.....babies on incubators will be allowed to die.....There will be socialized medicine. .....Communism will rule and people will be killed."

- A CSPAN WJ caller's take on the stimulus bill just a minute ago. No bullshit.

They are so ruled by fear. It's almost sad.

3. I think there's something in the bill that stops the hiring of illegals.

I don't know what it is but the homebuilders were upset about something the other day. They were saying "The bill interfers with our business to much".. that could only mean two things. Buy American or no illegal labor. It's probably in the fine print somewhere.

14. But it was put back in for stimulus money...Claire McCaskill.. God Bless her heart.
Edited on Sat Feb-14-09 09:00 AM by Joanne98
But the National Whistleblowers Center said it was a victory that the final bill does contain a provision, offered by Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., to protect private contractors and state and local government workers who expose improper uses of stimulus spending.

5. If anyone here still thinks that C-SPAN is "objective"...Check into
this morning's Washington Journal...The first guest is this Wall St. Reporter, and she's doing a complete HIT PIECE on the Stimulus Bill. It's unbelievable what these people will stoop to. For instance, she's highlighted the fact that the average taxpayer will get much less "than Obama promised" -=- which OF COURSE was something the Repugs insisted on...C-Span is about as "objective" as CNN...It's getting more and more obvious.

9. It's not so much the callers I'm upset with (I expect a lot of idiocy) but C-Span itself..
They get a LOT of kudos for supposedly being "objective"..and it's a lie. I guess someone should bring up the point -- on the air ideally -- that they are PAID for by the Cable industry, which is, of course, a profit-making industry.

Do you're self a favor ...don't listen to the crazy pubs... your health and sanity will do better.

Stopped listening to them years ago when I could not take right wing diatribe anymore ..no tv no radio.

Stick with the like minded.

10. One Can Only Hope
there is socialized medicine. That would be a much bigger boom to business than a tax cut. It would help the family businesses that used to be the backbone of our economy and the large corporations as well. Imagine not having to pay or and administer workers health plans.

13. Members of Congress don't have a problem with the socialized health care they receive.
Good enough for them but not for us, I guess. x( Obama should remove their health care until they address the problem of health care for the rest of us. Edwards had a plan too do just that.

12. At Least His One Admits There's Gonna Be Jobs...
Edited on Sat Feb-14-09 08:56 AM by KharmaTrain
A bunch of the wingnut claptraps keep banging this mantra that "government doesn't create jobs". The hate radio world has been harping almost non-stop about this country going "socialist" since it looked likely that President Obama would win. Yep, it really frosts their frozen asses that they and their ilk won't get the government money...not to Blackwater (or whatever name they are this week), not to Exxon or General Electric, but to the states and local governments who can and do create a large number of jobs and desperately need some federal government love.

Damn right they're "skeered"..they're finally realizing they have ZERO power except for their bloviating and fear mongering...and those stunts look more desperate every day.

Cheers...
