I know the democrats are a close group but I can’t help but believe that some of their senators from red or purple states aren’t getting hammered by their voters. Can’t see Reid getting all of them to vote for it, could well be wrong.

I heard Collins was out too - leaving Specter and Snowe.

Why Specter would be for this is beyond me. He’s up for re-election in ‘10 and this vote would guarantee a primary.

Voinovich probably went behind closed doors to find out what the f**k Collins, Snowe and Spector were UP TO!

Called Spectors office. They asked for my zip code. I told them I was stuck in Michigan with no one to represent me and to vote no.

“Sen. George Voinovich (R-Ohio) has pulled out of negotiations on a bipartisan compromise on the Senate’s economic stimulus bill. “

Before the three names were release, there was a lot of GV bashing on other threads. I hope he will get some calls thanking him.

... Democrats to reach the 60 votes they need to pass the bill.

The minimum they need is 50 plus Biden. They have those. All they want is 'Pub votes for cover, plus enough to invoke cloture. So we either filibuster or let the roll be called and have only the ''Rats support it. When it crashes and burns, we don't hesitate to say "I told you so" and tie it around their pencil necks like an anchor and sink the 'Rats with it.

...saying he did not believe there was a deal he could agree to on an amendment that would cut as much as $100 billion from the more than $920 billion measure.

The bill was $819 billion when it was approved by the House. Cutting $100 billion out of the $920 billion version only gets it back to the crap bill that Nancy Pelosi sent the Senate. If the GOP Senators consider that a victory, we are all screwed.

Thank you for this, Sen. Voinovich.

100 billion? This is just ridiculous!

100 billion does nothing. This thing needs to be cut down to at least 400 billion - and not an ounce of the "new white meat"!

They just cut the Fla. water park - wooopteedoo! 2 million dollars! KRAPOLA!

the Majority Leader has his responsibility, and he’s got his Members that he has to take care of

Hey, senators: How about taking care of the American people for a change instead of your own sorry butts.

Not to worry. Among Specter, Snowe and Collins the dems have MORE than enough RINO hide to make certain that the nation and the people will be betrayed.

I wonder if he got all weepy? At least he’s doing the right thing this time.

“It just doesn’t meet my criteria, and I feel very sorry because I think the Majority Leader has his responsibility, and he’s got his Members that he has to take care of.”

Sorry that's not who he has to take care of.

His job is to take care of us, the American Citizens.

And polls show that over two thirds don't want this multi-trillion boondoggle. Yep, multi.

With the continuing funding for most of this pork, and the interest it's somewhere around 5 trillion and growing.

Next Harry's "member" comment withheld for common decency.

Good to see Arlon cares more about the Senate than he does the Country. Snow and Collins are just ditzy broads.
