If helping prostitutes and pimps
has now become the criteria for "defunding" and investigating an organization, then the Senators and Representatives
should have their salaries and their staff's salaries frozen immediately. CONGRESS makes ACORN look like the minor
leagues. They just call them lobbyists instead of using the street nomenclature.

And they shouldn't whine about the unfairness of attacking everybody over "a few bad apples." They have set the
standard that the bad apples are enough to refuse a group any assistance.

Hypocrites doesn't do justice to what they are. Pimps would be a good start however.

4. I can't keep with all the information and
other info whirling around about this. I am not doubting that some ACORN people need to be fired at the least. However, I also don't know what is true.

Are those really ACORN workers or people put in place earlier to create this hooha? I don't put anything past the RW.

10. Should we kick the Catholic Church or the Mormons out of America?
They did much much much worse than what some idiots at ACORN did.

These folks at ACORN were complete morons but don't pretend it isn't about them being a GOTV organization. They are being destroyed because they fought hard to ensure that black people got to the polls but hell let's grab those torches and help out in the lynching.

11. did you hear me say anything about what to do or not to do. can you not read
my point

making a statement prostitute and pimp is not acurate enough for me. i think the underage is an important part in this op post. full disclosure. that is a good thing

is it not?

that is what my post is about and i clearly stated that

now

carry on with the argument or debate
