QUORUM CALL VOTE ON PORCULUS

(sigh)

Time to bend over and grab the Vaseline.

I fear for the union. This stimulus plan will only bring closer the insolvency of America. Once Federal pensions, Medicare, and Social Security are bankrupt there will be little glue holding the county together. Police, firefighters, garbage workers, water system workers may quit because there is no money to pay them. Who would want to stay in the Union with civil unrest just to pay high taxes and suffer hyperinflation caused by the inflationary actions of the government in the past? Better to amputate the diseased limbs (basically the East and West coasts) to let the more viable sections of the old Union survive and foster liberty for those who appreciate its benefits.
Obama had visions of himself as Lincoln and he may yet get to realize what Lincoln’s presidency was like,

Why oh why does Specter to this to the Republicans time after time? Positively disgusting.

By 2010 people won’t be voting by party-
they’ll be voting for whoever can fix the economy, which will be in the crapper a lot worse than now

that means they’ll vote for “change” - again

[Girlene]

LOL. You are cracking me up. :-)

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

Have a few cocktails, enjoy your meal and take home a doggie bag as tomorrow we'll all be waiting on line for bread. ;)

That’a keeper! Wonder what they are going to find in the compromise. On Hot Air they are reporting that the RATs are putting the cuts back in the bill which is going to raise the pricetag even more.

Hope it bits Collins and Specter really hard or that fat pig crushes them! :)

Vitter proposed an amendment that no funds go to Acorn. I don’t know if they have voted on it or what happened.

[Taffini]

he looks out of it, like he doesn’t know where he is

Specter is up in 2010

Time for Specter's career to give up the ghost. Michael Steele should draft Swann, Bettis, or any other retired Steeler.

Little Lindsey Grahamnesty talking now to Greta about his two friends voting for this bad bill. This is not change we can believe in—he says. If the President thinks he won, this is very disappointing.

[Sandy]

Everyone remember, the quorum vote is not the final vote, it is a vote to move the bill to a vote. Even if the quorum passes, it may still have a chance of being killed.

That's not what a quorum call is about. It just means the Senators are being summoned for roll call. If a quorum (i.e., 50%) of the Senate doesn't show up, someone can then motion for adjournment. It's a stall tactic.

[Shortstop7]

this lady on pushing the pork now rather reminds me of Miss Piggy.

[Sandy]

Thought it was just a roll call...

You're right.

I hear they got tax free smokes there!

[Miss Didi]

Lindsey says the next step is that they sit down with Grandma Pelosi and—good luck. It's not a stimulus bill but a spending bill—says he.

[Miss Didi]

Rush calls her “Baby Face Landrieu.”

[hyperconservative]

if we even have elections in 2010...
