ACRONWASHINGTON - The House voted Thursday to deny all federal funds for ACORN in a GOP-led strike against the scandal-tainted community organizing group that comes just three days after the Senate took similar action. "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," said second-ranked House Republican Eric Cantor of Virginia.
The vote, on a provision attached to a student aid bill, was 345-75, with Democrats supplying all the "no" votes.
On Monday the Senate voted 83-7 to deny housing and community grant funding to ACORN, which stands for the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now.
Republicans accelerated their attacks on the liberal-leaning group a year ago when ACORN, in conducting a massive voter registration drive, was accused of submitting some false registration forms.
On a hidden-camera video released on Monday, two ACORN employees are seen apparently advising a couple that was posing as a prostitute and her pimp to lie about her profession and launder her earnings. The video was the latest in a series that has already led to the firing of four ACORN employees in Baltimore and Washington. It was created by James O'Keefe and Hannah Giles and posted on BigGovernment.com, where O'Keefe identifies himself as an activist filmmaker.
ACORN spokesman Scott Levenson blasted the video shot at the organization's Brooklyn office, saying the group believes the voices of the couple were dubbed over to alter the conversation and make the interaction appear more objectionable than it may have been.
ACORN said Wednesday that it is ordering its own independent investigation of the incidents, while stressing that they were isolated cases.
The Census Bureau, meanwhile, also has severed its ties with the group for the 2010 national cens
OOPPSS !!!!!!!!

The Cure sure does talk a lot of trash. I bet in real life - he is just a little twerp with mommy issues - or gets bossed around by his wife. This forum is his way to feel like a "man" if that is possible.

Just because you can't be the boss at home doesn't make that an obvious situation for the rest of us. My wife and I make decisions together. Ask your wife if you two can try it.

LOL................i saw him in the Wal-Mart yesterday.......
Now lets get back on topic
The Acorn 75
Yesterday the House voted 345-75 to ban all federal funding for the scandal-plagued advocacy group Acorn. Coming on the heels of the Census Bureau's dissociation with Acorn last week and the Senate's Monday vote denying it housing funds, this is a welcome decision.
But the fact that there were 75 "no" votes is shocking, even for this Congress. All of the nays came from Democrats. Along with far-left backbenchers, they included Charles Rangel, Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, and Henry Waxman, who heads the Energy and Commerce Committee. Both are key leaders in the ObamaCare effort.
One of Acorn's leading Congressional enablers has been Representative Barney Frank of Massachusetts. Last year Mr. Frank appeared in a promotional video for "Acorn's Grassroots Democracy Campaign," and this year he led the effort to repeal a year-old legal provision barring groups from receiving housing subsidies while under indictment for voter fraud. This he called "a violation of the basic principles of due process." Mr. Frank was absent yesterday when the House voted to defund Acorn, although he had been on the House floor for another vote just half an hour earlier.
The House vote came a day after the release of the latest video by freelance investigators James O'Keefe and Hannah Giles, who crisscrossed the country posing as a pimp and prostitute. Employees in at least five different Acorn offices offered them help in setting up a child-prostitution business. If that isn't enough to persuade 75 Democrats to stop supporting Acorn with taxpayer money, one can only conclude that the only way they'd defund the outfit is if it endorsed the war in Iraq or Afghanistan.

if you are so bad, why do you hide behind false identities on the internet. sure, you are ten-feet-tall and bulletproof while sitting in your mom's basement typing away. why don't you come on out of the closet, if you dare. but no, you won't. what's the matter, can't stand up like a man? mama won't let you? or maybe your diaper gets in the way. wake up, Cure, you can't be that big a fool...well, maybe you are. hey, i'll give you a note or a hall pass so you can come out of there and man up. but that may just be too much for you, is that it? come on, man, cut those apron strings, surely you must have a pair somewhere.
