		<description>Grayson actually voted &quot;present&quot; on this amendment. The guy doesn&#039;t even have the guts to vote against it after all of that phony grandstanding.  

What a waste.</description>

		<description>K. Frank,

You&#039;re wrong and so is Sensenbrenner. AIG took federal bailout money and the government amended the way they could spend it. If they wanted to give big bonuses, they could return the money. See how that works? It didn&#039;t only apply to AIG either - another mistake by Sensenbrenner. 

ACORN applies for federal, but more often state funds through the grant process. Maybe AIG and all the companies getting bailed out should have considered that approach?</description>

		<description>Oh, and &quot;ugaaccountant&quot;:

&quot;The consitution was written in a day when the government wasn’t crooked&quot;?  You must have taken a different history class.  I learned that the guys who framed the Constitution were pretty well convinced that the colonial government imposed by England was crooked and dominated by special interests, and that their primary focus was designing a government that couldn&#039;t be hijacked by the same kinds of crooks and special interests.  Hench the prohibition against &quot;bills of attainder,&quot; which were common in those days.</description>

		<description>The Republicans seem hell bent on trying to convince me that ACORN is the biggest problem our nation faces at the moment.  

That just about sums up what that party has to offer.</description>

		<description>If the government &quot;shouldn&#039;t&quot; be contracting out to groups like ACORN because of something a few members of the group did, then they &quot;shouldn&#039;t&quot; contract out to faith based organizations either.

I do not like the words &quot;should&quot; or &quot;ought&quot; to come up in issue discussions...especially on trivial matters (which seem to be the only matters the GOP and their propagandist care about).

I propose the government stop contracting out to any Catholic organization to provide drug rehab and soup kitchen services.  Eric Robert Rudolf is Catholic.  Funding these organizations means we are funding potential Eric Robert Rudolfs.

Seriously, that is the tortured logic these right wing nut jobs are using with ACORN.

In the end, ACORN registered a lot of minorities and poor people to vote.  It is not their fault that the GOP consistently discriminates against minorities and the poor...that is the choice of the GOP and you can not blame ACORN for the GOP&#039;s preferences.</description>

		<description>Everyone of you should be grateful that Grayson did what most of our elected officials don&#039;t do: question the thinking (or lack thereof) going on and motives behind the introduction of silly, politically-motivated amendments to bills. These type of silly amendments create more problems and waste more tax then one would assume they fix.  What that idiot Broun got was an ass-whipping by a congressman with far more intelligence and integrity than Broun will ever have.  Those of you who voted for Broun voted a guy into office who sits on the edge of insanity/sanity. He got a good public ass-whipping.  Maybe he&#039;ll think twice before introducing the kind of amendments/legislation he&#039;s known for introducing.</description>
