The mass suicide of the Senate Republicans is nationally televised on C-Span 2 right now.

Don't miss it. This is their final freakout moment.

Savor it.

1. I take they are using the NOPEular option?

lol... :nuke:

I love the smell of fried "NOPE"ers in the morning....

2. I'm not sure what you're watching but ...

.. I'm seeing them get their freakin' tax cuts for their pals while actual stimulus spending to the bottom-most of the economic scale has been cast aside.

They're trying to put Obama into a position where he HAS TO sign this POS or risk looking like HE'S the 'obstructionist'.

Personally, I hope he has the stones to veto it and keep on vetoing it until they send him the plan he wanted in the first place, cause I don't trust any one of those fuckers - Dem or Rep in the Senate, and especially the assclown Moderates - to do right by the American People.

5. I see the same thing

We must be watching a different Senate than others.

9. Nice to know I'm not alone!!

:hi:

[LSK]

6. those are the middle class tax cuts Obama was talking about during the election

[Myrina]

8. Fine and dandy but tax cuts don't create jobs.

Direct spending of money at the state and local level creates jobs.
And people with JOBS spend money, which stimulates the economy & creates more jobs.
People with tax cuts tend to save that money - which they actually only see once a year - which doesn't help any of the above.

:shrug:

10. I disagree. The Democrats are getting the bulk of what they asked for.

And yes, those stupid-ass tax cuts are in there.

But, let these jerks go back to their respective states and ask their constituents to re-elect them after voting to KILL JOB CREATION.

Can't wait to see how this works out for them.

Obama has overwhelming public opinion behind him right now. He'll get his way.

This is just a big circle jerk with Limbaugh and Hannity in the pivot.

11. My eyes!

3. Here are the ones on the chopping block:

Richard Shelby of Alabama
Lisa Murkowski of Alaska
John McCain of Arizona
Johnny Isakson of Georgia

Chuck Grassley of Iowa
Jim Bunning of Kentucky
David Vitter of Louisiana

Up for re-election in 2010. Of course, I doubt OK or UT will turn, but these are the ones who are digging their own graves.

4. Thanks. I was trying to watch Hitchcock's Frenzy, but it wasn't downloading.

This should be equally as frightening. Oh, maybe that's more like disgusting.



Maybe comedy is more like it. I find it almost comical (in a sadistic kind of way) that they can be whining about a few billion dollars when their Iraq invasion cost trillions, and the meltdown is literally a magnitude greater in size. They're the ones who wanted to repeal Glass-Stiegal.

[Gregorian]

7. Oh, suddenly Republicans are all concerned about debt and waste.

They just had eight years of PARTY. And here they are pretending as though they are the ones who care about our future, debt, jobs for the middle class.

This is almost funny.

[backscatter712]

12. Yeah, they flush trillions down the toilet in Iraq, and now they're suddenly deficit hawks!

What a bunch of douchenozzles! :mad:
