  • Interesting that he won't even SEE the people. This is so typical of him.

    He's going DOWN soon and I can't wait to celebrate!

  • Vote the old fart out!

  • hahahaha porkulus? what the fuck republicans

  • it refers to in laymens terms- wasteful non productive spending- ie. Austin park fence, non profit jets, Murtha Airport, turle funding research ect. kinda what was in the stimulus crook bill.

  • The only way were going to get these bastards attention is to put a few of their heads on a pike. Then Mabey we'll see DC operate a little differently.

  • wait a second....did melacant moron and fat cant moy redefine bipartisanship to mean only their point of view and no other? amazing. and the Reeps cant figure out why their affiliation rating of 21% is lower than that of Americans who believe in ESP

  • Ahhh, Melacant Morgan and fat cat moy, the dynamic duo right wing nut jobs of northern california. now all of you can see this nut job in action....and i am a republican...now you the reason for the demise of the republican party

  • Wait a second, wasn't the GOP canidate McCain, that suspended his campaign to get a bailout going for the banks? Wasn't it Bush who sent everybody a Stimulus check last year?

    Now that the Dems are in control, stimulus is a dirty word. Reminds me of the joke, an alcoholic is somebody who drinks as much as you do that you don't like.

    Keep up the good work GOP on your own self-destruction.

  • "Home school mom of 5" = typical American evangelical family (wackos). I pray those children don't continue her non-sense. "We want to be American" ... rofl !!!! LOONS.

  • Anything else think its odd that all these sexually repressed morons keep fucking up the word "stimulus".

  • lmao they actually scared him away.

    this is really funny.

  • No wonder Specter joined the Democratic party ... too many of these loons in the Republican party.

  • Rick LeDue from Rednecks-R-Us!...hahahahaha

  • well they have a good point but they make the group look poorly by being pushy let his staff look poorly that my opinion

  • This guy always was a dem in republican's clothing...glad to be rid of him

  • Right, hes never had a gay sex scandal. Not a republican.

  • Actually Arlen Spincter was a dem early on and "converted"

  • Spector was going to lose in a republiban primary. Hes just thinking of himself as usual. Hes going to lose just like Chris Dodd.

  • Well now hes a Democrat, what you think about that?

    Not that I think either party is worth a rats ass. The republicans are dieing and will continue their downward spiral.

    The Democrats are next and good riddance.

  • Specter did what needed to be done to save the economy. He should be applauded.

  • Specter is a scumbag. He supports illegal immigration and now this stimulus bill.

    GET SPECTER OUT OF OFFICE.

  • OMG The guy who is taking the note made a reference from an episode from the office. God change your tampons

  • That's awesome! Something that should be done more often than sitting back and letting the government dictate what we are going to do with our hard earned cash. Keep this up!

  • where was the moral outrage in the republican party when the previous administration was running up the highest debt EVER? why didn't we hear from them when george w. was spending all of our money? hooray for the three republican senators who voted YES for economic recovery!!!

  • Wasteful and Non-Simulative Spending in the House-Senate Conference Report (Note: Many of these items are typically debated and funded through the regular budget process. Including these items in an emergency stimulus spending bill plays an Enron-style shell game with taxpayer dollars. Were borrowing from the next generation to avoid tough budget choices today.What a shameful, inconsiderate, immorral, lask of responsibility on our part.

  • A ha ha, I feel sorry for that poor bastard taking notes about what those lunatics are saying. I hope Arlen Specter gets him a thank you card or something.

  • 2:23 perfect representation of the republican party

  • We should have a nation wide election and let the people vote on a bill of this magnitude, after all isnt our money? A vote on this bill is more important than the presidental election. Obama and all the democrats should be impeached for incompetence and STUPIDITY !

  • Specter is an asinine turncoat traitor...

  • Specter is done...there are Republicans from all over the country who are going to fund his next primary opponent in 2010.

    If he wins that we will fund his liberal Dem opponent. Better a principled liberal Democrat than a turn coated traiter like Specter.

