In a press conference Thursday, the House Republican leadership spoke candidly about being kept out of the House-Senate conference on the Obama-Pelosi-Reid so-called economic stimulus bill. They confirmed they had not yet seen the text of the bill as of 4 p.m.
<SNIP> The fact that the Demos have now broken their promise to have the public able to see the bill for 48 hours may drive more Dems into the Republican camp.
[I] dont know, cause they havent seen the bill either, Boehner said.
The American people have a right to know whats in this bill, Rep. Mike Pence (R-Ind) told HUMAN EVENTS after the press conference. Every member of Congress -- Republicans and Democrats -- voted to post this bill on the internet for 48 hours, 48 hours ago. Well see if the Democrats keep their word.

From bipartisanship to blind “bipartisan” sham artist mindset. The mask is off on word manipulation.
They want blind voters.
The “blindersanship”.
Truth is, they don’t know themselves what the heck they are doing, blind mindless hypocrite Ceaucescu bureaucrate glorified law robots playing stupid.
Crack heads on a death train, the lot of them. The economy is going to reflect this. Total chaos.
Among other things I told my senators about was the selfish fact that to pass this bill without dissuasion and debate to make sure it is needed and not just spending would consign “my bonus baby” (currently four) to a life of higher taxes or lost opportunities.
I urge everyone to contact your representatives. For once in my life I see a political battle that I cannot ignore.
These businesses are already teetering, and if it were made known that their continued financial survival depends on a "change of attitude".... could be an interesting thing to watch unfold.
Of course, this wouldn't work unless a huge number of conservatives committed to doing it.
“I agree with you. For the first time in my 55 years I have written to one of my elected officials and that probably is something that is happening a lot in the country.

Good on you! Hope there are MILLIONS more like you who are contacting their reps for the first time!

a worker at a big corporation will have a hard time asking for "unpaid" days.
The company can charge off vacation days until you exhaust those. After that, they still have to allow the full 12 weeks (60 days) of leave. It can be taken one day a week.
Democraps LYIN’ ????? Say it ain’t so!
I’m always SHOCKED, but NEVER SURPRISED by what they say and do!
They TOTALLY SHUT OUT the GOP from the process, and they
keep the details of the bill from the public!
They pack this “so-called economic stimulus” with their
PORK cra* and then RUSH to cram it down our throats!
There is $$ BILLIONS for ACORN, and a provision that starts
NATIONALIZED HEALTH CARE in the U.S., and ZERO effective
tax cuts to stimulate the economy !!
What a crock!!

As of right now we freepers, the republican party leadership, talk radio, and all of those with an opinion need to make the Democrat party take ownership of this bill. We must start calling it the Democrat Stimulus Bill and make them take responsibility from now on. It will make the campaign in 2010 start to take place, and give us an issue from the git-go. Denco
