Per the crawl this morning on CNN, Sen. Corker has put a Hold on Porkuls, stating that he wants a chance to read it before voting. Bill has reportedly swollen from 800 to 1,500 pages as Dems keep putting-back everything the Senate removed.
Saw crawl as I was watching news about the ColganAir crash at 5:00AM.
I would like to think he actually wants to read it, but given his antics on the bank bailout last fall, this is more likely Builder Bob grandstanding (again) for a little spotlight time...
Which is exactly why they’ll push it through today.
...I love the smell of sarcasm in the morning...
As I recall, the three Prostitutes said they’d not sign along unless it was made smaller and certain parts of the bill were dropped. They were. Now it’s all being put back; so will our 3 Hookers announce they will not sign after all???
I made a joke the other day about everybody having to carry around a little book like Chairman Mao used to required and darned if the next day or two I didn’t read about some little book of obamaisms.
I think we should start a petition that they allow the public to read the whole bill and not vote until they have disclosed the package we are paying for!!!
They had the Obama network during the elections.....lets open it up with this outrageous bill and reveal all its projects!!!!
...Yea, they’re all suspect, but, I always like to here those words, “WAIT A MINUTE!”...
Even Greta was telling Newt last night that she thought it was very arrogant of Barry to compare himself to Abe Lincoln after three weeks in the White House.
I do too, but with a different pronoun.
I thought Clinton was a narcissist, but I think Barry has him beat.
The opportunity for the filibuster evaporated with the Snow-Collins-Specter defection. There is no such opportunity for the vote on the final bill.
What are We The People going to do if it passes?
Its already been shown for the most part it will not make any improvement in the job market anytime soon and I personally do not want my children and their children paying for this.
All the more reason to remove Obama, its time to put up or shut up about him even being legally eligible to sign this bill.
Or have we forgotten?
And we need to protect those that are fighting to expose the fraud in the Whitehouse, like Orly Taitz.
Overall our efforts are too soft, we are not pushing the boundary of free speech. We must acknowledge the fact that we must cross the line.
Could this possibly be the same guy people around here were calling a RINO POS TRAITOR for voting, “Aye” on the cloture vote?
Don’t you realize how important that $4.5 Billion (With a Capital ‘B’!) dollars for ACOORN’s Capital Infrastructure is???
I mean, the Democratic Party NEEDS that money, and they need it NOW! Just think how many generations of patronage they can buy with that!!
Limos and gold-plated bathrooms for community organizers cost a LOT of money, doncha know!
Prospects are much better for “turning” some Dems from Red states.
{Pryor, Lincoln, Tester, Baucus, Dorgan, Nelson, Nelson, and others}
By leaps and bounds. It's all about being able to stand in front of the presidential podium - nothing more. Because there is nothing to more to the man
And we'll be paying for this “Pig” for decades!
He may just be jealous that Snowe and Specter are getting more pork. Tennessee didn’t get a lot of junk from the stimulus - Maybe Reid and Pelosi will offer him a few billion for the state to NOT read it!
True and I'll be the first to stand up an applaud my Senator if those are indeed his motivations. However, after thirty some odd years of following politics I've become very cynical, particularly with Senators. I watch what they do, not what they say....and that goes double for Builder Bob....
