It seems only fair we should demand that those who enter into contracts with the government be held to a high standard. Corker/Alexander want ACORN to be held accountable, but Republicans don’t want to hold anyone accountable when it comes to all things military.

There is a common thread that runs through organizations like Blackwater and Halliburton, the mishandling of intel and decision to illegally torture detainees at Gitmo — all of which have hurt this country’s security. It comes down not only to a lack of accountability, but a conscious decision to look the other way.

I wish I knew why that was.

By what they do, ACORN empowers the have-nots and some of the powerful people in this country fear losing power more than anything else. KBR/Halliburton are already part of the power structure and are not a threat.

Utterly ignored. And the only reason I can think of is that people are uncomfortable writing about rape.

Why are conservatives worried about ACORN’s foibles but not Halliburton’s?

I’m glad you’re taking up this shameful vote by our senators. i’ve been writing some about it and it is likewise vile that the state’s news outlets have utterly ignored this story. there is simply no defense for voting No on Franken’s amendment and our senators must come forward and explain their decision to do so.
