Republican Senators Believe Obama’s Stimulus Bill May be DOA

February 1, 2009

 We can only hope that the senate republicans take their cue from the house Republicans and oppose President Obama’s welfare stimulus bill with all of their might.

 President Obama is using the politics of fear to fast track this bill through congress so that he can sign it before the American people realize that it is nothing but a pork barrel spending bill and not an economic stimulus bill. But the word is getting out to the American people and more and more opposition is building to this scam that is about to be levied on the people of this great country. Support for this bill is dwindling with the voters of this country and because of this support for this bill is dwindling with the members of the senate.

 I can only hope that this story about Obama’s stimulus bill meeting stiff opposition in the senate is true. I can only hope that republicans are ready to get back to fiscal responsibility. It is the only thing that can stop this bill from passing and save the country as we know it.

 Democrats and President Obama are using the politics of fear in order to pass this bill as quickly as possible. The comment below is just one example of the politics of fear and how fear is being used to scare the American people into supporting a spending bill when America can least afford it.

“We cannot delay this,” said Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois, the Senate Democrats’ No. 2 leader. “We can’t engage in the old political rhetoric of saying, ‘Well, maybe it could be a little bit better here and a little bit better there.’ We’ve got to pull together.”

 That statement and other that I have heard coming from the mouths of Democrats is nothing but fear mongering. It is  an attempt to pass radical leftist ideals that have nothing to do with the economy. We are not supposed to question the bill because it is too fucking important. So while we are not questioning the bill the majority of this outrageous bill will go to liberal pet projects that will not do one fucking thing to improve the economy.

 Republicans need to hold firm on this issue. They cannot let this bill pass as it is currently constituted. I want to see this whole stimulus package scrapped but eventually this bill is going to pass, regardless of whether I believe any action should be taken, which I don’t, so the best case scenario is that the Republicans in the house and senate can minimize the amount of damage (read spending) that we allow President Obama to achieve.

 This is the Republicans chance to stand tall and as the American people turn against this bill they will look towards the Republicans to stop it. I only hopw they have the intestinal fortitude to take the stand.

    This is a valuable lesson being taught to 44 from 43 and his old friends…”Don’t make enemies out of allies if you can avoid it.” The people supporting you today could be the “Flies” bothering you tomorrow. Open the window and let the sunlight in. A fly could just be trapped looking for an easy way out? A petty grievance can be avoided sometimes if you think about the fly. He’s trapped and helpless, but a President has all the power to fix it.

    I’m so tired of hearing about how we are in the worst of times. First of all, that is not true. 1982, 1970’s were far worse. Second, I don’t like to be bulldozed into anything. That makes me want to take a pause and double check everything. Thirdly, the Obama administration has shown it’s true colors and looking out for you and me is not on the agenda.

    The name of this bill almost makes me gag because only 2 percent of the bill will do any stimulating! How the heck is that going to help us out of this recession? Or maybe that is the point!

    Yeah, I guess I got a little hot-headed there whiteamericanpatriot. Sometimes I can’t help myself, it feels to good just to vent. I almost went back in the morning and edited out my swears but then I said fu….to hell with it. 🙂
    Dominique, I agree with you completely on this. I am also sick and tired of the president telling us this is the worse crisis America has ever faced, that is a lie and it is fear mongering.
