He's released a movie since then, and nobody paid attention.  That said, it was released for free, so everyone probably just ignored it.  I know I did.

Sicko pissed me off to no end because he could have made a good case for universal healthcare, but his fat ass had to slant the whole thing up and make the movie easy to attack.  That could have been a slam dunk.

Looks like Republicans have officially killed bipartisanship with Obama once and for all. Politico is reporting that Obama will no longer focus on trying to work with Republicans but will spend more time on the trail doing more town halls.

Quote
Politico: Obama to Seize on Bolder Strategy

The president reportedly plans to be tougher selling the next stages of his economic agenda than he was with the stimulus.

Expected to travel more and worry less about winning over Republican votes.

Wise move, Republicans killed bipartisanship so Obama is going to focus on what he does best, doing big events in front of the public. Better to try and win the public than the republicans in congress.

How much did the stimulus bill end up costing? 800 billion? How is the fed going to repay this? There are two ways. Increase revenue (taxes) or print more money which will cause massive inflation.

All I'm saying is that I will have long gone on a meth binge or eaten by sharks before the government decides to do either.

According to Arlen Specter, more GOP Senators support the stimulus but didn't vote for it because they're pussies.

Quote
Sen. Arlen Specter (R-PA), who broke with his party to support President Obama's stimulus package last week, said before the final vote Friday that more of his colleagues would have joined were they not afraid of the political consequences.

"When I came back to the cloak room after coming to the agreement a week ago today," said Specter, "one of my colleagues said, 'Arlen, I'm proud of you.' My Republican colleague said, 'Arlen, I'm proud of you.' I said, 'Are you going to vote with me?' And he said, 'No, I might have a primary.' And I said, 'Well, you know very well I'm going to have a primary.'"

Specter won his primary in  2004 by 51-49, barely squeaked by. And with this move he is going to have a hell of primary battle facing him soon.


Good for him. This is what real politicians need to do. I disagree with Specter  on most things but man, this is what a fucking senator is elected to do.

The thing is, if PA didn't have closed primaries Specter would probably win his primary.  But indies can't vote in PA primaries, and the PA GOP has been bleeding membership for the past couple of cycles so all that's left are the nuttiest of wingnuts.  Basically, if Specter loses that seat is guaranteed to flip because PA at large isn't interested in another Rick Santorum.

Other states liable to flip to blue- OH, FL, MO and now NH where all four have retiring GOP Senators.

God, that's bullshit.

Bullshit?

Specter didn't do this for political reasons. His vote is near suicidal for him politically. His problem is not the general election in PA, he doesn't need to work with Democrats to win his seat or whatever. His problem is the primary, he won his primary in 2004 51-49. 2% that's it. And the type of Republicans that are still left in PA who didn't leave the party are the wacko right-wingers. And his vote on this is a huge problem for him in a already tough primary fight. If he was doing it for "bullshit" political reasons he would have voted against it, his problem in PA is keeping the Republicans in line and this vote hurts him on that.

So no, what he did and said is not bullshit.

Dems will be getting a supermajority in 2010.

The GOP has no chance.  If the stimulus fails, it can be blamed on the GOP because they wanted to take a lot of important provisions out.  Plus this was the party that backed Bush.  Americans can be forgetful but not after just two years.  If the economy gets better by even a hair, it will be called as an Obama victory (whether he did anything to it or not).  The GOP on the other hand is focusing on ACORN.  This is a party that seems focused on shooting themselves in the foot.

so my Republican senator voted against the stimulus bill, but she's telling local groups here in Alaska to get their shit together so they can grab some of dat sweet Obama monies.
Quote from: Anchorage Daily News
"All last week, we would have different groups come in, whether it is people advocating for Head Start and Child Care, to folks from Chevak. Everybody kind of wants to know: 'What would be in it for us' " said Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski, who despite the pleas, intends to vote against the stimulus package...
Although Murkowski doesn't intend to vote for the stimulus package, she said she does like some provisions in it, including money that could help pay for hospitals in Barrow and Nome. She said she has told groups such as the Alaska Federation of Natives to "get your grant writers ready" despite her own trepidations about the bill.

"I'm looking at what is moving forward now," Murkowski said. "The votes are clearly there for passage of the economic stimulus. And I think our job now is to do our darnedest to make sure the dollars are being directed to the agencies, out to the states, that we really ensure that there's a level of accountability, and to the fullest extent possible, that we're making sure that those dollars are being spent in a matter that's going to help people."


"Does my state want the money?  Sure.  Will it be spent on cool stuff like building new hospitals?  yeah I guess.  Will I vote for it?  Absolutely not.

Anger, building...
