Congress was led by the GOP and Bush’s handpicked RINOs led the party apparati (NRSC, RNCC, RNC).

[CharacterCounts]

Yup. Ross Perot worked so well for us.

I think we will have a successful third party, sooner rather than later. There is a huge rift in the Republican party right now. Many conservatives and independents no longer trust the Republicans. Look at the current situation, Massive discontent over the Democrats attempts to socialize the country. Yet, the Republican party has been unable to capitalize. This rift has the potential to split the party in two if it widens and deepens.

Don't assume that a third party is going to come from the outside. It could just as easily come from a coalition of fiscally conservative, small government insiders,and that type of third party can succeed. This is how the Republican party came into being in the first place.

[jpsb]

"President Bush was the one " that drove me out of the Republican party. GOP no more, thanks to W. I know my one vote doesn't mean much but I think W drove out alot more then just me.

[what's up]

So you're saying that if Pres. Bush had come out and said he was revoking all funds for what the MSM would have broadly called a "poverty organization" he would have been lauded as a hero.

Got it.

[CharacterCounts]

The federal budget process starts out with a detailed budget request from the president outlining the administrations recommendations for fiscal policy, and ends with a signature by the president approving budget bill.

To try to put the whole thing on Congress alone is silly.

[Major Matt Mason]

Just more bad judgement by Bush. But who cares? We want them defunded, at least of taxpayer dollars. Let George Soros fund these criminals.

[jpsb]

Well said, Clinton was the most conservative president since Reagan, crazy but true ....

I think the election of 1994 had a little to do with that.

[dangus]

>> So you’re saying that if Pres. Bush had come out and said he was revoking all funds for what the MSM would have broadly called a “poverty organization” he would have been lauded as a hero. <<

No, he just didn’t have to choose ACORN to make the grants to. Good lord, can’t anyone on this thread READ???

[dangus]

Read the article, huh? It was a warning against letting any old socialist with an R after his name slip into office.
