Good that this is happening especially for this porkulus bill. People are not buying and some GOP govs are sensing it. (I thought the honeymoon for a prez was supposed to be easy.....I guess not! lol)

This may be the beginning of opposition to Hussein and Washington. We are now seeing full fledged liberalism on display and people will revolt from it.

I sense that Hussein may use an “emergency” to eventually try to impose martial law, suspend the 2nd amendment, etc. If that happens, I think that you will see a good handful of states telling the Zero to F-— off.

The opposition has begun.

Gov. Barbour is probably one of my favorite politicians- and actually, the only one I coould think of that I would really want to ever meet. But, according to him, he would not make a good national candidate because he had a former life as a Washington lobbyist.

But, if I were a Palin adviser, he'd be her best friend. I hope the Palin Camp might be finally realizing that they can win in 2012, if they focus solely on campaigning against the Washingtonians (both parties)-- that's where her majority is, imo.

Pelosi is way over her paygrade here. She is going to be a laughingstock in Washington

If six to eight governors reject this massive pork-fest, that would be magnificent.

If even one governor does reject the money, it would be worth celebrating, but six or more would be a strong rejection indeed.

Wait, so its confirmed that Sarah Palin will NOT accept all of the money..because I had heard her say in the past that she will look at it by a case by case basis, so if she is now saying she will reject all of it..WOW, that is a shock to me, and all I gotta say is YOU GO GIRL!! I had heard that many Alaskans were calling her office telling her to refuse ALL of it

At least some people know that spending for the sake of spending does not solve everything.

Next Conservative Governors ought to reject having their people pay it back to the federal government also....

Yes Succession is on the table. Peaceful though because I would never advocate violence like the hate filled liberals do.

In your face Mr. Obama, Mr. Reid & Ms. Pelosi!
While the democrats may have a majority that makes it possible for them to pass stupid legislation, there are still plenty on things that conservatives can do to come against them - if they have the nerve to do so.
