I took some artistic liberty to vent my fustrations.
have they read it, NO
Good for them. :)
They’re growing spines!!! A new scientific breakthrough occurred in the House!
Well, at least the Rats now own it all...
Otherwise, why shouldn't their vote be considered gross negligence for voting on it without reading it and allowing others to make changes and especially, for not disclosing sponsorship for each provision. Unbelieveable!
McCain is on the floor talking. He just said that Senators are ready to vote affirmative and he is thanking (kissing butt) to the RATS and President Zero. We are doomed.
Thank God and thank you for this thread.
Where are all those blue dog Democrats we keep hearing about?
Has anyone been calling them? They should be the targets come the mid terms. It is good that the House Republicans have held the line. If only they’d did so well last year the second go around with the first bill.
Thank you House GOP!
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.
I heard on Glenn Beck’s TV programme that ammo registration is in Porkulus. Is this true?
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.
Porkulus passes House with NO Republican supportApropos of nothing...
Marxist Politics or Unprincipled Combinationism?In May 1935, soon after Trotsky wrote his letter, Stalin signed a non-aggression pact with France -- the Stalin-Laval pact -- in which Stalin accepted the "national defense" of France against Germany. This heralded the abandonment of the Third Period in favor of the popular front. Under the guise of fighting fascism, the Stalinists advocated unity of the workers movement with the "progressive" and "democratic" elements of the bourgeoisie, i.e., those elements who were already in diplomatic alliance with the USSR and those with whom Stalin sought to make an alliance. This repudiation of the political independence of the working class was made explicit at the Comintern's Seventh, and final, Congress, held in July-August 1935 and dubbed by Trotsky the "Liquidation Congress."

GOOD FOR THE G.O.P.IN THE HOUSE!!!!!!
I seriously do hope that plenty of Freepers are also e-mailing all 7 Democrats who voted against this, so they can also be thanked for their votes against this “mess”.
How many republicans are there in the House and Senate? How many voted for this bill COMBINED? Is this the bipartisanship that 0bama talked of?
PORKULUS MAXIMUS wins!
