Sen. Judd Gregg, R-N.H., who withdrew his nomination to be Obama’s Commerce secretary, said he would vote against the bill.
Did Gregg vote during the first Senate passage? Who are the two Senators that did not vote during the fist passage?
I think that means Shut The F**k Up.
Chill out dude.
If you want to play smear posters, you may get made fun of back.
But there is no need to swear!
DELUSIONAL EMAIL FROM MOVEON.ORG:
Dear MoveOn member,
You’d think after bankrupting our country, Republican leaders would rethink some of their ideas.
Guess again.
They actually tried to replace the whole stimulus bill with tax cuts for the rich. And the worst part is, they were partially successful—they gutted funding from some of the most progressive programs, like school construction and affordable health care.
We need to make sure voters back home know what these Republicans are up to. Because if we don’t, they’ll do it again. They’ll weaken or block every important piece of legislation this year.
If you want health care for all, if you want to stop climate change, if you want to end the war, can you help run ads letting voters know that their senators and representatives stood in the way of change? Since yesterday, thousands of contributions have been coming in. But we’re still $100,000 short of our goal. Can you chip in $25 to put us over the top?
President Obama and most of the congressional Democrats spent the last month working hard to craft a plan that would help keep hundreds of thousands of teachers from being laid off, invest in vital green-energy technology, and provide health care for folks who lose their jobs.
What did conservative Democrats and Republicans bring to the table? Rehashed Bush policies and tired talking points. The very same things that got us into this mess in the first place. The stimulus will still create millions of jobs, and it’s an important first step, but it could have been even stronger.
People are really suffering across our nation, yet Republicans are continuing to play the same old partisan games—and they’re being helped along by conservative Democrats. Don’t worry: We’ll hold both Republicans and Democrats who stand in the way of change accountable with these ads.
We need to make it crystal clear to their voters what they’re doing. If we don’t, these senators and representatives will stand in the way of every bit of progress we try to make this year, from clean energy to affordable health care for all. Can you chip in $25 to help us run hard-hitting ads exposing this conservative obstructionism?

Thanks for all you do.
On financial matters they were often torn between principle and standing with a Republican president under siege.
Ditto! And bravo to those in the Senate, too!
Well, it's us taxpayers that are taking another one in the ass - not the RATS.
And it ain't over yet.
By the time The One and the RATS are done screwing us over, this once free republic will be a long-gone dream.
Very scary indeed!
Thank God McCain was NOT elected President. He would have given Republicans a worse reputation than they have now...and that’s saying somethin’.
I heard on Glenn Beck’s TV programme that ammo registration is in Porkulus. Is this true?
My pinkie has more nerve cells in it then these dumbasses have.
If the Republican Party had any balls, the Congressionals and Senate should call Barney Frank out for his involvement in the bust of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
So!...these brave Republican representatives need to be promoted en-masse to the Senate and the spineless ones in the Senate who crossed over to vote with the D’s need their butts kicked out, period!
The problem we’ll have is getting the Republicans to act like this when they’re back in power.
“THIS VOTE IS A REALITY CHECK
for those who say the GOP must be abandoned and that true Conservatives must start a new party.”
I agree wholeheartedly. Check out this video about the House Republicans. It is OUTSTANDING!!! Celebrate the small battles won.

I think we have a real team here. Leadership and all need to be commended especially:
Minority (Republican) leadership
Minority Leader: John Boehner
Minority Whip: Eric Cantor
Chief Deputy Minority Whip: Kevin McCarthy
Republican Conference Chair: Mike Pence
Republican Policy Committee Chairman: Thaddeus McCotter
Republican Conference Vice-Chair: Cathy McMorris-Rodgers
Republican Conference Secretary: John Carter
Republican Campaign Committee Chairman: Pete Sessions
Gotta admit, Obozo has united the Republican Party and exposed the RINOs.
PRay for America and Our Troops
Thank you George W. Bush for creaking the door to unadulterated socialism. America has been transformed into the land of corporate and public welfare thanks to your poorly named ‘compassionate conservatism.’ Your contributions will be forever remembered by the legions of socialist lackeys who have been biding their time to capitalize on the key slipup of a once-proud movement. But maybe just maybe you handed over enough power to the democrats that they will eventually choke on it. Somewhere the ghost of Barry Goldwater weeps for our battered republic.
Obama will only get away with blaming Bush his first year. Then America will expect he take ownership of his job.
Actually it all depends on your personal view. I consider 13th just another number. However it will now be remembered as the day the Dims ruined this country.
Freshman (D.)Congressman Minnick from Utah was on Fox this afternoon. He voted no. He’s also the one that wrote another form of stimulus package, 197 billion, expires after two years and ONLY contained the much needed stumuls items. I like him, he said he’s a businessman and this bill did NOT make good business sense.
The guy had a lot of good common sense, a fiscal conservative. I may not agree with him on other things, although I haven’t seen him before this...but he aure got my attention with his vote today.
The House Republicans did a great thing today and should be congratulated. We need to encourage them and each other when they do the right thing.
