QUORUM CALL VOTE ON PORCULUS

Free Republic | 2/6/2009 | Danae

[Danae]

(sigh)

Time to bend over and grab the Vaseline.

[Danae]

Thats just a threat.

[silverleaf]

Barry needs to keep on lashing everyone because he thinks he discovered a management technique that works

[silverleaf]

you are a trusting soul

[acoulterfan]

They are only voting on the remainder of the accepted amendments. After they get all of the votes on each amendment they will give the names of which Senator and which way he voted. It gets exciting!

[acoulterfan]

And each side will have 2 minutes of debate before the vote on the next amendment.

[caphillbabe]

Maybe call the cloakrooms?

Senate:
202-224-6191 (Republican Cloakroom)
202-224-8601 (Republican Cloakroom recording)
202-225-4691 (Democratic Cloakroom)
202-224-8541 (Democratic Cloakroom recording)

[Danae]

For an amendment vote I think. this isn’t for Porkulus in full yet.

I could be wrong though

[acoulterfan]

I have to go out to dinner now and am not happy I am going to miss this!!

[Danae]

I did, I honestly feel sorry for the Staffers, the senators are on the floor.

[rightinthemiddle]

The Democrats don’t care about the country. This bill is important to them because it guarantees their re-elections.

More government dependents, more Democrat votes.

This bill is about nothing but power for the Socialists.

Three Republican traitors have guaranteed the minority status of their party, perhaps forever.

[glock rocks]

Roll is being called on an amendment to:

Transfer sexual disease prevention & smoking cessation program funds to FDIC foreclosure programs

How about they transfer the planned give-aways to ACORN, to the SBA for low interest loans to create the wealth to help pull us out of the abyss?

Hell, how about a tax break to boost commerce.

I know, I'm dreaming.

[PhiKapMom]

I don’t think they need Snowe and the way they talked tonight not sure the RATs have Snowe’s support. Sounds like this is all Collins/Specter.

[originalbuckeye]

She sounded tired. I basically told her what was in my e-mail (post 28 on this thread). She thanked me for my call. That's all. I knew she wasn't responsible for the 3 traitors to Conservatism and the well being of the American people. I absolutely believe these 3 have sold out the hard-working people of this wonderful country. Not to mention the Military.

[tsomer]

Recall an old proverb:

Give a man a fish,he'll eat for a day.

But,

hold hearings on a proposal that funding be provided to impanel a committee to investigate the feasibility of the recommendation that a separate, non-partisan study group be formed to comprehensively investigate the myriad proposals now before the legislature, that, by means of a series of town hall meetings for benefit of the general public, along with closed discussions with designated, but disinterested technical advisory parties,

those aforesaid proposals be exhaustively studied, weighed as to their economic, environmental and societal benefits, as well as their suitability in address of the purpose to which they were proposed... So that a duly representative body of non-partisan community participants--representative of the muti-various religious, youth, educational and law enforcement officials-- ensuring the widest input from the varied constituent communities are allowed to give their voice in shaping an all encompassing, non-discriminatory , and unanimous decision as to the most all-inclusive,exploitative and environmentally responsible to address the current inequities of fish distribution and outline steps needed to redress said inequities to ensure equal access to fish of all desiring to obtain fish as a source of foodstuffs as part of a healthy, balanced, uncontaminated diet.....

And you'll eat steak.

For years to come.

[silverleaf]

tax cuts reduced :-(

any lower and folks would probably sooner have McDonalds gift cards for a Happy Meal

[parksstp]

How do we fix this though?

I’m looking at CNN Election totals and PA maps from 2000, 2004, 2006, and 2008.

Bush kept is close because he was able to beat Gore and Kerry in Chester and Berks Counties, run about even in Bucks and Montgomery, and was able to offset the losses he suffered in Delaware and Philadelphia, with the central counties, York, Adams, Lancaster, etc. In fact, had Bush carried the western counties McCain got in 2008, Bush would have won PA in 2004.

However, the map for 2006 and 2008 is both bleak. Casey and Obama took every major suburban county around Philadelphia by 20+ points. McCain’s marginal loss was smaller than Santorum’s only because he carried the western counties outside Pittsburgh and Erie.

The GOP needs somebody who can carry (by at least 8-10%) Berks and Lehigh Counties and get the other Phili counties into respectable margins. Is there a GOP conservative in PA who can realistically do this?

[originalbuckeye]

Maybe THEY will eat steak, but we certainly won’t!

[Miss Didi]

Ah, yes to gloat. Funny how President Doom & Gloom stomped his feet today about the catastrophe, misery and soup lines that await us all while he and his bride are off to the Kennedy Center tonight for their “date night.”

[MountainWoman]

hey, carl cameron said he doesn’t believe any kind of “special treatment” was given to either collins or specter (yeah right) but nothing has been determined yet...
