Well, the stimulus is going to pass the house |

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.
