   Thank you to all Republicans in the house. The reason people turned away from teh GOP is because many among you tried to get the opposition to like them. We sent you guys there to oppose the Dems, not get along like long lost buddies.

   If the house and senate Republicans keep opposing crap like this, you will see a lot more votes coming your way in 2010. Everyone respects honorable fighters. No one respects collaborators.

   If you want my vote in 2010/2012, then you must continue making principled stands for our Constitution and against socialism. Good job today, but you’d better not let up. I voted 3rd party this last election and I’m not afraid of doing it again. Continue showing me why I should vote for you. As you could see in the ‘08 POTUS election, just saying that you’re not “that other guy” isn’t good enough.

    Yeah, Bill and I have had many discussions on that topic. He and Irish are still under the delusion that “conservatives” who voted for 3rd party candidates cost McCain the election. Obama clobbered McCain by around 8.5 million votes. All of the other candidates besides Obama/McCain brought in a whopping 1,643,758 votes. They just haven’t grasped this concept for whatever reason.

    Thanks to all the GOP in the House. I don’t regard what you did yesterday as partisan. I regard what you did as principled. You earned your damn paychecks today. And you conducted a very solid press conference today, briefly describing a constructive counterproposal.

    That said, I have one reservation about your press conference. You must take red magic markers and draw huge circles around the nonsense that the Democrats are trying to include in this bill. What they are trying to do in these difficult times with funding for the NEA, ACORN, and too much else is unconscionable and unpatriotic, and they ought to be ashamed of themselves.

    Keep speaking out against what’s wrong and standing up for what’s right! Don’t listen to the left leaning MSM who’ve been reporting this as a partisan move that had nothing to do with caring about the people or the economy. You know and we know that you did it BECAUSE you care about the people and the economy. Don’t ever vote to get love from the MSM or left wing of this country because they will NEVER give it to you.

    Thanks for doing the right thing! I’m thrilled that the House stood on principle and, to a man, voted against this boondoggle. The democrats were partying with $100/serving wagyu steak and martini’s…can a person be any more disconnected from the American public than that???

    Bi-partisanship would be nice, but, as you showed, NOT when the other side wrecklessly spends my unborn grand-children’s money.

    Many Thanks, once again for sticking to Conservative principles!

    Thank you Republican Representatives and the 11 Democrat Representatives who voted against this Stimulus Debacle. You did a good job this time. Please keep it up. Remember, we’re paying attention to you. We’ll remember this come re-election time.

    Yeah, Bill and I have had many discussions on that topic. He and Irish are still under the delusion that “conservatives” who voted for 3rd party candidates cost McCain the election. Obama clobbered McCain by around 8.5 million votes. All of the other candidates besides Obama/McCain brought in a whopping 1,643,758 votes. They just haven’t grasped this concept for whatever reason.

    Good to know you haven’t paid attention to a single, solitary thing I have ever written.

    Alan Keyes… the kid voted for Alan Keyes and then writes that I can’t grasp basic math. It’s enough to give you the kind of headache you get from eating ice cream too fast.

    Last election my district kicked out RINO Chris Cannon and elected conservative Jason Chaffetz to 3rd District from Utah… and he did not disappoint! He voted against the crap sandwich. Oh, how nice it is to have your representative vote for the right thing! Wahoo!

    I’m thankful to the Republicans who voted against this bill, but I’m also pissed with our fifth district rep/bonehead Mitchell in AZ who voted for it and sent him an email telling him so. It’ll probably be ignored.

    I thank the Republicans and the Democrats who voted against this measure. Please continue to vote against measures that will hinder our nation from becoming strong again. Please continue to vote against pork, especially pork that does nothing to create jobs or strengthen the economy.

    Michelle,

    Cool beans. I’ll cime in.

    Memo to the GOP (and the “Brown State” Dems): you need to keep this up. Remember, Obamalamadingdong is using the artificial crises of global warming and the *ahem* immediate need for economic stimulus to exert central control over the U.S. economy. Don’t let him do it. After all, Obamunism is the central planning we cannot (afford to) believe in. As Americans, we cannot be concerned with what the rest of the world thinks of us. We’ve been rugged and individualistic for 200+ years, and I’d like to think this ethic has served us well so far.

    *out*

    I’m sure Reagan is grinning in Heaven right now.

    Thank you, House Repubs, and especially Rep. Bartlett (MD) for representing ME and all who care about our country’s future. Thanks, also, to the 11 Dems who took a principled stand against this debacle.

    To paraphrase another poster, I’m so glad you weren’t swayed by the koolaid offered by the smiling man with the sharp eyes. Please don’t ever be fooled by flattery into stifling your common sense.

    Not ready to give them my $$$ yet. They still have to go a long way to prove themselves worthy.

    I called all 11 of the Dems who voted against this crapper sandwich. I thanked them for standing up for America.

    Although I did hear that Schuler asked Pelosi if he could vote against it, for re-election purposes.

    Yeah. Where were they when the “faith-based initiatives” crap sandwich was shoved down America’s throat? Oh, yeah! They were in front, shoving.

    My district’s Congresswoman is Gwen Moore D-Wisconsin (Unfortunately). Keeping track of her I believe she is one of dumbest members of congress, maybe ever-some of the things she says are almost as inane as the things that come out of Pelosi’s mouth. Luckily for Wisconsin we have guys like Paul Ryan and Jim Sensenbrenner. Thanks Paul and Jim. Keep fighting the good fight. We are behind you %100.

    Bless our Republican House members and the 11 Democrat members. Thank you for standing up for American taxpayers and our fiscal future. The arrogance and greed in this bill is chilling. You have taken the first courageous step in stopping this pork-ridden monstrosity from hurting our country.
