If you had to ask, you already know. And I'm guessing it won't please any of us.

That is Radical Rape Of The Economy Act passed is a travesty.  That NOT ONE Republican voted for it is divine.

Any bets on which way McCain votes? :banghead:

I'll bet a hefty sum that he votes against it.  Or did you miss in the entire past election that the man has never once voted for pork?  Thats one of his biggest "conservative" sticking points.

Quite frankly, I'm amazed at some of the peoples ignorance about him on this topic.

Thank God!!

Let's hope this isn't just symbolic and that the GOP gets the message from the rest of us.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

Fixed.  :II:

Forgive me if I find the "Overwhelming GOP Opposition" just a bit underwhelming.

We may have celebrated too soon:

Quote
he House passed an $819 billion tax-and-spending bill Wednesday, in a recession-fighting effort that would extend the reach of the federal government across the U.S. economy by reshaping policy on energy, education, health care and social programs.

The House bill is one of the largest single stimulus packages in history, almost equal to the entire cost of annual federal spending under Congress's discretion. A parallel Senate measure, which is expected to come to a vote next week, is now valued at nearly $900 billion.

Either bill, if enacted, would push the federal debt toward levels not seen since the second World War.

The package embodies President Barack Obama's philosophy, stated in his inaugural address, that a nation in crisis has moved beyond "stale political arguments" over the size and reach of government.

No.  It's just a cyst.  The doctor will be removing it on Monday.
