98 % Republicans said no to Stimulus. They want to fail at all cost just to say Ah Huh while the country suffers!Do Republicans Get it ? Or do they get paid to rant?
THEM AND ALQUAEDA BOTH WANT AMERICA TO FAIL....THEIR SIMILARITIES ARE STARTING TO SHOW.Do Republicans Get it ? Or do they get paid to rant?
Please pay attention as to WHY they don't like the stimulus plan. It's not having a stimulus plan. The repubs agree with having a stimulus plan. They just dont agree with the crap Nancy Pelosi %26amp; her friends threw together.
There were alot of fluff put into their stimulus plan. They (Obama) even admits that not all of the things in the plan are going to have a stimulus effect.
Perhaps the plan should be renamed ';the spending plan';. The repubs just want a plan that will have a direct effect to stimulate the economy. Not a plan to throw a whole bunch of money into re-sodding the washington monument lawn. Repubs believe these types of expenditures are fluff and don't stimulate the economy as a whole...
Trust me.. Republicans are PATRIOS. They want Obama to succeed because they want AMERICA to succeed.
Your premise is flawed. The vast majority of Republicans said no to a Bill that they do not think does much to stimulate the economy and does too much to make things worse. The House Republicans had an alternative Bill, cited below, but the Democrats would not even consider it.
The question is not if Republicans get paid to rant but if everyone here has the facts or not.

No sir you are imposing your own ideology onto the situation. You obviously have ill will against Republicans that keeps you from seeing their argument, that historically large government spending plans such as the stimulus do not work. Either way this money must be printed or borrowed and them repaid plus interest. This repayment will have to come at the expense of the American people that are supposed to be helped. Even if the money is printed to pay for this, this will greatly increase the money supply in the system and cause inflation, that also hurts the average American. If you actually consider these long turn affects voting no could actually be the right thing to do for America.
If was a stimulus package out there the republicans would be all for it but instead we got a democrat pet project financing bill.

I am not a Republican but I agree with the 98% of them that said THIS stimulus bill is a bad idea. Do you get the fact that the Constitution gives strict and very limited power to the government, and they are exceeding those powers. It is both parties that are guilty so do not take this as a rant against your side. The current level of government involvement in private business is prohibited by the Constitution. A guy posted a link to a Youtube video of Ok. senator Coburn that is very much the truth. Look it up and tell me what you think; it is titled The Stimulus is unconstitutional.
Spending is against the theory of the fiscal conservative. I am a fiscal conservative, not a moral conservative. I do not care who you sleep with but I do care that my children and their children will have a less quality of life because of the debt that is administration has just secured for the future generations. I am amazed at the dishonestly of the Liberals when they scream about the spending of the Bush administration when if you look at the numbers; it occur ed during a democrat congress(2006) you know Congress controls the money. The republicans said no to the Stimulus because they were handed the finished bill at 11pm the night before the day they were to vote on it. No one read it and I personally would like my representative to know what they are voting on. Don't you?
Did it ever occur to you that possibly you are being led down the Rosy path to complete dependence on the government ? We have been headed in this direction for decades and recently the liberal faction in government has made huge advances toward complete control. Individual rights still have a flicker of life but that will be snuffed out soon. Stupidity will usher in the final steps of the destruction of freedom as we once knew it. I doubt that the masses will ever recognize nor understand what and how they were robbed of their last few liberties. They have not noticed a thing in the past fifty years so they aren't likely to get smart now. Example. Where did we ever get the idea that the government was responsible for our health care ?
Wrong again. We want the country to succeed not fail. the problem is that we know this spending has not worked in the past for the USA or for Japan. So how is this historical spending bill going to work when it is full of pet projects. Sorry but repeating history still amounts to failure. We'll see. And we'll wait to see what the excuses are. In the mean time Find a way to create Jobs and not just temporary work.