  • Senator Specter I admire you and thank you for supporting the stimulus bill , you have really show all of us how loving and caring and how true American you are sir. Thank you again for doing what is best for our country in this time of distress and for extending your hand across the aisle. God bless you and your family. Thank you

  • Well Jesse, that's quite sweet but it isn't up to Sen. Specter to necessarily decide what he thinks is right, he has a responsibility to represent those who elected him and the majority do NOT want this bill and will show it in 2010.

  • Call e-mail fax and phone

  • these three losers traitors ---whims --- off with their heads---and vote them out!!!!!

  • Thank you to these patriots, you're out in 2010 Arlen

  • We are running healong toward the destruction of the republic for which so many fought and died. The Boston Tea Party was an action against "taxation without representation". How similar the circumstances are today. Although the majority is starting to see through the scare tactics of those that are scraming "Disaster", those that were "chosen" to represent us are certainly not acting as our fiduciaries.

  • I can't believe the Republics are singing the same sour song. These businesses closing daily aren't likely coming back. We need to do something new.

  • It's not a sour song, it's the right song. Look at the healthy competition b/w Mc D's and Starbucks. If you haven't followed it Mc D's is looking to BUILD 1000 new stores and because of the competition Starbucks has now added new, affordable, menu items. Waalaaa!! Now you can go to Starbucks and get a meal for the price of a latte - the system works. No govt. intervention!

  • Amen!!!!

    Keep The Pressure On Him & The Other Rinos!!!!!!!

  • You guess need to consider that atleast he is trying to do something. giving a tax break would do nothing because no one would spend the money right now they would save it because they are scared it will get worse. everyone wants jobs to be created. well I'll tell you something the government can't create jobs without spending.

  • This isn't just pork! Barack Obama promised to remake America. How do you still a beating heart? You "jump-start" it. If you wanted a bill written guaranteed to crush the market economy in America, by an author who would remain clueless about being used for that purpose - whom would you tell to write it? People are hurting, it's an emergency, price no object, Ms. Pelosi. I believe this man's motives are treasonous. The "stimulus" bill is evil. It's time to kill it, all of it, and NOW.

  • Try using the VA to know what government health care is all about. If you have a serious head injury all you get are anti-depressants. There is so much more available. All the feds will give you are a hand full of pills that will kill you.

  • YOU are a GREAT AMERICAN MR. SENATOR

  • yes comrad senator you and your comrad cbotse2 are great in the new USSA

  • It's unfortunate that what they did will have *no impact whatsoever*. All they did was rant and put on a show.

    If they had spoken to Specter or a *policy* aide and had asked a series of questions designed to reveal the flaws in the plan, that would have had a huge impact and this video might have been linked by Drudge.

    If anyone wants to stop the stimulus in an effective way, help me push this plan:

    Please contact major bloggers and urge them to get involved.

  • Wonder what he was really writing. :D

  • I agree with them, but where were these people when Bush was driving us 5 trillion dollars further into debt?? They were no where to be found. Johnny come lately fiscal conservatives, is my guess.

  • Fucking A! I love Patriots. Bless all of you and may you serve as an inspiration for all of us to continue storming DC. We'll send them a shiver down their spine. Great work Patriots.

  • 3 trillion dollars for the war in iraq...off the books. 700 billion 4 months ago....what a bunch of tools. Reganomics and bush tax cuts at work....these DBs have been voting against their interests for years...

  • where were u fuckers wen bush was giving out stimulus checks? shut the fuck up u dumb bitches...

  • When you listen to them, you can hear the same old rehashed language that every far right it using. Main points, threatening him that they wont vote for him if he goes through with this. Republicans, conservationism, are real Americans. And when it comes down to it, bipartisan simply means listening and doing what the republicans want.

    There are ways to voice your opinion and actually make a difference, doing what they did makes zero difference.

  • as a constituent of arlen specter i hope he burns in hell for this vote.

  • these losers need to get a job

  • Unfortunately, they are placing the blame on democrats when the blame should be on the international banksters who have created this whole fiasco on purpose!

  • It is the democrats who passed the laws requiring the banksters to loan money to people who dont qualify, that is why we are in this mess. If the government was not trying to manage every part of society and let the free markets work they should, we wouldn't be in this giant mess. God help us all!

