Here we go.

Bon Voyage Madam

[mnehring]

Any dems cross over?

[Badeye]

I’m glad the House GOP held to its principals. First time in quite a while I’ve been happy with them.

[djsherin]

Good. Hopefully this is a sign of things to come. Maybe the Republicans have finally grown some balls.

[twigs]

7

[swatbuznik]

OF COURSE, this will be spun as, “I don’t know why the ‘Pubs didn’t support it, we had “tax cuts” in the bill.”

It’s just...ARGH!!!

[xcamel]

7 this time.

[anniegetyourgun]

I hear Pelosi is off to see the wizard.

[FreedomFerret]

The RINOs prone to flipping showed their stripes though. Keep an eye on them.

[rightinthemiddle]

When you add up the entire Congress, more Democrats voted against it than Republicans voted for it.

7 Dems in the House voted “no.”

3 Pubbies in the Senate will vote “yes.”

[KansasGirl]

How many Democrats voted against it?

[mnehring]

So like the first one, it was bipartisan opposition and the support was strictly partisan.

[Wyatt's Torch]

7 Dems voted against and 1 went Arlen and voted “present”

[Only1choice____Freedom]

I hear Pelosi is off to see the wizard.

She should look out for flying houses on the way.

[Ooh-Ah]

ON FRIDAY, THE 13TH!

>>I’m glad the House GOP held to its principals. First time in quite a while I’ve been happy with them.<<

Now if they can only do it when its not futile.

[Hoodlum91]

Fabulous - I heard her yesterday claim that there would be 20-30 GOP votes this time.
She couldn’t even rein in her rebel Dems.

[jwparkerjr]

There was never any doubt this would pass in the House was there? Our only chance there was to stop the vote itself. Failing in that it was a foregone conclusion that it would pass handily.

The Senate is a different story. It's very close there and without a couple of Republicans sell-out’s it can't pass.

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

“ON FRIDAY, THE 13TH!”

OMG! You’re right!

[acoulterfan]

3 Pubbies in the Senate will vote “yes.”

I still am holding out hope that this is not the case!

[y6162]

I hope we get pics of Nancy climbing up the gov jet.

[Recovering_Democrat]

KUDOS TO THE REPUBLICANS!

[rightinthemiddle]

I think that Deal with the Devil is done.

[Boardwalk]

Finally the Republicans do something right!! Great work to all that made this happen!!!!!

[SparkyBass]

What's all this I keep hearing about "Gassy Stimulants"? I've never had a stimulant in my life. Gassy? Well, I'm all over that. You wouldn't believe how many times I've... what? Huh? It's "Passing Stimulus"? Oh...

Nevermind.

[livius]

A small bright spot - at least the GOP seems to be getting its act together.

[Savagemom]

Every time I see her I think of Dolores Umbridge from Harry Potter.

[bergmeid]

Contact your Republican Congressman/woman and THANK them!!!!

[abishai]

Right. Why is it that the Repubs show some brass only when they are in the minority, though? Frustrating.

[txnativegop]

The Founding Fathers are rolling in their graves right now....

[Only1choice____Freedom]

That means it passes with monopartisan support.

[CindyDawg]

Contact your Republican Congressman/woman and THANK them!!!!

I suppose everyone needed an "atta girl/boy" for a good job but honestly my first thought was "for what? Doing their job?"

[carmody]

I agree and had the same thought. It’s easy to vote against this when you know it’s going to pass. Wonder how they would have voted if their votes were needed by the dems?

[wombtotomb]

anyone have a list of the 7 democrats who voted against it as well? They need a thank you too.

[Badeye]

Because the deadwood rises to the top via Seniority when things are going ‘well’.

[MathDoc]

ON FRIDAY, THE 13TH!

As of today, I finally see the point in that superstition.

[KansasGirl]

The witch Pelosi is on FOX right now.

[txnativegop]

try this

[chippewaman]

The road to 2010 has begun! If, no, strike that ... WHEN this all fails BO can always blame Bush.

[KansasGirl]

“This fulfills the promise of issues they’ve been working on for years.”

See even Pelosi admits that this is a spending bill not a stimulus bill.

[GonzoGOP]

That means it passes with monopartisan support.

No if anyone on the right knew how to spin a news story it would be that it was rammed through despite bipartisan opposition.

[rightinthemiddle]

John Boehner and the GOP leaders should be congratulated. Contact them here:

[bergmeid]

For showing a unanimous disapproval of this POS bill. And for listening to their constituents for a change.

[mojitojoe]

The road to 2010 has begun,

That road has already started and with the 4 BILLION ACORN gets, that road will be completed long before 2010.

[conservativefromGa]

That’s pretty amazing that no Republican voted for it.

[jonrick46]

I hope the “Wizard” greets her with excommunication.

[Bull Market]

Yeah, seriously, where were they last year?

[llevrok]

I hear Pelosi is off to see the wizard.

More likely a Swiss plastic surgeon.

[Bobkk47]

Agree.

[Unam Sanctam]

Good. I’m glad no slippage there. Let’s see what the three stooges in the Senate do.
