Senate Cloture motion on $1 Trillion pork bill passes, 61-36 [FTR: Senator Corker DOESN'T support it

So now, George W. Bush and Henry Paulson are Democrats?

Almost. The bill originated in the democratic controlled house and senste, not in the white house. I say almost because Bush signed it.

Jim Jones fed his people Kool Aid, Obama is feeding the country poisoned pork with no way to pay for it. What is happening will be far worse than doing nothing.

If there were Republicans that voted for this bill, and conservatives threaten to vote them out of office, wont there be a greater chance of their seats being filled with democrats?

Yes. The far leftist I work with was gleefully enjoying this prospect.

[Ezekiel]

By a vote of 61-36, the Senate voted to cut off debate, setting up a likely vote on final passage Tuesday.

It's time for the "final passage" alright. ;-(

God Bless America,
Land that I love.
Stand beside her, and guide her
Thru the night with a light from above.
From the mountains, to the prairies,
To the oceans, white with foam
God bless America, My home sweet home.

61? Don’t they need 61? If they only go 600 could it be blocked or fillibustered?

You roo lazy to type it out! Stick your alphabet soup up your back side!

I didn’t write it, but thanks for the thoughtful suggestion...

[cruise_missile]

So if the stimulus bill is approx ~$800 Billion for 4 Million jobs.
That’s $200,000 per job.

Does Michael Steele fully support the “independence streak” of the three Republican RINOs who voted for this, or does Michael Steele fully support the other side, the conservative side, who still fights for the principles that they believe in on all of the issues? Truly “big tent Republicanism” for always, or truly conservative for always?

"the bill, as amended, be read a third time,

Maybe they can force them to ACTUALLY read the bill for the FIRST time (that should take until April Fools Day).

[cookcounty]

" but the CBO is scheduled to score the thing “early this week”. If they come out with their numbers and they are ugly maybe it could help. On second thought, probably too late.

Didn'tthey already come out with it?

Yes,...I just posted this from Flopping Aces:

Stimulating Thoughts: CBO Warns Dem Bill would damage economy

[Mrs. Don-o]

I’ve been trying to contact Corker’s office for the past 30 minutes and all I get is a busy signal. I don’t have FAX. How can I contact him?

[Mrs. Don-o]

OK, I just got Corker's office at 202-224-3344 and they said he's voting against it. I affirmed that strongly and then suggested that he and the other anti-Stimulus senators go and jump Sen. Alen Specter.

This was followed by a shocked silence.

Then I said, "I mean that in the nonviolent sense, son."

(I guess.)

[Lucky9teen]

Ah....

[blam]

I messed up early with the “MARK YOUR TIME” comment. I should have said, MAKE YOU TIME. Anyway....

[3catsanadog]

And don’t they have an Omnibus Bill coming up later in the year?

[3catsanadog]

Wonder how much money this woman gets per child from the taxpayers?

[hoosiermama]

If the admin is pointing to a poll, they probably paid for it.

Or took it only in CHicago.

[The Ghost of Rudy McRomney]

Here’s what needs to be done. Conservatives all across the country, from ALL STATES, should send money to Snowe, Collins, and Specter’s opposition in the primaries. Hollywood does this all the time-they contributed more to Frankenstein’s campaign than anybody else. They always get easy victories-it’s time to change that.

[castlebrew]

then not one red cent to any of them!
