To say that Senator Robert Casey has had a bad couple of says may be an understatement. A couple of amateur journalists accomplish what the Yellow Stream Media(forget drive-by, Rush already trademarked that name) refused to do after the last election. ACORN, the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, was accused of voter fraud during the most recent national election. There were repeated reports of criminal investigations against the organization.
If you go to BigGovernment.com you can watch the videos that expose the truth about the corruption within the organization. ACORN not only had its pants pulled down in public but I'm not sure whether they were wearing any underwear. Prostitutes are used to being naked and, it seems, ACORN representatives facilitate that behavior. Locations in Baltimore, Washington D.C., New York, and San Bernadino, CA. were targets of the novice investigators. In each case similar unacceptable, no unbelievable, advice was given to the fuax "professionals."
Evidently Senator Casey doesn't get out much. On Friday the Census Bureau severed ties with ACORN after allegations surfaced when the videos were launched nationwide.
Census Bureau spokesman Stephen Buckner said officials in the bureau, which is part of the Department of Commerce, had been concerned with news reports about ACORN for awhile and “had been monitoring them.”
Buckner said recent videotapes posted on BigGovernment.com and broadcast on Fox News -- showing a young man and young woman pretending to be a pimp and prostitute, declaring themselves such and apparently able to secure the help of ACORN employees in Washington D.C. , and Baltimore, in obtaining housing – was “the tipping point.”
On Monday the Senate voted 83-7 to deny funds to ACORN but Bob Casey was one of the seven who wanted ACORN to continue receiving our hard earned money so they could continue to support tax evasion.
Today the White House calls ACORN employees' behavior unacceptable. But you gotta love Robert Gibbs. He should be DJ Spinmeister.
Gibbs said the Census Bureau decided that ACORN could not assist the group in meeting "the bureau's goal of achieving a fair and accurate count in 2010" and that some other agencies are evaluating their relationship with the group. "We constantly evaluate to ensure that any grantee is living up to what has to happen in order to fulfill that grant application."
He pointed out that "previous administrations" had awarded grants to ACORN either through the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Uhh..Gibbs...the Administration can't spend what the Congress and Senate did not fund and authorize with legislation. Even you don't get paid without legislative action. Speaking of past adminstrations authorizing watch the following video where Casey is proud of the funding he provided to ACORN and LA RAZA. I did a fact check and Bob Casey is not George Bush although Gibbs hanging participle almost worked.
For those of you that may not know La Raza is a great supporter of illegal immigration regardless of their claims to the contrary.
My other observation- Obama gets called out by Illinois Congressman Luis Guiterrez (D)for barring undocumented immigrants from purchase healthcare coverage in the government exchange. Senator Jay Rockefller(D) bails on Senator Baucus's(D) proposal for healthcare. Senator Robert Casey (D) votes for continued funding of ACORN while the Whitehouse blasts ACORN. Are the D's in disarray less than 10 months into this presidency or is it me?
Back to Bobby. Here's is the keynote speaker for the 2007 ACORN national convention held in Columbus, Ohio .
