I’m calling McCaskill *and* Bond. Bond – so he knows he’s got support and doing the right thing. McCaskill – so she’ll sweat a little bit more and sleep a little bit less.

The Ds need to be as nervous about this as a whore in church. They are going to make a $#!^ sandwich and feed it to us. They need to be worried that there are enough of us to throw it right back in their faces.

The fact that idiots like these actually consider themselves to be “experts” in deal-making and negotiation when it’s obvious they haven’t the first clue what they’re doing.

Worse, they then go around acting as if they’re the last “fiscal conservatives” left on the damn planet!

Let’s see it lose another 12% (37 – 12 = 25% approval rating – about what President Bush had…)

voting for a Democrat, for any reason, is no solution…. Amazes me how there are still some people that haven’t learned that when voting for a “pretender” in the Democrat party (or, even some real conservatives as Democrats) that it just empowers the Socialists/Progressives at the Top of that JackAss Party…. And then they (these “supposed” Blue-Dog “Conservative”), or most, CAVE to Democrat Party leadership in order to ensure they get their Campaign funds padded by the DNC!!!

BPD (Bi-Partisanship Disease): by the RedState Players

Warning lights are flashing down at GOP control
Obama’s Stimulus is Pork and will dig us a bigger hole
Theres rumors on the Talk Radio and anger in the town
Somebody blew the whistle and the walls came down
Theres meetings in Senate backrooms theyre trying to trace the smell
Theres Radicals in the Captial to Lead the Liberal personnel
Somewhere in the corridors someone was heard to sneeze
goodness me could this be BI-PARTISAN disease?

The caretaker was crucified for sleeping at his post
Theyre refusing to be pacified its him they blame the most
The watchdogs got rabies the foremans got fleas
And everyones concerned about BI-PARTISAN disease
Theres panic on the switchboard tongues are ties in knots
Some come out in sympathy some come out in spots
It was Fannie’s Liberal mis-management Democrats blame GOP
And everybody knows its the BI-PARTISAN disease

……

How come McCain had BI-PARTISAN disease -or- even Bush 43 had BPD

because he is retiring. Although it would be funny to have his office get flooded with angry phones, so he can cry on the Senate floor again.

I’ve been trying and trying to get through on the phones to the senators but either get a busy signal or am told their voice mail box is full. It seems like they’re being inundated with calls, and I suspect those calls are to vote “no.” But it doesn’t seem like they’re listening.

RedState did an excellent job going after the folks in McCain’s circle who sandbagged Sarah Palin. Can we do the same for these four so-called Republican Senators threatening to vote for this spending bill?

Way better than witnessing more than one half of Repubs in the Senate in favor of Porkulus bill….

If that happens, at least we can claim that only four Repubs (all Senators) voted in favor of it, which hardly makes it a bi-partisan (or as some say, post-partisan) bill.

There is no way anyone can call themself a Republican–any variation of conservative, moderate or even liberal–and vote for this bill. I don’t know if Collins, Snowe, Spectre, or Voinovich even cares, but their piddling votes don’t change this legislation one iota. The Democrats own it, and the suppine cowardice of a very tiny handful of Republicans will not alter that fact one iota.

What to watch is whether any Democrat has the moral courage to vote against this catastrophe. My guess is no.

Let Obama/Reid/Pelosi have their bill without one single (R) vote. Make them own it, and not be able to say a thing about partisan interference. We will end up with something that's absurd, there's no question about that.

It would be soooooo easy to stand for tax cuts for everyone. Giving everyone some of their own money back.

John and Joanne Smith from Oregon get a tax cut as well as John Q Public in Maine.

Who did they vote for? See is does not matter tax cuts are the ultimate equality stimulas.

It’s immoral to pile so much debt onto the backs of our children. But I’ll keep calling and also ask that they put the E-Verify system into any bill that passes to ensure that any jobs created go to citizens and not illegal immigrants — as the Heritage Foundation said the other day that the Senate stimulus plan as is, without E-Verify, would cause 300,000 jobs to go to illegal aliens.

I’d like to see one more weekend newscycle to expose the bill.
