Then just go ahead and pass that debt bill of yours, over our objection.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) told reporters Thursday that he has enough votes to pass a more than $900 billion stimulus bill out of the Senate.
Reid said he believes at least two Republicans of “good will” would support the Democratic-crafted package.
Note, by the way, that this is as-is: the Democrats aren’t inclined to give the moderates even the 200 billion that they’re trying to cut. But no matter: if Reid has the support to pass his party’s debt bill, then he does, and it’s long past time for the Democrats to take ownership of this.
So go ahead, already. Pass your bill.
Note: “your.”

Can we have a
10ksnooker (Diary) Thursday, February 5th at 2:09PM EST (link)recovery time line with that trillion dollars?
Spector - yes, Voinovich - No, Collins - unsure, Snowe - unsure
nivlem (Diary) Thursday, February 5th at 2:25PM EST (link)I jsut spoke to each of their offices. The above is the response I received.
Collins (202) 224-2523
Snowe (202) 224-5344
Voinovich (202) 224-3353
Specter (202) 224-4254
We should not have anyone voting with them on this deplorable bill. It is obvious the Democrats have no “good will” towards my children and grandchildren. Why would any Republican continue to show ‘good will” toward them?
If Specter Vote Yes, He Needs To Be Primaried
IJB Thursday, February 5th at 7:52PM EST (link)It’s just that simple. He hasn’t done (nearly) enough other things right to overlook a “Yes” vote on this joke of a bill.
A “Yes” vote = Take him *out*.
Even McCain and Graham are against it
scarlos (Diary) Thursday, February 5th at 11:17PM EST (link)and they’re not exactly pristine examples of Conservatism.
Specter should be ashamed of himself for even considering to vote yes for this piece of crap.
Socialism is Oligarchy in disguise

I tried calling, but...

Lindsey Graham is calling Obama out over this

Republican Senators: JUST VOTE NO!!!!!

About time he got a pair..
nivlem (Diary) Thursday, February 5th at 3:36PM EST (link)He couldn’t vote against Goetner (sp?) because, as his staff told me, 80%
of people make the same mistake when paying taxes. I and, I am certain, many others gave them an earful on that one.
Everytime Lindsey Graham gets called on something, he turns around and
throws the Republicans a bone. Then he plays his old “gang of” game
and steps on us again.
Cheers for him standing up this time. Major cheers if he TRULY does develop a
pair, and protects us rather than compromising again.
e-mail these Senators?
kweiss01 Thursday, February 5th at 2:50PM EST (link)e-mail doesn’t quite have the punch of a phone call, but since I couldn’t get through on the phone, here are the web contact addresses for the above Senators:

I emailed all four,
Praying (Diary) Thursday, February 5th at 3:27PM EST (link)and left messages with the office staff of everyone but Collins that I urged the senator to vote NO on the democrat’s obscene spending bill. I didn’t think to ask which way they were leaning, so thanks for that update – I just can’t imagine ANYONE in their right mind (OK, so there’s the explanation) voting to burden our future generations with this – not to mention the heavy embrace of socialism this bill brings with it. Cannot the GOP senators vote for the 87% of republican voters who OPPOSE the bill? Geez. Losers.
