Just also heard lobbyists were the first to see the bill. Figures since we are the ones paying the bills and should be the first to see it and have any say over this huge pile of horsesh!@......

The last Aye vote is expected to come from Brown around 10:30 EST tonight because he is attending his mother's wake.

Dixie

and obama is providing a plane for him to fly back to vote.
HOW NICE!!! i bet he would not do that for a republican.

AND i always thought when voting started, you only had so long to vote,
why are we having to wait FOUR hours for one final vote???
ABSOLUTELY UN-FREAKING-BELIEVABLE

It is unbelievable... Bend the rules when you need to.

They won't even let the man put his mother to rest.

My (lack of) esteem for this government dwindles daily...

And it is passed in the Senate like a thief in the night.

Shame on all of those who voted for socialism, especially the three Republicans who have no idea what is in the bill now and they would have a very easy out.

Ephesians 4:32

Unbelievable how they vote and don't even read what they vote for.

Hope this backfires on the Reps who voted for it. But still the Dems and Obama will own this socialist porker-filled piece of junk.

BREAKING DOWN THE HOUSE STIMULUS VOTE


From NBC’s Mike Viqueira


Here's your quick down-and-dirty guide to the House vote on the stimulus.

There were seven Dems joining Republicans in opposition: Colin Peterson (MN), Gene Taylor (MS), Peter DeFazio (OR), Bobby Bright (AL), Parker Griffith (AL), Heath Shuler (NC) and Walter Minnick (ID).

Peterson (MN) has been here for years, and Dems are just happy to have him among their number, since he comes from a Republican majority district. He frequently sides with Republicans.

Taylor out of Mississippi, ditto.

Defazio is a liberal upset with the cuts that the Senate made, and angry that three Republicans over there had so much sway. He is on the Transportation Committee, and many folks from that group thought that road, bridge, etc., construction was left short.

Bright and Griffith are freshman from Alabama in swing districts.

Shuler is in a similar situation in western North Carolina.

Minnick is a freshman from conservative Idaho.

On the other hand, Dems this time brought a few Blue Dogs back into the fold, including Allen Boyd and Jim Cooper.

But how did Republicans defy the odds and keep every one of their number in line?

There is the obvious fact that the old breed of "Main Street," Chamber of Commerce-style Republicans, is getting scarce (matter of fact, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce supported the measure), and that the vast majority of House Republicans are fiscal conservatives, at the least.

We are told that two Republicans from high-unemployment Michigan, Fred Upton and Candice Miller, were targeted by the White House. Upton was quite conspicuous at the side of President Obama in neighboring Indiana this week, and the president called his name from the podium when he spoke.

But both Upton and Miller were convinced to vote against the bill after their party included a provision to help boost car sales in its alternative. That alternative failed, but it provided enough cover for them after a similar measure was stripped from the final version of the legislation.

We are told that Joseph Cao of Louisiana was one of the last possibilities for a switcher, but that GOP leadership pointed out that he would be out there alone, and so he relented. Dems, are at this moment, writing his political obituary.

The theory on Jim Gerlach, he of the 59% Obama district, is that he wants to run for governor of Pennsylvania, and he is protecting his right flank.

Mark Kirk of Illinois is also said to harbor statewide ambitions.
