House votes to stop funding for ACORN, Senate leadership [Pelosi] unaware of any such idea –
Pelosi clueless

With last Friday night’s statement from a White House spokesperson saying the “Tea Party” march was unknown there, one has to wonder if our current politicians even listen to each other never mind we non-politicians.

The current politicians refuse to listen to constituents, insist dissenters are Nazis, Pelosi wants an apology from Wilson but Rangel’s behavior does not concern her, and ACORN is not really affiliated with Obama [???] and the 35+ Czars are not REALLY czars and the Prez has never called them that! Is Rod Serling anywhere nearby?

There’s good news, bad news and ugly news on that front.

The good – Unlike the Senate’s ban, it is a sweeping one, involving all federal funds and partnerships, involving any group having significant ties to ACORN, and ensuring that a mere name change won’t let ACORN’s successor back at the trough.

The bad – That has to survive the Senate (or get put back in at conference committee).

The ugly – It’s attached to a full-on government takeover of college student loans.

Prediction – It’s gone in the Senate (just like the Senate’s limited ban of housing money specifically for ACORN will be gone in conference).

They think we’re stupid, as they have demonstrated again and again. This is a tactic intended to quiet the peasants, and the defunding provisions will be stripped out in committee.

Just watch. They’re expecting this to blow over, and ACORN will be sucking on the federal tit again soon.

Ditto. They won’t kill ACORN–too many minority votes at stake and more corruption to uphold.

I agree…we need to watch the bills as they go through both houses. They are hoping this will all blow over and that the public has a short attention span. I think that we should have staged our Tea Party Event for a “working” day for Congress and hit every Congressman and senator that was there. As some of my friends said, this last assemblage was friendly and conducted itself well. The next one may not be so pretty. I suggested we bring along tents and stage a sit-in, refusing to leave until our demands are met…i.e. no universal health care, defunding of corrupt government adjuncts, investigations into tax fraud and evasion by congressmen and senators, the end of cap-and-trade,etc.

As it is we can still pick up the phone,fax and email congress. Send them a message and shut down the government servers!

Yes, this is good news, but I have to wonder why so many Democrats suddenly “got religion”.

Vote fraud charges in more than a dozen states and numerous convictions didn’t bother them.

Embezzlement of funds didn’t bother them. Neither did ACORN’s refusal to allow an independent auditor to review their records.

But suddenly, two enterprising young journalists catch ACORN flunkies on tape doing what ACORN flunkies are paid to do, and it’s an outrage? It doesn’t add up.

For the leftists, it’s a smoke screen. It’s a way to get you to stop watching ACORN. Steve and Kate are right. The left thinks this will pacify most of the citizens.

I’d watch the back door very closely. ACORN is connected with a boatload of other unsavory organizations – SEIU, for example. All that the Democrats need to do is channel the money that ACORN is now getting over to one of the other front groups, and you can bet it’ll be laundered over to the same ACORN crowd.

And I’m just real sure the fox investigating this chickenhouse is going to do a real bang-up job, too. Why, if you can’t trust such an upstanding group to pick an unbiased and honest investigator, who can you trust? The President?

I expect a call from them to write up a report any day now, before the investigation gets started. Investigating is so much easier when one knows the results ahead of time.
