Rep. Barney Frank, chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, is shown here in early February 2009 speaking about the Treasury Department's financial bailout bill. On Feb. 25, 2009, he said that the omnibus spending bill that passed that day was merely "a first step" in repairing President George W. Bu [cut]

"That's what happens when you have an election and one side wins and the other side loses."

Too bad the Republicans never get this. Bush should have cleaned house when he was elected the first time. Instead, he let most of the Democrats stay and even added more as time went on.

For example: Paulson (D-Goldman Sachs), and his assistant, who apparently wrote the TARP bailout, Geithner (D-Tax Evasion).

“Democrats use omnibus to gut Bush policies”

May they be thrown under that same omnibus...

"That's what happens when you have an election and one side wins and the other side loses."

That sure sounds "bipartisan" to me!

Can you imagine how Dubya or leading GOP Congressmen would have been crucified by the MSM if they had tried to get away with statements like that after winning elections?

Good thing we had almost two days to read and react to this bill before it was passed in the House.

[MurrietaMadman]

Everything for the Party. Nothing outside the Party.

You better back this Omnibus over America again, Senator. I think I just seen her start to get up.

Democrats, freed from former President George W. Bush's veto threats...

I don't mean to be rude or anything, but just what, exactly, did President Bush ever veto?

[CardCarryingMember.VastRightWC]

When he threatened a veto, they usually didn’t force him to keep his promise.

“... eliminating D.C. school vouchers...”
That is a direct contradiction of Obama’s Tuesday Speech & the promises there-in.
If Senator Reid and his cronies aren’t bright enough to defend the DC Charter schools, we’ll soon see in our President has a backbone, as well as a Veto Pen.

E.H.C.

He vetoed a few things. For one, a bill expanding funding for unethical stem cell research; he vetoed it twice in the last two years.

Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven; And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground. Genesis 19;24,25.

I'm thinking that once "Hate Crimes" legislation passes, many of us who refuse to shut up about our beliefs will be arrested and sent to "Sensitivity Training Re-education Camps" for unrepentant "homophobes".

Here's a typical photo of a Sensitivity Training workshop:

OK, I lied. The actual caption was: "Men in loincloths jostle each other during a mud festival at Mimusubi shrine in Yotsukaido, east of Tokyo. Participants took part in the ritual held in the muddy rice paddy to wish for good harvest and health for babies. (Yuriko Nakao/Reuters)" ..... Hmmm. "Men In Loincloths". Kind of sits at the opposite end of the testosterone spectrum from "Men In Black".

eliminating D.C. school vouchers

Schadenfreude for the kids of Obama voters being stuck in the public school pit.

But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: ...Matt. 10:23.

That is a direct contradiction of Obama’s Tuesday Speech & the promises there-in.

The only promises BO will keep are raising taxes, gutting the military, and spending money.

If Senator Reid and his cronies aren’t bright enough to defend the DC Charter schools, we’ll soon see in our President has a backbone, as well as a Veto Pen.

You can't be serious.

I can’t even look at him anymore, what a vile human being.....

I hate these arrogant, childish, spiteful democrats.
There, I said it. Come and get me.
