Bailing Out ACORN and LaRaza

[Bill Call]

It seems two items added to the bailout bill by Democrats are

1. When the government sells the assets 20% of the money must be given to groups like ACORN and LaRaza.

2. Nothing be done to control the sub prime mortgage market, in other words bail out the banks this time and then let them do it all over again.

It's a good thing this did not pass.

Better ideas:

1. Receipts of from the sale of the assets should be used to pay down the debt created by the need to purchase the assets.

2. The sub prime mortgage market should be curtailed or eliminated.

Seems like some of your bodies get some of that money also -
"
But other groups spanning the political spectrum, ranging from the environmentalist League of Conservation Voters to Republican-friendly faith-based groups and the National Rifle Association, also do voter registration. They often target like-minded voters while endorsing candidates through separate entities. The faith-based groups, like the housing groups, also have gotten public money."

This is from the WSJ - that you quoted. Are those dirty words to you also Bill? Or is it just groups that zero in on under served minorities the ones you hate so much.

I don't see you screaming about all the little caging activities your buddies have taken part in, many by people in government jobs - life election boards.

I didn't see you screaming about Ken Blackwell.
