Here we go.

Bon Voyage Madam

[1066AD]

Cao, of New Orleans said he’d vote for it.

[gondramB]

I wonder if they ever published the bill before they voted on it.

[patton]

It is the anniversery of the day the father general of the templar’s was burned at the stake.

Jaque DeMolay.

New Orleans Rep. Anh “Joseph” Cao was the only Republican member who had signaled a willingness to support the bill, but he said he decided this morning that the package was too expensive and wouldn’t do enough to create jobs in his distirct.

2-13 and 9-11— terrorism dates that will be remembered for sure.

Its a pity they can’t come back and haunt the dems and rinos.

[TribalPrincess2U]

He didn’t get his pork?

[HoosierHawk]

Dems pull his earmark? : )

[TribalPrincess2U]

When this blows up in their faces, and it will, it will do more then haunt them.

[darkangel82]

No, he just read the bill.

[popdonnelly]

Pelosi went to Rome to give the Pope an audience with her.

[txnativegop]

I hope it crushes the dems, literally and figuratively speaking. I hope it grinds the dems into chum.

[anniegetyourgun]

The crushing and grinding has been underway since 11/4/08. It will only get worse over the next 8 years.

[Dionysius]

Are you saying that if they lose one RINO the Dems lose the bill? Hasn’t anyone heard of chloroform?

[txnativegop]

thank you for bursting my bubble that BO would be gone after four years (hanging head and crying uncontrollably) LOL

Bears ... bears ... bears ... bears ... bears ... bears ... bears ... bears ... bears ... bears ... bears ... bears ... bears ... bears ... bears ... bears (repeating)

NOT ONE REPUBLICAN VOTED FOR THE BILL. THEY HELD FIRM. That's the very small silver lining.

[kcvl]

Believe me, he is getting ‘his share of pork’...

Well, I guess the good news the GOP is developing a little proto-spine...

They’re not quite to homo erectus, but a big step above their former amoeba state.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

I’m glad the House GOP held to its principals. First time in quite a while I’ve been happy with them.

For the first time in quite a while, THEY'RE with US.

[Rastus]

So, you think someone took him aside and said, “Look, it’ll pass anyway. Vote with us and get some cover.”
