Based on FoxNews’ website, it was a test vote. But still nothing to be particularly happy about.

One RINO voted for it and two abstained (the Minn seat is still not settled.)
Which RINO voted for it (let me guess, Spector?)

Collins, Snowe, and Specter all just lost hope of Reelection. The GOP should cut off all political funding for these traitors.

These 61 need to call themselves People’s Deputies and not Senators. Treacherous socialist thugs, they are.

This is a special emergency ping to all lists that I manage.It appears that the Senate has confirmed Porkulus by a vote of 61-36.

61? Spector was just on the air with Hannity saying that the three RINO’s plus 57 RATS was the necessary 60 for cloture. Who was 61?

Senate Democrats attracted just enough Republican votes to clear a key procedural hurdle for the $838 billion economic recovery bill Monday, as they worked toward hammering out a final version of the legislation by week’s end.
By a vote of 61-36, the Senate voted to cut off debate, setting up a likely vote on final passage Tuesday. Democrats needed a 60-vote majority.
If the bill passes Tuesday as expected, lawmakers will then have to reconcile the differences between the Senate and House versions of the package.

Why did Corker vote for it?
To: benjibrowder
The RNC and the GOP will still give plenty of money to these filthy RINOs. Hell Im sure Bush will come out of retirement to go campaign for them.
Lets face it folks, the American public reelected 99% of the filthy politicians who voted for Pork 1 (TARP) why should we expect them to give a damn.