  • I understand that. Look up these words. all at once "Problem, reaction, solution" from there you will find the true answer.

  • The solution to this problem is less government intervention, less spending, less printing of money and in time things will fix themselves, it wont be easy on a lot of people but it people will recover. Throwing cash at anything is just a waste of cash as most of it blows away in the wind, just look at the 350B given to the banks, it will only prolong the inevitable collapse of the system not fix it.

  • I know, I agree with you100%. All I am saying is don't look at the wings (dems, repubs) look at the bird who controls those wings.

  • Poor Republicans. Bush got 8 years to do what he wanted, give the new guy a few frickin months.

  • Yea! Let's not spend billions of dollars on a way to revive the economy... lets spend it on making Iraq a better place to live.

    Nice to hear that some people care so much about our refugees in other countries!

    These people should probably get real jobs - oh wait, there isn't any because the last 8 years were just sooooo perfect!

  • Wow, I wish I had been there. I hope that aide was getting everything down on his notepad. I don't expect Specter to listen, but it will hurt even more that those folks weren't from PA; that'll be his excuse for ignoring their pleas. They're not constituents. Well guess what? I am! I live in PA and I can't wait for 2011 to vote Specter the hell out of office once and for all!!!

  • It is hopeless to expect any of these immoral congressmen to listen to reason. All they want is to be able to get rich off the american people. They have no backbone or convictions. Specter and the other two traitors have proven that in spades today. The whole government is corrupt, and the american people are paying for their corruptness...

  • cook that pooooorkkkkk!!!!

  • hey that was too funny when you guys did that... what made you guys wanna do something like that haha ... well you made me luahg hahaha lol

  • what a bunch of dummies. They walk into a senator office and act like a fool with their own cameras running.

  • Way to go guys! Specter was a total fool this morning.  I don't think he's read half of the B.S. in this bill himself - that was quite apparent in his interview on Fox.

  • Rush has fired up the ditto heads and they are carrying their torches and pitchforks into federal buildings. What a bunch of assholes! The stimulous is almost half tax breaks after 8 years of tax cuts. What a group of whiners.

  • The secretary was far too polite, they should have just called security when that woman walked into an unauthorized area, She was behaving in a belligerent manner which made her a legitimate security threat.

  • "Played for fools" is right. America is being scared into giving Congress a blank check to print, borrow, and tax over a trillion dollars. This will drive the country deeper into debt. It will NOT stimulate the economy. It will nationalize and ration healthcare. It will fund abortions and contraception (abstinence until marriage is more effective and free). It will discriminate against religious expression on college campuses. 3% is spent on infrastructure, 97% is wasteful unaccountable spending

  • I'd rather have nationalized and rationed healthcare than none at all, which is what 30% of us have now."Unaccountable wasteful spending" is in the eye of the beholder - the rest of us see JOBS.

  • Where's the first 350billion dollars for TARP sounds like a theft attack to me. Every thing gov. has touched has turned to C*** for example social security. By the way Nationalized Health care has been tried in Hawaii and has failed. If the gov wants to be helpful they sould enact a law to limit lawsuits and that is why health care is out of control.

  • You mean you'd want the government to have control over your healthcare and have another way to keep you under their thumb?

  • I want healthcare period. So do millions of other Americans. We don't care who provides it as long as it's available and effective.

    Right now the corporations have me under their thumb. At least our government is elected by our citizens. Government has to respond to more demands than just profits - it's not our enemy but our instrument.

  • EVERYONE has access to health care! You just have to pay for it yourself instead of believing that you're entitled to have someone else pay for it for you, you selfish, childish brat.

    These jobs will be temporary (contract-based) and will then disappear. They will be overpaid for, just like the Wall Street bailout or the Big Dig Massachusetts contracts or the US Capitol Visitor Center contracts and numerous other example of government waste. These temporary "jobs" will be an inefficient waste.

  • Every other modern industrialized nation in the world provides health coverage for their citizens, because the people of those nations believe that a healthy citizenry is a productive one. This is a policy question to be decided by the citizens of the United States - and right now, the polls show that the vast majority of Americans want guaranteed health care. Are Social Security and Unemployment Insurance selfish too? "Others" pay those benefits to the recipients

    Rush really stoked you today.

