House votes to defund ACORN and affiliates

Good for them. It'll be pretty difficult for the Democrats or Obama to justify fighting against this defunding when so much corruption has been revealed.

GOP Votes to Defund Obama’s Radical Socialist ACORN Army
"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

- Thomas Jefferson

One way or another Obamakov will be sure they get something, somehow...little things like the law or constiution are minor impediments to the Boy Tyrant...he'll go through as many cut-outs as possible to make sure his people get OPM!  I'm sure Nasty Pelosi & Dingy will re-insert crap in bills whenever possible to sneak sh*t in, you watch, our side often overlooks things and it pops up later "ohh gee whiz, look what we found buried in (fill in the blank)"!
We are now where The Founders were when they faced despotism.

You mean just like the healthcare bill, where they put verbiage in place for funding and then didn't give anyone enough time to read it.

Maybe not "deem & pass" dark of night skulduggery ala ObamaCare, just the usual indifference, ignorance and laziness that lets wickedness in more often than not.
