each Rep allowed one minute to speak.

[TornadoAlley3]

no, she was talking about the previous stimulus under Bush, said all you could afford with that one was earrings.

[Enterprise]

I hope the Republicans constantly remind their dear friends and colleagues of the promise by Bamster to allow 48 hours for viewing of all bills. The Dems really don’t want to make their boss look bad now do they?

The GOP is going to lie down like dogs...Gregg stood up to the President but McConnell and Cornyn can’t stand up to the 3Amigos...

They either get the damage this bill does or they are BSing us...The facts say BSing us.

[Califreak]

I love how republicans state facts and figures vs the democrats who cry about the urgency of it, how it needs to be passed right away to save America, how it’s all Bush’s fault, how if only the republicans would work with them they could pass this thing and save America, how America voted for hope & change & now the president needs our help because he’s too big to fail.

[Danae]

Someone has to just FORCE those three senators to change their votes, it is absolutely IMMORAL that 1) no one knows whats in the bill, 2) Americans have not gotten their 48 hours to READ it either off the Internet, and 3) This Bill is Immoral in and of itself, irresponsible, UN-AMERICAN!

Someone start burning copies of this satanic piece of legislation on the steps of congress!

I sent the following email to Fox News

The crash of flight 3407 is a tragedy, with 50 deaths, and my prayers are with the families of the victims.

It is in the hands of the NTSB now to determine how and why this aircraft went down. Your constant speculation about how, why and what happened is sensational journalism. There is just nothing more you can report that is actually BREAKING NEWS!

There is another disaster happening to this country that will affect all 300 + Million of us. That disaster is the pork laden spending bill being forced through the House and Senate with out proper debate. You are indeed ignoring it despite what Bill Hemmer has said and the little snippets of updates you are providing.

It is indeed true “if it bleeds, it leads”!

It is sad that you ignore the death of Our Republic.

[TornadoAlley3]

Durbin says because Dems rushed bank bailout Tarp etc, Pubbies should just do the same now.

[Miss Didi]

From Rush:

Remember This Quote? "You’re getting $600. What can you do with that? Not to be ungrateful or anything, but maybe it pays down a bill, but it doesn’t pay down every bill every month. Barack’s approach is that the short-term, quick fix-kinda stuff sounds good -- and it may even feel good that first month when you get that check, and then you go out and you buy a pair of earrings."

-- Michelle Obama on McCain's proposed $600 rebate (Washingon Times 07/11/08)

[Canedawg]

Thanks. Yep, that’s the clip i heard.

“You’re getting $600 - what can you do with that? Not to be ungrateful or anything, but maybe it pays down a bill, but it doesn’t pay down every bill every month,” she said.”

“Someone start burning copies of this satanic piece of legislation on the steps of congress!”

We would, if it didn’t take 3 days to print it all out! ; )

[ding_dong_daddy_from_dumas]

Who are the 3 dems (so far) who voted NAY on the procedure vote?

[Danae]

That twitt can just RESCHEDULE, she has a job HERE to do.

Tough Nancy, Taxpayers say YOU are the weakest link, GOODBYE.

[TornadoAlley3]

cable news channels get stuck on one topic and it is 24/7 with no other news.

[Sig Sauer P220]

I’ve got a new name for this spending bill. The “Bridge to Nowhere” bill.

[TornadoAlley3]

The Cliff to Hell

[central_va]

satanic piece of legislation -bump

[rightwingintelligentsia]

I don’t know where MO shops for earrings. And they try to cast her as “thrifty” (as opposed to that extravagant Sarah Palin) and “down to earth.”

[TornadoAlley3]

Durbin says Republican senators added extra money to the bill.
