The wailing and the nashing of teeth.

Stimulus passes. The cloture thread mentioned in yesterday's comments is basically repeated again. Here are some highlights of the Freepers pining for the time when they had something like weight to throw around:

FarRightFanatic has a special hate for the GOP who voted for the bill.
OK- these 3 HAVE TO GO. We have to MAKE SURE they are shown the door when they come up for re-election.
This is absolutely disgusting.

So much for the "Republican Party isn't Conservative anymore" meme, eh? Suddenly, this is a betrayal of Republican values.

Maverick68 has different people and concepts to blame. Also racism!
Political Correctness is to blame for this. If anyone had the guts to tell the truth about Hussein and his bitch of a wife durning the campaign, he would have gotten under 40% of the vote. Time to start calling a spade a spade (no apologies)....

Thermalseeker sees where this is going:
Zimbabwe here we come. The idea of them wanting to cause massive inflation has certainly crossed my mind and this sort of unbridled borrowing, printing and spending of money would certainly do it. Huge debt is much easier to pay back with wildly a inflated currency....

Wow. The US isn't going the way of Sweden or even France or Germany. It's straight to Zimbabwe for us!

I guess meyer's a real fan of Zimbabwe sees a silver lining:
God helps those that help themselves. It's time to sink this ship. And I mean it. Shut it down.
We now have to do everything we can to minimize our taxes, and maximize the 'freebies" that we can get from the government. Bankrupt them now.

I think Mr. Silverback is pissed about regulation of medical care, but gets a bit creepy about it:
I called Snowe’s office and told them every time I go to the doctor from now on I’ll be thinking of two people: Senator Snowe and her 2012 opponent.

And, of course, there are those calling for a repeat of 1860:

I’m ready to hear some state secession conversation now. And ready and willing to pack up and move to any state that starts taking the necessary steps.


Just like you were ready when Obama was elected, and inaugurated and when Clinton was President. Good luck with that!

  1. Liberals get to threaten to move to Canada if things go tits up, and I always wondered where conservatives have to threaten to move to. Apparently, the answer is "wherever there is someone willing to start a bloody civil war." No surprises, I guess, that it involves death, destruction and horrible violence.

  2. Sadly, it's not just freepers who hope for Obama to fail. I've seen comments all over the place hoping for his failure, which is just really bizarre for me. I don't think the stimulus is large enough relative to our shortfall, and contains way too many tax cuts relative to spending, but I'll be very happy to be wrong.
