I called as many senators as I could on Monday night. The three RINOs voicemail were full. McCain’s was full. I did leave a message for Jeff Sessions, I think he is a hero of the conservatives, wish we had more like him.

I just head that three more might switch to a yes vote. If so I will call and leave them messages too, that is if VM is not full.

I left a very long mesage for one of mine, John Kerry,he is so arrogant he never responds to us.

I dont’ agree with anything Ted Kennedy does, but I have to give him and his staff credit, the man is gravely ill and he has his staff respond to me, explaining his point of view, but at least he does respond. Kerry is a complete idiot.

I was pumped up after rush’s monologue today predicting groundswell backlash and “payback” for socialist legislators using the very same government power that they helped grow to such monstrous proportions. But I fear it’s more of the same over-optimism predicting public outrage that never comes. It just never comes.

I hope Rush was right.

From where I’m sitting, this looks like a fight to keep the GOP’s name off of this monstrosity of a debt bill; and the increasingly-frantic efforts of the Democrats to associate us with it tell you everything that you need to know about who’s winning it.

I mean, come on. Obama’s *campaigning* for this? Bless his heart, why?

the only choice we have is how they win and how much blood we can leave on the floor, preferably theirs.

and I’m no fan of playing that way.

But this Porkulus, give-America-away bill literally could not be stopped. No chance in hell. So we might as well get all the mileage out of if that we can.

It’s a sophomoric canard I’ve seen repeated on blogs and forums going back to the first Clinton term.

that is totally pro-Obama/Dems/Libs/stimulas.

Message to Republicans keep getting the message out. But use the scariest most absurd parts of the bill to illustrate the stupidity of the whole thing. Keep talking about the condoms and the Acorn money and the “let the old people die” provisions.

This must be a unified effort and non-stop to have a chance to break through to the public.

RNC an Ad idea have a member of congress come to a nursery and pick the pocket of the kids or a school yard taking the kids lunch money. as that who will eventually have to pay for this crap.

You can expect to be critisized no mattter what you do just remember this is a war that can have only one winner socialism or freedom.

…but I still fail to see how this is going to matter in two (or especially in four) years, when a majority of the population has become dependent on the government for a job, for their healthcare, for their education, for their survival.

If the Dems can drive down the economy enough in a short time and place enough people under their thumb, in a union or on welfare or on the government payroll, then it won’t matter whether or not people “trust” them on the economy. Most people in this country are stupid and self-interested enough that they’re never going to vote against their own well-being in the short term, even if it means their old age is going to be miserable and they’ll ruin the country for their children.