  • If every other nation's citizens were getting robbed by their government, would you want to get robbed to? Healthcare decisions are best made by individuals, voluntarily; not by distant, unaccountable government bureaucrats by force and theft. A healthy citizen is one who takes responsibility for his own health, not expecting the government to do that for him. A citizen can better take care of his health with more of his hard-earned money; not with trillions of dollars disappearing from waste.

  • You're young enough to still believe to think that your good health is within your control. Wait until you have an accident or suffer from a hereditary condition.

    Luckily there will be universal health care by the time you find out how wrong you are. And then you'll be glad that there were citizens more generous than you are.

    The future is arriving whether you like it or not - and it will include universal health care in the US.

  • You must be an Obaaama brainwashed cult follower who favors handouts...aka...socialism...o­r just another dweeb moling. Oh, sorry, take some of my hard earned dollars away from my child w/a hereditary condition to help yours...please stop and think!! We will all get just what the socialists prescribe...NOT what we know is best for our children or ourselves. Please do some research, simple history will do!

  • Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahah­ahahahah.........wait, wait, bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahah­ahahahahahahahahahah.........b­wahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­!!!!

  • Freepers are the best thing since the channers and their Scientology raids. Except, yknow, they did something useful. You freepers are just wastes of oxygen :D.

  • Freedom Works, keep up the good work.

    Dick Army, we need you back in Washington.

  • How pathetic.

    How do you "storm" anything with 10 people, especially when 5 of them are children.

    LOL. Poor Freepers.

  • Look at all these people that want America to collapse.

  • Yep, the 45% of the American Public that actually think this bill will do any good. If this bill passes, it will be the 2nd step to the end of the USA as we know it. (step one was the Wall Street Bailout)

  • You're right this stimulus bill sucks it has too much Republican interference in it.

  • It sucks because it's bullshit and won't help. No bailouts, no stimulus. Decrease spending, cut taxes, and get back to the gold standard.

  • Get rid of these new-fangled electric lamps - electricity can kill you! The wealthy can build castles and let people live on the land provided they give part of their food production as rent.

    You know what would REALLY help this country prosper? Lower labor costs! Slaves and indentured servants are part of the reason America prospered. Manumission must go!

    "gold standard" - what a laugh.

  • Republicans ruined the economy so they should get to fix it.

    Makes sense.

    In bizarro world.

  • This is a wasteful spending bill that never had any ability to "stimulate" the economy. Such stimulus must come from savings and paying down debt (both aided best by tax cuts). Short-term, politically decided spending creates nothing but short-term, temporary, make-work "jobs". 3% of the spending is on infrastructure and the rest is on political spending to buy elections. Most of the spending is actually delayed until 2010: this bill was never meant to help the economy, only the dem's elections.

  • Hmm yes in order to pay off the debt we must cut taxes thereby getting us less money that we can use to pay off the debt.

    WHAT

  • Uhh... Pay off debt?

    I thought it was a stimulus bill.

  • Learn history. Taxes are such a drag on our economy (not to mention an invasion of our sovereignty) that cutting tax RATES stimulates enough economic growth to RAISE tax REVENUE. It worked when Kennedy cut taxes, and when Reagan cut taxes, when Clinton cut capital gains taxes, and when Bush cut taxes. It works every time it's tried.

    We the people are in debt in our personal budgets and do not deserve increased taxes just because the government was too irresponsible with its spending.

  • It is a proven fact that when the government lowers taxes it receives more tax revenues. How about you study some history.

  • It is a proven fact that tax cuts don't work the way they are intended to work. See: the last 8 years.

  • Yet again, another person without anything productive to say. Stop with the liberal talking points.

    You're talking to a self-made woman.

    I've worked my butt off and earned every penny. It's about time that the lazy people in this country get off their ass and do something for themselves for a change.

    One of the main reasons we are in this mess is because liberals thought everyone "deserved" a house, or a "free" check from the government.

