House voted today to defund ACORN and this POS voted no.  Surprise Surprise.....

Anyway, it passed like 375-75.  Guess we all know who is on the take from that corrupt organization.

Sorry ass Dick Durbin voted to support them. This isn't much of a surprise.

Carson: carrying on the family tradition with a bit of Muslim flair !!!!

I'm surprised he managed to show up to cast a vote.  

I vote for who ever is running against a Carson every election, I don't care who it is.

How'd the rest of the IN delegation vote?  In Particular our friend from #9...

Did you really expect anything less??? This guy is a douche bag

Carson wants to be Obama, mark my words.

Don't stop here. Make it as public as you can! Email everyone you know and stick a sign in the front yard. Let's all help to show these liberal bastards the door!

I hate that sonofabitch.  He is not MY representative.

Is anyone surprised?

Hill Votes to Defund ACORN
Motion to recommit would sever federal government’s ties with the organization  

 
(Washington, DC) - Congressman Baron Hill voted to prohibit federal funds to be awarded to the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) today.  This language was included in a motion to recommit to H.R. 3221, the Student Aid and Fiscal Responsibility Act, and was passed by an overwhelmingly bipartisan vote of 345 to 75.  Because the motion was adopted, the language is now included in H.R. 3221 as passed by the U.S. House of Representatives.  

The motion to recommit, offered by Congressman Darrell Issa (R-CA), places a prohibition on federal funds to ACORN.  This prohibition includes federal contracts, grants, cooperative agreements, or any other form of agreement.  

“I appreciate the swift action taken by the House on this issue,” Hill said.  “I have heard from many constituents who are understandably upset about ACORN’s inappropriate conduct.  This matter merits further review.  And, until then, I believe cutting off federal funding is an appropriate course of action.”
