Senate passed a $26.1 billion dollar state aid bill aimed at saving public service jobsOMG. The new tax payer funded GM plant that is due to hire 900 new employees (that Oboma touted with pride) is going to be built in.........Mexico!

Democrats, with the help of Republican Maine Sens. Susan Collins and Olympia SnoweWhen are these two up for election again? All of America should work to end this madness. It should be made into a national movement.

Are these the jobs that were allegedly saved by the Stimulus package?

There is no party. You have a choice. You can be a conservative, you can be a socialist or you can be a liberal, also known as a Republicrat.

Twenty six billion for 140,000 jobs? That’s a little over $187,000 per job. Where can I sign up?!?!?!

If it really is only saving 140,000 ‘teacher’ jobs, then that’s $185,714 per job. I know of no teachers who make that kind of money.
Let me tell you how this works. They send the money to the school districts. They put it in their general accounts. Then they do this, in this order: 1. They give administrators a raise; 2. buy some more gubmint cheese for the cafeteria, and 3. ‘save’ a few teacher jobs by not hiring anyone new and calling it a victory.
School districts are the most corrupt places on earth.

McConnel is the only one that has even a smattering of control over these two harpies. If Mitch doesn't cut them off from all chairman ship positions or any other position of importance then we should get rid of Mitch, PRONTO AMIGO.( Just practicing for the time when the Hombres from Mexico take over) Alto.

The public school system is one of the biggest tax payer scams in American history. The kids are nothing but tools.

As a wise friend once told me...
Great minds think alike. Devious minds are of one nature!
I trust we more of the former than the latter...;)

If it gets close to Republican control they will switch like Spectre.You betcha. This is the game played in this corrupt "Two-Party Cartel". We probably will never have a true conservative CONgress. The elites won't allow it & these POS that are elected will sell out every time.

We need to make them two dingbats within 47 GOP senators instead of 40. These two are really the Edith Bunker wing of the Republican Party.

I have to wonder when you folks in Maine are going to get your act together???
At least tell them (twin RINO’s) to switch parties to remove all doubt...Sure would make it easier for y’all and everyone else...
