The Republicans should just let them rant and rave until Dec 31, 2010...then announce that they won’t vote for bill...and when they take over, just do what they want, and to hell with the Zeros.

What a travesty. Unfortunately the American voters allowed it to happen when they turned the government over to statists and collectivists.

Mine wasn’t a “Tea party” candidate but he did speak at the last tea party express event in this district. He’s definitely everything a tea partier could want and he won.

I could see Nancy Pelosi trying to refuse to seat the new congress.

I could also see her sedated and netted.

Republicans reportedly not fighting back. Was November meaningless?

The dems control the committees. There is NOTHING the republicans can do till it comes up for debate on the floor.

I agree. I was initially for the tax compromise but now I say let it die and we will take it all up in Jan.

Hundreds of earmarks being added for things like American Samoan tourism.

1) Let the bill become a BIG mess.
2) Let it not pass.
3) Go back to your district.
4) Tell everyone that Obammy could not deliver his party, and that is why your taxes will rise in 2011.
5) New Year comes.
6) Taxes rise, and take home pay falls.
7) People are pissed.
8) Obammy and the Rats share the blame, and look more pathetic than they do now.
9) Introduce a more principled bill.
10) Look good whether it passes or not.

This is the perfect illustration of how earmarks cost much more that the pittance all the congress critters claim they cost. They are used to wheel and deal to get bigger omnibus bills passed.

Obama has actually gotten Bill Clinton to go out and defend this bill and encourage the Dems to go for it.

Wow, is this the weakest most ineffectual president we have every had? Including Jimmah Carter.

Shame on the toothless Republicans for not screaming about this travesty. To give BO another trillion dollars to be borrowed from China, so he can crow about another “stimulus” is just irresponsible.

How could the Republicans not have known about all of the pork in this bill? Is it possible they didn’t know? I thought the deal was hammered out between them and Obama. This doesn’t look good for them.

I can never tell whether the Dems. are clever or insane?

Can't one be insanely clever, or cleverly insane?
