I’m still puzzled as to why Democrats are trying to get some pork for fraudulent voter registration group ACORN.  Not only is it bad policy, but it’s a stupid move politically too.  Because it’s a given that Republicans were going to do this with it:

Washington, Sep 27 - House Republicans have made clear that they will fight for an economic rescue package that protects the interests of families, seniors, small businesses, and all taxpayers.  And as discussions continue in order to forge an agreement that reflects these principles, the American people are taking note of a left-wing giveaway Democrats are pushing to force taxpayers to bankroll a slush fund for a discredited ally of the Democratic Party.  At issue is the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now – better known as ACORN – an organization fraught with controversy for, among other scandals, its fraudulent voter registration activities on behalf of Democratic candidates.

The Wall Street Journal piled on yesterday with this:

“What we have here essentially are a pair of government slush funds created in July as part of the Economic Recovery Act that pump tax dollars into the coffers of low-income housing advocacy groups, such as Acorn.”

“Acorn, one of America’s most militant left-wing ‘community activist groups,’ is spending $16 million this year to register Democrats to vote in November.  In the past several years, Acorn’s voter registration programs have come under investigation in Ohio, Colorado, Michigan, Missouri and Washington, while several of their employees have been convicted of voter fraud…”

America is teetering on the edge of some serious economic problems, and Democrats are busy trying to pork up legislation with slush funds for the far-left advocacy groups that do their election-rigging dirty work for them.

“Shameless” doesn’t even begin to cover this.
