House roll call vote 245-178: Another $410 billion down the drain

By Michelle Malkin  •  February 25, 2009 05:38 PM

The House passed Porkzilla 2.0 — the $410 billion omni-waste spending bill – this afternoon.

The roll call vote is here.

Drink the Kool-Aid and repeat after me: There are no earmarks.

In one of many untold, underhanded maneuvers, the House bill had a measure buried in it that will kill school choice in the rotten public schools of Washington, D.C.

For the children.

Of course.

***

Fun fact: There were more Democrats who voted against omni-pork than Republicans who voted for it.

15 16 Pro-pork Republicans who voted for it:

Bono Mack
Brown-Waite, Ginny
Cao
Capito
Castle
Dent
Emerson
Gerlach
LoBiondo
McHugh
Miller (MI)
Murphy, Tim
Reichert
Upton
Whitfield

19 20 Democrats who voted against it:

    I don’t agree with everything Walt Minnick does, but the more I see him on these votes, the more he’s showing up on the right side of the issues.

    Thanks, Walt. You’re listed as “D” on paper, but I’ll consider you a fiscal conservative.

    Now, about that S-CHIP vote…

    My favorite part of this is $5,000 for Crime Stoppers for Bee County Tx. There are 32,000 people in Bee County TX so if they raised the $$ themselves it would only be 16 cents a person.

    WHY THE HELL AM I PAYING FOR CRIME STOPPERS IN BEE COUNTY TEXAS???????!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

    I’m really steamed to think that it probably cost the American people $10,000 to get that $5k to Texas.

    BASTARDS!!!
