The Senate has voted overwhelmingly to strip ACORN of funding in the Transportation/Housing and Urban Development appropriations bill. After ACORN workers were caught on tape in three cities allegedly abetting what they believed was a fraudulent mortgage and sex-trafficking scheme, only seven senators were willing to stand by them:

Excellent!

Heard Beck on Fox this morn. I believe I heard him say when they asked if more stings were going to come out that next it will be from the west coast. Hopefully they don’t wait too long..keep it on the burners!

[Julie658]

I thought I read that they were getting millions/billions from different arms of the guvmint. So what good to close down one gusher?

Can't help but wonder if those seven will be wanting a blindfold and a cigarette when they stand before the voters in the next election.

IMHO, we should be compiling a "Up against the wall" list for the next election -- and these scamsters should head off that list -- along with Nanzi Pelousy and "Dingy Harry" Reid...

That will hurt Casey big time in the next election cycle. He’s up in 2012. That’ll mean PA goes GOP, I’d bet. ACORN is bad news and the stink will not wash off by then.

... will not wash off by then.

..let us make sure it doesn't

VIDEO PROOF OF *ACORN* AND *OBAMA* COLLUSION

[Doogle]

it might become a Kerry type I voted for it before I voted against it moment....*grins*

[Lazamataz]

Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I.
Roland Burris, D-Ill.
Dick Durbin, D-Ill.
Bernie Sanders, D-Vt.
Patrick Leahy, D-Vt.
Bob Casey, D-Pa.

No matter if ACORN promotes child prostitution, THESE GUYS *LOVE* THEM.

[Lazamataz]

OMG!! Standing by ACORN as they are EXPOSED for being a CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE!!! Hey Corrupt Senators.....you have shown your TRUE COLORS TO THE WORLD. That has to be the DUMBEST 7 Senators that were EVER elected!

Not dumb at all. Just clearly and distinctly setting forth their alliegance.

[Doogle]

don’t forget Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y....I missed her on my “copy”

[mcshot]

This “baby boomer” is staggered by the bias of the “three Wise Monkeys” media support of all these unqualified crooks and deceivers.

[Red in Blue PA]

I called and left a msg demading an explanation from Casey, and told them I would continue calling each day until I received one.

(in truth, there really is NO explanation for that vote, but I want to hear his “logic”, for lack of a better word)

[American Constitutionalist]

Might as well send Arlen Speckter one also.

[American Constitutionalist]

Folks ? have you listen to the new propaganda now ? ... Hmmm ? I wonder if this is a coincidence ? ....
I just head a news report with a man with a very cheery voice saying that it looks like the economy is looking up....
I guess they are going to fool the people now that Obama's policies are working and the economy is humming now....

[Styria]

A PA video of ACORN promoting child prostitution would be nice to tie to Casey’s vote here.

Then lets have a Constitutional Convention.

Sounds like you know the system well. I even mailed him a polite letter and all I got in return was a form reply which didn't even address the issues raised in the letter. I suspect he has had a prefrontal lobotomy and been refitted with a piece of ObaMao's grey matter.

But who could tell?
