"Incredible that only 14 republicans voted against it!! Kay Bailey Hutchinson voted for it. WTH? Of course, McCain, Lugar and the usual suspects voted for it. Senators have to run in state wide elections. Therefor, they're much more sensitive how this will be played by the MSM. And, let's face it. The MSM loves Ameicacorps.

It’s starting to get a little too coincidental.

In addition, Senator Hatch mentioned that the Rev. Rick Warren, the evangelical minister of Saddleback Church and author of A Purpose Driven Life, was an enthusiastic supporter of this effort, as was Senator John McCain, the former Republican presidential nominee. The latters support, to Senator Hatch, demonstrated the exceptional bipartisan backing of the expansion.
This shows how much trouble we are really in.

I’ve read nearly the entire thread. Over 620 replies I’d figure.

“...cornerstone of volunteerism...”
I know a few of the kids who serve in Americorp locally. They are all pretty dense and leftist, but nice enough. They piddle all day at rebuilding and remodeling the homes of black folks (call me racist as if will, but thems the facts). They party hardy in the local bars, have weekends off and are basically are a waste of money.
