You guys should watch CSPAN2 today. They are debating the stimulus bill in the Senate.

[Dawgs]

It's getting pretty hot in there.

Lindsay Graham is screaming and yelling about bi-partisanship. He got interrupted by Boxer and Durbin to ask why he didn't act this way under Bush.

If nothing else, it's entertaining.

1. Sen. Boxer was great, btw

Sen. Graham was waving the printed Jobs bill around and she caught him on it.

"Did the Senator ever theatrically wave one of the bills George Bush sent to the Senate around?"

LOL! Lindsey promptly resumed his bloviating theatrics without shame, as is his usual course of action.

[jillan]

3. Lindsay got so flustered after that. It was great.

[TayTay]

8. IT really was.

More of this please, Senate Dems.

Call them on their hypocritical BS.

[goclark]

7. Boxer has a #1 fan in goclark

She should be the first woman president of the United States.

[The Hope Mobile]

41. I couldn't agree more!!! Boxer in '16!!!

She'd blow Sarah's socks off!!

[The Hope Mobile]

38. She always is!! I loves me some Barbara!!!

I wish there were more like her!

[goclark]

56. She has a spine and can speak clearly , unlike some

of the other spineless wonders.

Boxer is amazing!

[jillan]

2. Ha - I just posted the same thing.

Dems are on fire today. Great fight.


I have soooo much to do, but I can't break away.

[renate]

4. thank you for the link!

For some reason I totally forgot I could watch it on the computer.

[bdamomma]

5. oh wow, I wish the Dems would keep on bringing up Bush and

why nothing was done in 8 years to stop their reign of terror.

I hope Barbara Boxer strikes back hard. Love her.

[Marrah_G]

6. Damn I wish I wasn't at work !

[Dawgs]

9. Forget it for now.

Max Baucus is speaking. Fuck, he's more boring than McCain.

Let Boxer speak.

[jillan]

10. What is he even talking about?

I have a hard time listening to him.

He seems so unorganized in his thoughts and his elocution is terrible.

[Dawgs]

12. Agree. It's frustrating because Boxer wanted to use his time and she was ready to fight.

He's just terrible, and not what we need right now.

[spanone]

11. i'm listening to my repuke senator whining about debt....never said a fucking word about it before

these clowns are entertaining

republic debt good, democrats debt bad.....

lamar alexander......pffft

[Catshrink]

19. Yeah. Never a word about it when * spent us into,

as Barney Frank says, "the largest appropriations bill in history" meaning the Iraq War.

Or the irresponsible tax cuts to *'s base that robbed the treasury of needed revenue and created the largest redistribution of wealth in our nation's history.

Screw the hypocrisy!

[bdamomma]

21. can someone tell Lamar to sit down please.

I heard him he wants a separate bill for everything, what a jerk he is, they just want to hold up everything don't they?

[jillan]

13. Why are all these republican assholes crying about bi-partisanship?

What more do they want?

[spanone]

14. to republics, bipartisanship means we pass all of their amendments

[jillan]

16. And then that whiny baby Graham was screaming because 16 Senators

Dems AND Repukes are in a room somewhere working on a compromise.

Seriously - do they even have any clue how insane they sound?

[Dawgs]

20. That's exactly what they are saying.

Todays argument is that the American people don't like it and want the Republicans to fix it.

It's insane.

[bdamomma]

22. they want those tax cuts.

[spanone]

15. they might as well go ahead and vote. these assholes are not going to vote for it regardless

dear lamar STFU

[jillan]

17. Did I just hear that right? Lamar Alexandar said that bsh didn't need congressional approval to go

to war?

OMG! Someone send him a copy of the Constitution.

[Ichingcarpenter]

18. Sen. (d) Cantwell is on now .... but all the other networks show repugs

Speaking on their channels...... funny isn't it?

[bdamomma]

23. oh, I wish we could just storm the Senate and say to the repigs

you got us into this mess, and just STFU!!!

[bdamomma]

24. Schumer on now, he can be jerk sometimes but he gives a good argument.

Schumer is doing good.

[jillan]

25. I love how Durbin took down Coburn's argument in a matter of minutes.

Durbin is on fire today.

Schumer doing good.

[bdamomma]

26. oh boy, Schumer is reading the repigs the riot act.

you can't get everything you want or something like that!! oh boy, call Schumer's office he is giving it to the repigs!!

The American people want action, wow Schumer is giving it to them.

oh, Schumer is good.

