U.S. Senate Republicans are not planning to try and use procedural maneuvers to delay passage of a proposed $789 billion economic stimulus bill, the party's leader in the Senate, Mitch McConnell, said on Wednesday.
McConnell said there was a widespread feeling in the minority party that they "ought to vote and move on." He spoke after congressional negotiators said they had reached a deal on the massive package of spending and tax cuts to try and rescue the flailing economy.

It’s over. Now watch and see how many GOP senators cross over and vote for this “improved” bill.
Vote out all of these bums.
He was against it before he was for it! Rush is right.
Well, this certainly doesn’t seem to jibe with Rush’s commentary today. Doesn’t seem like there is any fight left. Do we have to wait for these dinosaurs to die? I’d kinda like to be around to see the payback, but with crap like this, I’m guessing my children and grandchildren might see the Resurrection, if it comes to pass................
It'll be dead country walking.
Part of me wants them to pass this garbage, have it fail and take back our country. I’m so fed up with the whole lot of them.
I’m kinda with you —— pessimistic-——itchin’ for a fight because I’m old....I’m just clinging to straws now hoping something might work out for my children and grandchildren....

I sure hope the number is no greater than three (preferably zero).

That's not news. Senate republicans didn't do half of what they could have to delay getting the bill this far. Unanimous agreement to shorten time between passing cloture and voting on the bill; absence of objection to taking a vote on the bill, etc. Virtually zero procedural opposition.
I agree with your assessment. The most important part is to maintain party discipline. When it goes south, make sure that there is no way that the GOP can be tarred in ANY WAY with it. It's going to pass one way or the other.
And when, but not if, we get back in power...do whatever needs to be done to ensure socialism can NEVER get back in power!
(I'm actually thinking about lowering my tax bracket and becoming a social studies teacher...work to change a few skulls full of mush for the next generation)
Mitch is a poor leader and spokesperson. He exudes what is lacking in the GOP. He is stiff, like he has a permanent corn cob up the o holio and is a poor communicator. A walking corpse just doesn’t get folks on board.
He can’t even hold it together now. It is going to take a whole lotta different acting pubbies to compete with the RATs.
Of course he won’t. He will bend over grab his ankles and let them vote. The American people are with the GOP on this.
Remember the scene from Mars Attacks when the martians went to address congress?
The republican party isn’t going to get back in power, billions to acorn will see to that.
He's comfortably elite, and believes that federal government is a force for good.
So tell me, what is Mitch supposed to do, they had the 3 RINOS on TV, between them an IQ of 100 would have been generous, and they made it clear that they intended to F*** America regardless.
How sad.
Kick those members out of the party.
Prediction: When Porkulus fails to stimulate the economy, Zero will call for an even bigger stimulus package. (Zero has already said that FDR didn’t spend enough to break the Great Depression!) At least a few of our brain-damaged, Kool-aid guzzling Congresscritters will breathlessly support Zero’s request and file the Porkulus II (or Porkulus Maximus) bill. This I predict by the end of this year, if not sooner ... before the end of summer!
But then the crystal ball goes dark. All I can smell is sulphur ... and hot metal ... but no images come through.
Anybody know why that is ...?
Agree ... First remove their committee assignments, then oust them if that didn’t do it. No point in carrying the extra baggage nor siphoning money from the others.
I fear no one has the balls to actually do it.
What I want to know is, WHERE is the money coming from right now? Are they simply printing it, or in the case of electronic funds, just adding zeros to the balance? Or are they borrowing it from China or Saudi Arabia or someone? I’m afraid I don’t understand the mechanics of this cash transfusion.
