- FOR THE 70TH TIME: “The House of Representatives today passed a massive fiscal stimulus bill aimed at resuscitating the U.S. economy, approving it on a largely party-line vote of 246 to 183.” Nancy Pelosi thought she might get some Republican votes this time around, but no. Zero. Rush would’ve made fun of them. [WP]

The Republicans have found their identity. They are the party of “not them, with their economy saving and studly President man and stuff.”
So if anything important or constructive needs to get done, it’ll have to happen without the Republican party. In much the same way that if you want to build a house, you do it with your hands, even if you bring the asshole along for fun.
…and John Boehner had the nerve to come out and say that they arent the party of “No”! REALLY!?!?! Then what the hell have they said yes to?
Maybe the Republicans should just take the next two years off and send Limbaugh, Hannity, and Anne Coulter in their place.
The GOP is that kid… remember him? When his mom offered to buy him an ice cream cone he said he wanted a triple. When she said she would only buy him a single he threw a temper tantrum and then loudly announced: forget it, I don’t want ANYTHING lets just go home!
Great! Oxy-contin gift bags for the entire G.O.P. on the way out! Also.
Hah, hah, House GOPeeers. Not needed.
Go slump back to your constituency in Loserville, Trans-fat Talibanistan for your sexual predator valentine’s day celebrations. Fifth grade is about to let out. That’s a Boehner they can believe in.
Why do the Republicans hate America?
Yeah, you know why they can afford not to vote “yes” on it? BECAUSE WHEN YOU’RE IN THE MINORITY LIKE THAT, NOTHING YOU DO OR SAY MATTERS ONE FUCKING BIT.
God that felt good.
“Join me Luke, let your anger go”….
debt for war = good gov’t spending
debt for jobs = bad gov’t spending
at least that’s cleared up.
[re=243483]Dorje Drolo[/re]: Because the white male power structure is being threatened. And they have something say about that.
God I hate the GOP. I really, really hate them. That is all.
If the Dems really wanted to get more Republicans on board, they should have added a provision that a “No” vote would mean no stimulus money for your district. Which, besides being fair, probably would have made the vote unanimous.
[re=243500]Cicada[/re]: yeah — the “old” part we get, but the “grand” and the “party” parts, not so much.
Maybe if the Democrats “reached around” the aisle instead of “reached across” the aisle, it may appeal more to the Republican inner homosexual.
[re=243454]AngryBlakGuy[/re]: Excellent use of your Judge Dredd voice there, AngryBlakGuy!
Today we are all THE LAW.
[re=243489]CivicHoliday[/re]: Yeah, what the hell? After years of burning money for laughs, all of the sudden fiscal restraint is their reason for living? I guess if the moneys not killing brown people, then it shouldn’t be spent.
[re=243517]Mad Farmer Manifest[/re]: According to almost every Republican and Republican pundit who’s been asked about that over the past few days, they were all against Bush’s spending measures and gave speeches and/or discussed their displeasure on Fox News but when it came to actually voting, well….hmmm…..well….
[re=243454]AngryBlakGuy[/re]:
1) Hypocrisy
2) Deep In the closet self loathing
3) Cowardice
4) Pedophilia (for some.)
Today’s GOP: When you got nothin’, you got nothin’ to lose.
You’re invisable. Also
Women are from Venus.
Men are from Mars.
Republicans are from some other fucking planet.
CSPAN2 is full of GOP senators queening about that old chestnut, “They want to choose your doctor for you!” Didn’t the AMA put out a record in the 50′s with Ronald Reagan hectoring you about this?
Why does Barry want to kill Harry and Louise, and take their White guns, to give them to the Black Africans?
[re=243527]ManchuCandidate[/re]: In fairness, Mark Foley was right to point out that he’s a pederast, not a pedophile. Increase your Word Power!!
If they’re worried about spending, perhaps we could reduce our defense spending by 1% and STFU about the stimulus bill? Am I just being a hippy? Will the MIC come take me to Gitmo for saying that?
[re=243522]Hooray For Anything[/re]: There’s nothing better to show your disapproval of something then to rubberstamp it again, and again, and again…
[re=243530]WhatTheHeck[/re]:
Democrats have the Ring of Power now and the Republicans are like Gollum… pathetic, misshapen, degenerate, insanely jealous, and just plain insane.
Barry’s refusal to shrink-wrap a billion dollars and deliver it to some Iraqi warlords is ruining the bipartisan spirit.

