They will just change the name of ACORN. It will be NROCA or CORN A. The govt is so corrupt.

[Sarah Barracuda]

Obama is already going through the mourning process. Finally some good news.

[Cicero]

Wow!

I think this is only one source of gov funding for ACORN, but it’s still excellent news.

Now, go after the rest of their funding, and block the handouts from Porkulus.

[MamaDearest]

Now they need to call for investigation into each and every ACORN involved loan transacted. Think of it as “non-stimulus job creation.”

Michelle Malkin is all over this:

Durbin was a no. I’ll have the rest soon.

The final roll call vote – amendment passes 83-7. I’ll post the full roll when it’s up on the Senate site.

This is the beginning, not the end.

The Dems are finally, finally on the defensive on ACORN.

Republicans, keep digging and pushing and connecting the dots

i just don’t believe it will really happen.

[TigersEye]

What percentage of $8.5 billion are the housing funds?

[Cindy]

Who are the seven who voted against it?

[FreeperinRATcage]

Let not get all excited yet. Anything passed by the senate has to be recociled with the house version. That’s a different thing altogether.

We need to make ACORN totally toxic to deal with..even for the wicked witch of San Francisco.

These young JOURNALISTS should be given a Pulitzer, but they will probably just get a rasberry from the Govt Controled Media.
Just wait til the rest of their tapes comes out.
The reason that Acorn was able to do these things is that they were never challenged by our supposed watch dog media. They were always to one directing the media where to go and what to say..they just never had to stand up to any scrutiny. Lots of them should be in jail.

ACORN has hundreds of front groups that will still be elgible for these funds.

[diamond6]

I totally agree!

[elizabethgrace]

They’re worse than pathetic.

[avacado]

Heroes! They get prettier by the day! Hannah Giles on the left.

[GeronL]

they have hundreds of front groups across the country

[HerrBlucher]

Yeah, I think 912 was a powerful laxative for the communofascists!

[stripes1776]

That is the funniest cartoon I have seen in a long time. Thanks for posting that.

[elizabethgrace]

Durbin is one.

Michelle Malkin hasn’t posted the other six names yet.
