Sen. Richard Burr (R-NC) just said in a radio interview that only two “Republican” Senators are still actively attempting to provide the Democrats “bipartisan” cover for their nearly $1,000,000,000,000.00 borrow-and-spend bill.
Based on what I’ve been hearing from around the Hill, and Roll Call’s report that Sen. Collins (R-ME) was having misgivings about betraying her party and constituents, those two are (definitely) Arlen Specter (PA) and (most likely) Olympia Snowe (ME).
In the radio interview, Burr said nobody knows if the vote, initially planned for 7pm, will actually happen tonight (translation: despite his typically hotheaded rhetoric, Harry Reid lacks the votes to give himself “bipartisan” cover and therefore to make this bill’s passage politically worthwhile), and that ” out of every 10 calls coming in about the [so-called] stimulus, 9.9 of them are against the bill.”
Keep calling Senators Specter, Snowe, and Collins at 202-224-3121. Tell them that if this trillion dollar borrow-and-spend-on-pork plan is going to pass, it needs to do so as a Democrat-only measure.
The Democrats campaigned on a platform of unadulterated liberalism, which they pledged to implement if they gained enough seats in both houses to do so. They have the votes to pass this and other policies that are doomed to fail once implemented; the Republicans’ job is simply to propose principled alternatives, and to make Democrats own their own proposals on a party-line basis.
Call Senators Specter, Snowe, and Collins at 202-224-3121. Tell them not to help the Democrats drag this country’s economy into the gutter.
Call call call.

I like Lieberman better than McCain...I don't agree with him on much but I think he has more character than most members of congress...certainly more than McCain!
“Imagine if McCain had chosen Lieberman as his running mate
and Sarah had remained in Alaska completely unknown...”
-
In such a scenario McCain would have gotten even fewer votes.
What are you?
Some kind of maroon?
“...No Pork At All...”

You just ain’t right.
They don’t care. You have to provide a SSN for each child when you file.
Got through, to everyone, on the list of softies, except Specter. His line, is really busy. I’m in Ca. so I even called, and got through, to Feinstein. Specter, we’re breathing down, your neck...God, I can’t him, it hurts just to have to call, the bas....
Thanks. Just emailed all of them.
I tried all day yesterday to call Sen. Scottish Law, but it was busy. Today, I got through to voice mail telling me the voice mail box is full.
He is a eunuch.
I have absolutely HAD IT with Specter. He is NOT getting my vote.
What's wrong with the people in Maine. NH. Vermont? Are they so far removed (geographically) with the rest of the country that they don't know what's going on in the real world?
Reid said they are flying Kennedy in so he could vote. I pray that Ted will be OK. But Reid is praying the Ted will vote before he kicks the bucket. Reid is so desperate to pass this porky-pig bill. He is willing to risk the live of Ted. Reid is evil.
‘If we say before the actual vote that we think Voinovich will betray Republicans, Voinovich has less to lose by doing so. I’m still hearing that Voinovich and Martinez are not going to back the barely pared-down verison of the stimulus package. Have hope. ‘
Remember that when the final vote is done.
Full agreement. I don’t trust Crying George Voinovich any father than I can throw him.
