Thanks to Irish Pennant.
Thanks Arlen, Susan, and Olympia, for selling America, and freedom down the sewer.
This was reported on CNN new as a “done deal”. Fox was reporting on the latest update of the “octuplets story” at the time...
When all else fails...
Thanks to Irish Pennant.
They have to know we are so angry we are willing to go to the mat. What would be the effect of a day without consumer spending? If we could organize and set aside a day (or days) that we spent nothing?
I don’t know if it is practical or of it would be enough to get their attention.
Thoughts anyone?
Can I just write a check for $37,000 to buy myself out of any government spending/regulations? Just curious.
I mean if they gonna hook me for this crap I’d rather be out now then next month when they decided they need to simulate me more.
Who is Corker?
It is pretty much a given that this POS bill is unconstitutional and a power grab by the federal government (particularly congress) against the states... there is no way the commerce clause can be twisted into this monstrosity of a bill and to say so completely violates constitutional conceptions of federalism and the very reason the 9th amendment was introduced.....
is there any way to get a court to strike this down though? since there is no generalized taxpayer standing except to challenge the establishment clause, can anyone possibly challenge its constitutional validity? could a state governor (maybe sanford) cause a state to challenge it? would they?
If this was to invoke cloture, do all you guys and gals think you can change the minds of Specter, Collins, Snowe and Corker with your descent upon Washington D. C.
As pressure to inject stimulus into the soft economy rose, both sides sweated the details, their lips pursed with amendments.
“Is there any protectionism?”
“Is this for the long term?”
These questions were asked, but in the rush any such concerns were lost in the swirl.
“This bill has been sequestered for too long”. The engorged legislation was finally presented, to loud verbal outcry.
Soon, the Senate body rocked back and forth with counteroffers and political posturing. Stiff opposition in the heated chamber was soon overcome.
“We’ve reached cloture!” someone yelled, and a Niagra of debt seeped into every corner of the constituency.
Tired, and a tad remorseful, they turned to quietly contemplate sin taxes.
Damn!
Knowing that Collins and Snowe will vote tomorrow for the
Porculous bill and will be re-elected no matter what, and
with the two votes being enough to pass the bill Specter
may vote against it just to cover his @ss.

Curse them!!!!!!! Double curse the repubs who voted for this and thought this was the best that could be done. An hour ago I heard Spec-traitor on Hannity radio and thought I was going to break something. He is so FOS!!! We are so screwed because the majority of people are more concerned over who is going to be the winner of Dancing with the Stars.

Where’s Michael Steele? If he’s really a conservative, then this is his first test to prove it!
Wit till people find out what’s in it. DEATHCARE for the elderly and infirm.
When they pass this pork bill, it will not work and they will be back for more, and more, and more.
When the value of the dollar bottoms out at Zero, the people that voted for Zero will realize what a horror he is/was, but it will be to late to stop the civil war.
