ACORN is just the first step...

..In defunding the numerous other contractors who have defrauded the US government or otherwise violated their contracts and law in conducting business with the US government.

All these, and many more, contractors must also be defunded for defrauding the government and the American taxpayer...that is, of course, unless the bill stripping funding from ACORN for fraudulent behavior, for which no one has ever been convicted let alone indicted...was anything more than a partisan witch-hunt.

So, if Congress is REALLY concerned about contractor fraud...if the bill defunding ACORN isn't really an unconstitutional bill of attainder...heads should start rolling very soon. Somehow, I don't think our congressional delegations on either side of the aisle have the spine to start slaughtering their campaign cash cows.

How does ACORN compare to contractors that work for the government? Those companies actually produce things or services for the government (military mostly). ACORN does nothing of the sort.
