Angry sore LOSER John McCain on stimulus vote: "I guarantee this is not bipartisan"

LOL, I'm noticing a lot of angry sore losers posting on here, how ironic!

WASHINGTON, DC: Republican senators on Friday ripped at a pared-down economic stimulus plan to pump $780bn into the US economy and warned President Barack Obama against strong-arming lawmakers to pass the bill.

"If this legislation is passed, it will be a very bad day for America," Senator John McCain of Arizona said on the Senate floor.

"I had some Orwellian experiences here in the Senate over the years that I have been here, but this one ranks up near the top in the word bipartisanship that's being thrown around as far as this package is concerned."

South Dakota Senator John Thune called the stimulus package "the largest inter-generational transfer of debt in human history."

The bill's supporters noted that its price tag would be far smaller than the $937bn previously under consideration, a reduction aimed at winning over elusive Republican support that was entirely absent when the House of Representatives passed its version of the measure last week.

Under pressure from the White House, lawmakers were to take up by next week the compromise hatched by a group of swing-vote Republicans and Democrats.

Republican South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham lashed out against Obama for the president's biting attack on Republicans late Thursday to drum up support for the bill.

"But that speech last night--I'm sure you're not, but if you are listening, think twice about doing that again," Graham warned.

"I hope it is okay for you to believe that I'm somewhat concerned about the process here and how we wound up spending $1.1 trillion," Graham said.

"Please don't say that this is change I can believe. And please don't underestimate how the public is pulling for you but they don't like this bill."

Graham was also sharply critical, saying an opportunity to "start over" had been squandered.

"We've sunk back into the swamp. We've spent more money than we should. History will not judge us well. And the hard part is yet to be done," he said.

Republicans were eager to put the brakes on the bill, calling into question Obama's push for its passage of what would be more than one billion dollars in spending, including interest, before the mid-February break.

"Let's slow down. Let's take our time," said Senator Mike Johanns of Nebraska. "Few things are going to be as important as this."

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said most Republicans had little faith that the stimulus would work.

"All the historical evidence suggests that it's highly unlikely to work and so then you have to balance the likelihood of success versus the crushing debt that we're levying on the backs of our children, our grandchildren, and, yes, their children." (AFP)

@terwal11 your first sentence should read "Republicans are just TOO stupid to talk to"

@lesueurman Don't look now, but health insurance has gone up again since Obummer passed his "health care" bill. You are the ignorant one. Obama is THE SAME as Bush, only he's destroyed more in less time! He's the same! He has the same policies! MORE wars! MORE spending! MORE borrowing! MORE of everything that limits freedom! OBAMA AND BUSH ARE THE SAME! YOU are ignorant and apparently choose to remain that way. Really sad.

@noobmaster31 The idiots who voted this disaster named Obama into office should be sent to work on government collective farms in North Dakota along with Michael Moore. He's an empty suit with no real original ideas for "change" and he has NO PLAN. He enjoys the golf and travel and hanging out with celebrities, but he's a lazy butt who hates the work of being President - except for the give-aways to cronies in exhange for buying votes. LOSERS. Ron Paul, 2012!

@terwal11 Oh yeah - the stimulus worked SO WELL didn't it? It wasn't bipartisan and it was put together behind closed and locked doors, just like Obummercare and every other debacle that's been passed on the hill. Now, they're debating on whether to give this administration MORE money? Jimmy Carter is no longer the worst President in history - Obummer is.

Republicans Are just to stupid to talk to, it is a waste of time. They know how to shot and how fight. They just can't think. So please let the smart ones run the country ....Don't give up Obama. And yes the republicans shouldn't have the right to vote.

Cry Baby Son Of A Bitch!  The ignorant REPUBLICANS ALL seem to be oblivious to the fact that health insurance costs DOUBLED during George W. Bush's 8 goddamn years! Why the hell aren't they saying anything about the 8 years that G.W. Let health care costs double? Ignorant bastards.
