Put the surprise meter on a negative number on this one

[Jet Jaguar]

Absolutely.

ACORN should not get any gov funding.

Voter fraud extremists.

[A_Former_Democrat]

Don’t just deny ACORN. INVESTIGATE this outfit for voter registration fraud and its tax exempt status.

Glad to hear the Republicans are resisting

Quote from the article:

"Regardless, House Republicans are saying that unless the possibility of ACORN seeing any money from this bailout is eliminated, there's no deal. "Doling out favors to ACORN and other liberal special interest groups are a non-starter for House Republicans," said Behner spokesman Kevin Smith. "If Rep. Frank wants to keep ACORN in the bill he can secure the necessary Democratic votes for passage because he'll need every one of them."

The latter may just happen, and Bush will sign it. These are times I wish that Cheney was President. :(

good!

the more acorn becomes visible to tv viewers,

the more we win!

[Congressman Billybob]

How odd that a crackerjack news organization would miss the point that ACORN has been charges with and convicted of more election corruption than any other organization save Tammany Hall, and that Barack Obama worked for ACORN as a "community organizer."

Even the liberals at the usual liberal websites are opposed to a bailout.

You know it had to be bad when even they see it.

Typical CBS incredulous reaction to real news.

Looks like Ryan is a bit offended that the Republicans don't want Taxpayer money funneled to ACORN. My question is, what does ACORN have to do with the Financial Bailout?

The answer is “nothing”. Just another Rat attempt to sneak something into a bill to placate their supporters. Wonder if Planned Parenthood, NARAL and PBS have their hands in this cookie jar.

I want the House Republicans to put a Coral Snake in that jar to keep the Rats out of it.

I hope McCain calls out Dems on wasting taxpayers money by sneaking in funding to scandal ridden ACORN in Frannie Bailout.

If Dems wanted the Frannie Bailout to get passed quickly, with bipartisan support, it is irresponsible to sneak this in.

So “My Boy Lollipop” says no money is going to Acorn. I guess if that’s good enough for Ryan Grimm of CBS (a trusted news network) it’s good enough for me. /s

State and local governments can then dole out the funds and could send money to ACORN if they so choose and if the organization's efforts meet the standards set out in the law. For their stand against the provision, Adamske tweaked House Republicans, who have long called for more state control of federal funds.

"Are they worried that the Governor of Alaska and the Mayor of Wasilla will give money to Acorn?" he asked.

Maybe not, but the governor of Illinois and the mayor of Chicago most certainly would.
