Thread: ACORN Just Got Stripped of All Public Funding (Ammendment passed 83-7)

you don't even know what due process is. here's a hint. in terms of funding ACORN, due process is the CONGRESS VOTING. that's the process. ACORN is not "innocent until proven guilty". they do not have the right to subpoena witnesses. this aint a criminal trial. it's at congress' discretion, THAT is the only PROCESS that is DUE ACORN as to the future funding of same. it's black letter law. you don't...

3) to specifically repudiate the unwarranted personal attack on General Petraeus by the liberal activist group Moveon.org.

we have to shut down the Federal government immediately and the Democratic Party, too!

That is what this is about. They win, you cheer.

I too was not happy with Paterson's choice although I'm waiting until after election to see what happens. I've seen too much bait and switch to be completely mollified by her current voting streak. However, it was heartening to see her vote against this amendment. Schumer on the other hand continues to disappoint.

The ACORN thing could be removed before it goes to Obama. Hopefully it will be. I'd hate to see ACORN lose funding. First, because of the good they do, but also because I'd hate like HELL to see the ridiculous smear campaign actually work. We can't allow this kind of mudslinging to work. We can't allow bullshit to determine public policy!

Comparing apples an oranges is bad debate. A direct mention is much more damaging.

I really don't think that Limbaugh would be able to compete against, for example, Ed Schultz, given a level playing field.

so not really applicable.
