Well the stimulus package passed in the Senate today with a vote of 61-37. Of course it wouldn't be right if we didn't thank our 3 Republicans who voted YES. (I hope Obama offered them something huge as I'm sure they will not be re-elected.) Way to go girls!Bipartisan has been thrown around the block over the past 3 weeks. I'm not so sure Obama gets it. This is not really a shame due to the Republicans, IT'S A SHAME BECAUSE THE POLLS SHOW that 61% of Americans do not support this Stimulus packet.
Obama can continue to blame the Republicans, but lets call a spade a spade... this spending bill is nothing but a spending bill.
I hope that as this bill goes back through the house and senate that the Democrats don't add back in the spending that was eliminated, as well I'm hoping they don't sneak in any NEW spending.
If I hear another Democrat say the Republicans are voting against this bill because they want to see Obama fail, I'm sure you'll find me and my 44magnum behind bars! This is another Liberal pile of PELOSI! If Obama fails, we all fail, it makes me laugh that dems seriously believe as Republicans we want to see Obama fail. No we want to see a Stimulus Package filled with PORK fail!
Let's face it, this is not a game. If you've read the bill you understand why the Republicans have stood firm on not voting for this bill. If you haven't read it ... YOU SHOULD. There is an obvious reason the Republicans are not voting for this bill. If you don't have a copy of the bill please read it here:
