It’s Vampire ACORN!
I’m gonna shoot it, then I’m gonna stab it, then I’m gonna hang it, then I’m gonna burn it, then I’m gonna bury the ashes in a tar pit, then I’m gonna poison the tar pit, then I’m gonna …
A budget bill introduced yesterday by House Republicans includes a provision to defund anti-poverty group ACORN, despite the fact that the group a) was already stripped of federal funding once; and b) has been defunct for almost three years.
In other news, Mississippi just now repealed slavery.
Thanks to Brian for the heads up.
I just wish we could stop paying heavy tea taxes to King George.
1It looks like Rethugs will do anything to avoid dealing with actual, current problems.
2You know that old saying: Even a blind squirrel can find an acorn…. once in a while.
I’m not saying that House Republicans are like blind squirrels…..
Yeah…. that’s what I’m saying.
3These thugs are deliberately keeping their constituents stupid as they are. Ten to one their voters don’t know that ACORN was unfunded already. Gee gosh golly, if they did find out, they may have cause to instigate a recall! I mean . . . who could possibly trust a Congress critter who schemes to lie all the time! Hmmmmmm…
4Well, you know … it takes these idiots a little while to actually catch up and catch on …
Good Sunday morning to everyone!!
5And in other news, Francisco Franco is still dead.
6It’s all well and good to ridicule this, but, gee willikers, why on God’s green earth did they do it? Do “they” truly not know that it’s gone with the wind? Seriously, what would be the motivation for doing this?
7As the King of Siam said, it’s a puzzlement.

8I really would like to know if the representative whose aides wrote the bill has read it. My own congresscritter has lamented, from time to time, that every bill should be read in its entirety before action is taken.
I also wonder, if the bagger who inserted this crap was in Congress at the time, why didn’t he recall the fate of ACORN? And conversely, if he’s a noob, why wasn’t he aware of it? Anyone running for office should at least be knowledgeable about politics. Oh, wait. I was thinking about someone who cares. Not teabaggers.
9@miemaw: In my neck of the woods it’s a blind pig that finds the acorn now and then. And piggery is definitely more appropriate, isn’t it?
If I were an elephant, I’d sue the GOP for damaging my trademark.
10We’ve got to defund ACORN because I heard their birth certificate is fake! I wanna see the long form! Where’s Donald Trump and Sherriff Joe with their crack team of investigators? Let’s get on this people.
11For Republicans, the important thing is to have an enemy – doesn’t much matter whether the enemy is real or imagined. I should also note that in wingnuttia, ACORN still exists – but under different names. Declaring themselves defunct was all part of a clever ploy to deceive The People. However, Glen Beck was too clever to fall for this obvious ruse.
In other news, the Tea Party really does think that the Norwegian Blue Parrot purchased from the Monty Python Pet Shop really is pining for the fjords, and is just resting…
12What really bugs me about this whole ACORN saga is that when some ACORN employees engaged in voter registration fraud, ACORN turned those employees in. ACORN did the sort of “self-policing” that GOP-pers say Wall Street does, but that Wall Street in fact never does at all.
13Well, the House tried to vote down the ACA (Obamacare) 32 times. At least they’re consistent. ACORN was a good organization. It was brought down by a right-wing thug in a fur coat & a lady in a short skirt & complicent or inept journalism.
14If Repubs didn’t spew out misinformation they’d have no kind of information at all.
15I think we should reconstitute ACORN as Organizations Against the Kleptocracy.
Because mighty OAKs from little ACORNs grow.
16All Hail the mighty OAK! Even Monty Python could not have envisioned the likes of Beck, Trump, Cruz, Bachmann, Palin, Cornyn, Perry and the whole Ship of Fools, otherwise known as CPAC.
