Given the Democratic majority in the U.S. House of representatives, yesterday's 345 to 75 vote for cutting off all federal funding for ACORN was an eye-opener as a large majority finally recognized that it was time to throw this gang under the bus. EaBo Clipper, over at Red Mass Group, has an interesting POST which highlights the fact that eight of the ten members of the Massachusetts Congressional delegation voted against measure. Talk about drinking the Kool Aid?, the ACORN eight must have a Kool Aid IV. But to those of us in the Massachusetts 10th, the significant news was our Congressman Bill Delahunt who voted to keep the federal money flowing to those wonderful rascals at ACORN!
Some might say that at least he showed up, unlike Barney Frank, that tower of Jello, who managed to be AWOL for the vote in spite of having been present for a vote only minutes before. As a small blessing, we should also be glad that Bill wasn't in Caracas with his bud, Hugo Chavez, who seems to be doing his best to join the Iran-lead push to creating another atomic weapon coalition.
Meanwhile, back at health care debate, many of us in the 10th are wondering if we somehow missed Bill's Town Meeting to collect input from the constituency regarding this mother of all social programs. Not to worry, no such meeting was held. So just jot your thoughts down in an email and send it off to:
William.Delahunt@mail.house.gov
Unless the email servers are still in meltdown, Bill will surely appreciate your input.
And don't worry if you missed the August 22nd demonstration at Delahunt's Hyannis office. CLICK HERE FOR VIDEO. Apparently, Bill missed it too.
So during this, our summer of discontent, we can jokingly ask: "where is our Congressman?" But the punchline is not quite as pleasant. He appears to be running unopposed for re-election. The better question is where are the voters of the 10th?
