Obama Porkulus Bill (LIVE Thread) US House C-SPAN

01/ 28/09 | US House members

[TornadoAlley3]

various Dems saying “I know that more needs to be done”.

[chpmass]

This stimulus package is absolutely absurd. The Democrats should all be impeached for this package.

[Blood of Tyrants]

If they are following up with “but, ......”, it is good news.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

It’s on the radio. Who’s speaking, now?

[Sleeping Freeper]

Great Picture.... worth at least 10,000 words....

Barbara Lee D- complaining about greed, applauding Obama and Pelosi.

[TornadoAlley3]

Divided House to hand Obama stimulus win...
Bill Nears $900 Billion?
GOP: ‘Won’t stimulate anything but more government and more debt’...
Bleeding banks prompt talk of new big bailout...
FDIC May Run ‘Bad Bank’ in Obama Plan...

Marx would be proud of Ms. Lee. Another moonbat Communist that’s taken over the Democrat party.

[TornadoAlley3]

Lee says not big enough should be more money and should have been enacted a year ago.

[TornadoAlley3]

Barrett -R- South Carolina says out of 206 amendments R's offered, only 11 accepted.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Obey -D- “how much more worse will it be if we do nothing”,

unknown male voice - “will the gentleman yield?”

Obey- “No I am not going to take any interruptions from anyone”

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

K. Just turned the radio back on. Well, that was short! He didn’t answer any questions. Naturally.

[sf4dubya]

Scroll to the end. The Dems want to give money to the telcos and energy companies by subsidizing infrastructure outbuilds.

Use the Dems’ namecalling right back at them: they are in the control of Big Telco, Big Energy, and Big Voter Fraud.

The ACORN stuff is a quasi-money laundering scheme to get the taxpayer money back into campaign funds for Obama. Disgusting.

Burn the phone lines up!

(USA Today | 2009/01/28) Obama faces first challenge; Wins few GOP converts at Capitol on eve of stimulus vote today

(quote) Rep. Mike Castle, R-Del., said there could be as many as 10 to 15 Republicans supporting the package, but added, "If I had to bet, I would bet zero."

Obama just promised transparency via a new website (Recovery.gov), but that site says nothing will be posted until after the legislation is passed. How is THAT transparency? Sort of like saying, “I’ll tell you what is in your meal after you eat it.” You can barf all you want later, but you’ve still eaten a s*** sandwich.

[Vozda]

Do you when does the actual vote take place?

[Lucky9teen]

The package’s current incarnation calls for roughly two-thirds to be in the form of new spending on everything from unemployment aid to construction projects, with the rest consisting of tax cuts for individuals and businesses.

Hmmmpphhh

[maggief]

I hope it FAILS!

[Lucky9teen]

[pctech]

Oh how quickly we forget. Right after Clinton was elected into office he got Congress to pass the largest tax increase in American history. It was that package that led to the GOP takeover in 1994. I say, “Let them pass this monstrousity of a bill,” and then watch America rise up in arms when they finally see all the pork that was passsed in the name of “economic stability.”

I just called Blunt’s office in DC and sent him an email.

Is he strongly opposing the bill? Thanks.

[TornadoAlley3]

final vote- early evening

[TornadoAlley3]

Drier -R said 1.18 billion for every single page of the bill

[TornadoAlley3]

voting on rules debate thingy now 13 minutes left of vote

[LZ_Bayonet]

Ironic that this thread shows a picture of dead pigs. When I watched those “business leaders” supporting Obama at the press conference it was like watching piglets at the teat. Especially that comment about not trying for “perfection” in this bill. Translation: “The heck with America and it’s socialist future. I want “Mine” Now!”

[Girlene]

LOL. Great way to describe this “bill”.

[manc]

exactly
ACRON might get billions and then that goes back into getting phony elected again and doing more fraduelent votes along with their registrations

This is such a scam and I’ve e-mails and called senators and reps all morning and last night.
Even Snowe got two calls and an e-mail from me and I’m at the bottom of the country while she’s at the top.

[TornadoAlley3]

[manc]

target reps and senators who are up for reelection , Rinos and red dog Dems especially the new ones.

All I’ve been doing is this last night and this morning, the only way we can get this to fail is to put as much pressure as possible on to these reps and senators.

Remind them that they are up for reelection and if they are a Dem remind them that they are supposed to be working for the country and you even if they are not your rep.

[TornadoAlley3]

Texas congressman has amendment to take out all spending in this bill and just leave the tax cuts.R- Randy Neugebauer- Texas.
Talking about it on CSPAN while procedural vote in progress.

[LZ_Bayonet]

Exactly! Can you put:

I
B
M

on the back of the white one?

[TornadoAlley3]

I can't but sure some talented FReeper here can:)

[TornadoAlley3]

CSPAN taking calls, Dem caller...”Republicans only want to give tax breaks to the rich and never want to give tax breaks to the poor.”..”FDR destroys Reagan”

[TornadoAlley3]

state breakdown of stimulus money

[TornadoAlley3]

CSPAN host- “caller you are the third person who has mentioned ACORN in this bill, what's that all about?”

CSPAN host interviewing Jeff Flake, Flake has amendment to take out Amtrak money, host asks, “what's that about Amtrak in this bill? “

[batter]

The GOP better hold the line on this. I wish I could say that with certainty.

[LZ_Bayonet]

"...”Republicans only want to give tax breaks to the rich and never want to give tax breaks to the poor.”

Obviously, the poor don't pay taxes. He means to say, "Republicans are not in favor of redistribution of income in support of a Socialist agenda."
