4. Agreed to: A fucking total sellout - coming soon with the new 780b "compromise" ammendment

[ProSense]

5. "Agreed to" What are you talking about? If none of the Repub bills passed, what's left?

Dem proposals.

[Political Heretic]

6. Um... you're behind the news, I'm afraid.

What's left is the "bi-partisan" Blue Dog Dem / Republican amendment introduced today that they've been working on all week while shooting down all the other off the wall amendments.

It will be agreed to, and will gut much of the radicalness and progressiveness of the stimulus right out of the bill. Cuts the teeth right out of it.

Speaking tonight as sponsors of the Amendment were Lieberman, some Dem I want to punch in the face, and Republicans (Specter and someone). It's what Harry Reid has been waiting on all week, and its total bullshit.

[ProSense]

7. No, I'm not. The link is to current information. The rest is speculation. n/t

[Political Heretic]

8. It is NOT speculation - went to the floor TODAY

I watched it.... LIVE.
