Corker vote was a procedural manuver... check out his website, he’s strongly against it!

“Corker: “Stimulus” Package Is Nothing Short of a Disaster”

From the Senator’s website.

YES IT IS. The socialists had a goal and they have achieved it. There is so much junk in this bill that even if they take out a few things to appease the media and the dumbed-down public, they get what they want.

No wonder Hillary looks so happy lately.

The ‘folks’ should demand that in exchange for passing this bill, ALL future, former, and present congress people give up their pensions and primo health care plan and roll back their salaries to 1990 levels.

Could you perhaps see about changing the title of this thread? The CNN story is titled: “Key Senate vote advances $827 billion stimulus bill”

There is a difference because Corker is voting against the bill.

So you don’t want the facts correct when you start a thread — how convenient. At least the Mod changed the title.

Thanks Arlen, Susan, and Olympia, for selling America, and freedom down the sewer.

How very sad. I heard Hannity ripping him a new one. He just couldn’t answer. None of these traitors can. It is seriously time to clean house.

Then why not have someone like Martinez do it. That would be the strategic move.

It is apparent that you did not bother to read this thread or you would know they always pick someone to vote with the other side in case it has to come back up. Corker was that person for the GOP leadership.

Didn't those other 3 morons already vote with the other side?

Instead at yelling at people, realize you made an error. This was a cloture vote, not the actual vote for the bill. Huge difference.

Corker is voting against the bill. His was a procedural vote according to Rules in the Senate. Ever hear votes where the Majority Leader votes with the other side on a vote?

Except for the fact that there was an article today of Corker calling the stimulus a total disaster.

This was reported on CNN new as a “done deal”. Fox was reporting on the latest update of the “octuplets story” at the time...

Corker does not support it and his website is explicit that he does not and he was not part of the compromise.

“Perhaps you should ask the mods to change the title of your thread to match the actual story: “Key Senate vote advances $827 billion stimulus bill”. This would also be more accurate since they haven’t voted on the bill but only to end debate on the bill.”

Done. Thank you.
