Johanns amendment to defund ACORN housing PASSES! 83-7

Those Acorn crooks chickens are really starting to come home to roost. While the nutroots will continues to cry RACIST, DOCTORED TAPES, etc etc, something is obviously happening since Big Government / Glenn Beck / James O’Keefe and Hannah released those ACORN videos last week of ACORN encouraging 13 year old child prostitution, tax evasion, etc. Today the Senate passed by a margin of 83-7 Nebraska Senator Mike Johanns amendment to cut off funding to ACORN. As far the roll call vote, the only known 1 of the 6 to vote against it was Dick Durbin, from the corruption capitol of Illinois. And here’s the ACORN 7 as I like to call them who voted NAY, make sure you remember these names:

* Dick Durbin (D-IL)
* Roland Burris (D-IL)
* Robert Casey (D-PA)
* Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY)
* Patrick Leahy (D-VT)
* Bernie Sanders (I-VT)
* Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI)

    As a resident of IL it feels like two kicks to the groin…ugh.

    Anyone see a connection between both IL senators voting against the defunding of ACORN and the fact that BO is from IL and has connections to ACORN? Me neither….

    Let’s apply the savings to healthcare. Don’t like that idea? How about funding security for the Chicago Olympic Games as “we the people” promised – if we were awarded the venue. Just a thought.

    Oh, I had to re-read this list and this is the SENATE. I wondered by McDermott (D-Washington) wasn’t on there as one of the seven wonders of the world. He should have a chance to vote to save ACORN too. I think his entire district is like one big ACORN office. Well, anyway we now have a hit list of the most vulnerable Senators in America in their next election. What POSSIBLE defense could they have??? We should have sped through the funding of the child sex ring, even if we had to tap into TARP to do so! Aren’t prostitutes once they become 30 years old toxic, declining assets that could be put into derivatives, underwritten by Fannie Mae and protected by Barney Frank and his boyfriend?

    When ACORN helped with the census, would they have listed these child hookers as “artists” on the census or dependents? Hey, wait, ask Obama! He was a community organizer and knows how to classify them! He’s Commander in Chief and apparently experienced and worldy in his knowledge of things like child hookers, those little bullet things and them tanks. He needs to strap on a tank helmet like Dukakis and go for a ride and play some hoops with the troops in Kandahar! Last summer, do you know there were more Americans being killed in the streets of Obama’s congressional district than in Iraq and Afghanistan combined??? We need a SURGE in Chicago! Specially the South Side, home of the Whitey Sox. I know whenever I see the Prez and his sexy smile, I get this tingling feeling going down my leg. Oh wait, I just sh*t on myself involuntarily because our country is so f*cked! I’m glad the garden is going well for Michelle.

    Hi there! I am Obama, a student of Lincoln and read and quote him often. Oh sh*t!!! I forget he was Republican, he was called “Honest Abe” and telling the truth to the American people isn’t in the Alinsky play book! Man, ol’Abe was right when he said you “can’t fool all the peoople all the time.” I gotta try and lie at least 15 times every speech cause those people out in Pelosi’s district still like me, not to mention my daughter’s are too young to read or go to my speeches where they scream “you lie!” over and over again.

    If we are going to start defunding organizations for criminal activity, why don’t we start with the real criminals in the defense industry, accused of:

    Murder (Blackwater)
    Negligent Homicide (KBR)
    Prostitution (ArmorGroup)
    Child Sex Rings(DynaCorp)
    Fraud on single contracts that dwarf 15 years of acorn funding (Northrup Grumman, Lockheed Martin)

    I don’t care to debate what ACORN is or isn’t, the fact is whatever they’ve done it pales in comparison to the real players. Ya’ll need to get your priorities straightened out.
