Under the guise of “consumer advocacy,” ACORN has received money from the Department of Housing and Urban Development. HUD funds hundreds, if not thousands, of left-wing “anti-poverty” groups across the country led by ACORN. Last October, HUD announced more than $44 million in new housing-counseling grants to over 400 state and local efforts. The White House has increased funding for housing counseling by 150 percent since George W. Bush took office in 2001, despite the role most of these recipients play as activist satellites of the Democratic Party. The AARP scored nearly $400,000 for training; the National Council of La Raza (“The Race”) scooped up more than $1.3 million; the National Urban League raked in nearly $1 million; and the ACORN Housing Corporation received more than $1.6 million.

WTF???

There's one thing in our esteemed leader (GWB) considering the office of Presidency to be such an ignoble position not to be tarnished by the likes of demeaning himself by EVER defending himself against scurrilous attacks, much less EVER go on the offense in criticizing any opponents, but yet another matter all together when agencies under the Administrative Branch (which last time I checked he "controls") are allowed to provide the proverbial rope (funding) to his/our enemies with which they wish to hang and destroy Bush and us Conservatives as a group and seriously undermine the Conservative movement.

Come on George, how about forgetting all the niceties of the Presidency; grow a pair or ask Nancy Pelosi, Ted Kennedy, Harry Reid, et al, to release "yours" from the lock box they put "them" in back in 2001 and act like a real "Conservative" man (can you say Ronaldus Maximus) for a change.

Can Junuary 20th 2009, come soon enough? As someone who voted for W twice, I suggest NOT!!!!

Anything with the word “Community” in it is suspect in my book - it’s code for free lunch and gimme money!
