Betty Voted to Keep Funding ACORN

This was a shocker; Betty McCollum voted to keep funding ACORN.  This was after several video scandals and voter fraud allegations had already come to light.  So in light of these allegations, Congress took funding to a vote, and YES, Betty voted to keep funding them.  Thankfully the bill was defeated 345-75.  I am sure Betty voted YES by accident because Nancy Pelosi voted to defund.  You know Betty, she is Nancy's YES girl.  (click the link to see all 75)

The House of Representatives just voted overwhelmingly to de-fund ACORN, 345-75. The vote came on a Republican motion to recommit the educational loan bill. As a result, the anti-ACORN provision made it into the House-passed bill.

Below are the names of all 75 congressmen who voted to preserve ACORN's stream of funding.

The biggest surprises on the list: Stephen Lynch, D-Mass., and the two Democrats from West Virginia, Alan Mollohan and Nick Rahall.

Notable for not voting: Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., a staunch defender of ACORN.
