Is there anything we can do NOW...NOW? Not next election? Why are they even Republicans? How do these people get elected time after time..I don’t even blame them..I blame us.

I agree with you about doing something NOW. This refrain of "just wait to 2010" is growing a bit tiresome. People need to check their history a little before naively plunging ahead with this belief...its a dangerous gamble.

From the www.thefroginthekettle.com website: "The Election Turn-Over Solution. Many believe this is just the typical back and forth between election cycles, the dems have it for a while and then the republicans have it back for a while. They say things like “you just wait til 2010 when we get the Congress back” or “they’re gonna over-reach and then…fill in the blank.” Little history folks; guess who ran the House from 1954-1995 (a short 41 YEARS!). Hint, the democrats. During the same period, 1954-1995, the democrats held the Senate 80.95% of the time, often with very and I mean VERY wide margins. So, for those of you who think it’s just a given to “get the Congress back” when the democrats crank up the treasury printing presses, you’d better think again. The republican party may be back in the wilderness for decades. Personally, I don’t think we’re going to get the House back anytime soon and the Senate looks just a daunting. Why? Let’s just say we have a little less than inspiring leadership at the helm right now.

This must ALWAYS be referred to as the Obama spending bill
These three must always be singly described as the only 3 republicans who voted FOR the $1.2 TRILLION DOLLAR OBAMA SPENDING BILL

Number of jobs created must be tracked and widely publicized

fraud waste and abuse must also be exposed and widely reported.

I cannot wait for the first BOOTY CALL and SEXAPALOOZA festivals in California that will receive OBAMA SPENDING PLAN money
