Yeah, keep saying support the party vote for McCain... this is the kind of crap you get when you compromise your principles for party unity and you have no means to complain much less combat it.
Sodomy, Socialism and Surrender. The more things change...
What are we doing here people? Is there anyone out there? What happened to WE THE PEOPLE?
This is wealth redistribution, plain and simple. We are being screwed by our own.

Lugar has always been a squish-head, and now he is senile old squish-head.
What are the House and Senate rules for demanding a recorded vote? Can the Dems just have a voice vote whenever they feel like it, or can one member raise a point of order and demand a recorded vote. If the second, then I am even more disgusted than usual at the Republicans who have Potomac Fever and don't want to make waves. Everything Congress does should have a recorded vote. I don't want a resolution naming Broccoli Appreciation Day passed on a voice vote, much less giving away nearly a trillion dollars of our nations treasure.
13.2 * .007 * (10^12) = 92 400 000 000
Looks like that would be 90 billion dollars. Anybody know where we can see how much we spend of foreign aid now?
I think its 20 billion just for Israel and Egypt. I would think that with Iraq we are already over 90 billion.
They made it clear they are embarrassed by conservatives, as during the imbroglio over Shamnesty. They were hand in glove with democrats trying to give the country away and were mad that conservatives spoke up.
You don’t see republicans working to get McCain to mend fences with conservatives, do you?
No.
They are all busy telling conservatives to drop their principles and support McCain.
Hey Phyllis, is this the same plan as the Bush-McCain plan?
Let's see. Do the Republicans control the committee?
How retarded is it to blame the Republicans for something passing out of committee that they have ZERO chance of blocking in committee?
Pretty damn retarded.
You can't filibuster something in committee.
This site is becoming disgusting in blaming Republicans for things Democrats do.
Retarded.
Just declare this forum a third party site and get it over with.
Do you see the same pattern here that I do?
I think everyone should stop, take a deep breath, and think before all the knee jerk reactions condemning the republicans for allowing this to pass.
There is a strategy at work here if you take the time to think about what the Republicans have done. They have allowed this bill to pass the committee because it is such a travesty and because it has Obama’s name on it as a sponsor. No republican is on record as having voted for this bill so it becomes fodder for a whole series of campaign commercials during the election.

Here is B. HUSSEIN O.’s #1 accomplishment you couldn’t remember in your interview with Matthews the other day.
