Where did the money come for this facility? What a bunch o crap, if you want to cut taxes do so, no more spending, ever, ever!!!!
How many pages was THIS law? How many more regulations are being shackled around the necks of small businessmen? If you borrow money from the feds, tell me they won’t wind up managing your day to day operations.
Oh Boy a package. this will do the trick. Yahoo!
Geo Voinovich, not seeking reelection in 2010.
George LeMieux, appointed by Crist in 2009. Not seeking reelection in 2010.

Want to come over here and try explaining to us again why it is so important to the GOP to have these sort of Mike Castle type political turncoats elected?

“I couldn’t find a reason to be against it, I could only find reasons to be for it,” LeMieux told POLITICO after the vote”””
IF you actually ran a business, sir, you might be more informed about the crap you are voting for in the District of Criminals.

Make the Bush tax cuts permanent, and eliminate corporate income taxes and capital gains taxes.
Another example of why it is critical to have enough conservatives in the senate to prevent a 60 vote override of a filibuster.
Every RINO needs to go. McCain is a maggot for taking his presidential coffers to beat Hayworth.

It's been some years since I took BS 101, but as I recall a 'significant' legislative victory ranks far below 'benchmark' legislation, 'sweeping' legislation, and 'historic' legislation.
