It really is all about the cameras and being “important” to these 3 RINO whores. Country and party be damned if they get ONE minute on CNN out of this. Ironically history will remember these egomaniacs as the enablers of this boondoggle. I sure hope these old wind bags live long enough to see the Carteresque inflation that is just around the bend. I sure wouldn’t want that in my obit.

Reid is the epitome of the sound of a cow peeing on a flat rock.

He likes us to see his limo when he deigns to visit Hooterville.

I see no reason for Republicans to support Collins, Snowe, and Specter for relection. If we have lost the NE totally, so be it. They are not Republicans.

When I saw Collins quivering her thanks to Snowe and Specter, my TV was almost a goner.

Hopefully, the voters in Maine will have her quivering her sorry *ss in the unemployment line in a few years. Maine is a weak economy as it is. If we head into a serious depression, they'll all be eating moose and wondering why they ever elected the two dames that destroyed them economically. I'm kind of rooting for that, actually. Schadenfreude!

I agree. Cut them off and kick them out of the caucus. They are Democrats and we need to call a spade a spade and get on with electing real Republicans elsewhere in the country. We will NEVER have a solid caucus unless Republicans stick together. This is a shameful day and we need to boot them out and move on to regaining a majority before our country is completely Soviet!

What do you mean "we don't have" the money? The Federal Government has all the money it can ever conceive of needing:

So what if gold goes to $100,000 an ounce, as far as the Democrat/Marxist party is concerned. They've banned it once, they can ban it again.

Good. Then let Maine feel the Paine! They wanted her brilliance in the Senate and when they are on food stamps with fuel shortages they can thank her for her leadership.

If she's that new and bucked Senate leadership, she's in deep doo doo anyway.

I am sad for our country and am having a difficult time accepting the socialism we now have. I also can't help but be furious at the Republicans again and again for lack of communication. If they had run ads - and they should have- on all channels advertising the pork and waste- they would have received so much support and this would have been defeated. I'm beyond baffled that they can't even think in terms of communication. I've stopped contributing to them but had they run ads, money would have poured into the RNC. I can only pray that God will have mercy on this nation.

Quit blaming the GOP.

3 Rinos.

Who’s really to blame here?

A pact forged in hell. We are seeing the free market systematically dismantled with a will before our very eyes by this gang of marxist ideologs, headed by the Obama administration.

Jeff this reply is not directed at you, just needed a place to let this out without starting a new Post.

Charles Gibson is a world class lying A-hole. As I was about to switch from the local news to History channel, he came on proclaiming that the Stimulus bill is a “done deal”. He added “To get a bill this big passed in this amount of time is REMARKABLE”. I have a question for A-hole Gibson. How REMARKABLE is it that the commie Democrats agree on something Charlie? Hmmmm?

Thanks, I needed to vent. I abhor network news, gah!

They are singing Obama's and the DNC's praises...but at the same time wondedering what's wrong with the market as it tanks.

Any one with a lick of sense and a love for the free market knows what this abomination is going to do...irrespective of the euphoria from the likes of Gibson.

They all fall into this class of Obama lemmings...

Watch this...

SINGING PRAISES TO THE NEW BELOVED LEADER - YOU TUBE

and then this...

HYMNS TO THE NEW BELOVED LEADER ARE NOT THE FIRST TIME - YOUTRUBE

...and finally, this:

THIS IS WHERE IT LEADS - NOW IS THEIR TIME AND TOMORROW BELONGS TO THEM

The precedent and consequences are well established historically. Far too many American have been sold a bill of goods...and with their money and their vote purchased a pig in a poke...a ravenous and rabid pig.

The 3 RINOs are the tipping point - they could have stopped this monstrosity, and they know it. RINOs indeed.

They're a faceless thug breaking into my home in the night with malice aforethought to steal the fruits of my labor and endanger the lives and futures of my children.

The maggots are deserving of the same self-defense response the above would legally engender.

That such is not the accepted response is indicative of the death throes of our once proud Republic.

Specter is approaching 80 and I read that his cancer is back. I don’t think he is in any shape to run in 2010. That’s why this RINO has no fear of any blow back.

You're right, he has no fear of blow back. OTOH his LEGACY is now sealed along with Collins' and Snowe's. It's official now:

THE THREE STOOGES SOLD OUT AMERICA.

Congratulations, stooges.
