I want to thank the House Republicans for standing strong. I also suggest us Freepers call and thank them. They did well by us. We always call them to complain, let’s thank them for their vote.

[Brilliant]

It’s amazing that they did not even get one GOP vote.

The reason they wanted biparftisan support is that when this becomes a huge mistake they didn’t want the republicans to be able to say they stood up to it.

Good- I raised Pure Hell with my reps.

[I see my hands]

Gots to call your rep give and them thanks or they won't do it again.

A big “well done and thank you” to the House Republicans! Standing ovation here. We’re proud of you for standing together on principle!!

Keep it up!

Every headline that calls this a “stimulus” bill is dishonest. It was like 12% stimulus. Our media is so lazy. “The government said it was a stimulus bill, so we’ll call it a stimulus bill.”

Good to hear that. Where can I get a copy of the bill? Michael Savage is giving out some of the outrageous stuff porked in this bill. I’d like a copy of it myself...

[redk]

Right you are. I refuse to call it the stimulus bill, it is a PORK BILL.

Good.
Obama and dems OWN this nightmare lock stock and barrel.
There is going to case after case of mis-use, abuse, stealing, corruption and utter failure to produce results.

They own it all.

THANK YOU!

[Pinkbell]

I see the Democrat who replaced Chabot voted Yea, not that I’m surprised. Chabot would have voted Nay.

[combat_boots]

Thank you, House Republicans.

GOD BLESS JOHN BOEHNER!

[Tarpon]
