The housing bill signed Wednesday by President George W. Bush will provide a stream of billions of dollars for distressed homeowners and communities and the nonprofit groups that serve them.

Brody Mullins/The Wall Street Journal Acorn volunteers registered people to vote in late July. One of the biggest likely beneficiaries, despite Republican objections: Acorn, a housing advocacy group that also helps lead ambitious voter-registration efforts benefiting Democrats.

Acorn -- made up of several legally distinct groups under that name -- has become an important player in the Democrats' effort to win the White House. Its voter mobilization arm is co-managing a $15.9 million campaign with the group Project Vote to register 1.2 million low-income Hispanics and African-Americans, who are among those most likely to vote Democratic. Technically nonpartisan, the effort is one of the largest such voter-registration drives on record.

Thank you George Bush for signing the housing bill this morning. We now get to see our nation destroyed because of your foolish decision.

Sorry, the second paragraph should read:

For anybody who hasn’t heard .. Acorn is the organization Obama worked with or for as a “community organizer”.

Never forget it was the Ohio group of Acorn that was prosecuted for their criminal activity during the 2004 election (I think it was 2004).

I do remember some of the activity was registering dead people, and also registering Alzheimer’s patients so someone else could vote for them.

We give millions to pro-democrap groups. Mindbogglingly ignorant policy.

[Bon mots]

Folly.
Home prices should be at their historic P/E Ratio determined equilibrium level. Nothing Bush or anyone else can do will change this.

Hell, they are already being arrested here in Virginia.

"We give millions to pro-democrap groups. Mindbogglingly ignorant policy." I believe that is why we refer to the GOP as the "Stupid Party". At least it is one reason. Even when they have both Houses and the White House they can't end NPR and PBS.