[re=243543]Serolf Divad[/re]: No, Republicans are like Sauron, and Democratics are like Saruman, and Pelosi is like Bilbo (except she’s a white female human Speaker of the House of Representatives, not a Hobbit.)
Good. I hope Nancy Pelosi has huge, messy victory sex with several virile young men on Boehner’s desk. For I am bitter, and I cling to my sextoys and snark.
[re=243530]WhatTheHeck[/re]: Uranus?
Okay wonketteers… Totally OT but you guys are my favorite online peeps so I thought I’d share that I just got my pink slip. I’ve been with the company about 15 months and my sales numbers have been in steady decline for the last three. It’s a tough world out there.
You’ll probably see a little less of me in the future but come find me on Facebook if you like. Best wishes. Big sale on Truck Nutz.
This bill had over 350 billion in tax cuts and it wasn’t enough for them?
Democrats think the glass is half-full.
Republicans think the glass is theirs.
[re=243553]WadISay[/re]: I think you put your finger on it.
[re=243543]Serolf Divad[/re]: You are too kind in your description of those republican children in Congress.
[re=243554]Kev-O-Tron[/re]: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Fuckety fuck fuck fuck.
[re=243463]Serolf Divad[/re]: Yes, I hate that kid.
[re=243489]CivicHoliday[/re]: ftw. And, for the first time in my life, GOPeers are the pussies, also.
[re=243554]Kev-O-Tron[/re]: All the best to you, dude.
Yeah, can you believe 14 fucking kids!!1! Is she listed in the stimulus package or what? wokka wokka! I know, wrong national tragedy.
[re=243554]Kev-O-Tron[/re]: I was laid off at the end of last February. My unemployment ran out 2 weeks ago but I got a little money from my mother’s estate at the same time.
I plan on reviving those college-age dreams of homesteading. If I can save enough of this money my second thought is to buy a used RV to live in. And move to the Northwest where it’s cooler and you can jerk a salmon out of the stream with a chokecherry on a cane pole.
[re=243554]Kev-O-Tron[/re]: Don’t worry. I wired your entire office building a few weeks ago in anticipation of this event. Let me know when you are out of the building. THEY WILL ALL BE COVERED IN CHOCOLATE FUDGE</i!!! HARR HARR HARR.
[re=243554]Kev-O-Tron[/re]: Try and borrow a hobo laptop once a week and check in with us and kick a conservative in the knee cap it will make you feel better for awhile.
>>you can jerk a salmon out of the stream with a chokecherry on a cane pole.
That sounds vaguely sexual. Tell me more about this “chokecherry on a cane pole”.
[re=243543]Serolf Divad[/re]: I wish they had the power ring from Green Lantern, so we can throw them into the sun.
[re=243554]Kev-O-Tron[/re]: Have you set up your ebay and etsy sellers accounts yet? I’m good to go, just waiting for my pink.
[re=243554]Kev-O-Tron[/re]: What BadKitty said. Where to find you on Facebook, plz? I’m pulling for you, and will keep an eye out for extra cans of hobo beans for you in my daily dumpster dives.
[re=243574]4tehlulz[/re]: ‘Milking’ out the roe also has its thrills:

[re=243554]Kev-O-Tron[/re]: Dude, sorry. This depression sucks. Good luck with the hunting and gathering, etc. And with finding a new job. Also.
[re=243554]Kev-O-Tron[/re]: I say we all drink heavily in solidarity to Mr. O-Tron’s news. Also, the bandersnatch guy/gal stole my hobo bean line.
[re=243554]Kev-O-Tron[/re]: For me, getting laid off meant more time on Wonkette as I have nothing else to do. And it’s really the only place to go online for news because it’s the only place where you can laugh at all this as a way to keep from crying over The Great Depression II: Electric Booggaloo.
[re=243554]Kev-O-Tron[/re]: Man, that sucks. I’ll be in touch.
[re=243554]Kev-O-Tron[/re]: Sorry to hear the bad news, man. Damn, that sucks.
But I worry about you. You got your pink slip and you’ll be spending less time here on Wonkette? Please explain. And please let it not be true.
Good luck.
[re=243554]Kev-O-Tron[/re]: Fuck. Real Life sucks these days.
[re=243554]Kev-O-Tron[/re]:
I walk in June, Kev-O-Tron. I’m pretty frightened, too.
[re=243570]chascates[/re]: If you’re srs, my big sister is moving into town and selling her 5th wheel for like, $2000. It’s worth the money, but not tons more (could use a little fixing). You’d need a full size pickup with a fifth wheel hitch if you actually want to move it. She never has.
It just happens to be currently situated at Arnies’s Dam Trailer Park which is spitting distance from this particular world famous trout stream http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elwha_River . You probably already know we have a few other fishing holes out this way too.
If you want to look into it, contact me at my place of business, I’m the guy who ansers all the email there.
[re=243554]Kev-O-Tron[/re]: Aw shit, buddy. But you knew it was coming, didn’t you? I’ll hoist a Port Townsend Brewing Hop Diggety IPA in your name tonight.
[re=243581]chascates[/re]: *Ahem* – Aforementioned place of business: http://www.portangelesdowntownhotel.com/
Wouldn’t a one-party state be better than having to read stories about roboticons all voting the same way behind a leader named Boner? Let’s all vive massive amounts of money to the Democrats and get rid of all of the reddies — or NOT.
ALL them House Republicers voted NO twice times on the package to give a gazillion dollar bills to ACORN and now their Grand Kleagle, Herr Boehner says they are not the Party of NO. Was he awake during all of this?
[re=243554]Kev-O-Tron[/re]: Welcome to the club.
