Hey, Weller actually showed up to vote! What a douche.

ahhhh, the Crisis has been averted. Now go back to sleep America.

Xlprg,

Care to guess howmany vote Saint Obama has missed this year.

fed up: Not as many as McCain. Dumb argument.

Those Republicans who voted "Yes" are the real traitors to their constituents.

Kirk voted "Yes" on Monday and today. What a disappointment. What a stinker of a bill.


Judy Biggert just caved today. Funny how her district includes the Reagan Tollway. Ronald Reagan would have blown this lousy bill out of the water.

Slappy I dont care if Arizona has a ghost employee for a senator but it would be nice of Obama to show up for work once in a while. Oh wait he is part of the Crook Co Dem Machine No show jobs are a specialty
