Still, neither Issa nor Smith are said to be enthusiastic about jumping back into the controversy – considering the fact that ACORN is out of business and most Democrats have already signed on to a bill barring federal funding of the group.

Said by whom? Unnamed sources, of course. The writer is conveniently ignoring the evidence that ACORN has reorganized under different names in various states. There was quite a bit of discussion of this on FR last year.

I am privileged to live in Issa's district, and I imagine he hasn't forgotten. He is tenacious.

Very true. Another fact that author conveniently "forgot" to mention is that the federal funds comprised only 10% of ACORN's official budget, while most of its official budget came from states' funds and many of their activities were funded off-the-books by independent tax-exempt NGOs, "charities" and other political organizations.

There is a reason why almost all government workers are unionized (should be a violation of laws, if it isn't yet) and unionized government workforce is almost double that of unionized private sector.

Break / downsize and defund the unions (the muscle and partial funding arms of Democratic party) and you go a long way to destroying the pillars of the Democratic party structure.
