You must lop before you lob.
zerO and Rahm Emmnuel figured out they don’t need to deal with McConnell
Just find and pick off 3 weak-kneed RINOs
It only cost them about $65 billion to buy all three
The GOP is dead in the Senate
(this from Dick Morris)
Yep, I agree. When and where?
Quorum call means they don’t have enough senators on the floor to do any business. It is a call for them to come to the floor. I am saying it will be great if Reed can’t get anyone to come back tonight. I can dream, right?
its symptomatic of the fact that regular people like us are FLOODING the phone lines and email boxes of the asses who are trying to rape us.
They KNOW we do NOT want this, an majority of America does NOT want this, and the Senate KNOWS deep down that anyone voting yes for this has a BULLS EYE on their foreheads when it comes to re-election.
Rightly so.
yes...he is my senator and i want him OUT like YESTERDAY!!!!
Morris is right.
Besides, he’s still pushing for a ANOTHER “stimulus” (read BAILOUT) bill, despite his grandstanding on pork spending in this one, instead of doing the right thing and just voting NO to government meddling in the private sector to begin with.
As Specter talked..he kept sayingit was a bad bill..and he looked bad..and talked about his heartburn...and then said he would vote for it because obama(or his advisors) told him things that showed they needed the bill now.
I don’t know what went on behind closed doors..was he bribed or blackmailed..but he surely didn’t look like he wanted to vote for it.
Unfortunately, the courts have ruled that Senators (Federal Elected Officials) cannot be subject to state recall efforts, neither of which ME or PA have one.
Now’s the time to start finding replacements. Not 2010, 2012, or 2014.
Who’s running against Spector? And is this person going to able to effectively communicate conservative principles so that they don’t get blown out by 15-20 points? I don’t know if Ed Rendell is running or not but the seat will be hard to keep (R) either way.
Who’s going to run in ME? What name recognition is there?
We can talk all day about RINO’s and liberals sending the country up the creek, but if we aren’t prepared to do battle when the elections come around, what’s the point?
Case in point. 2010, Maryland’s Governor is rated the worst in the country. Yet, unless Bob Ehrlich runs, there’s a 90% chance O’Malley will be reelected. And Babs is up for Senate reelection against who, EJ Pipkin? I don’t suspect Steele will run for office now, not after two years because turning around the sinking GOP ship will take years and might reflect negatively were he to leave before making any progress.
That was a REAL filibuster, not the "lite" version we have today where the majority leader figures the bill won't be considered until there are 60 votes secured as necessary for cloture to stop a real filibuster. None of them has the fortitude to hold the floor in the time honored fashion.
the 2 republican traitors sold out for a reduction of about $65 Billion
which after their vote will either be restored in committee after the vote, or passed as a seperate teeny weeny tiny bill
The only thing the government is stimulating with this bill is itself. There’s a word for that.
Particularly disgusting considering the ENTIRE GOP CAUCUS in the House was able to make a stand AGAINST THE BIGGEST THEFT OF TAXPAYER MONEY IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD.
They will pay a price, when they least expect it.
I would suggest grabbing the vaseline BEFORE you bend over
Spectre is senile
Dick Morris slipped up and said that on national TV
