Free Republic after one post. Red State after three posts.

This is what I learned arguing with cons:

They want our President to fail in two wars and an economic crisis.

Torture is all Pelosi's fault.

They hate Meghan McCain and anybody that speaks ill of their leader, rush the radio entertainer.

Everything our President does is an outrage.

Finally, w and cheney are the best ever.

Banks win again.

We didn't draft these contracts. We've got a lot on our plate. But it is appropriate when you're in charge to make sure that stuff doesn't happen like this, so we're going to do everything we can to fix it.

So for everybody in Washington who's busy scrambling to try to figure out how to blame somebody else, just go ahead and talk to me, because it's my job to fix these messes even if I don't make them.

But what's just as important is that we make sure we don't find ourselves in this situation again, where taxpayers are on the hook for losses in bad times, and all the wealth that's generated in good times goes to those who are at the very top of the income ladder."

Bravo.

Move on.

It's not looking good for the President.

This disaster stinks to high heaven and hope the President comes clean and stops covering it up.

Put it all out there with the truth and let chips fall where they may.

Oh, heads will roll but this is getting out of control.

Three.

Lets wait for the final bill before you join the rest of the gop.

We are only at half time.

Vitter's amendment failed.

Reading both sides on the blogs I have found a bipartisan consensus.

Both sides hate this bill.

It is halftime after this vote. They go to a Senate House conference and may get some cuts back then vote in the House and Senate again.

Finally, the President signs it.

Eliminations:

Head Start, Education for the Disadvantaged, School improvement, Child Nutrition, Firefighters, Transportation Security Administration, Coast Guard, Prisons, COPS Hiring, Violence Against Women, NASA, NSF, Western Area Power Administration, CDC, Food Stamps

*****************************

Reductions:

Public Transit $3.4 billion, School Construction $60 billion

*****************************

Increases:

Defense operations and procurement, STAG Grants, Brownfields, Additional transportation funding

It's financial terrorism and we have been hit hard. Bankers are obl and government is the taliban.

Still no accountability and our obl still walk free and still making millions.

We are screwed.

It's pork.

Thanks.

The reception she received as she entered the State Department was great.

The start of the President Obama administration is flying with change and very impressive.

Much work to be done and I am confident they will succeed.

There is only one AA in the Senate.
