OK you Maine citizens! It’s time for a recall!!!!! NOW!!! Start it before the House gets this bill, so they know what we will do to those who mortgage our children’s behavior.
Carl Cameron, FOX News, implies that the Democrats don’t want the compromise bill... interesting.
Amid stunning new job losses and yet another bank failure, key senators and the White House reached tentative agreement Friday night on an economic stimulus measure at the heart of President Barack Obama’s recovery plan. Two officials said the emerging agreement was for a bill with a $780 billion price tag, but there was no immediate confirmation.
The tentative agreement capped a tense day of back room negotiations in which Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, joined by White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel, sought to attract the support of enough Republicans to give the measure the needed 60-vote majority.
Officials strongly suggested that Sen. Edward M. Kennedy’s vote would be needed to assure passage. The Massachusetts Democrat, battling a brain tumor, has been in Florida in recent days and has not been in the Capitol since suffering a seizure on Inauguration Day more than two weeks ago. The senator’s office did not comment.

It always a good idea to actually READ the story rather then be stamped by a Media headline. Story does not confirm the headline at all.
Once again, the headline is totally at odds with the meat of the story. I suggest people read the actual story rather these be buffaloed by the typical dishonest media headline.
This is not a done deal at all. Time to melt the phones and emails in DC
Did the RINOs really just work out a “Deal” to go back to the 800 billion House version rather than 900 billion Senate version? Excuse the language, but apparently they’re idea of a “deal” is to take the 8 inch shaft rather than the 9 inch one.

Time to start a Rebel Republican movement. These RepublicRats are getting old. I was so glad to see Gordon Smith get sent packing and so will these. Why vote for a RepublicRat when you can vote for the real thing.
Pray for America, Our Troops and obama’s Guidance
i am sure this was posted already, but my local talk radio station said they recalled ailing senator kennedy back to washington for the vote! he must look awful.
The 24 hour news channels are saying that 14 Senators met in secret and crafted the compromise amendments and that Collins and Ben Nelson of Nebraska took the lead.
Looks like queen Pelosi is really pissed!!! She is going to sink Zero before he gets started. He is about to put her in the corner.
Phone call to Susan Collins won’t go through!! What a _)(_)_(*(*_)(_)(*^$#%
Throw her out of the party. Simple solution
Note to Congress: STOP SPENDING OUR MONEY!
The “WAR ON CAPITALISM” in now in high gear.
