And don't forget Sanders...that guy is a dyed in the wool socialist

I can't believe the people of Vermont would actually elect a self-declared Democratic Socialist to public office. Now THAT'S scary. These Vermonters must have had too much syrup on their pizza because I can't, for the life of me, think of another state where being a socialist isn't political suicide.

Pretty simple.
Or do you propose throwing out the baby with the bathwater?
It's going to take more than bath water to wash that kid.

Now who is the 7 that wanted them to keep getting funding

Considering the Senate is controlled by the same Democrats you guys have been complaining about the fact that the majority voted against is what counts.

Obviously things HAVE changed or the funding would not have been cut off. Dems weren't the only ones that have voted to fund them in the past, BTW.

The videos were horrible. They gave done good work in the past, but the bad apples have finally caused their demise.

No more.

It looks like the gravy train is about to be cut off.

The Left has never been able to stand people finding out what they're really doing. I guess some things never change.

Senate votes to deny funds to ACORN

by ANDREW TAYLOR
The Associated Press
Monday, September 14, 2009; 6:50 PM

WASHINGTON -- The Senate voted Monday to block the Housing and Urban Development Department from giving grants to ACORN, a community organization under fire in several voter-registration fraud cases. The 83-7 vote would deny housing and community grant funding to ACORN....

There should be an official investigation into Obama's close ties and long relationship with ACORN. If it can be determined that he was part of, or aware of, any illegal activities or
actions I think that would justify articles of impeachment.

This is very serious and to have the potus so closely tied to such an organization is simply not acceptable. His entire history as a community organizer is suspect and needs to be brought to light. It shows a mindset that is dismissive and disrespectful of the rule of law. He's long taught people to "get around" the system and bypass the law and he himself is attempting to do the same.

He's a disgrace to the office and needs to be removed before he further endangers this country.

I've been in Florida a year ago and profanity in response to such a failure on the part of
people who are supposed to know what they are doing and I really treasured my stay there.
Isn’t it the responsibility of an enlightened citizenry to criticize the wrongdoing of its
own government, both foreign and domestic, with the aim of keeping it on the right course
