The House, in a motion to recommit attached to the student loan bill, has voted overwhelmingly to de-fund ACORN. It was a bipartisan vote, with more than 300 members voting for the measure. (We'll get the full numbers/vote breakdown shortly.) This goes further than the Senate did; the Senate took money out of one bill. This is to de-fund the group completely -- for any money the House would appropriate. *** UPDATE *** House Minority Whip Eric Cantor's office just sent around this statement: “ACORN has violated serious federal laws, and today the House voted to ensure that taxpayer dollars would no longer be used to fund this corrupt organization. All federal ties should be severed with ACORN, and the FBI should investigate its activity. This united Republican effort to defund ACORN is a victory for the rule of law and taxpayers across the country.”

So MSM decides this is news-worthy? Fail ‘em all!
And the POTUS.
The bad news is that it was in a bill that is a government takeover of the student loan program.
>> 75 nays. Will be interesting to see who they were.
The entire congressional black caucus is in there, I bet.
As far as I’m concerned ACORN was backdoor reparations for the last forty years and nownit’s over. Good riddance to bad rubbish!
Woo hoo!!!!!!!!!
Just think: A 25 and 20 year old along with a recovering alcoholic “shock jock” did this. Not ABC/CBS/CNN/LAT/MSNBC/NBC/NYT/PBS/WaPo/WSJ!!

Now we need to clearly articulte that ACORN is/was operated in the same manner that ObamaCare would be operated.
I know there is probably a trick to all of this but on the surface, it seems that there ARE some decent democrats....but we’ll see....
Drudge has his SIREN up & running!!!
