Stimulus Bill Tells The World Democrats Want a United Socialist States of Amerika



SURPRISE! Dems Break Promise: Stimulus Bill to Floor Friday


Human Events


In a press conference Thursday, the House Republican leadership spoke candidly about being kept out of the House-Senate conference on the Obama-Pelosi-Reid so-called “economic stimulus” bill. They confirmed they had not yet seen the text of the bill as of 4 p.m.

Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) said he was unsure how many Democrats would vote with Republicans again on this bill but that he thought Republicans “may get a few” Democrats to side with them.

The fact that the Demos have now broken their promise to have the public able to see the bill for 48 hours may drive more Dems into the Republican camp.

"I don’t know, ‘cause they haven’t seen the bill either,” Boehner said.

"The American people have a right to know what’s in this bill,” Rep. Mike Pence (R-Ind) told HUMAN EVENTS after the press conference. “Every member of Congress -- Republicans and Democrats -- voted to post this bill on the internet for 48 hours, 48 hours ago. We’ll see if the Democrats keep their word.”

Actually -- as of 5:15 pm, the Democrats had broken their word. The stimulus bill -- which we still haven’t seen -- will be released late tonight and will be brought up on the House floor at 9 am tomorrow.

The following statement was released by Majority Leader Steny Hoyer at 4:57 p.m.:

"The House is scheduled to meet at 9:00 a.m. tomorrow and is expected to proceed directly to consideration of the American Recovery and Reinvestment conference report. The conference report text will be filed this evening, giving members enough time to review the conference report before voting on it tomorrow afternoon."

Meanwhile, at an earlier presser Thursday, Pelosi -- while talking about legislation regarding school construction funds -- said it was vital to see the language of a bill before making decisions.

House Republican Whip Eric Cantor (R-Va.) twittered back, “Those in favor of speed over commonsense may just be afraid of letting the People know what they are ramming through.”
“The American people have a right to know what’s in this bill,” Rep. Mike Pence (R-Ind) told HUMAN EVENTS after the press conference. “Every member of Congress -- Republicans and Democrats -- voted to post this bill on the internet for 48 hours, 48 hours ago. We’ll see if the Democrats keep their word.”


UPDATE:

The Democrats finally made the bill's language available around 11 p.m. Thursday, approximately 10 hours before members meet Friday to consider the bill and 38 hours short of the time promised Americans to review the bill.

Cao may be one of few to break Republican ranks on stimulus

NOLA.com


WASHINGTON

U.S. Rep. Anh “Joseph” Cao, R-New Orleans, said Wednesday he is likely to vote for the economic stimulus bill when it comes to a vote, probably today or Friday, even if he is the only Republican member of the House to do so.

“I’m voting along what my conscience dictates and the needs of the 2nd Congressional District dictate, even if I were to be the only member of the GOP to vote for the stimulus package, “ he said.
“Even though it is going to be a humongous bill, even though we will be in debt for years, I believe that more likely than not, I will vote for it because the 2nd Congressional District needs a stimulus package.”
“”The GOP leadership, they fully understand my situation and the needs of my district, “ he said.
Scalise, the assistant Republican whip, laughed when asked whether it was his responsibility to keep Cao in line, adding that a few Republican defections are to be expected.
Joked Cao, “Steve Scalise doesn’t know kung fu. I know kung fu. He can’t whip me.”

Wild Thing's comment........

I realize it has been done where they do not read the bill before they vote on it. I don't like that or agree with doing such a thing but it has happened often. BUT not to read this drastic bill is this is particularly egregious, this thing is a disaster.

Liars, cheats, socialists and just plain evil people. They will pay a heavy price for their traitorous actions.

The only thing Transparent about this administration is that we can all see the lying crooks in action and no one seems to be able to stop them. They don’t care about the country or the people anymore, if they ever did. They hold all the cards now and half of America put them in that place. This country is run by thieves and their gang name is “Democrat Politicians.”

Republicans should just walk out and leave them with no Quorum!!!!

And that U.S. Rep. Anh “Joseph” Cao, R-New Orleans jerk!

He was a refugee from Vietnam. His father spent 7 years in a reeducation camp after the fall of South Vietnam. He knows what a gift he's been given becoming an American citizen. He's missing the part about standing up for America on this bill. He will not truly help his constituents, he will make them more dependent. He's voting against what has made America Dream the true hope of so many. he should be ashamed of himself. Like I have said before I have had it with these rino's. If we keep making excuses for any of them we will never win America back. We need to be taking names and never forget the traitors to our beloved country that are out there.

So my message to Cao is this...........

XIN LOI CHARLIE!!!

Go back to Vietnam asshole!

Rich and Middle-Class - then the rich will become fewer! Collectivism = Communism = Socialism = Barackshevism!!

I just think the Republicans should all call in sick or take a snow day on this. It's an unfair and traitorous bill. I do NOT want my children growing up in a socialist nation. It's not fair to them or to my grandchildren. How do I look them in the eye and tell them what we did today ruined their future?
We can't be bipartisan anymore. It's us against them and I am so sick of the Reeders and Pelosians.
They care nothing for us.

That's right, Cao! Screw the rest of the country and my grandchildren, just so YOUR district gets money!

And it's going to take decades to pay back, sheeple!

So it appears that the first people to read a bill would be the American People, after the bill has passed and it's too late to matter.

As for Obama's 5-day promise, what possible difference would it make if it's already passed CONgress and is going to be signed anyway?

The Dems are going to push this manifesto on us and The Constitution will be further along on the way to irrelevance. We are going to have big(ger) government in America, absolutely the opposite of what the Founding Fathers wished for. Big government becomes a constantly growing entity and our childrens' lives will be dictated in detail by what government says.

These Dems are going to out-Putin Putin. USSA.

Lynn, I agree, they realy are showing they don't care at all for the citizens.

Posted by: Wild Thing at February 13, 2009 06:44 PM


Rick, DITTO that!!!

Posted by: Wild Thing at February 13, 2009 06:45 PM


Rick yes, once it is passed it does not matter if anyone actually sees it, but if they do and if we do we know what is to come. It will not be pretty that's for sure, but at least we have the right to know where all this money is going.

Rish I agree it is such a mess.

Posted by: Wild Thing at February 13, 2009 06:47 PM


Duane, yes isn't that somle nice statement from Robert Reich. I posted the video of him saying that a couple of weeks ago. Totally disgusting.

Posted by: Wild Thing at February 13, 2009 06:52 PM


Tom, your right, our Founding Fathers would be outraged at all of this.

They sure are trying to do this that you said..."These Dems are going to out-Putin Putin. USSA."

JohnE PFC U.S. Army, thanks for the links.

I wish our awesome military had a different CIC. Maybe he will be too busy running around giving his stupid speechs and not have any time to mess with our military. ( wishful thinking)

Posted by: Wild Thing at February 13, 2009 07:00 PM


Cao voted nay.
