I have called my guys numerous times. Both voted no.

[freekitty]

Thanks for the ping. Anything that will help.

Where is Michael on this?

[Doogle]

thats ok..we all understand, and appreciate your efforts

[Iscool]

Hey, that’s some pig...Where do you hunt for those, Washington DC???

[lonestar]

I just wish we knew what the the turn-coats were promised behind closed doors.

You know, you would think for their own sakes they wouldn't want to see funding of ACORN (and at taxpayer expense). You'd think that they'd scream louder about moving oversight of the census to the White House. I just don't understand these people. I can only suppose that they really really believe that most Americans are that stupid and have that short of memories, and they may not be wrong. But what about what these things do to their own ambitions? The buzz has to be getting louder and louder that money will be drying up to the RNC, people want their contributions to mean something.

Google broke your link. I think it’s time to look into a lawsuit against Google.

[freekitty]

Link at DogPile. You will get it.

The citizens of Maine AND THE RNC sold us all out

Just a slight correction: this citizen of Maine didn't vote for her, the "comrades" did..:-)

I've contacted both her and Snowe's office here in Bangor registering my displeasure and advising them of the shame they've brought down on the state of Maine and themselves.

I saw Grassley on TV today. He blamed Pelosi and company, and quoted Obama as saying that Republicans “had some good ideas.” I don’t know if Grassley really believes it, but it could be an effective strategy for Republicans. Agree with the lie that Obama is more “moderate” than congress. To some degree, that blunts the Dem attack about Republican “partisanship.”

[G.Mason]

Thanks ... working on it now.

[Spunky]

Ping!

Apparently, even without the numbers, the Dems have a Filibuster proof Senate.

[mrsmel]

What the president wants??!! What about what Americans-whom they are supposedly there to serve-want? When did we become a monarchy?

[penelopesire]

All in all..it is a good strategy..for now. But sooner or later...they are going to have to ‘cut off the head of the snake’ so to speak. Obama is leading this marxist mission to rip off and ruin America and they will have to go after him and expose his lies.

“Update 2/11: If the House repacks Porkulus, Specter, Snowe & Collins threaten to pull out! Keep calling, folks! Keep the pressure on!!”

Hmm... so, the Senate version of this POS bill is somehow “un-packed”?

Maybe we should “pressure” the House to “repack” Porkulus, if that’s what it takes to kill it.
