ACORN engages in many forms of left-wing activism, often employing the intimidation tactics made popular by Saul Alinsky, the father of community organizing and a role model to presidential candidate Barack Obama. The group has waged campaigns against Wal-Mart, against welfare reform, and in favor of “living wage” laws. In October 2005, the group was accused of flooding a non-union hospital’s emergency room with patients they had bused in from far away as part of a unionization pressure campaign. ACORN also controls the ACORN Housing Corporation, which along with its local affiliates has received at least $29 million in federal taxpayer funds since 1998 (other ACORN-related groups have received an additional $2 million).

Does this mean that for the last eight years, taxpayers have been subsidizing this criminal organization?

What in hell are our Republicans doing in Washington?

What in hell are our Republicans doing in Washington?

Ignoring their constituents- a la my rep. Ander Crenshaw? Losing badly due to the porked out transportation bill a la 2006? Lining their own pockets- a la Denny Hastert? Diddling a la Newt Gingrich and Larry Craig? Selling us out to the illegals a la McCain, McConnell and Kyl?

They've obviously got more important things to do than count beans. After all-it's not like it's their money...
