Hate to say I told ya so…but…

In the most predictable act that this pus-filled boil of a Congress has yet pulled off since The Missing Kenyan was sworn into office, comes news that America’s second-largest criminal enterprise, (behind only the Democratic National Committee itself) will be again be sucking like Halloween vampires hopped up on speed on the taxpayer’s wallet come November.

Speaking on radio station KTKL today, Rep. Michelle Bachmann (R-MN) revealed that ACORN’s “defunding” was to only last one month and once October is up, they will be partying like it is January 2009.

Short, but sweet.

As discussed in the interview and elsewhere, is it not so coincidental that during the one month that Congress pretended to “defund” ACORN, they receive an $900,000 “grant” for firefighting and fire prevention. A grant that was originally earmarked for the state of Louisiana and their firefighting programs and stations.

(Washington, D.C.) – U.S. Sen. David Vitter today sent a letter to U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano urging that she rescind an Assistance to Firefighters Grant awarded to the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now.

“With fire departments all over Louisiana – and the rest of the country – struggling to make ends meet and get the equipment and training they need to protect their local communities, the idea of a million dollar grant going to ACORN is unsettling, to say the least,” said Vitter. “ACORN’s continued contempt for state and federal laws has placed their entire organization under a cloud of serious scrutiny, and this grant should be rescinded and awarded to a more deserving group of first responders.”

A grant in the amount of $997,402 was awarded to ACORN under the FY 2008 Fire Prevention and Safety Program. In his letter, Vitter questions the logic behind awarding such a large sum to an organization with no clear expertise in fire safety and prevention.

“I’ve had grave reservations about ACORN for some time, and over the past year, we’ve seen numerous examples of serious allegations of wrongdoing on the part of this organization and its employees across the country,” Vitter said. “I simply can’t see the logic behind diverting much needed funding from worthy fire departments to this organization.”

The only thing that this POS criminal organization knows about fires is starting them.
