Pork 'Em
It will soon be time for round two and hardball politics. Here is the plan:
1. Load it up with as much pork as possible.
2. Not one dime for the 177 districts whose representatives voted no this time.
3. Not one dime in areas that principally support the anti-stimulus Senators.
4. Load up on extra porky pork for just enough "moderate" Republican Senators so they have no choice but to vote for it.
5. Push it through on a no negotiation, party line (plus 2 "moderate" Republican Senators) vote.
6. Tell them on round 3, it will be the same, except all current federal commitments in those 177 districts and other areas will be canceled to pay for the pork for the positive votes. Draft the bill and have it ready to go.
In other words, it is time to crush the opposition.
