Democrats are poised to do for America what they did for California.
Call, email and fax tomorrow to stall this travesty.
Then send tea bags to Washingon! The new Taxpayer Tea Party!
We are so fuu.....screwed!
It's going to be interesting to see how this pans out. Will this go down in history as the day the Pubbies stood up to Socialism? I hope so. I don't think the party can hold together with anything less.
Yep. That's one of the reasons the Democrats want as many GOP votes for this crap as possible: to give the "blue dogs" some top cover when they have to defend their "in favor" vote to their "red district" voters.
E-VERIFY....Stimulus Jobs to Americans or Jobs to Illegal Aliens

....”Whatever the Rules Committee does, there is likely to be some kind of vote on whether to allow governments and businesses getting the trillion dollars of stimulus money to hire illegal aliens.
There may be a point of order on the floor to strip the requirement to use E-Verify to keep illegals out of the jobs. There may be an amendment to do that. Or if the Rules already stripped E-Verify, there may be an amendment to put E-Verify back in.
Your job is to let your own Representative know that his/her constituents expect this bill to explicitly require E-Verify to make sure all new jobs go to Americans and legal immigrants already here.”....
Wait a minute!
Another f_ckin’ stimulus?
“The House is expected to approve today an $825 billion economic stimulus package”
.
Isn’t it supposed to contain some stimulus first?
Assuming because the Democrat Congress ignored the public out-cry against the $700 billion Bail-out, this too will pass
92.8% Employment could be a great place to start given proper tax cuts, but now Mr. Øbama’s faulty economic plan is going to be implemented and that number dropping will leave him a 1 term novelty, more troubled than Carter

Rep. Tim Walz, D, MN fits that well
Is the ACORN money going direct or can we compete for it?
Bush needed to twist the arms of repubs the second time because even though the dems held Congress re-election time was near and those dems in conservative districts needed cover. In short the dems are playing the repubs like a beautifully hand crafted Stradivarius.
re: I don’t think the party can hold together with anything less.
I’m not certain there’s anything that can be done to save “the party.” This vote will be a good indication of how close we are to seeing the party tossed into the dust bin of history.
The party has reached the point where it serves absolutely no purpose whatsoever. We are probably at point where that can be turned around, but I fear we are standing at the point of no return. The party can’t even nominate a serious candidate for President.
The only way any message will be sent is for every Republican to vote against this travesty with the explanation that America is headed in the wrong direction and a vote for the stimulus is a vote to continue in that wrong direction.
The worst part of all this to me is that we are going to have to sit by for several years and watch the end slowly consume us. I fear we know where it’s going and it’s going there in slow motion.
Maybe the GOP and Blue Dogs can’t stop it, but they could stand against it (as if they grew a pair).
LOL. I have no idea!! This whole meeting was to woo and warn Rep. they had a lot to lose. Obama thinks he can talk his opposition into submission to his will. For goodness sake, Obama thinks he can just talk to Ahmajinidad and convince him to drop that goofy Nuke program. ” The time for talk is over. Take their money from their pockets and give it to the Commisar. He’ll know how it should be spent, Comrade.”- David Obey
But obviously, it's more than that per taxpayer since there's not that many taxpayers. And also it will only come out of the pockets of the next generation to pay the bonds.

Truth is, we have zero power in the Senate as well.