  • Mariekekemph,  You are right on target.

    It's refreshing to see these people tell it like it is. Specter is going to be punished at the polls. Unfortunately...he will just go to work for a lobbing firm...still feasting at the government trough.

  • If you CUT taxes, more people will have money to INVEST in new business ventures, people will have more money to spend thereby generating more TAX REVENUE. Simple concept really. Too bad the dems and libs don't understand it.

  • Cool you know we tried this in California and now we had to cut a bunch of programs because of the budget crisis. (Which wouldn't have happened if we didn't cut taxes)

  • Was spending cut? George Bush's problem, he didn't cut spending at the same time.

    California is full of idiots who think people should feel good and that everyone should have equal money, housing, etc. & they are determined to bring successful people down to the level of the least successful rather than making it possible for the least successful to rise to the level of the most successful.

    Equal opportunity doesn't guarantee equal results. That is up to the individual.

  • wow you literally don't know anything about California's situation please don't run for politics.

  • Oh right, I forgot all of the illegals that are draining the coffers dry.

    I'm glad I don't live in California.

  • I'm glad you don't live here.

    We don't need anymore conservatives shitting up the place.

  • um please. CA has one of the highest tax rates in the United States, plus CA has been living out of its means for a long time. Plus notice how most of the programs are social programs, what do you think will happen if health care "reform" is passed.

  • Actually our property taxes are really really low and is part of the reason why we are in a budget crisis so much. If you think about it, California is conservative in the way that we spend in the form of propositions, yet we are too selfish/stupid to raise taxes.

  • You are very correct-

  • Specter has that liberalism brain disorder. He needs to be taken out, one way or the other. The 2 idiots from Maine are reprehensible hacks as well, and they also need to be removed from their employ for being traitors to the Constitution. The socialism coming down the pike is the doom of this nation.

  • AWESOME!

    Specter lost my vote, that's for sure.

  • these people are why the republican party has become irrelevant

  • Bush and his Big Government Neo-con's are the reason the Republican Party became irrelevant.

  • good job but where were these guys when Bush was pushing through his socialist bail-out

  • in case you didn`t notice the people voted in the polls and over 90% did not want Bush`s plan,but don`t take my word for it look for yourself,and yet Bush`s plan failed in the House of Representatives and the Senate forced it through anyway.The fact is our government is not doing the will of the people,if anything they are robbing us

  • Good point. I know my Republican Senator, Tom Coburn, voted for Bush's $750 billion Wall Street bailout but w/the Economic Stimulus Bill, he's concerned about 'excessive spending'. Hypocrite.

  • Does the right even understand that "unconstitutional" means something more than just "something that I don't like?"

  • Please show me where in the US Constitution, it gives the Authority for Congress to pass this Stimulus bill.

    I will give you a hint, read the Constitution, then read the 10th Amendment.

  • Article I, Section 8, Clause 1 gives the federal government the right to both tax and spend, both of which have been upheld in the Supreme Court. Tax dodging nutbars are not a good source for information on constitutional law.

  • Yes, the Government can impost Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises on goods.

    However, it was found that Congress would overstep there bounds. So the Bill of Rights were written to define what Congress can and can't do.

    the 16th Amendment pass in 1913 allowed congress to form the IRS and start taxing income. There is an argument that the income tax was suppose to be on profits of a company and not on labor.

    However none of this any anything to do with the Stimulus plan, so try again.

  • Is this clown Senator Spector or Phil Spector?  Hard to tell the difference sometimes. Or, is he Senator Arlen Sphinctor?

  • My aren't you witty. Did you come up with that yourself, or did one of your "Fairness Doctrine" fearing talk show host favorites use it and you took it?

  • I am wary of anyone who calls themselves a "pro-troops" organization.

  • so these are the people who buy books by Coulter and Joe the Plumber.

    Doesn't Melanie Morgan live in California? I know she keeps getting fired from radio jobs but does she even live in Specters state?

  • Wow, I thought it was impossible to have people dumber than Joe the Plumber but I was wrong.

    Lady, get your kids in school, if you are the one home schooling them then they are doomed.

  • The blind leading the blinded.

