Obama's and the Democrats' Recovery Package, Budget Proposals, and Pork Spending Bills are like a heartworm in America! A heartworm. can affect your (dog's) heart, lung and other vital organs. It's almost like being suffocated from the inside when a unprotected America (dog) has heartworm.
A real heartworm that strangles its victim by suffocation

If anything, Pelosi said, Obama was being generous. "Quite frankly, I would have done it faster," she said, noting that the phaseout of top tier tax breaks will take years to complete. "It's not about raising taxes," Pelosi said. "It's about ending a tax cut." Pelosi also says Democrats are not going to slow walk health reform....

Simple question: Why has the GOP leadership not created a new Contract with America? Vanity/Sir Gawain How hard would it be to make a list of 5 or 10 simple, clear, concise items, that every single GOP candidate runs on in the next few election cycles? It just blows my mind that this is not already something the GOP has published and pimped to every news outlet in the country. I mean, am I going to have to do Michael Steele's job for him? 1. Identify a small, easily understandable list of issues that would...

What's This???? 153 Republicans Vote Yea to Curtail Debate on the Pork Filled Spending Bill
Posted on Thursday, February 26, 2009 7:41:53 AM by cc2k
For the past week, I've been posting about the "Omnibus Spending Bill" that the Dems have rammed through the congress. This $410 billion monster is for Fiscal Year 2009. They refused to do their job while Bush was in office and passed a continuing resolution last year to run the government until March 6. Now, they want big increases (even bigger than Bush would have approved), and they will get them with Obama's signature.
Minority leader Boehner has been sounding the alarm on this since Februrary 5th. He was calling on the Dems to publish the bill so Republicans could read it, and so that it could be made available on the Internet. He was trying to expose their plan to pass this in secrecy.
Why then, did Boehner vote to limit debate on this bill to only one hour? Even if your Congress critter did well and voted against the bill, if they voted to keep debate to just one hour, that was a bad call. These 153 Republicans voted to keep the public in the dark and rush this bill to a final vote. That's shameful. If your representative is one of the "Yeas" above, you should contact them and ask them why they thought a $410 Billion spending bill for an entire fiscal year was so trivial that it should only be debated for a single hour. And why they voted to proceed with the final vote less than a day after the bill was shown to the public.
