The New Crop Of Child-Whoring Pimp Assistance Program Defenders

75 Democrats signed on as card-carrying members of the Child-Whoring Pimp Assistance Program Defenders in the US House of Representatives today.

But the fact that there were 75 “no” votes is shocking, even for this Congress. All of the nays came from Democrats. Along with far-left backbenchers, they included Charles Rangel, Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, and Henry Waxman, who heads the Energy and Commerce Committee. Both are key leaders in the ObamaCare effort.

One of Acorn’s leading Congressional enablers has been Representative Barney Frank of Massachusetts. Last year Mr. Frank appeared in a promotional video for “Acorn’s Grassroots Democracy Campaign,” and this year he led the effort to repeal a year-old legal provision barring groups from receiving housing subsidies while under indictment for voter fraud. This he called “a violation of the basic principles of due process.” Mr. Frank was absent yesterday when the House voted to defund Acorn, although he had been on the House floor for another vote just half an hour earlier.

Add Barney to the list. Going AWOL to avoid a vote counts, too.

The utter piece of crap legislation that the ACORN amendment was attached to makes the defunding – if it actually happens – much less of a victory than it would appear. But that are now 75 more Democrats on record as putting ACORN above anything criminal that ACORN does.

That should give you something to thing about.
