Michele Bachmann and Barney Frank Faceoff Over ACORN (Video)

By The Staff at wowOwow.com

It was a battle royale on Lou Dobbs last night, when Reps. Michele Bachmann and Barney Frank discussed Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now.

Bachmann insists ACORN should no longer receive federal funding because a member has been investigated for electoral fraud. Frank disagrees — and that’s putting it lightly. Frank, a Democrat from Massachusetts, points out that the Bush administration gave the group $13 million. Bachmann, a Republican who hails from Minnesota, says she’s "concerned about the eligibility criteria" for such groups and says Congress has a "fiduciary responsibility to set the bar very high for organization" that receives federal dollars.

Frank bites back by pointing out that the Republicans did nothing during their Congressional reign, "Where were the Republicans when George Bush was giving the ACORN housing counseling entity millions of dollars?"

Funny how she is labled a loon when the sissy man allows for parking in the rear, when the sign clearly says exit only………A severe case of getting the truth "Backasswards"……..Pun intended!

And people like you are the main reason I now longer attend church and never will again.

I appreciate that you would think me so powerful regarding such a major decision in your life, But I must resign that move to your own doing. You left the Church fp for one reason and one reason only, that being that you had a clash of the minds regarding what God has to say about what your purpose here was, pure and simple! AND, just as you cannot ride my coattails into heaven, you certain cannot blame me, if I don’t see you there!

I left the church because of people’s stupidity and bigotry—people like you only further convince me that that was the right decision. As for heaven, with your obvious bigotry and unChristian values I seriously doubt you’ll make it.

Nope, not buying it fp! You left because you didn’t want to do what be what God called you to do, period. You couldn’t go on living your life and doing what ever it was you wanted to do and be inline with God. AND, for a grown man to attempt to tell me that the bigotry in the church you attended ran you away tells me that you were more into what the people of that church were doing than paying the required attention to God. Remember fp, church is simply for the fellowship with other believers, BUT, who you are going to learn about, is supposed to be God and what he has to say. If you decided to split the church, that’s a reflextion of you and just like your Liberal thinking that want’s to blame everyone else for what goes wrong in your life, you want to blame the church, when in fact it was you who couldn’t cut it. In other words, Don’t blame God because you felt the church was bigoted, it was your responsibility to find out what God had to say! If your pastor of said church, taught from the word of God that Homosexuality was an abomination, well hate to burst your bubble, he was right and that is not bigoted at all, that’s the word of God……Your responsibility to believe it or not, not anyone else’s! You can sit on your atheistic tush all day long with your doubt……..While my life here is full with blessing’s and my afterlife is with God, is secured!

I’m sorry Lady G! It just amazes me that what is right (Truth) is considered wrong, while wrong (Abomination) is considered right……..Sigh!

Funnier still is how fast I would be deleted for saying something nowhere near as bad.  You are truly disgusting and pretty much a prime example of why the rest of the country wonders if the Republican party can survive being associated with the likes of you.  And how would you be such an expert on the subject of gay sex?  Another Christian doing some dabbling?  A faithful follower of Reverend Ted Haggard, perhaps?

Gramma, I know your old, but you can still grow up!

Not as old you are, and certainly not as old as your stale old nonsense.  I’m a young gramma, toots.  And I’m proud of my grandchildren.

No Gramma, You’re older, waaaay older, anyone who calls someone toots is old and/or refering to a body part you must have that’s going south!
