I’m dying to know who voted against it.

They should be first on the list for tarring and feathering.

Nonsense. ACORN will be given the money under another name.

Isn’t it amazing what honest investigative reporting can do?

The MSM should be ashamed of themselves! (If that’s even possible anymore). I mean how many network news agencies and major newspapers were just outdone by two independent amateurs.

ACORN has several different subgroups. And like a fly-by-night shoddy roofing company, I’ll bet dollars to doughnuts that if ACORN ever does get shut down, it will be back in ‘bidnez’ in 24 hours under a different name.

Let me guess. Could one be the senior senator from Mass?

What about the Senate?

What about the all-Democrat Conference Committee?

Can’t wait to see what idiots voted no on this.

Just speculating...

Kerry, Sanders, Feinstein, Burris, Franken, Harkin, Murray.

A sham vote! ACORN has already chaged its name. It will simply disappear into the numerous sub groups it already has and money will go to these individual groups “controlled” by the same people that now head ACORN (or whatever it calls itself today). Our tax money will go to the same people for the same causes just under a different distribution system. This vote gives cover to the Dims who voted for it with their constituencies and cover for those who voted against it for theirs.

Pelousy will see to it that any substantive language is stricken in the reconciliation with the house that follows.

Obama could NEVER let money be withheld from the organization that got him elected - just like the $10Bn to the unions to keep their health care system will not disappear from the “Health Reform” bill.

I hope Glenn Beck (with his investigative staff) is watching carefully and will keep us informed.

Durbin was one of them. I watched the tail end of the voting and he was the only no I heard.

If it get’s through congress and lands on obama’s desk, will he put his big boy pants on, man up, go against acorn and sign it? Or will he come up with some excuse for not signing it?

Acorn is a cancer spread like monster that has it’s fibrous strands into about 1000 organisations. There is no way to kill Acorn, except for the godam@n sun to nova! They are laughing all the way to the bank.
