usedtolikemcCain: ACORN receives approximately 40% of its monies from taxpayers. It is supposed to be bipartisan, but is NOT. And, it is riddled with fraud.
From NeverLikedObama.

Pity!! After John McCain tried a trick to quit debate and make show in washington his own Republicans did not listen to him!! They voted neh than they voted yeah! A shame for McCain, his trick did not work!! If the majority of republicans won´t listen to him even after that so-called intervension how can he lead effectively?? The majority of Dems voted! Shame to McCain!

ACORN is an organization wholly dedicated to voter fraud.
Indict them all.

If any person even thinks about asking you, the taxpayer, to "bail out" crooks, greedy, swinish bank fatcats or those equally fat, stupid, SUV driving, over-extended, gluttonous Americans, spit in their faces. It is an obscene affront that Dems and Bush would even ask for something so ridiculous and futile. If either Obama or McCain had said "screw you" to Wall ST. they would have my vote and also would have guaranteed their election. Neither Senator had the guts, wisdom or decency to say NO to swine. So much for "vision" and change. So much for mavericks. I'm voting for Ralph Nader!

What I am having a tough time grasping are the GOP elected officials who voted down the bill because Pelosi called the Bush administration on the carpet. My friends are barely hanging on to their small businesses as credit lines that were there before dry up and many House Republicans voted "nay" because their feelings were hurt? What is even more disheartening is they had the gall to admit to the public such childish behavior.

After bragging today about his role in shaping the economic bailout package, Sen. John McCain has made no statement to the press since the defeat of the bill, in part at the hands of House Republicans.

McCain boarded his Straight Talk Air charter plane a few minutes ago, but the plane has not taken off yet. McCain is in the front of the plane, separated from reporters by a brown curtain

Aides to McCain have not characterized his reaction to the bills defeat. On Sunday, he said he would "swallow hard" but vote for the plan, which he said was better than originally proposed.

By the way - as we watch the market tumble thanks to those of you who complained about the bailout - we are losing much more than 700 billion in our collective net worth. Most of you who were doing the complaining would not have had to pay the extra tax that would have paid for the bailout in the first place.

No more Republicans!!!!!!!!!

ACORN is a non-profit, non-partisan social justice organization with national headquarters in New York, New Orleans and Washington, D.C. To maintain independence, ACORN does not accept government funding and is not tax exempt.

*****************************************
Correction ACORN recieves over 40% funding from govt sources, mostly govt grants. However, they are being investigated because they are taking this money under the guise of "consumer advocacy" to line their own pockets. Typical, since Obama was part of this organization. Everything he touches turns to rust.

Howaboutcharacter said : Hey Casey-Google John McCain and the Keating Five if you want to talk about scandals.

Now go for the truth. McCain was exonerated as having done nothing wrong, and the lawyer that was prosecuting this, said of all that were brought forth in this, John McCain was the one he believed most...and this prosecutor is a Democrat!!!

ACORN and its fraudulent voter registration activities are being investigated in several counties in Ohio and throughout the US. They are a terrible organization. Truly vile.

James Terry, Chief Public Advocate for the Consumers Rights League, today testified at a joint House Administration and House Judiciary Committee oversight hearing on "Federal, State and Local Efforts to Prepare for the General 2008 Election," where he highlighted "corruption at every level of ACORN including embezzlement, cover-ups, misuse of taxpayer funds and voter fraud." An excerpt of his testimony follows:
The Consumers Rights League is a non-profit, non-partisan educational organization dedicated to protecting consumer choice and access to the marketplace.
James Terry, Chief Public Advocate, Consumers Rights League:
"ACORN routinely says it will clean up its act. Yet, given its decade-long history of voter fraud, embezzlement, and misuses of taxpayer funds, ACORN's pattern of fraud can no longer be dismissed as a series of 'unfortunate events.' Furthermore, as this mega organization with a decades long history of violating the law is turned to get out the vote efforts, we believe it is fair to question how many fraudulent registrations may lead to fraudulent votes or what other activities they are willing to undertake to influence the election.

Sound like a conservative news site to you, Unshrub?

Haha, I remember Obama said 'McCain deserves zero credit for the bailout.'

He thought the plan would pass.

In McCain interview on Sunday, McCain didn't claim credit at all, he said he will let history judge it.

Obama gamble lost!

This is proof that the Media is in the tank for Obama. McCain never took credit. But, Obama sure did yesterday! He said that McCain should get no credit for Bailout!

John McCain CAN take credit for the House vote being as close as it was.

Initially, only a handful of House Republicans were in favor of the bill.

Apparently McCain was able to bring some 60+ additional House members on board for the proposal.

Why weren't the Dems able to bring their straying 40% on board?

Classic Pelosi, She couldn't get her party to vote for the bailout so she blames the Republicans.

Well can somebody please tell me why there were a lot of Dems who did not vote for this bill? They hold the majority, so if they thought it was the best thing for us why did the Dems not vote for it? Oh that is right they needed the republicans to support it because if it failed they would not be holding the bag and than they had somebody to blame for this! Obama and the Dems all the same, look for somebody to blame and not take ownership of anything unless it will be in their benefit! Go figure! Way to go our Republican Reps, dont let the lefties put this country under anymore than they already have!

McCain didn't send out emails. First article this morning and noticed that ABC News "All About Clinton" has taken down the article were Obama claims credit for bail out bill and McCain should get none. Nice job Obama an Pelosia.

Why is it the Republicans' fault the market is falling?

If the 40% of Dems who voted against it had come on board behind their "LEADERS" it would have been a shoo-in.

McCain FAILED to get enough votes on the House GOP side to get this bill passed.

2/3 of Dems voted for this but 2/3 of GOP voted against this.

A majority of the House Dems voted for the bill. A majority of the House GOP voted against the bill. Well, Senator McCain, it's time for you to tell your fellow Republicans to put country first.

It is NOT just the house Republicans who are against this. Read the polls. The common man and woman on main street is against this bailout overwhelmingly.

The house Republicans are doing what they are supposed to be doing, expressing the will of the people who put them in office. On the other hand, the Democrats and Obama are doing exactly the opposite. House Democrats are ignoring those who elected them to office, giving them a pat on the head and saying like the true elitests they are, trust me. HA!

The Democrats have had control of congress long enough to see this coming (Pelosi has stated they did) and put the controls back into place they say were missing. But no! They were perfectly happy to let things go and then when things collapse, put the blame elsewhere.

Sorry, Democrats were in control. If they say there was a problem, and they claim there was, as the majority party in control, they should have done something about it.
