Live Thread: Senate Porkulus Vote

Posted on 02/10/2009 7:05:11 AM PST by NoGrayZone

I didn't see a live thread and I just can't watch this debacle alone.

Meagan Kelly on Fox said the FBC filed a lawsuit under the freedom of information act to find out where this "lost" 78 billion dollars went from the first "bailout".

Things are getting a tad bit too interesting for my taste!

Jon Tester, D-MT, on FNC didn’t have a f’n clue what’s in the bill.

“IF it’s in there ...”

I consider myself an eternal optimist on most things in life...Washington DC and the politicians that infest it don’t make the list :)I really do hope they kill the bill because of the Health Care provision, but we need heroes representing us...we have pampered cowards instead.

Hell its immoral to kill babies and the elderly...a lot of this country has no problem doing that...saddling future generations with debt is not even a blip on their morality.

See, the healthcare coordinator was not “just” placed in. It was buried in the by-design swamp of this bill

The senators getting ready to vote on this monster do NOT KNOW what all is included. Criminal!

This insane RUSH TO VOTE NOW, this hysterical rush to vote or disaster will crush us is a strong arm tactic, akin to labor unions...blackmail by this SOB Obama. I despise him.

Why in the hell do the 3 gop traitors AT LEAST demand a slowdown and adequate time to review the damn thing they are pouring OUR hard earned money into?!

We’re finished...I’ve gotten a lot calmer since I’ve realized it.

Me, too. Geographically we've got a good chance of missing all the riots...if any jobs are left my wife will keep hers in - get this - the medical care industry.

On the next act: If Soros is orchestrating this, look to see a next act a determination by Obama and Congress that we can no longer afford the War on Drugs. It will be justified from the standpoint of cost, corruption of Mexico, overcrowded prisons, whatever, and will involve legalizing some of the “benign” drugs such as marijuana. Drug legalization is one of Soros’ pet projects, along with, I believe, open borders.

Specter know this pet project is in the bill ...

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2181685/posts

Mr. Specter said he would have supported the package even if Democrats had not added $6.5 billion in additional money for the National Institutes of Health to the final version of the bill.

Mr. Specter had sought the money for years, and had mentioned that he wanted the money in the bill when he met with President Barack Obama last week.

That brought a tear to my eye. Has society become so used to evil? I always thought we could all change things around and prevent the violence of the end of days from occurring, but it only seems to get worse.

FOX mentioned that a GOP group was organizing to find an opponent for Specter in next year’s primary. Does anyone know who this group is? I’m ready to support them.

Did you see the link to the Betsy McCaughey article on Drudge? If the old people get stirred up about their healthcare, God help the 'rats.

I guess there's still hope...sort of...

It’s amazing how much money we’d save in health care, education, prison costs, legal system, theft, etc. if we we sent all the illegals back to where they came from. I may sound cold, but that alone would save alot of money.

I honestly don’t know what else to do. I’ve called my congressman and both senators’ offices and voiced my opinion. It won’t do any good, though. The death of America will be accelerated greatly with the passing of this bill.

Pardon my ignorance, but I thought I heard that once this is voted on, and if passed, it goes back to the House.

Did I hear that correctly? And if so, why does it go back? Is there a chance it could be killed there?

Toomey’s considering another challenge to Specter (narrowly lost to him in the 2004 primary). Also Corbett, PA AG would be a good challenger.

Either Toomey or Corbett would be excellent challengers. I favor Corbett because of his name recognition throughout the state.

Why do you think Obama is going to Florida today? He is trying to “woo” or “trick” senior citizens in making sure they are on board because he sees trouble on the horizon.
