Anybody watching the Repug. Bull*shit going on the Senate floor right now?

[dixiegrrrrl]

Thune just offered an amendment to give every married couple 10 grand cash.
Tried to completely bypass the bill on the floor.

Reid calling for cloture on Monday.

Why can't I just go to bed and beat myself with a hammer until the Repug. voices go away?????

1. That idiot with his "Lets give everyone under 250K a 5K ..." loan from China!

:crazy:

[me b zola]

8. Not everyone...

Just people who pay income tax. People who just pay payroll tax would not be eligible. :grr:

I'm glad it went down in flames.

9. Every time I tell another person that they need to call Congress I feel better.

Then I gradually start feeling bad again, until I talk to someone and tell them to call.

4. And if you are not married, you get...?

How about married same sex couples?

5. Singles get 5,000.00.

Marital status makes no difference.

The damn Repugs have spent the entire time complaing about
"government giveaways" and not one Dem, esp. Reid, has mentioned that
700 billion government giveaway to the banks.
Now the Repugs are stalling by adding countless stupid admendments, all of which are being voted down.

Screw it..I am going to bed and read something of no importance.

6. ok, so isnt this the grandest form of welfare????

The stimulas wants to put people to WORK. Thume wants to give people money for nothing. Whos the welfare queens???

7. The ammendment failed.

But that Thune has been a pain in the ass since this all started. When is enough going to be enough? Hasn't the bill been raped enough as it is?

10. you watching on TV???

I think the stream has a delay in it.

11. I'd watch if they passed out guns at this late hour to put themselves out of their own misery.
