I’m with you, but, well, I guess my spirit broke with the first bailout. After all that work, and stopping it dead, they voted to overrule us. I knew it would happen again. I’m sick about it, but if it passes, I’m going to try and get a pony out of it. Might as well have something to ride to the slaughterhouse.

[St. Louis Conservative]

As long as GOP support is limited to Collins/Specter/Snowe, I still consider it a victory for Republicans and conservatives. It’s unrealistic to expect those RINOs to hold tough on a vote like this. Still, it’s disappointing.

RALLY THE TROOPS MY FELLOW LOYAL COUNTRYMEN/WOMEN/ AND FREEPERS!!!!!

[HwyChile]

I hope that she conditioned it on gaining more support from the GOP. If that is the case, then I hope it won’t and I hope it falls apart. A lot of hope on my part, but hey, it seems to be one of the buzz words that is in style these days.

[arealconservativeforachange]

Well at least Collins is Republican!

/massive sarcasm

[Charles Martel]

Bipartisanship is when Democrats and Republicans get together to rob the American people blind.

George Carlin got this one right. The word "bipartisan" really DOES mean some larger-than-usual scam is being carried out.

[SuziQ]

Oh, and if the vote hasn't happened yet, how does ANYONE know how she'll vote on it, if she herself hasn't announced it?

I don't trust Harry Reid to tell the truth about anything. This is probably his way of trying to put pressure on the holdouts.

[Deo volente]

Wait until this "stimulus" doesn't work, and they ask for another one (or two, or three) down the line.
I'll give it six months, tops, before we go through this all over again. When the hyperinflation finally hits, we'll be paying $100 for a pack of gum.

[kinsman redeemer]

I KNEW this would happen!

SAY “NO!” to the WHOLE D*** THING!

[1010RD]

Just called using my best Maine accent!

[tcrlaf]

I keep getting “Your call did not go through”...

People must be jamming her phone lines right now!!

[PhiKapMom]

Exactly. Know the feeling. Then we find out that Franken didn’t pay his taxes either but wants to be a Senator. It is a nightmare right now.

emailed...I imagine they’ll dump it as soon as they see I’m not from Maine, though...

[Centurion2000]

Dow’s up 217, I don’t see anything on CNN website yet.

That's because the porkulus was failing. It will go WAY down Monday if porkzilla passes this weekend.

[fishergirl]

I just called Collins’ Washington number and a recording said it was forwarded to Claire McCaskell’s phone! What the h..?

[mrsmel]

I have Zero respect for all politicians. We would be better off without any of them.

Ditto. There is no such thing as a statesman anymore, just greedy pigs muscling their way to the trough.

[Snickering Hound]

Can't say I'm surprised.

[Syncro]

I don't know if folded is the right work.

If she folded, she would be against the bill.

[pallis]

Make everyone who votes for this poverty promotion bill pay for it at the polls, and I mean everyone, not just intellectually challenged Republicans. See that Republicans pay for it during the primaries. Things are going to get bad now, like the Carter days, and worse. Be ready. This bit of Socialist foolishness is just the start. If they can pass this puke paper, they can pass anything. Just knock over the weak Republicans.
