Casey, again, to oppose ACORN funding ban
Pennsylvania Ave Blog/The Morning Call ^ | 9/17/2009 | Josh Drobnyk

Posted on 09/17/2009 5:36:54 PM PDT by Born Conservative

Sen. Bob Casey, among only seven senators on Monday who opposed a block in housing funding to the community group ACORN, said he'll follow suit on votes today designed to bar the organization from other sources of federal money.

Sen. Mike Johannsof Nebraska will bring amendments to the floor today that would ban ACORN from getting federal money from the Department of the Interior, environment and other related agencies. None of those agencies currently provide ACORN funding, but Johanns wants to ensure they don't in the future.

Casey characterized the measures as political moves at a time the Congress is dealing with more important matters.

"If it is the same thing, I'm going to vote the same way," Casey told reporters this afternoon. "We've got bigger priorities than this folks."

I’d take a second/third look at anyone who did not oppose funding ACORN, as in: are they beholden to them?

"We've got bigger priorities than this folks."

Precisely. There is something seriously wrong here.

His first vote was bad enough; this is beyond pathetic.

Guess the good folks in Pennsylvania will decide if there are more important things to worry about. 83 Senators have recognized that he is an idiot.

There is no other conclusion but that Casey is owned outright by Acorn.

This idiot is completely tone-deaf, apparently. Unfortunately he doesn’t come before the voters again until 2012.

Casey needs ACORN. Without them, he couldn’t get elected as dogcatcher.

I argued with swing vote/ social justice Catholics for months that voting for Casey was pointless as he would never be able to buck his party on abortion.

Maybe they are starting to see they were snookered.

“His father is spinning in his grave.”

At warp speed. Gov. Bob Casey, Sr. would be appalled at what his son is doing.

"His father is spinning in his grave."

My brother knew his father well and, from what I know, you are correct
