...Thune was not alone in voting "no." A Democrat — *gasp* — and fellow South Dakota Senator Tim Johnson — also voted "no," probably for the same reason Thune voted "no" which was because it was going to kill 3,000-5,000 jobs in their state, which is simple math.

Democrat Senator Tim Johnson failed to convince Hussein & Company to take out harmful provisions that will cost South Dakotans jobs.

Republicans, this is a great issue the next time TJ is up for re-election.

Also, subtract 3,000 to 5,000 jobs from Hussein's "stimulus" crap.

You will have to subtract a lot more than that before this hits the bottom. I think we are still free falling and can not see, hear, feel or know where the bottom is.

You can add 200,000 to 350,000 jobs the Chrysler screw job is going to cost all the states.

The Republican party is no threat to Zero’s agenda: we have NO power at all.

Zero’s only effective opposition comes from the few semi-sane Rats.

God help us all.

“comprehensive” is not in Bambi’s lexicon. He does like the word “piecemeal” however

The credit card business is a major employer in SD and this legislation will just be another nail in our economic coffin. I’m waiting for the other shoe to drop when cap and trade boosts our electric rates 50% and makes farming impossible.
