780B including interest?
One or two votes from RINO senators won’t make a difference as long as the GOP leadership gets out in front and points out that there was near-unanimous opposition to it from the GOP. The GOPers who vote against it will still be able to run on it.
Are you sure it’s Collins?
All they needed was two... Snowe and Spector.
But don’t they also need Specter and Snowe?
I have Zero respect for all politicians. We would be better off without any of them.
Is any other network reporting this or this a trial balloon put out by CNN?
From Hot Air with more details:
A group of Senate moderates working on an amendment to cut up to $100 billion in spending from the economic stimulus package have completed a tentative proposal that will be presented to Senate Democrats at a 5:30 p.m. caucus meeting, Senate Budget Chairman Kent Conrad told reporters. “There is a proposal that is sufficiently fleshed out and we will have a caucus and discuss it,” Conrad said after emerging from talks in Senate Majority Leader Reid’s office. Democrats hope the proposal, developed by Sens. Susan Collins, R-Maine, and Ben Nelson, R-Neb. [SIC], will attract several GOP supporters and be acceptable to all Democrats, which would allow for passage of the plan as early as tonight.
Me too !
And the throngs of Collins’ underlings:

jordan_cross@collins.senate.gov
holly_nesbit@collins.senate.gov
ann_fisher@collins.senate.gov.
jon_ford@collins.senate.gov, bill_vail@collins.senate.gov, sarah_mccarthy@collins.senate.gov, tom_murphy@collins.senate.gov
After looking at the bottom line of my new monthly budget this is not the last thing I need to hear about before heading home...just damn!
For any Republicans who vote for this monster, I hope the GOP finds someone who can run against them in the next election, and rub the results of this legislation in their faces.
And Voinovich if Charlie Rangel bolts
Interest will make it 3-4 trillion.
I don’t think they needed ANY Republicans
Email came back undelivered. Her mailbox is full.
She needs to keep my CONSERVATIVE state and its flag far away from her treacherous RINOCRAT mug and out of her lying lips.
Dont know. Earlier this week my doctor brought it up to me. I had never talked politics with him before. He said we were squandering our children’s futures etc. There is widespread contempt for what these liberals are doing.
You were expecting different stripes from this RINO?
