ACORN outrage removes affordable housing provision

The ACORN issue is off the table.Fevered opposition to the provision had become a viral sensation.

After several days of rage from conservative activists regarding a provision in the bailout bill that would send some of the profits from the sale of distressed assets the goverment buys into an affordable housing trust fund,

snip.

ACORN, a Democratic ally, was not specifically directed any funds in the previous proposal, but money that went to state and local governments could then have been divvied out to the organization, which the GOP said was a deal breaker.

It appears that, with the removal of the affordable housing trust fund, all of the proceeds from the sale of assets will now go to retire the debt.

ACORN would have handed the elction to Obama much the way Diebold did in 2000 and 2004 for Dubya.

BWHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

BWHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

It's true.  Both sides cheat.  People here saying Bush didn't cheat, but Obama was trying to.  Gimme a break, they both do it.  Bush did it in 2000 and 2004, and mccain would do it in 2008 if he could.  Gore and kerry probably cheated a lot as well, just not as good as Bush.

But I thought Obama was above that. Isn't he supposed represent change?

BWHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

no 240 is pretty much spot on on that one.  this is the political climate we live in.  both bush and obama know that the majority of their voting base is a bunch of brainwashed idealogues that will spin facts into whatever the hell they want to believe so these things really dont matter much in the end.  happy voting people!!!
