Angry Republican senators vowed Thursday to put up a fight against President Barack Obama's economic stimulus bill after the package passed the House of Representatives with no opposition support.

I hope they hold firm!

[Titus Quinctius Cincinnatus]

I do too....but I’ll believe it when I see it.

[St. Louis Conservative]

This is, as Larry Kudlow likes to say, a big mustard seed.

Hang in there, guys. Even if moderates like Snowe, Specter, & Collins defect, I’ll still consider it a victory so long as the rest of the caucus holds.

[NoGrayZone]

I pray they stand strong.

[Indy Pendance]

The media will hail them as heros.

[Vaquero]

do they have enough Senators who are willing to filibuster....I mean with McCain, Snowe, Collins et al???

[Izzy Dunne]

I just sent a message to my Senators (Snowe and Collins, generally known as RINOs), imploring them to resist the license to steal.

Find your Senators

[ItsForTheChildren]

It’ll still pass but force them to own the whole damn thing!

It’s like others have observed, Obama’s problem really isn’t with the Republicans. It’s with Pelosi and Reid.

[Battle Axe]

Everyone!!! Bombard your senators with emails.

[manc]

just keep calling and mailing, not just your own senator but red dog dem senators too.

Keep the pressure on them .

Snowe, Collins, Graham, and Voinovich (and probably Arlen Sphincter, too) will side with the Democrats, as usual.

"A week-long charm offensive by Obama failed to win over even a single Republican"

Barf!

[DoughtyOne]

Are they angry at what they see in the bill, or are they angry at what they don’t see in the bill (their measure of pork)?

This bill should not be modified and passed. It should die. Put a stake through it’s chest, stomp on it, and bury it for all time.

That’s my bottom line.

[manc]

don’t just call and mail your own though, if that happens it means say Snowe gets what 50 calls and mail where as if we all call Snowe then she’ll get at least a few hundred.

shop around and find senators of your own and find red dog dems as well as RINO’s

[St. Louis Conservative]

Who cares.

[combat_boots]

"or are they angry at what they don’t see in the bill (their measure of pork)?"

Republican post turtle senators are just asking themselves where their pie is.

I just now sent a e-mail to Richard Burr, the NC Senator, and I did tell him I supported Rush Limbaugh's position....
I know its pointless to contact Kay Hagan...

Obama wants bi-partisanship but the Republicans in the House took a pass. Why should they vote for this nonsense? It's like Obama said, everyone should have some skin in the game, so why should Republicans vote for something from which they were totally excluded?. Pelosi has basically said "Screw them, there is no way I am going to let any Republicans in this game." (My words - not hers.)

I doubt that Obama really cares, but he wanted to kick the bi-partisan football, and Lucy Pelosi took it away and he landed on his butt. She made him look foolish.

[Uncle Miltie]

I will send checks to vulnerable Republican Senators who vote to defeat.
