Endangered species? - THE RINO'S (Republicans in Name Only)
Snowe Collins Specter
The Senate today finally reached a preliminary agreement on a $780 billion "porkulus" spending bill. The day before, after the jobless numbers were released President Obama, the Prophet of Doom, proclaimed for all to hear: "These (unemployment) numbers demand action. It is inexcusable and irresponsible for any of us to get bogged down in distraction, delay and politics., while millions of Americans are being put out of work." He then went on a rant about inheriting the economy from Bush the Terrible.
Well, his Chicken Little inspirational speech must have worked. The 58 Democrats in the Senate are all in favor of this terrible bill. Are they all that stupid or is Clueless Harry Reid, the Senate Majority Leader, that persuasive? Of course, to get the 60 super majority they need to pass this boondoggle, the Democrats, after adding billions to the Pelosi House bill, "allowed" RINO's (Republicans In Name Only) Susan Collins, Olympia Snowe, and Arnold Specter into the room to modify the original bloated proposal.
Presto Change-O. These three liberal loser Republicans jumped on board and worked with White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel to get a bill "suitable" to these three morons. The bill hasn't passed yet, but these three Republicans are notorious liberals.
Perhaps a last minute phone blitz by angry constituents from Maine and Pennsylvania will convince these three big spenders to wake up. Someone needs to remind them that NO Republican voted for this pork laden bill in the House and the intelligent Republicans in the Senate voted against it. Perhaps Snowe, Collins and Specter will wake up and smell the rancid pork.
If this is an example of a "bi-partisan" bill, then America is in real trouble until 2010.
Obama is going to Elkhart, Indiana on Monday to push for this stupid bill before a town-hall meeting. Rumor has it that there are still two people employed in this town. Instead why doesn't the President go on a 10 day tour of all the high unemployment, tax and spend states like Rhode Island, New York, Michigan and California? These states are all bankrupt from decades of entitlements, high taxes and out of control spending, just like Washington. Surely he will be welcomed in these states as a conquering hero.
CHANGE, Yes We Can. Nothing has changed in Washington, except we now talk in trillions of dollars instead of billions.
