Barack Obama's Stimulus Plan Just a Blank Check for ACORN Terrorists, Says GOP
After days of intense discussions and equally-intense silence, the House of Representatives is slated to vote on President Obama's $825 billion stimulus plan this afternoon.
The plan is expected to pass, but that doesn't mean Congressional Republicans are happy about it. GOP leaders have been howling about dozens of line items in the plan, including this touchy subject…
House Republican Leader John Boehner issued a statement over the weekend noting that the stimulus bill wending its way through Congress provides $4.19 billion for "neighborhood stabilization activities."
Hm! That doesn't sound like the kind of thing that might help a country in times of trouble.
He said the money was previously limited to state and local governments, but that Democrats now want part of it to be available to non-profit entities. That means groups like ACORN would be eligible for a portion of the funds.
So if I understand Boehner correctly, Barack Obama's plan will involve writing a $4.19 billion check directly to ACORN, memo line: "Have fun committing voter fraud, xoxo BO." Is there another Republican who can tell me exactly why this is such a scandalous, sleazy thing?
Sen. David Vitter, R-La., told FOX News Tuesday that the money could be seen as "payoff" for groups' political activities in the last election. ACORN generally supports Democratic candidates and actively backed President Obama last year.
It certainly could be seen that way. Of course, it could also be seen as funding for the redevelopment of abandoned and foreclosed homes, but I like Sen. Vitter's way better.
His way makes me feel hot with righteous indignation, and it's like -10 today.

ok what the fook is ACORN? (i know look it up but they cant be too major if ive never heard of them)
The media has done this country a great disservice by allowing Barrack Obama to buy them out.
I don't understand how anyone could support an organization like ACORN. It should be shut down, and their officers carted off to jail. If Obama really wanted to help low-income communities they should leave it up to the local governments to distribute the money. Obama just wants to give back to ACORN for helping him get elected — illegally I might add. This country is in serious trouble with such a radical socialist in power. He only pretends to care for this country's citizens. Why do the Dems always want to excert so much control over people? Do they think local government is completely inept? What Obama really wants is more power.
And the bailouts didn't help pay back any Republican campaign contributions?
The more the right-wing attacks ACORN, the more ACORN looks good, and the right looks nutsoid.
A clever way to get more hits to your blog, but unfortunately the little I read was completely devoid of any facts. Youre no intellectual, just a redneck
You can dig all you want, but there is no pony hiding under the Democrat's stimulus manure pile. There is no pony hiding in the stimulus "pile of manure"
Proof positive the GOPers listen to Rush w-a-a-a-y too much. This was one of his most recent rants.
