House GOP leader asks Bush to cut off ACORN funds

WASHINGTON – House Republican leader John Boehner on Wednesday urged President Bush to block all federal funds to a grass-roots community group that has been accused of voter registration fraud.

"It is evident that ACORN is incapable of using federal funds in a manner that is consistent with the law," Boehner, R-Ohio, wrote Bush, saying that funds should be blocked until all federal investigations into the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now are completed.

1. Who cares??? Registrations are closed now! Your drama won't accomplish

a damn thing!

3. We need to care and to hit back. This is how they weave a tale

and the next thing you know, McCain is sworn in.

2. Neither Bush nor Boehner decide where money is spent. Grandstanding. nt

4. Bush* doesn't have that ability

The Congress has control of the Nation's purse strings. Bush* can submit his budget and he can either approve and sign the budget given back to him or he can veto it but he can not arbitrarily cut off funding that has been approved and signed..You would think any member of Congress would know that and especially the Minority leader...
