"When MSNBC asked Collins how she would react to the restoration of the House spending plan, she replied, “The Democrats will lose my vote.”

Similar remarks by Specter prompted House Majority Leader Steny H. Hoyer (D-Md.), not known for his bellicosity, to fire back at his weekly pen-and-pad session with reporters: “I’m shocked that any senator of any party would say this is the bill we passed, take it or leave it.”

“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.

Translation: We know these three will roll over and show their belly on command, no matter what.

Pelosi is her own worst enemy. If she digs in her arrogant heels on this "thing," she'll blow the whole Senate deal sky high, which is exactly what we want.

If that happens, then watching the fall-out should be fun once the Rats start pointing fingers and tearing each other to shreds.

Majority Leader Harry Reid’s solution has created its own set of problems for the speaker. Sens. Susan Collins (R-Maine), Olympia Snowe (R-Maine), Arlen Specter (R-Pa.) and Ben Nelson (D-Neb.) all have publicly insisted that the measure emerge more or less unchanged...

Laughable that it would remain unchanged after conference. One can only hope that the three stooges (with apologies to the real three stooges) keep their word and cause a nuculer (W) reaction in the Senate and House. Far better than letting this pelosi egg hatch.

“At these conferences, my experience has been that the White House has a seat at the table — that they weigh in.”

Oh really? I do not recall her saying anything like this for the past 2 years.

“I’m shocked that any senator of any party would say this is the bill we passed, take it or leave it.”

While it is perfectly acceptable for the potus to say; "I WON! Take it or leave it" ???

These people, and I use the term loosely, are despicable!

Besides the phone calls, we need to identify the Lobbyists who fund the rascals--and isolate the COMPANIES that fund the lobbyists with boycotts at the customer flank and shareholder suits at the stockholder flank.

And as we pray for their souls--we fight for our moral turf--with Alinsky's Rules--24/7 efforts to educate their neighbors of their depravity and blame.

Meanwhile we can and MUST divide and conquer the big urban/suburb communes that are Bolshevik/RINO support systems.





Strike The Root: First City Halls, THEN Washington!

Big City metro/urban areas are the support base for the Marxists and Useful Idiots at the State and Federal level. Break up the concentrated power centers and Conservatives will make huge gains in future elections everywhere!

The popular mood of economic dismay and anger at politicians tips the playing field strongly in our favor.
It will be a challenge now but we will never have a better opportunity than right now.

Tax-And-Spend Politicians face a lose-lose scenario: either (1) uphold the status quo, keeping Citizens furious so they don’t have to cut budgets and anger unions for campaign money and feet-on-the-street, or (2) cut budgets and taxes, making unions furious so they don’t face ousting by infuriated voters in regular or special elections (that we may help sponsor)

BIG CITY NEGATIVES:
Negative Economic Growth
Comparative Cost of Living
Excessive Property Taxes
Worst Schools despite the biggest per-student financing
Major Crime Rates/Unsafe communities
Drug-related burglaries and other crimes
Flagrant Panhandling, Prostitution, Perversion
Genuine Blight (not Kelo fraud and grand theft)
Graffiti & Vandalism
Excessive Business License Fees of many types
Excessive Local Tax Rates
High Insurance Costs


Since we’re fighting Marxism, Let’s Play…Reverse Class Warfare!
Private wage envy vs union/government jobs
Welfare outrages at expense of workers
“Blame The Democrats” for every ill and shill.

Don’t believe this for a moment. Pelosi would love us to stop calling the three traitors. We have to keep the pressure on them.

[Gunder]

You don’t need Republican votes, Nancy. If the bill is such a winner, then get your party together (both houses) and pass it already.

The Liberal/progressive Sheenan type moonbats are the key to democrats failure. We need the Pelosi's and Black Congressional Caucus types to go Chavez. The worst the stuff looks in their bills the easier it is to shoot them down. Call and email our luny liberal friends and ask them why Senate republicans (Don't call them RINOs, a give away) are writing the stimulus bill when us progressives (don't say socialists) won two elections. Demand that house democrats put all the welfare and liberal pork (call them important investments) back in the bill. And demand the abortion funding(call it reproductive options) be put back too, remind them Obama is a man who has never been pregnant.

Looks like the pressure is getting to Spectre, Snowe and Collins. I hope the GOP Senate leadership threatened to remove all three of them from their committe posts if they don’t do the right thing.

The economy would recover w/o this monstrosity and is showing signs of doing just that. If this passes that recovery is more doubtful.

The Dhims don't need the 3 RINO's to pass this pile of crap. They need them for the 'bipartisan' label.

It's not much, but it does give the Repubs 'some' control...oh and the 'take it or leave it' is something to use later.

[beachn4fun]

result in scaling back a $15,000 homebuyer tax credit, a favorite of the Senate GOP, and $11 billion in deduction of taxes on auto purchases, strongly opposed by Senate Finance Chairman Max Baucus (D-Mont.).

IMO, these two are related to a stimulus idea. Yet, these are the ones that they want to fight over.

This proves to me that it is really just a welfare package disguised as stimulus.

Anyway, thanks for going to the mat.

[cookcounty]

Is not the definition of an earmark “spending legislation that a member inserts into the bill anonymously”?

The whole thing is one huge bundle of earmarks.
