Republican lawmakers are raising concerns that ACORN, the low-income advocacy group under investigation for voter registration fraud, could be eligible for billions in aid from the economic stimulus proposal working its way through the House. House Republican Leader John Boehner issued a statement over the weekend noting that the stimulus bill wending its way through Congress provides $4.19 billion for "neighborhood stabilization activities." He said the money was previously limited to state and local governments, but that Democrats now want part of it to be available to non-profit entities. That means groups like ACORN would be eligible for a portion of the funds. Sen. David Vitter, R-La., told FOX News Tuesday that the money could be seen as "payoff" for groups' political activities in the last election. ACORN generally supports Democratic candidates and actively backed President Obama last year.

What the hell does that stand for?...Pour my tax money down a socialist rat hole?
Moving Korean stores from urban black hoods so that when the Pie Riots begin, the innocents won't be slaughtered
pretty much.
Oh, thanks...I thought it was night time basketball.
I think it means they’re going to have the grassroots (ACORN?) Obama supporters go around neighborhoods, polling residents, identifying supporters vs opponents vs undecided’s. I’d read something similar on FR a few weeks ago.
We are screwed !!!
"generally"
GENERALLY??? Tell the truth, the whole truth, for a "change"
The cajones the GOP grew this past week are about two-and-a-half years overdue. Too bad they didn’t exist back in 2005-2006.
Repubbies better be screaming a LOT louder than this! I want to see press conferences on the steps of the Capital, I want to hear about filibusters, I want to hear some NOISE on this! No money for ACORN or ANY OTHER political organization even remotely like them.
You hearin me Congressional Republicans? I am not alone.
“ACORN generally supports Democratic candidates”....
Who writes these jokes?....
“Republicans object” but not too strenuously, they don’t want to sound too negative...
Absolutely infuriating.
Once again, you will only hear the name “Acorn” on Fox News!
No way would this stimulate the economy. All it is, is payback to those that gave us a Socialist/Liberal/Progressive/Marxist/Leninist win in the Presidency and the Congress.

I wish just one would stand there and scream as loud as he can! After all, it was ACORN that stole the election in part for Hussein.
You mean like the way they screamed about putting a tax cheat in charge of the IRS?
Yes, that is what is happening. But note that the two most important words in your statement are "my" and "tax". People who don't pay any taxes are standing at the bottom of the "socialist rat hole", being totally supported by what what you term "my" money.
The Democrats have locked in the votes of that magic "51" of the voters who either live off the taxes paid by others, or who otherwise support redistribution of income. NOW, what do we do about this situation?
How very true. Conservative Republicans are a dying breed. They all believe the media hype while giving us reason to not re-elect them.
