I think it's no surprise that an organization with as much controversy swirling around it is going to lose its government funding.

And I get the impression ACORN is flaky enough (even if they're not half as bad as their detractors claim) that they probably shouldn't be getting federal contracts.

Now if they'd only stop giving Blackwate...(cough) Xe my tax money also I would be doubly thrilled

THE RUG IS UP!!

THE BROOMS ARE READY!!!

SWEEP!!

The Senate's actions amount to nothing. Just feel good politics. Pelosi will table the issue for a few months and this will all blow over. People actually think that the Senate stopper ACORN from getting any more tax dollars. To them this is already over and done with. The DEMS need ACORN to be in place for 2010. Their name change will be complete then and the MSM will fall all over itself in announcing that ACORN is gone. The worst part is that people will believe it.

I was under the impression that ACORN receives no direct federal funding. If their funding is through donations and sub contracts, this will have no effect on them. I suspect this is nothing more than an attempt to get the more conservative voters excited while actually doing nothing. ACORN will operate as usual while politicians can tell their conservative voters that they struck a blow against ACORN.
