Continuing the GOP's attack on the poor people's organizing group ACORN, the House this month passed by a wide margin a provision that would bar ACORN from receiving any federal funding. Every House Republican voted 'aye' as well as 172 Democrats. Only 75 Democrats opposed it. Soon the Senate, which has already -- by a 83 to 7 margin -- barred ACORN from receiving federal housing grants, is considering its own complete ban measure.
