Some. If this goes too far and the three Senate GOP'ers balk, this thing could be filibustered.

Consider; Rahm knows that public approval of this bill is very tepid and, if it does NOT work, it will ALL fall on the Dems. So, perhaps, if they put enough pork back in, the GOP will filibuster and the Dems can then blame it on them for not letting the bill go through even though at this point, Obama may well not really want it to.

This could be a way out of the corner they've painted themselves into.

So, if McConnell is paying attention, then, no filibuster and let them own this POS.

*****Republican Senators, who believe they were negotiating in good faith with the White House, were not notified of the House/White House moves. *******

Does this mean those 3 Republican idiots who sold out the country actually thought they were negotiating in good faith? Show's how stupid they are.

Collins claims she would balk if these things were put back in. We will see.

They're not idiots. Snowe and Collins were always going to go for this thing as was Spectre. <-----

However, Collins is on record as having said if the pork comes back, she's out.


We'll see.

So she's saying there's absolutely NO pork in a $800B "stimulus" bill????

No, she didn't say that. She said that with what they cut out in the Senate, if THAT pork was put back in, she would not vote for it.

Pork is not fungible. Just ask someone whose pork got cut.

No, it just means the 3 Republican Senators that sold out their party were 3 traitors that knew exactly what they were doing.

Yeah, sure. If you believe that, I have a bridge I can sell you.

I could care less if they sold out my party. They sold out the nation, and our future.
