Health care and its' effectiveness, as we now know it, will deteriorate and suffer. ACORN will grow.

You should see the dog and pony show on capitol hill right now with Barney Frank’s 0 teeth grilling of major financials CEOs.
My hero for the day was the republican rep from North Carolina who riped them for continuing to raise credit card interest rates while taking the TARP bailout.

“Victims” of a recession?

No way...more like people who refuse to save, plan or make good decisions.

And expect others who do.... .to pay for their incompetence.

Same song and dance for 50 years. They should be ashamed of themselves...paying/voting for men to steal their neighbors livelihood.

How can they call themselves Americans anymore?

[STARWISE]

That was the past .... this is NOW! Different world.

The GOP should have taken out Specter when they had the chance. Maybe, maybe they will get a clue and take him (and the other two) out when they come up for their elections. I, personally, would love it if Steele told them not to count on any party funds.

[b4its2late]

They are calling Collins a maverick now. LOL. She sounded drunk to me. I think all of our Reps should be tested for drugs.

“the other Republicans on the same committees as ‘the three rinos’, should refuse to serve on any committee that they are on.”
People get a grip.
Refusing to sit on committee's lets the Dims pass anything they want with NO input from any Republican. This is the same idiot logic that people used to sit at home during the election and hand the Presidency and Congress to the Dims.

The Founders set up this system for a reason, refusing the participate in the legislative process and sitting out elections in order to get your way is not what they had in mind!!!

[Lurker]

We do not matter, BECAUSE THEY DO NOT FEAR US.

That needs to change and change now.

OMG! That makes me sick! McConnell said that? How in the world are conservatives ever going to have a voice when one our supposed own leaders in the party are giving Specter a pass...and not only a pass, but being “confident he’ll be re-elected with our support.” WHAT IN THE WORLD!

[HonestConservative]

No.

[BlueAngel]

OMG! Huckabee just said on FOX News that there is $30 million in the bill to save mice in Pelosi’s district!!!

RAt saver!

[Dr. Scarpetta]

Makes no sense...

[roses of sharon]

What got us thrown out of power was the growth of Government and the deficit...

Quite hilarious really, lol....one would have be a political ignorant to believe that putting in office the UnAmerican Democrat party would help with the growth of Gov and the deficit..god help us.

[razbinn]

Specter,you POS,I CURSE you in the nastiest possible way.Finally biting the hand that fed you,I hope you choke!!!

[OldNavyVet]

A trillion here, a trillion there ... Pretty soon they’ll be talking about real money.

[upchuck]

Susan Collins and Arlen Specter are there speaking in favor of the deal.

So I guess the Nationalized Healthcare provisions were removed?

Specter told Fox News the other day that these provisions would be removed from the final bill.

[kcvl]

Don’t bet on it!

[Cedric]

That's right.

Specter first got swept (like a dirtball) into office in the Reagan landslide, so I s’pose we could blame the Gripper, too.

[HonestConservative]

If he gets Rep support I am out. Out.

[popdonnelly]

I hope Specter gets forced into a primary, and loses.
