I started in 2006. When will you start?

I started a bit before '06, I saw a trend developing and started writing Congresscriminals but I did a lot of good didn't I! Man, at least there's a lot of FReepers of like mind...

“best we can do” is have you removed from office

I’m truly ashamed that this man is my Senator. The arrogance and ignorance of this man defies words. And no, I didn’t vote for him in the primary or in the general.

MacSpecter serves as an example of why our experiment as a republic is flawed and failed.

He is a traitorous dog!

These past two “stimulus” packages are just the beginning of Obama & Pelosi’s socialist experiment and “stimulus” packages. (By the way, does ANYBODY know where the first one they passed back in the fall went to?) We aren’t likely to know where this one is going either. Too big of a hurry. Hurry. Hurry. Hurry. - or else Obama will get angry and bawl you out.

Did they only get two “Republicans”?

Don’t let the opposition and criticism of this bill die because it passed. That’s what they’re banking on, that’s why they’re in such a hurry, to quiet the revolution. Follow every piece, how it’s being spent, who it’s paying back.

If they say it was bipartisan, agree. There were TWO guilty Republicans, THREE HUNDRED GUILTY DEMOCRATS AND A GUILTY PRESIDENT who shoved this down our throats!!

But party shouldn’t tear us apart on a bill as important as this.

Make that THREE HUNDRED AND TWO GUILTY TRAITORS AND A GUILTY PRESIDENT who shoved this down our throats!!

It has nothing to do with what’s good for the Country. It has to do with Specter’s political calculation, and the direction PA has moved.

Problem with his plan to be reelected, this is the type of issue which will get him beat in the primary.

So far we have Specter, Collins and Snowe in the Yay column, right? They dont call them RHINOs for nothing. Anyone care to guess how much stimulus pork will be going to their respective districts??? We can only hope thier colleagues in the GOP and their own constituents pressure them enough to vote no prior to the vote next week.

Until we rid the republican party of moderate/rino control we are doomed to fail. BUT I think things are going to start turning around rather quickly here.

We'll see.

If that’s you best, you need to quit to let someone capable do the job.

The Republican voters in those states better start gearing up for primary challenges so we can replace these RINOs. It should not be very hard to unseat this handful as they were the ones who take credit for helping the Democrats pass Porkulus.

Reid has it right. Once the democrats get a couple of republicans to vote for this bill, history will not remember or care how many republicans voted for it. It will give the democrats the cover they need and it won’t be called a democract bill. Those three RINOs just killed the GOP.

You may as well retire now Arlen, since they are going to bury you in your election. Time to start a Rebel Republican movement.

I will send no money to Republican Party organizations as long as people like Specter can make a claim to that money.

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

***I remember a few years back hearing Hannity offer to help Lieberman campaign. Couldn’t believe it! Joe might be tough on WOT but that’s it. And some conservatives wanted him to become a Republican! Was sick to see him campaign with McCain. Everything is upside down and inside out. My brain functions on right and wrong and the few brain cells I have left say this bailout is wrong.***
