Michelle Bachmann wins one against ACORN…
Awesome Rep. Bachmann! and Frank actually APOLOGIZED to ACORN, pathetic! From Politico:
Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.), who spent much of Wednesday battling the GOP over the bias crimes bill, is offering a big mea culpa for failing to kill an amendment by Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN since Politico wont tell you) preventing ACORN from getting federal funds because they have members who were indicted for voter registration fraud. passed by the House.
“I made a mistake yesterday in not objecting to the Bachmann amendment. I did not read it carefully, and it was in the last minute that the amendment was accepted. It is a deeply flawed amendment and I am opposed to it,” said Frank, the chairman of the House Financial Services Committee.
“Banning people from possible participation in government programs based on an indictment is a violation of the basic principles of due process, and I intend to offer a corrected amendment when the bill comes to the floor of the House next week.”
No word from Barney Frank on how Stimulus Money was SPECIFICALLY legislated OUT of Blagos hands since he considers “banning people from possible participation in government programs based on an indictment is a violation of the basic principles of due process”. I guess only SOME bills need to meet the basic principles of due process….Maybe Rep Frank needs to speak to Rep Kirk and Rep Foster on their bipartisan amendment to strip Gov Blagojevich who was not even indicted at the time of power over stimulus funds!!!!
HYPOCRISY THY NAME IS BARNEY FRANK
