Go here:

They expect to run unopposed next election cycle, or possibly to play switchie (to Demo).
Sean H. just ripped into Specter over the bill. All he could do was hem and haw about how this is the better of two evils. What spineless wimp.
Then again, they can plant windmills on that nice lump of rock that is Acadia National Park, right? Cha-ching! REVENUE STREAM. And they can build big, beautiful WPA-type infrastructure project bridges over all those cute inlets and such, right? Cha-ching! MORE REVENUE STREAMS! And they can nationalize Lobster Gram, right? Cha-ching! ANOTHER REVENUE STREAM! And with all that money for education, why . . . think of all the schools and teachers and computers and. . . . EVEN MORE REVENUE STREAMS; no, make that TORRENTS OF REVENUE; no, make that RAGING RIVERS OF REVENUE!
Maine? HERE WE COME!

Give it a year and Bar Harbor will look like Erie, only without the mall, shuttered factories, and buildings over three stories tall.
Pinging Chairman Steele,
GET THESE ROGUE AGENTS OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IN LINE, DO IT NOW..... or lose my limited support of the gop forever....and forever is forever!!!!
She just stated that the us chamber of commerce is now for the bill.
Wow, please tell me why the GOP votes for every business issue?
Comrades, unite.
Btw, when is the last time we’ve had a fight on the House or Senate floor lol.
Did anyone rise up and tell Collins that the CBO has said this stimulus will do more HARM than good?
Did anyone tell this woman that the CBO also says the recession will end in late 2009 IF THEY DON’T DO ANYTHING?!?
This really is crazy, folks. Loony Tunes. I feel like I’m watching a horrible comedy, that none of this stupidity can really be happening.
George W. Bush increased discretionary spending by a trillion dollars over 8 years. This LAMEBRAIN President, with a complicit, suckup Congress, is about to do the same thing within 4 weeks of being in office.
Makes Bush look like a piker.
I guarantee you, after this passes, Collins will be on the morning news shows and on Letterman making the liberal media rounds. Oh, and she’ll probably get VIP treatment at D.C.’s finest eateries too. Sickening.
I’m listening to Cspan,,,,please tell me I misheard this....did I hear Warner: Aye???
RINO PIG
