I have to agree with you there, it’sthe only hope we have left. And hopefully, they can’t spend all of itin that time. Much of this ‘funding’ may be set up in increments, maybe more in DC will come to their senses before every inch of it is implmeneted. Or, if not, the first order of business will be to scrap it wfter the 2010 elections. sharpening my pitchfork.

“It’s done.”
Well I guess this is what the swine flu charade was meant to distract us from...
...I guess it worked.

[Only 17 Democrats in the House and three in the Senate voted against it, as did Sen. Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania, who announced Tuesday that he would leave the Republican Party.]
Not a single Republican voted for this budget, but it had bipartisan opposition.
Even Specter voted nay. Which other Democrats voted against it? Bayh and who else?

Money, get away.
Get a good job with good pay and youre okay.
Money, it’s a gas.
Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash.

A great day for the King and his jesters, A very sad day for the United States of America. Obama will not be happy until the government owns everything and every single citizen is dependent on government for all aspects of life. The truly sad thing about this is that 43% of the citizens go willingly into the pit of despair.

“WOOHOO!! This is a victory of sorts for our side. I think perhaps the Tea Parties have brought our pubbies to their senses.
Not even Collins, Snowe and the predictable rinos voted for this Bluebeard Budget of Obamas....LOL!!”
I wonder though,if they didn’t vote for it only because they KNEW it would pass without them; and they could still appear to be Republicans?
To: Bokababe
This is terrible. How are we supposed to EVER have a strong dollar after growing our debt exponentially? Then again.... the same could be asked about printing money like it was newsprint. This nation needs help and saving.

Shoooooomie and the Dems are afraid to pull the trigger because they know that they will take the heat for destroying the US health care system. The GOP is out on the sidelines so the whole rotting mess will end up in Democrat laps (where it belongs).

Collins and Snowe need to be shown the door. They are not conservatives. They are RINO and we should deny them access to our caucus. Kick ‘em out! We cannot depend on them to fashion a majority so why not clear the decks and reorganize.
