House Republican leader John A. Boehner of Ohio escalated the war on ACORN today, calling for it to be cut off from all federal money and going so far as to call for a ban on ACORN contracting with candidates for federal office.
ACORN, a community organizing group allied with Democrats, has been blamed by the GOP for pushing housing policies that Republicans say contributed to the housing crisis. It has been the subject of investigations for voter registration fraud and its Nevada offices were recently raided...
ACORN receives federal money through the affordable housing trust fund after that money has been sent to states and local governments. So Congress, to keep the group from getting money, would need to specifically forbid ACORN from being eligible to get federal funds.
"Contracting for services between candidates for federal office and ACORN, as Sen. Obama has done, must end," says Boehner. "Now that the taxpayers own Fannie Mae, any funding from Fannie Mae’s nonprofit foundation to ACORN must stop."
Why an organization (an organization of community organizers, I might add) that exists to elect Democrats to public office receives federal funds is beyond me. Oh yeah, it also exists to perpretrate voter fraud. Yesterday in Vegas they had to announce that no members of the Dallas Cowboys would be allowed to vote in Nevada, even though someone, ahem, had registered them to vote.

The good news is that ACORN is very good at getting homeless people registered to vote, multiple times even. They are less effective at getting them to actually vote. Only a liberal would think that motivating homeless people with food and money is a good strategy. If they were motivated by food and money, they most likely wouldn't be homeless. If they ever switch to using cheap hooch and cigs as bait, we're all doomed.
