Remember the movie, Little Shop of Horrors, when Rick Moranis’ nerdy character finally found a way to be popular, with help from a man-eating plant who demanded to be fed? Even though Moranis saw how evil this monster was, his wanting to be popular overrode any pangs of conscience he felt toward feeding it.
And we all know how that turned out:
Well, in that vein, with regard to the DNC and their pet monster ACORN, life is imitating art:
WASHINGTON – During consideration of H.R. 3126, legislation to establish a Consumer Financial Protection Agency (CFPA), Democrats on the House Financial Services Committee voted to pass an amendment offered by Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) that will make ACORN eligible to play a role in setting regulations for financial institutions.
The Waters amendment adds to the CFPA Oversight Board 5 representatives from the fields of “consumer protection, fair lending and civil rights, representatives of depository institutions that primarily serve underserved communities, or representatives of communities that have been significantly impacted by higher-priced mortgages” to join Federal banking regulators in advising the Director on the consistency of proposed regulations, and strategies and policies that the Director should undertake to enforce its rules.
By making representatives of ACORN and other consumer activist organizations eligible to serve on the Oversight Board, the amendment creates a potentially enormous government sanctioned conflict of interest. ACORN-type organizations will have an advisory role on regulating the very financial institutions from which they receive millions of dollars annually in direct corporate contributions and benefit from other financial partnerships and arrangements. These are the same organizations that pressured banks to make subprime mortgage loans and thus bear a major responsibility for the collapse of the housing market.
I guess the dems just can’t help it, can they? After complaint upon criminal complaint launched against ACORN, Maxine Waters still has the chutzpah to offer them a place at the table for regulating the financial industry.
Ain’t corruption grand?

Well, Leo, it is, after all, Kerosene Maxine. She’s a nutjob from the CLBC. ACORN helps keep her in office, I”m sure.
ACORN should bereceiving no money from the feds.
Maybe the Whiner in Chief should appoint an ACORN czar…

I believe he has reserved that position for himself.
The utter and abject cluelessness of the RRL in Congress is stunning. Oh, I am glad to see it—-it’s a lot more entertaining than the prospect of them actually developing intelligence or integrity or the ability to read the American public, though it can be a slightly guilty pleasure, as most of us don’t find it nice to laugh at the impaired. In these cases I excuse myself, as the impairment is self-inflicted and so often connected with venality and arrogance as well as stupidity.
Remember people, Waters is the one that wanted to “nationalize” the oil industry. She is straight up Marxist, and a racist to boot.
‘Ol Maxine is about as smart as a box of hair, but she IS consistent.
