So how many Repuke Senators are voting for the Stimulus Bill? And who are they?

[proud2BlibKansan]

I say Collins and Snowe but I think there is one more. And I can't figure out who than one more would be.

Any ideas?

1. Spector?

3. Yes could be

I post on a local board where one of the repukes claims to be an aide to Spector. I have been watching for him the last few days, thinking he will say something that indicates what his boss will do.

I know. It's the internet and anyone can claim to be anyone. But this guy has been there for a couple years and has a fair amount of credibility. And his absence during our debate on the Stimulus is rather revealing.

2. Specter and Collins.

From what I've read.

5. What about Snowe?

They keep saying on the teevee there are 3.

6. If there is a third, I would bet it is her.

I can only find Specter and Collins name for definites.

7. Snowe is the third:

10. Good deal

Now let's see if they really vote the correct way.

4. I wish Snowe and Collins would just switch parties.

In Maine "they would be welcomed as liberators."

12. what?!

No, Collins would not be welcomed as "a liberator" we worked hard to get her out of office.

8. Would it be better to have Dems in these states OR

to have 3 Republicans we can easily get on our side and make things look less partisan? I've been wondering about this. Would it be better if the vote were 61-39 with all 61 votes for it coming from Dems or 61-39 with 58 Dems and 3 Reps voting for it?

9. I think it was like 4 ... so what's the point?

We had 50 (52?) for the original plan, why gut it just to gain 4 freakin' token GOP votes?

Obama better veto this POS, is all I'm sayin'.

[proud2BlibKansan]

11. What?!

Do you really think he will veto it? I don't.

What are they taking out that is bad? I have been looking for details but haven't seen any yet.
