Obama and the Democrats are throwing in Nationalizing health care records into the stimulus now; it's nothing more than a 40 year-old socialist wish list. Since 2006 the Democrats have had every means at their disposal to thwart any and all of Bush's spending, but it's simply not in their nature. Beginning in '06, they have managed to hide their own courruption, max out our children's credit cards, and now they are planning to not only max out our grandchildren's credit cards, but to also apply for their American Express so they can be done with spending limits. In return, theypromise you cheaper ATM fees, since they intend on buying up the banking system and running it as efficiently, as say, they ran Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Sallie Mae.

Welcome to the new Venezuela. And despite your finger pointing about Republican war expenditures, Obama is not reducing them one wit, hell he's promising a whole new pile of bodies of his own in Afghanistan since youclowns have spent half a decade saying "THAT's THE RIGHT WAR, the one WE want to fight," but he is taking an axe to their infrastructure, R&D, and the missile defense we WILL need against nations like Iran and South Korea, and who knows who else now that the world sees that the likes of Osama bin Laden and the Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad can run circles around the secular, liberal Western world. For Hu Jintau and old Vladimir Putin, the next eight years should be a fixed cakewalk where there are no ways to lose.

And it's funny that when we try to point out Democrat error and corruption, all we ever here is everyone does it, so until you charge Republicans with the same thing, we're having none of it, but if you want to go get those wascawwy Wepuwiccans, we're ready for the hunt. TALLY HO! Mr. Taliban, come tally me bananas...

The new Negro President certainly upsets our situational Native American AJ's delicate constitution...

One of the cutters poured scorn on funding to study why the bees are dying and how to fix it. Yeah. That is not important. Nothing depends on that. According to him.

You're making things up.

No one said that wasn't important. What was said was that it's not stimulus that is *supposed* to be, per Obama's conditions, targetted and timely; the most important being "timely" aka, within the next year, two years at most.

Just because something is important doesn't mean it should go in the stimulus bill. Bees, condoms and smoking cessation rightly belong in the Omnibus Bill where they have to weave their way through the appropriations process just like a myriad of other important causes and goals.

My God, I heard at least two Democratic Senators bitching about putting housing in the stimulus package because it rightly (according to them) belongs in TARP....housing is more closely related to "timely and targetted" stimulus than bees are.

Damn. It only took three consecutive posts this time for Captain Matrix to lose his snark-master nuts and start his menstrual cycle prematurely...

I think I like Brother Acanthus, hyar!

You're kidding me. I guess he must be from the "manna from Heaven" crowd?

Hmmm....I may need to re-examine this! I may have been mistaken.

Are you trying to say that Senate republicans haven't spent the past two years dragging their feet on every single piece of legislation to go through there? Even those of which they overwhelmingly approve in the attempt to make the majority look as if they're "do nothing". Surely you aren't that uninformed or naive.

Fortunately the public wasn't really fooled and it cost them more seats, just a couple shy of what was needed to completely marginalize their constant umbrage and whining.

No, I'm saying you are whining about 2 republicans that voted with the democrats on the stimulus package. They must be some very powerful repubs to get so much cut out of that bill. Other than that, it's pure conjecture on your part.

I've never even heard of Rasmussen, but he seems like "a right-wing hack with an agenda."

He is an evangelical, at any rate.

As for his methodology:

Rasmussen's polls are notable for their use of automated public opinion polling, involving pre-recorded telephone inquiries.[8] These types of polls have been shown to produce accurate results at low cost, although some traditional pollsters are skeptical of this methodology and prefer traditional, operator-assisted polling techniques.[9]
