Republicans Object to Stimulus Dollars for ACORN
FoxNews Politics ^ | 01/27/09 | FoxNews

Posted on 01/27/2009 8:43:29 AM PST by AngelesCrestHighway

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.

It means funding Obama’s urban brown shirts, so no Republican can ever be elected again in the face of massive voter fraud.

You mean like the way they screamed about putting a tax cheat in charge of the IRS?

I called my RINO senator who voted yes on the tax cheat, I asked if we were getting a Drug Dealer to run the DEA! I was furious and after venting, the poor little girl said she agreed and would pass it on.

Let's be fair. I'm sure sometimes they support avowed communists...

So far in the thread I see them called:
Communists, Marxists, Black Nationalists, Anarchists, Greens, CPUSA and WSWP, Socialist/Liberal/Progressive/Marxist/Leninist

I'll add Stalinist, Maoist, Fascist and elitist just to add to the confusion. Regardless what they are called, the bottom line is simply this;

THEY ALL VOTE DEMONRAT!

So? The current Communists (RATS) are laughing at us. It is a done deal. If anyone thinks that ACORN, who we already have subsidized, will not get funded I have some dead plants in my back yard I would like to sell. Even if this pork is taken out of the bill, they still will get tax money, you can bet on that. Communists will rule.

We have ACORN voter fraud in OK targeting one of our State Senate seats in OKC area and my guess is more in Tulsa. They wanted to make sure that Republicans did NOT take control of the Oklahoma Senate but it didn’t work. By only a few votes did that seat get saved. They have the goods on ACORN here in Oklahoma. Lot of ballots that only were marked for President — like over 100,000 which screamed voter fraud and how I found out about ACORN.

We are going to be faced with checking all the precinct lists looking for people that no longer live where they said they did or flat out don’t exist.

Fortunately with taking over the OK Senate we also took over the OK Board of Elections.

est 3.5 million fraudulent votes

Do you have a link for that info? I remember reading somewhere that 9.2 million fraudulent votes were found, but I cannot find it again. 3.5 million would not have reversed the result, but 4.5 certainly would have.

That’s a lot of fraudulant votes for a state like OK. This problem is worse than I imagined.

Much of this appears as further efforts to insulate and protect ACORN nationally so that the massive voter fraud efforts that they were tasked with by the shadow party of Soros can continue.

They have been at this since before 2000 and now with their Illinois attorney as President they can make themselves a massively taxpayer financed organization.

ALLLLLLLLLL stimulus money of any kind to this politicized voter-fraud company needs to be removed from any government funding.

"This election was very strange indeed".

Yes, a man who flew into the path of communist anti-aircraft fire and missiles to defend his country declined to verbally engage a target of similar enemy ideology.

Finally, somebody gets it!

ACORNS are adored by the squirrels of the Democrat party.

I have been told it goes back to the early 90’s at least. Is this how Clinton won the election in 1992? Would bet money ACORN is why we had problems in FL in 2000 and in OH in 2004! ACORN has been around since the 70’s but have not been able to find the earliest they got into voter fraud big time.

If it happened in OK, can you imagine how large a problem it is nationwide. ZERO still could not win one county in OK even with the voter fraud.

There is another site that traces and publishes ACORN corruption. It has a where-and-when history of occurances of alleged and documented fraud and misdeeds.
