"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.”

‘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....

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.

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.

“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.

I can't believe what is going on. It's like a 3 ring circus. I also can't believe that ACORN funds were left in and that they aren't fighting to remove entire part about socialized medicine.
Kill that stupid joke of a stimulus package and start over. Pelosi is schizophrenic.

A Pelosi-Reid cage match ought to be the next main event back at Harry Reid’s constituency.

“Usually you go to conference and split the difference between the two houses — that may not be the case here,” Pelosi said. “At these conferences, my experience has been that the White House has a seat at the table — that they weigh in.”

Um.... Nancy, darling... That's because we used to have GROWNUPS in the White House. He's your party and he's your president. Deal with it!

This is all window dressing...the important things the dems want will be in the bill and they are trying to make it look reasonable after certain irrelevancies are cut.

If you threaten to cut off both arms, and then compromise at cutting off one arm, is it a reasonable spl;itting of the difference?

Don’t fall for the kool aid folks.

The negative calls and emails are starting to take their toll on the democRats overly confident ramrod agenda!

Am keeping up the pressure. Calling McCaskill again, and asking Bond to hold firm.
Thanks for going to DC Monday and Tuesday on our behalf!

I don’t believe a word from their mouths . . . they’re all despicable “republicans” and should change party affiliations.

Nancy Pelosi had heard enough, thank you very much, after two enraged House Democrats rose at Tuesday’s caucus meeting to bitterly denounce the Senate’s take-it-or-leave-it offer on the stimulus.

"It wasn’t because Pelosi wasn’t ticked off herself — quite the opposite.

“At a certain point, after a couple of members had expressed themselves, she asked that future speakers not address that issue because it was reminding her how angry she was,” said Rep. Anthony D. Weiner (D-N.Y.), who was in the room."

Queen Pelosi


Take it or leave it? DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?

Received mail today stating that $150M of this bill is for
honey bee insurance...$25M to rehab ATV off road trails. $400M for STD prevention. This in addition to the frisbee parks, etc.

I think all that is needed once the porkulus bill goes back to the senate is a SIMPLE MAJORITY..There will be no fillibusters at that point..

So the 3 rinos are full of 'pelosi' when they make the claim that they will not vote for the bill..THEIR VOTE WILL NOT BE NEEDED!!!!!

I beg anyone to let me know that this is wrongo...
