So now, George W. Bush and Henry Paulson are Democrats?
Almost. The bill originated in the democratic controlled house and senste, not in the white house. I say almost because Bush signed it.
Jim Jones fed his people Kool Aid, Obama is feeding the country poisoned pork with no way to pay for it. What is happening will be far worse than doing nothing.

If there were Republicans that voted for this bill, and conservatives threaten to vote them out of office, wont there be a greater chance of their seats being filled with democrats? Yes. The far leftist I work with was gleefully enjoying this prospect.

By a vote of 61-36, the Senate voted to cut off debate, setting up a likely vote on final passage Tuesday. It's time for the "final passage" alright. ;-(
God Bless America,
Land that I love.
Stand beside her, and guide her
Thru the night with a light from above.
From the mountains, to the prairies,
To the oceans, white with foam
God bless America, My home sweet home.

61? Don’t they need 61? If they only go 600 could it be blocked or fillibustered?

So if the stimulus bill is approx ~$800 Billion for 4 Million jobs.
That’s $200,000 per job.

Does Michael Steele fully support the “independence streak” of the three Republican RINOs who voted for this, or does Michael Steele fully support the other side, the conservative side, who still fights for the principles that they believe in on all of the issues? Truly “big tent Republicanism” for always, or truly conservative for always?

" but the CBO is scheduled to score the thing early this week. If they come out with their numbers and they are ugly maybe it could help. On second thought, probably too late. Didn'tthey already come out with it?

I’ve been trying to contact Corker’s office for the past 30 minutes and all I get is a busy signal. I don’t have FAX. How can I contact him?

OK, I just got Corker's office at 202-224-3344 and they said he's voting against it. I affirmed that strongly and then suggested that he and the other anti-Stimulus senators go and
jump Sen. Alen Specter.
This was followed by a shocked silence.
Then I said, "I mean that in the nonviolent sense, son."

If the admin is pointing to a poll, they probably paid for it. Or took it only in CHicago.

Here’s what needs to be done. Conservatives all across the country, from ALL STATES, should send money to Snowe, Collins, and Specter’s opposition in the primaries. Hollywood does this all the time-they contributed more to Frankenstein’s campaign than anybody else. They always get easy victories-it’s time to change that.

then not one red cent to any of them!
