they’re never going to.

I agree with Art. They either have to agree to vote with the majority of Rs or give up committee seats and assignments. And their new offices will be in the cloak room.

I just reference them in my “signature” with the URL to the different sites.

Let’s. It’s time. WTF are we even waiting for??

Because, now they have supposedly negotiated 790 billion in a single day and we are taking it lying down? Tea Party!!

the very last straw of this new administration. The Democrats’ brazen “will do as we please” tyrannical MO can only become worse as each day goes by.

How much outrage does it take? Is there not even one Republican leader who will call for an immediate and urgent press conference to inform all the American people that this is exactly the way the Democrats intend to “change” everyone’s lives – buy partisan brute force and behind closed doors? This needs to be done. Now!

How do you get all those icons at the bottom of your signature?

Nancy Pelosi is a left wing socialist who never intended to govern in a bi-partisan manner. She comes from the fantasy land of San Fran Cisco so words have different meanings out there. She has one purpose — to push here ultra-liberal agenda. You don’t want to get in her way. You’ll be trampled just as if you were between a pregnant woman and the bathroom door.

The ‘leaders’ of the Congress and Executive branch’s are both on record as declaring “open and transparent” government.
This whole process is everything that ISN’T open or transparent.
I don’t care, in this regard, if the stimulus bill will or won’t work.
The fact that three people are deciding this thing is an absolute outrage!
I don’t believe that even the most left minded person in the country really wants Obama, Reid and Pelosi making all the decisions, in secret, behind closed doors, without any input from anyone else.
Yet that’s EXACTLY what is happening.
And what are we the people going to do about it?
Write letters?
Send emails?
Call them out?
Answer pollsters with negative responses?
Revolt?
Declare that “Oh, the next thing is where we’ll rise up and hold someones feet to the fire”?
It may already be to late for anything but the 5th item, IMO.

If the Republicans fold on that, then the handwriting is on the wall: “Babylon is falling”.

Any chance that Democrats from RTW states would stand up against the bills, or will it require a united front on Senate Republicans (weak reed vs. weak Reid).

Hey, Speaker, what’s the catch?

For all the pundits on the Right who have caught Tingling Leg Syndrome (TLS) over the Obama Administration, let this be a wake up call.

The Obama Regime is not our friend.

And anyone with more than about 3 weeks working on the Hill, either as Member of Staff, could have told you so. Thanks to the Traitorous Three, they dont need Republican input or votes on this package anymore, other than an attempt to get the political cover of the ‘bipartisan’ stimulus package.

Actually, I hope the Democrats go absolutely crazy in conference on this bill, add hundreds of billions more to it, and then bring it back and ram it through with Democrat majorities. It’s not that I want to saddle our country with that future debt and socialism, but the more egregious the Democrats act on this, hopefully the Senate Republicans will learn their lesson and never other key legislation get past the filibuster firewall on phony promises for the next two years.

I for one dont want to see the Senate GOP repeat this mistake on health care, defense, guns, Social Security reform over the next two years, as in each case their will be some moderates who will want to ‘compromise’ only to have the same sellout happen.

I would rather the Democrats give it to them real hard, real brutal, right now, than to have some Senator 6 months from now lament that they voted for the assault weapons ban ‘compromise’ that barred magazines with a greater capacity than 10 rounds, only to find out the bill came back from conference banning all rifles excepting black powder muskets.

Unfortunately, Republican Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is missing an important part of his anatomy that would allow him to actually do that.

I think it would be better to hold their feet to the fire over card check. This one is only money. Card check is setting up a Socialist Labor Party with compelled contributions that in alliance with the Democrats has every intention of establishing the United Socialist States of America.

I don’t know if the leadership has the guts, but it is time for a “come to Jesus” talk in which you ask for their chit on card check and if they won’t give it, you throw them out of the caucus and out of their committee positions.
