Well, the stimulus is going to pass the house
Edited on Wed Jan-28-09 06:16 PM by FLAprogressive
barely....but we have the votes.

Every single Repuke voted against the stimulus (plus 11 reactionary Democrats -- who I'm sure the DCCC spent a fortune on)....stupid grandstanding losers.

Now the question is...how do we get this to pass the Senate? I say we actually let them filibuster -- no stupid "cloture" votes.

9. Yay! Olympia Snowe is the only one with a fucking conscience
We have to worry about idiots like Ben Nelson and Mary Landrieu though...plus the creationist buffoon Mark Pryor.

13. This will probably go down the same way Clinton's budget did. A success that the pukes voted against
It is still said to this day that it was a huge success that stimulated the economy and every republican voted against it.
