WASHINGTON -- When House GOP leaders abruptly shelved a bill to fund standard federal transportation and housing programs last Wednesday, one of the legislation's few uncontroversial provisions was a section banning funds for the anti-poverty group ACORN. Had Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-Ohio) been able to pass the bill, it would have marked the 13th time that Republicans have voted to block federal funding for ACORN since the GOP took over the lower chamber in 2011.
Oddly, however, ACORN, or the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, does not exist. And it did not exist at any time when the House GOP has held a vote on ACORN's access to government monies -- the group disbanded in the spring of 2010.
Just why, exactly, the House GOP keeps voting to ban funding for an organization that was extinguished more than three years ago remains something of a mystery, and the subject of Democratic ridicule.are they working to beat their own record of defunding and repealing things that are law and have no chance of being defunded or they just plain don't exist, they lied and used the set up of a controversial right wing vulture org. to kill it but we know it was about the beginning of their efforts to voter block and deny rights to progressive voters by taking out the org. that gave them help in registration and the real 411 on what their options were and helping to get them to the pols.
as far as why, they are in such a mental disarray now they have forgotten all the dirt they've done and they say Pres. is out of touch that's one lie they rebuke themselves on a daily basis.
think they'll beat their record with ObamaCares?
