Candy Crowley during senator Arlen Specters presentation broke in and during some feedback segment to the CNN online Facilitator stated that ...

I emailed them and asked if thats the case why do they have a US$ 780 billion Banner running on the screen? I sent it twice then they cut into the weather with some Happy songs as Filler music!! I guess they were off script!!
Candy also said that the Interest is astronomical! and makes it even worse...only in a senators mind she said can Higher cost mean lower..hahaha
What a joke... and Sen Specter wants to raise NIH Budget from 10 Billion to 30 billion in the next budget! GOD PLEASE HELP US!!
...guess Bela got her pork
and wait until it comes out of conference!
Any GOPer that votes for this should not be given another vote by the party. I hope Steele turns these guys out on their ear if they vote for it. Lindsey Graham needs to help lead the charge for the renewal of the party in the Senate, I don’t think McConnell has the passion to do it.
I agree I am Dismayed at Specter what a Chump!
this is beyond my comprehension. beyond sickening!
It wouldn’t be bad if the rest of the GOP will hang together. State clearly that they don’t want their name on the package.
And what does “compromise” mean? Is it just a couple of Senators? If it is, that’s more of a personal compromise than a party agreement.
I've had it.
Lindsay Graham? Didn’t you get he and Mitch confused?
Specter is appaling.... he spoke in my hometown in 1994 and said we were eventually going to get to the Point wihere with medicare they will introduce a scoring system to eventually decide when you are worth investing medical cost and when you will reach your government Euthanization Point decided by a Panel of gov’t doctors. This guy is creepy!
this is sickening...
Washington is completely out of control.
Where's a meteorite when you really need one?
No Lindsay Graham is the one catching the headlines, railing against this plan that no way in hell he is voting for it and pointing out the ‘huddling’ senators in the corner. He is pissed off. McConnell is not so passionate or animated. I was saying maybe Graham should lead the fight to get our party back on track in the senate rather than McConnell. I didn’t misspeak.
Wow, Graham has found his backbone! That’s great!
Yes, sickening...but we need to get over it, and look to the days following the passage of the ugly festering sore, to the simple joy of watching what they do when this has no effect on making peoples lives better. It will be just like Tarp (did you catch Ben Stein, supporter of TARP,carping about the poor execution by Paulson?) More of this is coming.
I look for another one of these coming down the pike in about 6 weeks. I’m sorry for the country, but the country needs to take the cure (rant over).

Or a stray Iranian satellite!
The reason TARP doesnt work.
The banks are taking the cash at 5% for big banks who have had to give up stock, and 8% for smaller banks. Nobody can make loans when their money cost is too high. They are using it for cash flow only. That doesn’t solve the liquidity problem really at all.
Two of my bankers at different banks, one in Chicago and one in Florida refused the money at that cost. Suntrust is in my area and they took the money. They are sucking wind right now and who knows if they will survive.
Graham finds his backbone for a moment and he should lead the party for the Senate?
You are easily beguilded.
The dems are even saying that the bill is 42% tax cuts and 58% spending.
