ACORN to lose funding ???

Probably wishful thinking but at least the Senate has so voted.

Senator Mike Johanns (R-NE) introduced an amendment to the HUD and Transportation appropriation bill to strip ACORN of all federal funding. A week ago, Johanns wouldn’t have gotten the amendment to the floor. Today, however, after three straight days of BigGovernment.com’s video exposés of ACORN offices in Washington DC, New York City, and Baltimore offering assistance to pimping, tax evasion, and trafficking in underage Salvadorean girls, Johanns not only got his vote — but he got an impressive bipartisan showing. The Senate passed the Johanns amendment 83-7.
At the beginning of the vote, it appeared that Democrats might resist. Initially, a half-dozen Democrats cast votes in opposition to the amendment. A few more cast votes against it as the rest of the Senate voted, but the tide appeared to shift. More and more Democrats signed onto the amendment, and votes started changing. One male voice could be heard in the chamber saying, “I want to change my vote!” Among those who changed their votes: Tom Udall (D-NM), Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ), and Herb Kohl (D-WI).

Not even close at 83-7. Doubt the House an Commissar Pelosi will follow suit. While it is a symbolic victory, this will die in committee and ACORN will still get their funding thanks to our Community-Organizer-in-Chief.

Question, if you only follow the MSM, are you scratching your head wondering what the hell just happened ?? Fox notes the media blackout.*

Is that a racist term in the Age of Obama ???
