WASHINGTON (SR) - 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.
In a briefing with several of his colleagues, Republican Senator Jon Kyl called the bill "a stinking, bloated, quivering pile of liberal pork."
Kyl outlined some of the "extras" in the Democrat's bill:
$144 million for a Che Guevara memorial in San Francisco.
$949 million for gay, bi, and transsexual oriented preschools.
$1.8 billion for ACORN.
$22 million for a PBS special "Obama: The First Two Weeks."
$437 million for the Chappaquiddick Kennedy Bridge.
$1.4 billion for inner city mobile family planning/abortion vehicles.
$545 million for the third world gay sensitivity series, "I Want To Bone Chico."
$4.25 billion for assorted "green" things.
$776 million for a cartoon line of preteen condoms.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has promised to defend the bill, saying, "Every penny in that bill will go someplace, and that's what's important."
144 million for a memorial to Che?Are they nuts!(I’D be willing to give a million to the guy that shot him though)
It’s just stupid enough to believe, because they ARE that stupid.
Celebrating Marxists with taxpayer monies??? This whole Congress/Obama/Democrats thing has gotten compeltely out of control.
It’s a parody, but not far off, I’m afraid. I certainly hope it’s a parody !! lol
ROTFL!!!
“Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has promised to defend the bill, saying, “Every penny in that bill will go someplace, and that’s what’s important.””
The only man dumber than Joe Biden.
I think the Chappaquiddick Kennedy Bridge might have some merit...
Almost $11 billion right there.
Tell me this is a joke, that can't be correct???
Please tell me this is a joke?
Satire? Isn't 1.8 bil. for ACRON really in this “Stimulus”?
“144 million for a che guevara memorial?”
this is either a joke or it proves the insanity of liberal/communist/revolutionaries living freely and gainfully in a capitalist society.
absolutely out of their minds. (that’s my effing tax money that they’ve stolen for so many years.)
IMHO
“The only man dumber than Joe Biden”
I submit Robert Byrd for your consideration.The guy doesn’t even know if he’s wetting his pants.
It’s satire but it’s not far off, is it? lol
This is satire.
Only if we let Ms Kopechne’s surviving family members cut the ribbon at the opening ceremonies.Now THAT would be a photo op.
Only if it is named for Mary Jo!
Holleweird will get $2 billion for starlets’ breast implants......in keeping with the Dems’ urge to “stimulate.”
It’s not satire. It’s fake but accurate.
