During the election, we heard a lot of stories about one particularly corrupt organization known as ACORN -- Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now. The organization is now under investigation for voter registration fraud in the wake of this election .. registering Mickey Mouse, the entire Dallas Cowboys team, dead people, people who don't exist. If you didn't have enough reason to love the democratic process, ACORN really left a sour taste in our mouths during this election.

So now, ACORN is getting the thanks that it deserves for electing Barack Obama. I'm not saying that this was in any way condoned by Barack Obama .. but ACORN organized a massive, often fraudulent, grass roots campaign to get Barack Obama elected. And it worked. And here comes the big "thank you" from the Democrats in Congress.

ACORN could be eligible for billion in aid from the economic stimulus plan. You know that plan that is supposed to turn our economy around and provide jobs? Yep, that's the one. Somehow, providing aid to ACORN is going to kick start our economy. At least that is what the Democrats want you to believe.

Here's how it works. The economic stimulus bill provides $4.19 billion for "neighborhood stabilization activities." Yup! There you go! We're going to stimulate the economy with "neighborhood stabilization activities." Pretty darn specific if you ask me. So this money for "neighborhood stabilization activities" was originally intended for state and local governments. But the Democrats want to make it available to non-profit entities as well, which means .. tada! .. that ACORN would be eligible for the funds.

Just what this country needs .. using taxpayer money to fund an organization under investigation for voter registration fraud. And that is just the beginning of its troubles.
