Government in Action: House Votes to Cut All Funds to ACORN
Posted By Vicki McClure Davidson on September 17, 2009
Just breaking from Big Government:
Click here for vote results breakdown. Vote: 345 to 75. All 75 who voted to keep the money flowing to child prostitution supporter ACORN are Democrats… each and every one. The letter “D” after their names on the vote list must stand for despicable, deplorable, and dangerous.
I noticed a vast majority are Democrat elected officials in CALIFORNIA. Guess helping with child prostitution and income tax evasion (and as was revealed earlier, illegal human smuggling of young El Salvadoran sex slaves across the unsecured California/Mexico border) with taxpayers’ money coincide with their lofty ideas of “helping the poor.” They have shown no outrage or disgust or even MILD CONCERN over this ACORN sex-trafficking scandal… but most had ridiculously royal hissy fits over Rep. Joe Wilson’s “You lie” outburst last week.
The following caught my eye in a Washington Examiner report, House votes to cut off funding, but 75 stand by ACORN:
Notable for not voting: Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., a staunch defender of ACORN.
Coward and hypocrite.
Two kids with a bold idea and a lot of courage did this… two kids. Amazing.
From Twitter, Amanda Carpenter:
Issa on House ACORN vote: “The battle, however, to deny ACORN federal funding is not over until the President signs the bill into law”

Ztower: Striving to set themselves apart from the pack – 4 of the “15 most corrupt members of Congress” are among the 75 who refuse to defund ACORN.

Obama has painted himself into a corner.
He should avoid oak trees.
This is historic.
The liberal Democrats are being severely damaged, and may be for years to come.
Well said, AFVET… the rats are scurrying from the sinking ship. Should be a great show over the next few days.
O’Keefe and Giles should get a Pulitzer for this… of course they won’t, but they SHOULD.
