““I can’t imagine that three Republicans would deny what the president wants at the end of the day,” said a top House Democratic aide, speaking on condition of anonymity.”

I’m seriously wondering if this person said that with a straight face? We all watched as the democrats denied the Republican President what he wanted at the end of the day without batting an eye. Now that the shoe is on the other foot, they are stunned that what was done by them is now being done TO them.

‘When Pelosi emerged from behind closed doors a few minutes later to address the press, she wore the broadest possible smile on her face.’

Kinda like Heath Ledger’s joker....

Good job. I thought of the same thing. We should call our senators and let them know three of their buddies aren’t picking up. We are concerned maybe their phone lines have been cut, their email system hijacked, their staff aides are taking an 8 hour lunch, or worse, they’re passed out on the floor. We are REALLY concerned something is wrong in these three senators’ offices. If enough people call their senators about the other three with humorous concerns......eventually the message will get back to Snowe/Collins/Specter.

If only the Porkulus package was that lean and easy to kill.

But that kid has the right idea. It might just come down to citizens exercising their 2nd Amendment right to stop this out-of-control tyranny-in-the-making.

Call, email, call, fax.

Let’s do it for Jim R and the fine folks who went to DC to fight for us!

Jim are you back? Many many thanks for going to DC. I loved the lady showing up with her kids at Specter office. Ms. Morgan busting down the door. “Come out here!”

Everyone call, fax, email. call their in-state offices if the DC numbers are busy.

Use faxzero.com which is free. You get two free faxes a day but if you have another email address(es) you should be able to do another 2.

Just a touch of hypocrisy there, Mr. Hoyer - aren't you making pretty much the same statement? You won't allow the Senate bill to pass because you want your original bill to be restored? Fire all of them now.

Call, fax, email. Faxzero.com is free. 2 faxes per day per email account.

Also call the RNC. Call Specter, Collins and Snowe’s in-state offices too. These people are FEELING the heat.

Klobuchar has about 30 staffers. I still have yet to get a reply.

I think the GOP minus the 3 traitors should just abstain from even being around when the vote is taken. Get as far away from Porkulus as you can lest you be stained by the fat from thing. Let anyone who will listen know you were not involved with the bankrupting of America and remind them which party was and that there is is in NO WAY
“bi-partisan”.

Bless your work and we will keep pushing. This whole thing reminds me of a case here in California where a young woman was injured in a car accident. Her drunken friend in another vehicle ran over and jerked her out of the car, apparently because the friend believed the car might burn although no one else seemed to think that was possible. Result: what was possibly a minor injury turned the young woman into a paraplegic because the friend, not willing to wait for the paramedics, injured the girl’s neck in the process. Now Obama and the Democrats are the drunken friends trying to convince us the car is burning. I hope we don’t end up with the same result.
