Absofrickinlutely correct!
Which is a big part of why I continue to donate to and support Free Republic. That support is undoubtedly one of the very best ways to give the finger to our corrupt political hacks in Washington.
Feels good.

I would like to point out that even Republicans who did not vote for this monstrous swindle have in fact betrayed the nation for the last eight years. Please never forget the attempts by George W. and the upper echelon of the current Republican Party to force amnesty and a “path to citizenship” for millions of illegal aliens on the American people.
They all knew that amnesty would change this Republic forever and that the changes would not benefit American citizens. We the people shut down the phones in the Senate and forced Bush et al to back down. They have gone undercover, but their goal remains unchanged.
They voted no on the stimulus give away, but they can not be trusted. McCain and Lindsay Graham were two Republican turncoats who pushed hardest for amnesty. Graham spoke to LaRaza and called every American who did not favor amnesty bigots.
Yesterday that creep was on TV ranting against the stimulus package. McCain is agaist it too. They are trying for rehabilitation. I also saw a Democrat, a woman legislator, who chose to criticize McCain and Graham for balking at the give away of tax dollars.
I confess, I don’t trust politicians. My thought when I saw this woman singling out Graham and McCain of all the Republicans who won’t sign on to Obama’s plan, was that she was giving them cover. They both have to run for reelection. Like all politicians they know that voters have short memories.
Lindsay’s histrionics on the floor yesterday are certainly intended to impress voters in South Carolina that he is a stand up guy. He is not. He is a sleazy, greasy, dishonest politician. I really hope that South Carolina voters remember how he told LaRaza that they were all bigots.
I believe our only hope at this point is to convince a few Democrat Senators to go along with voting against cloture. Mary Landrieu and Diane Feinstein are possibilities.
This criminal theft our our money and our rights will not be stopped by sending “republicans” to Washington. Millions of armed citizens—patriots—are going to have to march on Washington, throw out 535 + 2 + 9 and begin again. Until that day arrives, we can uselessly sit and write sad posts and comments for the next 4 years...or until all conservative sites are banned “for the greater good.” But it will take a second American revolution to regain our nation and our rights.
She beckons us over to her, placing her hands upon our shoulders,
And breaks into an uncontrollable sob crying:
“Oh where art my Heros?
Where art my Sons of Liberty?
Why have they forsaken me?
What have I done to be left alone,
abandoned, ravished, and dishonored?
Lady Liberty trained many of her sons to protect her from the evil of communism. Those of us who answered her calling learned those lessons well. She asked us to take an Oath to forever more protect this great land, that Oath has no expiration date.
The Land Of Liberty, Justice, and Freedom for all has been kidnapped. Traitors of all sorts and creeds hold the killing knife to her throat, as they rape and destroy all that she holds dear…
Fellow Patriots, the system has been usurped. Democracy has reached that fatal plateau where the evil of ignorance, greed, and power seeking has destroyed it’s value to a Democratic Republic.
Allegiance to that Oath will soon demand a return to it’s principles. May God, and Lady liberty forgive us for allowing that evil to conquer this Land. May God give us the strength to do what is necessary to correct this falling…
Fight Dammit!
Hoo Wee... 800 billion is 800,000 MILLION...

Since the Democrats are apparently monolithic in their socialism and thus already beyond the pale, that is as good a litmus test as one will ever need, and I agree with it without hesitation. There isn't any need to define anything down, play the games of situational ethics, or endure any more political camouflage. Up or down, on or off, go or no-go.

I would be happy to sign a petition along with all freepers, and send it to senators who are expected to vote yes.
The democrats that vote for it are also traitors, and need to be removed from office the next time up.
Can our “conservative” Republican senate leadership not do something to prevent “our side” from voting with the enemy?
Or is Mitch McConnell just unwilling to force unanimity?
Amen, Jim! AMEN!
What Hugo and Pelosi have learned is they can win and do so easily, a couple of republicans can be bought and stay bought. I do see inflation, terrorist attacks without reprisal and a economy that is going to tank. I don't know how to really prepare for what is coming.
The Obama team is running non-stop ads here in Columbus, Ohio, imploring Voinovich to vote for the stimulus package. The ad is asking voters to call his office and tell them they support the stimulus. The ad ends with a woman’s voice saying, “Senator Voinovich, don’t let us down.” ( LOL, when has Voinovich ever let a Democrat down?)
The only thing that will save us is a full blown world wide depression.
Every stimulus bill will only make it worse.
FDR #2!
Amen. We are at the cross roads & that’s what needs to be made clear. That’s what our letters to editors need to refute. On the newscrawl I’m seeing now it says: Obama and Senate Republicans bicker over stimulus. We need to make it clear to evey media: This is a fight for the Republic! This is not “bickering.” This is not a sports match — your team wins, my team wins. This is a fight for freedom, Liberty and the American way.
