ALERT: "They've Cut A Deal With Three Of Our Guys" [Byron York]
National Review ^
Posted on 02/06/2009 10:23:52 AM PST by Blue Turtle
Just got off the phone with an influential Republican senator. I asked how things stood with the stimulus, and he answered instantly, "They've cut a deal with three of our guys. They're delaying us from offering amendments. I suspect that as soon as they've got it written, they will offer it as an amendment, vote on it, and that will be it." He didn't have details on what the deal might be, but most Republicans seem to suspect it will involve relatively small cuts — and very little change in the price tag of the bill from the House version — that will be touted as a major bipartisan compromise. My senator suspects — hopes? — that no more than four Republicans will vote for the bill.

One question: Why did they have to “make a deal”. Hell, they have got the votes! This is BS, pure and simple.

If so, the GOP should impeach them. I’m sure they could get enough dem votes to get it done. Send the Rinos home.

Names?
Oh, c’mon. You’ve been around FR long enough to know the names in your sleep.
Snowe, Collins (how can one state be that stupid?), Vonio from Ohio, maybe Specter, maybe Grahamnesty.