[jillan]

27. I liked it when he said - if you don't like what you call pork - then ask to have it taken out of

the bill, but don't use it as an excuse not to vote for this bill. haha - you go Schumer.

Now he just called the repugs out of touch :)

[bdamomma]

28. yes, great he is right the repigs ARE out of touch.

is the majority of southern repigs bitching and moaning. Senator from Mississippi is on.

[jillan]

29. Inhoufe - get your barf bags ready.

[jillan]

30. Wicker - is he new? Blaming Congress for the natl debt instead of Bsh.

Blaming the Dems for this debt - ahahhahaha

[bdamomma]

32. they are grasping for straws. unbelieveable crap.

the repigs are afraid that this bill will work, that is why they are trying to stop it, when have they ever done anything good for the American people, god I am angry!!

[The Hope Mobile]

46. exactly!! That's why Rush wants Obama to fail. They're scared

shitless that we're going to expose their corruption, mismanagement, and all around patheticness by doing things the way they should've always been done. They're fighting tooth and nail to maintain the status quo. Screw the country and the people. They just want to keep lining their pockets on our dime.
Such bullshit!!!

[bdamomma]

31. oh boy, if any of you guys have repigs for Senators call them

and tell them stop moaning and whining and pass the damn bill!!!!!

[bdamomma]

33. oh shut the F up!!

oh here we go, Inholfe wants all the repigs to stick together and go for the McCain bill. Call this jerk's office up. Now he is talking about Gitmo. Oh, these guys have got to go. They want to continue torturing people. I can't listen to this guy anymore. Is he saying we can't guard criminals correctly and we need to torture people give me a break and get off the floor!!!

[MiniMe]

34. WTF?? Inhofe going on and on about Gitmo

What does this have to do with the stimulus?

[bdamomma]

35. nothing. distract distract and more distracting.

they just don't get it at all. just keep bitching and moaning and let his time run out. Yield the floor huh?

[jillan]

36. He just said that he has never seen a prison where prisoners are cared for better than at Gitmo.

He said we even give coloscopies! hahahaha - what a nutcase.

[bdamomma]

37. is he one of those jerks who is going to check out Gitmo.

watch them come back with glowing stories of keeping it open, are they taking orders from Cheney in his transitional office!!!

[jillan]

39. Maybe he can go down there and get a colonoscopy.

I'm sure he is going to do all he can to stop Gitmo from closing.
I sincerely question this man's sanity, and even more so question the people who voted for him.

[bdamomma]

40. Thank goodness Inholfe is off the floor.

what a stupid stupid man. oh Rockefeller just said no from asking a question from Inholfe. Woo Baby Rockefeller is not yielding to Inholfe question.

[MiniMe]

42. I'm loving Rockefeller right now. Chastises Inhoffe then refuses to yield with him

Tries to make the chair make him yield, and the chair says no. Very amusing session.

[bdamomma]

44. Senator Whitehouse is sitting in the chair. Good person to have there now.

[bdamomma]

43. I am going to put out a red alert, call your Senators even if they

are repigs and tell them to pass this bill. Thanks.

[jillan]

45. I can't get thru. The circuits are busy.

I'm hoping that's a good sign.

[bdamomma]

48. keep trying even if you have a send an e-mail or a fax.

busy sign is a good sign.

[jillan]

51. Finally got thru - I reminded McCain that he lost largely due to his economic policies.

Now off to call my other asshole Senator - Kyl!

[bdamomma]

47. Geez, no GPS system for planes??

I didn't know that. We are in analog mode for planes. God, we are in the dark ages.

[bdamomma]

49. they want to go with the McCain bill which is 420 billion dollars

oh crap, Kay Bailey sit down please. Tax cuts too are included with that, they love those tax cuts, oh, I just can't stand it, they just do not get it. McCain bill is for Infrastructure and defense that is their whole key. Just give more money to defense unbelieveable.

[jillan]

52. And wasn't it just a few months ago that one of our defense contractors lost a big, huge job to a

foreign country because they could build the planes cheaper??

[bdamomma]

50. Kay Bailey trying to mind read what Americans feel about this Bill.

get off the floor please. wants the McCain amendment to be passed saying that 46% of the American people voted for McCain.

Shut up and sit down.

[Pryderi]

53. "Make sure it's done right" -Wicker (R)

How would Republicans know how to help the economy???

[bdamomma]