    This is only a smoke screen for setting us up for Socialism, pure and simple.

    Please folks, just do the math. We will be paying for just the interest on this for more than 40 years to come. Think how high our taxes will have to be to pay the principle and interest.

    If you are between the ages of 40 and 65, you won't see one ounce of the benefit, if any, of this raping of America.

  • Pizamoto,

    youre right, its a lot of money. But the previous admin DOUBLED the US deficit, 5-6 times the amount of this package, and I heard nothing from you then. On the other hand, doing nothing makes it very likely that an unprecedented amount of people will be without jobs and houses. That might even turn out to include you.

    Second, dont speak of socialism as if you knew what it means. The countries on this planet with the highest standard of living are - shocker - social democracies.

  • The highest standard of living...and the lowest standard of individual rights.

  • That is something you don't know anything about. Try staying for some time in Scandinavia and discover that individual rights are quite ok. Actually, there is _more_ freedom for the indvidual because of good public arrangements - like free or subsidized child care, free education, free health care. The money that go into taxes are paid pack and then some - health care is f.ex. much more effective than in the US because there is no need fo feed the greedy insurance industry.

  • Haha yeah. Sweden's a real hell hole for individual liberty! *lives in omnipresent surveillance state that can kidnap and torture its own citizens outside of court jurisdiction*

    You don't know what individual rights OR socialism are. Read a book without raised print on the jacket and come back once you've learned something, you blithering idiot.

  • fucking ants

  • Wow, the pubic school system did a great job on mushifying your brain, didn't it? I guess you haven't noticed the looting and rioting in Iceland and Greece, those Socialist Paradises, because the countries are as broke as this bill is about to make us. Third world Banana Republic, here we come.

  • Iceland was looted by a few criminals exploiting a financial system as unregulated as the US financial system. More than a Trillion Icelandic crowns was taken out of the country leaving their banking system in ruin. That's what their riots were about. Greece had riots over the police shooting a young boy, exacerbated by hard economic realities.

    As for the bill, the US IS ALREADY BROKE! 10 times as broke as this bill. The US deficit stands at well over 10 trillion USD, half of it by Bush adm.

  • Upvoting this because you scare the Freepers with your big words and talking bad about their god Bush.

  • Facts are important, not just 1 line answers.

    True, Bush did increase the deficit. But, we also had a completely new Bureaucracy to create and fund after 9/11. We did have a recession during the changeover. We did have 3 major disasters, sadly, we have 2 wars & the opposition party did take over in 2006, controlling the purse strings.

    Removing these items, and you'll see Bush raised the deficit by about 1.3 trillion. But, still, there is a lot more to the story.

    It's not so cut & dry.

  • Double, 5-6 times? Get your facts straight.

    I lived in a Soc Dem, Germany and Italy. Highest level of welfare, not living. The $ to support them comes from them, it's a self defeating take from the left hand, give to the right. Do the math. When it runs out, they take more, or they form a Union-ha, and tax everyone to near death.

    We're not perfect, but we have the most successful Nation on the planet, even in bad times.

    Heard nothing from me then? BS! You weren't listening.

  • Melany Morgan! She's that crazy bitch that thinks war is necessary to keep people safe. Ironic right? She's a war mongoering asshole. Stay away from her.

  • Petitioning the government for a redress of grievances.

    Without making car payments or paying for Mr. Specter's vacation.

    I like that kind of lobbying.

  • The "Republican" Senators that vote for this bill must be primaried the next time they are up for re-election.

    If they survive the primary...then Republicans should not vote for them.

  • the big problem is specter is not a conservative why vote for a phony

  • Look you" The Voter" had a chance when they were all supporting the bail outs well before there new elections came up.

    Americans vote out of fear look at what global warming has done to your young people

    their actually feeling depressed for being a human

    This is Government at it's best Fear This Fear That, Look theirs going to be a disaster if we don't pass this or pass that always fear fear fear.

    THE TRUTH IS YOUR BEING ROBBED

  • Where were you guys when Bush blew out the economy? Obama is just continuing Bush's liquidate America campaign

  • wow your fast !!! Kudo's.
