“For want of a horseshoe nail the kingdom was lost.”
We could have saved the USA from BO’s Socialism had George Bush and the lemmings in PA not rescued that worthless weasel, Specter, when Toomey had a good shot at defeating him. Elections have consequences. George Bush’s legacy turned a bit rancid last night.

” “But for them we would not be here,” Reid said, yielding the floor to the Gang of Four to detail the agreement. “
And therein lies the rub. Had these two or three RINO jerks not caved, this travesty could have been slowed or stopped.
At minimum, they should switch their party affiliation to the DhimmiRats.
Ridiculous. Sad, but ridiculous.

The thing that troubles me is, we can throw sphinter out, but the empty suit Casey Jr would then be the senior senator from Pa.
Pennsylvania must get rid of them both.

Another thanks from the Bush/RNC group, Tomey had a real chance to beat this guy in the Republican primary, but he was through under the bus, just for party unity.

Hannity went nuts on his radio show about this clown yesterday...AS(S)’s office called and complained about not having an opportunity to set the record straight which they said they could do...MONDAY! Hannity was non plussed and continued he would campaign against any RHINO who signed onto this bill. It was great radio the only problem being by the time these POSs run, the fairness doctrine will be the law of the land and Hannity will be back building homes in part due to gutless wonders like AS(s)and the moose from Maine.

Pennsylvania must get rid of them both.PA's got the same problem NYS does: The major metro areas. Our red bits, of which there are still many, should secede from our respective states to form a new one. And leave the metro areas to fend for themselves.

If Specter thinks the stimulus is the best they can do, he is obviously too stupid to be in the Senate. This is just another massive dose of the poison that is killing us.

“they were forced by the Republicans to accept a lot less (only $780 B!!) when at least a trillion was necessary.”
Sorry, the bill as it stood last night when the RINOs signed on was 827 billion. That is more that the House bill that got not a single R vote, and 11 D no votes.
The RATS also plan on passing another bank porkulus, and a housing porkulus, in the next couple weeks.
The next round is expected to add another 400 billion or so!

If this is their best; they are absolutely worthless Representives and they should resign. . .and since they will not; they should be 're-called'; Impeached; and/or declared mentally unfit for Office.
America, being 'sold down the river' by these poor excuses for Leadership, cannot stand!

“Moderates” ALWAYS put their own egos before the country, consistently and firmly projecting themselves as “heroes” whenever good compromises with evil.

Makes you almost wish that Chrissy Mathews had run against him and thrashed him just because of this kind of behavior.

Bush is/was Rino SCUM as well. Why does anyone even continue to think he was conservative in any way?
He destroyed the GOP, on purpose.

Not sure Bush destroyed the GOP but he sure didn’t do it any favors with his, “compassionate conservatism” b.s.
He is NO conservative a poser is more apt.

All he had to do was say “no.”
There was no pressure...what did he think Obama and the Democrats were going to do? Drop the bill completely? Pass it anyway?
Throw fits?
It makes no sense.
So, we must assume he supported the bill. Period. With every bit of Socialist Pork it contains.
Moderates are nothing but Enablers.

Let’s see if Hannity stands by his promise to support anyone who runs against Specter if he votes for this.

“Kennedy is expected to return, so currently, they only need 2”
I will not attempt to judge Sen. Kennedy’s soul, but I will say this. He professes to being Catholic, if anyone should be reflecting upon their mortality, it is he and if he is to seek atonement for his worldly acts .... well he doesn’t have much time. I pray for his peace and if it is required, his redemption.
