I cannot see voting for Specter again under any circumstance.
“best we can do” is so much rubbish.
You can fight to the end. Even if you lose, you make the other side take all of the responsibility for it.
Now, as it is, when this plan is implemented and fails to work its magic- the blame goes to the “Republicans”. I can hear it already, Obama et al piously stating that the plan wasn’t nearly big enough- 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!
