I doubt McCain can compete with the DNC at bribes and blackmail.

No kidding, 2 Republicans is bipartisan? Thats effing ridiculous. This is democrats shoving this down the throat of America. Democrats need to be held accountable for this monstrosity.

[KC_Conspirator]

How about making the same quote for democrats too.

ANY “stimulus” plan that contains anything other than actual tax cuts(none of this “rebate” nonsense) is deadly to the economy and I hope is deadly to reelection chances of any Republican that votes for it.

Thun is saying what you are saying..it is not a bipartisan bill.

It’s imperative that we keep up the resistance. They are all betting that everyone will shut-up and accept it once it’s passed because that’s what always happens.

I say we ratchet it up. Tell America what these corrupt politicians pushed on us. Detail every payback, every socialist program and ask each time, how does this stimulate the economy. Keep screaming like it’s still in debate.

If they say 3 Republicans voted for it too we say shame on them!

And shame on the 300 Democrats and the Democratic President who shoved this down American’s throats!

Folks - I know things are looking rough but if you go to a variety of liberal web sites, you will see a huge groundswell of anger. Even NPR. The fact is many Dems know that this has a good chance of making things worse and will ruin any idea of a permanent socialistic future. They understand that the gradual, year-by-year approach was doing fine but now with the super-sizing of government in cost and tentacles in just 17 days has many spooked.

Now many are actually listening to the idea that tax cuts are the way and some spending that proves immediate. They are also terrified about the thousands of stories of waste that will come about and it will almost exclusively beDems.

So buck up. The Dems have rammed through a very unpopular bill that will become more unpopular in the coming days (after reconcilation and final votes, unless they get some sense) and weeks and months ahead. We have the power to instantly fight this outrage that we never had before. Thank God for the internet and talk radio.

No argument from me...

McCain is still surprised every time he "reaches across the aisle" and draws back a bloody stump.

You sound like Lloyd Bonafide. Know him?

Exactly, all they needed was one R vote to have the rat media wing present it as “bipartisan”, and that’s just what they’re doing. They know it’s a joke, but they love to laugh at the “G”OP’s expense.

Too late;Snowe got millions added for state government,so she and Susie are going to vote for it,along with Specter,who will probably retire in 2010.They can all go to hell.

Can’t say that I do.
