What pisses me off is how when the Republicans are given a chance to talk about it, they start talking about how the Democrats aren’t “bipartisan”. Who cares? This is a charge with as much substance as “You’re a poop!” or “You’re not being nice”. Think whatever you want about it, but it’s a fact that you can’t (yet) outplay Obama in the game of who’s being nicer. He comes across as a very nice person.

The criticism must be specific and to the point. Unfortunately, I suspect that if the Republicans start talking about pork that the Dems put in the bill, the Dems will have as much stuff on the Republicans.

Its not up to Steele and the RNC to punish them that would be Cornyn and the NRSC’s job. With holding support from the RNC hurts not just federal candidates but also efforts to recruit and support local and state candidates as well. Lay off Steele and let him do his job and punishing the turncoat trio is not it.

Also: Could someone kindly tell me what a Moby is? Besides the whale and the performer.

It comes from the performer a rabid lefty. He suggested lefties go on conservative sites and pose as “concerned Republicans” and then spout left wing talking points and talk about how much they like Obama. Observe the comments by atlanta voter.

The real betrayal of Specter, Collins, and Snowe
Screw these three RINO turn coats. The faster the gang of three are jettisoned from the Republican party, the better.

Don’t hold your breath… Steele is a WUSSY, so are most Republicans… If we had anyone with guts and balls we would have removed the three TRAITORS to AMERICA from the party INSTANTLY upon the vote…

The RNC and Steele along with Snowe, Collins and Specter are ALL coward, spineless bastards… They are DEAD to me!

I have called the RNC and left many messages, they will get NOT ONE MORE PENNY from me until they rid the party of these idiots. Have you called yet? Have you told the RNC?

Definitely not. I believe in free-market capitalism. I’m a loyal Republican. I just think the Country’s going to rally around the President in the end. I think President Obama has a a lot in common with Ronald Reagan.

I get this! A current “loyal Republican” can absolutely support Obama. He represents the current Republican Party! Big government! Big Spending! Big Regulations! Big Nanny State! There is no difference between Obama and the current Republican Party! If there is, where are they? I don’t hear a message from them?

But, to equate Obama with Reagan! That is the dumbest quote of the decade! Obama is a punk and Reagan would punch Obama in the nads and send him back to his mommy! All with a smile, of course…

Then act like it…

WELL???

MELT THE PHONES!!!

It will be interesting to see sarah say “Thanks but no thanks” to Alaska’s stimulus windfall.

Benny, you should check your local community college or even high school to see if they have a basic economics class available. Evidentally, you are a bit lacking in knowledge in that area.

The stimulus is NOT a windfall in any sense. The money has to come from somewhere.. ultimately the individuals who pay taxes.. BTW – Corporations do NOT pay taxes. That is just an illusion. All taxes ultimately fall on individuals.

What happens in your hero obamabi’s socialist nightmare is that money is confiscated with the barrel of a gun from producers. From there it is redistributed to non producers and to others based on political expediency, not economic fact. Along the way, the kleptocracy steals as much as it can.

Money is taken from those who would hire and buy and given to government idiots.

The market is far more rational in allocating scarce resources (all resources are finite). If you want to see what socialism is like, read Mig Pilot by Viktor Belenko. It leads to decaay, despair and brutalitiy.

I just overheard a bunch of people in a restuarant talking about their visit to cold war Russia.. That is NOT the world I want for my kids and grandkids.

You know benny, even though my roots are judeo-christian, I still believe in Karma. I don’t like that because I really am hoping that the liberals who shoved this down our throats are the first to suffer under socialized medicine.. You know , like the disaster in the UK and Canada.

Hey Benny babe, if socialism is so great, tell us why you haven’t moved your family to the people’s socialist paradise of Cuba??

Remove Collins, Snowe and Specter from ANY duties as Republicans. If Steele fails to act he gets ZERO money from me and ZERO support. My money will go to ANYONE other then these 4 IDIOTS and TRAITORS. If Steele fails to cut these morons off, then he get’s cut off, the RNC is cut off…

If we all sent Steele this message he would act. If we sit here and complain about the traitors but do nothing to “act” against them, they win, as does Obama. If we, as a party, held these folks up, cut them off VERY publicly, we would NOT have to worry the next time (and there WILL be a next) huge power grab by the Messiah happens. It will then be clear exactly where the Republican party stands.

Time to melt the phones, e-mails and faxes at the RNC.

Ah, what is another 600 billion, give or take.

Lose them fast…at last.

As far as the 3 CREEPS who betrayed the American taxpayers – well I see no reason to EVER go to the State of Maine and we will give money to anyone challenging Spector in the next election.

Unfortunately for him, the rest of the 300 million American’s don’t have the same opinion. I, for one,think he is a disgrace already and will continue to be.

His lone success will be to reunite the republican party to many victories in the future.

It will be interesting to see sarah say “Thanks but no thanks” to Alaska’s stimulus windfall.

Even if she does, the bill includes the ability of the state legislature to take it anyway. The game is rigged. Hope and change indeed!

Atlanta Voter on February 16, 2009 at 11:21 PM

You don’t even know how to say it right. Clearly you need to go back and do some more research, wait for open registration again, and make another attempt to masquerade.

I have to disagree with you and the post by Ed about one point. If the three stooges hadn’t been in the mix there wouldn’t have been a more bipartisan bill. Don’t get me wrong, Republicans have shown their love of government spending time and again until it makes me sick. But, if you think for a moment Obama would have given the GOP an inch you’re sadly mistaken. Obama thinks he is the messiah more than his kool-aid drinking cult of leftist thugs do. The GOP went into that first meeting with him ready and more than willing to make a deal. They really did try. Obama’s response? “I won so shut the hell up and take what I give you.” He isn’t going to let them suckle from his magic teat. Saying it would be different without the turncoats is ridiculous. And why should we want the GOP to get in bed with Obama? Because then the GOP is in bed with socialism. In bed with evil. Sorry for the long post.

As per Obambi’s suggestion that America could be saved by everyone checking their tire pressure and getting a tune-up I propose we do just that.

800 Billion buys = A $200 tune-up and a $12 digital tire pressure gauge for 3,773,584,905 cars. Given a conservative estimate that there are 65 million registered cars in America we can purchase a tune-up and tire gauge for every car, each year, for the next 58 years.

How many jobs would that create? Now that is change we can believe in….I wonder what throwing in a new set of tires would do to the numbers??? Back to the calculator!

It is sort of like a rattlesnake; it might bite the other guy, but I do not want it near me.
