    Just ran across a lie!! Republicans are saying that ACORN supported the bailout. I got a spam/email from ACORN asking me to conatct my representives to ask them to OPPOSE the bailout.

      you've got it backwards -- it' s not that ACORN supported the bailout that has us steamed, it's that the bailout (at least at one point) was going to support (fund) ACORN.

          there's a couple, fergie. If you want more, google "ACORN bailout bill" and there were about 489,000 hits.

          Dig in.

            Your links are useless because they are incomplete and take you nowhere.
            I can see that one is a blog and that proves nothing.
            google "ACORN bailout bill" and there were about 489,000 hits.??
            No joke. Now which ones points out the fact "it's that the bailout (at least at one point) was going to support (fund) ACORN." because I'm going to waste time on 489,000 hits that tell the same thing. You made the statement, so show the link from a reputable source where the bailout was going to support ACORN and not a right wing rag or blog site.

              OK, after researching and maybe finding the story you listed, I find that you did not give the whole story. Your claim was that the bailout money was earmarked for ACORN which was a Republican argument. But reading down further in the article you hear a comment from Barney Frank's spokesman.
              "In the end, how much of the bailout's potential profits are earmarked for ACORN? "None. Absolutely none. All funds would go to state and local governments," said Steven Adamske, spokesman for Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.), the chairman of the Financial Services Committee and a lead negotiator."
              Now I see that you chose to believe the Republican but I don't because at the time they were all playing politics with the bill. So I see nothing here that hasn't already been going on and that a vendetta of the Republican party by the Republican appointed federal attorneys to stop ACORN from getting more voter registration by harassment.

              au contraire, fergie

              blog.heritage.org/2008/09/26/text-of-the-acorn-rel...

              google ACORN bailout bill for about 489,000 other hits.

              that should be enough even for you.

              (of course, had you been paying attention during the bailout arguments, you would have already heard about this).

                  Yeah, he's serious. I should have said reputable sources.
                  The links are unusable because they aren't links but I can see that one is a blog site that I'm sure has unquestionable information. LMAO
                  "google ACORN bailout bill for about 489,000 other hits."
                  I asked for proof and he supplies nothing.

            You got an email from ACORN to oppose the bailout. If it wasn't so laughable I would think it was a con email from Nigeria. Because you are a stupid Obama supporter, please don't put the rest of Americans in your class of people.

              Of course Acorn doesn't want the bail out. They have designed this entire thing to ruin our economy, you dumb dumb!
