It passed ….. but every Republican voted against it. This is a very good day for the opposition. Because at the end of the day, socialism/communism is a failure. It’s a pox on humanity.
The economy is in trouble. The best manager is the free market. The worst is big, cancerous, government spending.
This will bite the leftards in the ass. Just give it time. The Republicans will be on the record.
“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of “liberalism,” they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.”
He went on to say… “I no longer need to run as a Presidential Candidate for the Socialist Party. The Democrat Party has adopted our platform.”
– Norman Thomas, the Socialist Party candidate for President, said this in a 1944 speech…
UPDATE: Here’s roll call and who voted what on House Resolution #1: the economic “stimulus” package (the only thing it is stimulated is more ACORN fraud, more junk science “global warming” scams, carbon capture projects, digital TV conversion couplonns, Smithsonian funding, billions in welfare bennies, more public school misedujumacation, blah blah blah
You have to love how they keep screaming emergency! emergency! This bill must pass! And yet the bill is a commie wish list. You can fool some of the people some of the time…..
Randall writes of the 11 brave men: (Democrats who voted against the Cosa Nostra)
The brave 11 Democrats which will be crucified later on are
Allan Boyd – Florida 2nd District
Bobby Bright – Alabama 2nd District
Jim Cooper – Tennessee 5th District
Brad Ellsworth – Indiana 9th District
Parker Griffith – Alabama 5th District
Paul E Kanjorski – Pennsylvania 11th District
Frank M. Kratovil Jr. – Maryland – 1st District
Walt Minnick – Idaho 1st District
Collin Peterson – Minnesota 7th District
Heath Shuler – North Carolina – 11th District
Gene Taylor – Mississippi 4th District
They have my full condolences. I laud their courage to say NO to their party on this pork-barrel 1548 page ripoff of the American taxpayer. I hope the American voter will note their action.
This is the greatest transfer of wealth in American history.
UPDATE: We want a repeat of principled Republicans to VOTE THIS VILE PACKAGE BY MOOCHERS AND LOOTERS to be VOTED DOWN IN THE SENATE.
STAND AGAINST THE FLEECING OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. DOWN WITH SOCIALISM. UP WITH INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS.
WORK YOUR PHONES AND KEYBOARDS
Rush Limbaugh’s stimulus package plan… Taken from the his OpEd piece in the Wall Street Journal.
This from the Pajamas Media blog:
Obama’s plan, neither bi-partisan nor a stimulus plan!
UPDATE: 4 February 2009:
More on the “crap sandwich” from the Illinois Review Blog…
1. The $825 billion package will exceed $1.1 trillion after the interest ($300 billion) to pay it back is added in.
2. The legislation could send billions of taxpayer dollars to groups like ACORN, which is under federal investigation for voter fraud.
3. The plan spends $650 million on digital TV coupons.
4. $600 million for new cars for the federal government.
5. $6 billion for colleges/universities — many of which have billion-dollar endowments.6. $50 million in funding for the National Endowment of the Arts.
7. $150 million for the Smithsonian Institution.
8. $44 million for repairs to U.S. Department of Agriculture headquarters in D.C.
9. The plan establishes at least 32 new government programs at a cost of over $136 billion.
10. The legislation increases by seven million the number of people who get a check back from the IRS that exceeds what they paid in payroll and income taxes.
FYI… The stock market, (and remember most of these guys are big Liberals and Democrats) have voted on the crap sandwich, i.e., stimulus package, by dropping the market over 2,000 points! They voted for the Messiah and now they vote against his policies!
From Michelle Malkin’s blog…
President Obama’s 2,000-point tumble
By Michelle Malkin • February 17, 2009 10:37 AM
On Nov. 4, after Barack Obama clinched the White House, the market closed at 9,625.28.
In mid-morning trading today, the day President Obama signs his massive Generational Theft Act into law and a day before he unveils a massive new mortgage entitlement, the Dow dropped to to 7,606.53.
Now, imagine if President Bush had presided over a 2,000-point stock market tumble in the same time period — during the first few months of his presidency.
Great start, O.
Just saying…
I like her point, what if a republican was in office and this happened??? We all know the answer…
More here: NEW YORK – Investors around the world are betting that even with government stimulus and bailout programs, the global recession will just have to run its course.
And what part of that comment did I not know! Bottom line is this— Government involved = more crap (see the great depression for history lesson). Less or NO government intrusion = the recession will run it’s course and we will come out of it in better shape, stronger companies, etc…
Here is another write up from the Illinois Review blog… Obama’s Business Punishment Plan!
My favorite passage from the above article:
Back to “Big Brother” Barry’s ambition. I’ll bet Hugo Chavez thinks of him as something of an honorary son, and has reason to be proud. Obama’s disdain for the private sector and liberty would appear to make him a chip off the old Venezualan block. The similarities between Chavez and Obama are worth consideration:
- Chavez just accomplished the abolition of presidential term limits and some libiot congressman proposed doing the same in this country shortly before the dark day of the Obama inauguration.
- Chavez shut down voices of opposition through licensing of media outlets and “Big Brother” Barry’s acting FCC stooge wants to silence conservative talk radio in the same fashion.
- They are both fond of domestic terrorist William Ayers.
