House Republicans Finally Surrender To ACORN

Posted by | August 8, 2014 09:47 | Filed under: Politics Top Stories


House Republicans have vote 13 times to defund ACORN, an organization that no longer exists. They may have finally gotten the message.

The demise of ACORN didn’t end the Republican crusade against the organization. Again and again, the House GOP passed appropriations bills with language specifically banning the use of any funds for ACORN — even though ACORN did not exist.

But since the passage of a budget bill in January, which included four different sections blocking funds to the non-existent ACORN, the GOP appears to have abandoned the cause. None of the appropriations bills that have passed the House after Jan. 14 have included anti-ACORN language. Not the Veterans Affairs reform bill, not the recent border crisis bill, not even mundane bills to fund the Department of Interior, the Environmental Protection Agency and the Small Business Administration.

“Now that the Republicans have been forced by Obama to give in, it’s time to get government funds flowing to ACORN again so we can steal another election in 2016,” jeered one House Democratic aide, referencing longstanding voter fraud conspiracy theories involving ACORN. Voter fraud is extraordinarily rare.

    And now ACORN’s rebranded state level versions can reconstitute under a new name.

    I do not believe that they have given up. Clearly they want to break their record of 58 ATTEMPTS TO REPEAL OBAMA CARE…NEXT BONER WILL SUE THE PRESIDENT FOR ALLOWING ACORN TO BE HUT DOWN.

    Well, in that case, it’s high time for ACORN to start up again. I’m on board for that.

      that’s their fear. Any attempt to organize a group that wants to register minority voters would send them around the moon.

    Doesn’t show much ability to stick to their principles. I thought the Republicans are the party of Principles?

    • Dwendt44 August 8th, 2014 at 18:43

      Maybe they mean Victoria Principal.

      • tiredoftea August 8th, 2014 at 19:16

        If only they had that must taste in “Principal’s”! Victoria Jackson is more their style.

    Voter fraud is extraordinarily rare – which can only mean it is running rampant and must be stopped! I say taxpayer funds be used to investigate this out-of-control fraud that is being perpetrated in predominantly black and hispanic areas of blue states!
