and let a GOP Senator sit it out to offset his vote and then close things down?

..but on C-SPAN the vote is still open waiting on the 60th vote.

With this display, I can say that the majority of Democrats are traitors.

Something to chuckle over.

now bend over and take it.

n/t

Besides, time is so relative.

I have no problem with them holding the vote open for several hours. However, if you announce an end time, that is it. He doesn’t get to vote after 10:30. Period.

Anybody know what the record books say?

But it would be fitting if the murder of legislative process ends with another dubious record.

You just missed it by 3 minutes.

Except in the midst of all this crisis and need for speed, he took off the long weekend hours ago.

The Democrats officially have sunk to an all new low for Nancy Pelosi to go on vacation, and the traitor Republicans, change your party now. I have a huge family in PA and I warned spector that I would get my family to vote against him, so enjoy Spector, you sold out, long walk short pier you know the drill.

On to my thought I call a crash on Monday markets closes down with the Dow dropping 650 to stop the bleeding, pull 20% of your funds immediately …. precious metals. etc

The Dems spend most of their post-vote news conference bashing the Reps. How typical.

Where are the Global Warmests? …. Was there a special $1M in the Stimulus to have the plane standing by waiting to shuttle him around? …. Where are the ETHICS investigations?? …. etc…..

of this…the man’s mother died

“Are you willing to spend time studying the issues, making yourself aware, and then conveying that information to family and friends? Will you resist the temptation to get a government handout for your community? Realize that the doctor’s fight against socialized medicine is your fight. We can’t socialize the doctors without socializing the patients. Recognize that government invasion of public power is eventually an assault upon your own business. If some among you fear taking a stand because you are afraid of reprisals from customers, clients, or even government, recognize that you are just feeding the crocodile hoping he’ll eat you last. (October 27, 1964)”

President Ronald Wilson Reagan
(God bless his soul – may he rest in peace)

Below is a youtube with Reagan (From the 1961 Operation Coffee Cup Campaign against Socialized Medicine as proposed by the Democrats, then a private citizen Ronald Reagan Speaks out against socialized medicine. There is no video because this was an LP sent out by the American Medical Association):

At least, that’s what average Americans will think when they turn into MSM broadcasts tomorrow, and hear NOTHING about tonight’s shenanigans.

Americans will now see what is in the big pork sandwich, and they aint gonna like it…. I have had just about as much as I can stand of these people in DC

‘Allo allo, first time poster, long time eye roller.

Below this comment entry field it says “Be respectful”… So how about we try and be respectful of the man’s loss? Can you all seriously tell me that, were the situation reversed (let’s say that Republicans needed one vote to stop this bill, and that voter was delayed by the death of his mother), that you all would be fine with similar countdown to the minute nonsense from Democrats?

Believing that you all are decent people, I have to believe the answer would be no. So why don’t you deal with your frustrations in way other than with comments like, “Sorry Mom, got to go get some spending money.” That’s just disgraceful.

“take your holier than thou somewhere else. Browns actions are unimaginable for me.”
At least you didn’t put that in the same post as the one about your grandmother, the contradiction might have destroyed the interwebs.

My mother died of ovarian cancer. My grandmother had a heart attack and then fell over, breaking her neck. We’ve all experienced loss, although, I’ll assume neither of us had legislation ramifications quite as awesome as this bill weighing on us at the same time. I am glad that you were there to share that time with your family and I am sorry for your loss. But this man had more than just an ordinary job to do. Many of those that you disagree with feel this is historically important legislation. Sometimes the needs of the many, the millions of Americans, exceed the needs of the few, even if they are your own grieving family. I am sure that this is something he was not looking forward to having to do.

Again, I’m sure you disagree on that point. Still, lets say you were this senator, and you did decide to stay home on this vote. And then some snot on the internet said, “She’ll still be dead tomorrow, why couldn’t he vote?”

Point being, I think it’s being much more “holier than thou,” to assume that you’re the authority on how one should grieve.

Larger point being, if the tables were turned and R’s were D’s and vice versa, I don’t think you’d take kindly to the lack of respect. You can say otherwise but I certainly wouldn’t believe you.

“Sometimes the needs of the many, the millions of Americans, exceed the needs of the few”

The needs of many would mandate refusal of the porkulus.

Full Stop.

Just woke up with FOXnews on the TV. I can’t believe our legislators have sold our country. How will I explain this to my children/grandchildren?

My final points, when in the history of the Congress was something this large pushed through in such a short amount of time? Never, so why did we take less than a month to do this and then give the United States citizens less than 24 hours to read the final version?

Next, I answered your question, I would be pretty disgusted with Senator Brown if he had a R next to his name, for getting back to push a bill like this through over the death of mother. Sorry, that is just the way it is, and if you haven’t noticed this is a website for the conservative thought and discussion, so if you expected anything but the sniping you saw you are kidding yourself; however, lighten up.

Next, your comments are based on your unsubstantiated knowlege of the Americans need for a stimulus. I contend this is not the case, the same went for Republicans when Bush was President with the last one. Trust me, I was angry with the Republicans for doing that last TARP bill. I read this bill, and the gravity of it is so far reaching that Americans that want to read it need to be given the time to do so. To me, Senator Brown trucking back to Washington tells me something, it is especially a bad bill that had Americans know what was in it they would be angry. There is nothing stimulating about this bill, it is Government spending to increase its size and scope. That is it. That is why I told you to read the darn bill, open your blind eyes to the fact that this is a disaster waiting to happen.

Next, the Democrats voted with the Republicans in the House to allow 48 hours to review the bill. Did they get that, NO. The Democrats did nothing they promised to do, Nothing; therefore, the logic that there are things in here that would never fly for the American people.

Next, Tax Cuts are more effective than Government Spending. It is the quickest way to infuse the economy with money immediately. Those tax cuts include reduction in income taxes, captial gains, corporate tax rates, etc. Government expansion takes time and spending is horribly slow even in the DoD. If you worked in it you would understand it.

Shall I go on?

The proof will be available as time goes on. That’s the beauty of this. We’ll see how effective (ineffective) the “stimulous” is in a reasonably short period of time. Hello 2010!

You must master one of the following two options:

1) Reply to this
2) Silence.

Take your pick.

Once this hulking piece of dog doo gets exposed to the light of day it will be like a boat anchor on Obama. This will weigh him down and once those democrats start getting calls for their heads I wonder how many will reverse course and not have some much enthusiasm for more bailouts, nationalized medicine and more stimulus packages? You know this package was just throwing the dogs a bone to get them out of the house. Now Obama wants to start the re-model of America to suite his liberal vision.

Let’s just see how long it takes until Obama’s own democratic congress throws him under the bus?????