Why do Dems even care what Republicans do or say???
You DOMINATE the Senate, the House, and the Presidency!!
Interesting how Obama and the DEMS still want Republicans on board for legislation!
Why?? Probably because Congressional Dems know it's a spending bill and know it won't work.
Yes, remember that too...98% did not want it. So when it fails I expect Democrats to take responsibility for it.
This is not new, republicans warning Democrats of definite failure. How soon we forget. Let's look back to discussions about Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in 2004. Republicans warning Democrats that there are major problems, Democrats saying no no no.
Let's watch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MGT_cSi7…
There you go. Democrats defending the lenders from regulation. Oops.
I see a lot of people on here referring to Clinton's stimulus bill in 1993. There is a slight difference. Clinton's stimulus bill was $16 billion, not $787 billion. No Republican voted for it then either. You can not buy your way out of debt. Its one thing to create a stimulus package that results in the government getting some money back by making low interest loans, etc. Its another just to spend, spend, spend. The $30 million on the San Francisco mouse should add a great deal to the economy. Who knows? Maybe they have been eating San Francisco's money.
We rant just to make libs get all frustrated and get their shorts in a wad.
Its kind of like having longer arms than a smaller person, pissing them off, then holding your hand on their forehead and watching them swing at you
:D
Well, a plurality of Americans oppose the so-called stimulus, with a majority opposing or having no opinion. So the truth is, the Republicans get it.
The country????? Under the Bush admin I paid very little in taxes. Had opportunities abound, and was proud to be an AMERICAN! I am still proud to be an American, even though the ***** living in the white house isn't.
This is such a funny question. ';Do they get paid to rant?';
Don't you wish YOU had a job like that?
No, you will soon be wishing everyone had had the good sense to vote against this ridiculous pork package.
Enjoy doing without.
The only ones that OBVIOUSLY want the US to fail are the democrats in congress that decided to add hundreds of billions of dollars in wasteful spending to the stimulus package.
The package should have included money to rebuild energy,healthcare,education,infrastructu… and massive tax cuts.THATS IT!!!I don't want to pay 300 million dollars on contraceptives. It wont stimulate anything.
They said no to wasteful spending that was intermingled in what little stimulus there was in the bill. Have you even read any of its porky provisions? Or are you just dumb enough to swallow whatever Obama puts in your mouth?
its the opposite, repubs want us to succeed, they voting against the bill because they believe it will fail. come on man, stop spouting nonsense, you sound like a typical liberal hate monger.
No, Pinko. Republicans rant for free. Democrats are the ones who get paid because they don't work for a living and expect everyone to be on the dole.
Incorrect, we get it. 98% of Republicans say no to the false stimulus package just passed. We are in favor of an actual stimulus plan that might have some chance of success..
We don't agree that massive gov't spending is going to do a damn thing to help the economy. Why are the Dems still asking about this, y'all got your monstrosity?
Just how much do you know about this Bill? Have you read it? You are blowing off steam because you have no idea what you are talking about!
Loyalty is good - blind loyalty is stupid!
They understand that this bill is not a stimulus bill and that no one had a chance to read the fricken thing- being responsible is so evil I know
They said no because they want to fail? Stimulus didn't work too well for FDR or Bush. Opposing failed policies certainly isn't for want of failure.
I don't get paid to rant, I get two whole points to rant. That's = to the $13.00 extra I get to keep of my own money each week.
it is not the republicans that wants America to suffer but democrat policies.
Why do you care?
The same bill worked under the Clinton administration and most republicans were against it.
The GOP will be the laughing stock of all things politic and Fox News will be the laughing stock of all the major news channel.
You're giving them what they want and that is your annoyance
They only say that because a Democrat is in the White house. For the last 8 years they didn't give a damn about the deficit. Now all of the sudden they've become deficit hawks again.
Apparently they like to rant. As, obviously, do you.
It's their plan to get control again of Washington. They are just shooting themselves in the foot though.

I took my samsung rant to cricket to flash it, to fully flash it and they said they were unable. Why is that?
they sell the exact same phone and it just confuses me why i cant flash mine.
i like their prices so help me out here please!!!I took my samsung rant to cricket to flash it, to fully flash it and they said they were unable. Why is that?
Ok first of all, this section is about the sport known as cricket and not the mobile phone company.
Secondly, i doubt each store would have equipment to flash a phone and even if they did; it is probably not allowed to be done as it could break a different companies contract and get them sued if they did it regularly.
Just get it done elsewhere, and put a cricket sim in it.pimple makeup stores

Further to my recent rant about energy prices .......?
along with my new found skill of posting links - This could be good news at last couldn't it?
http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2008/…Further to my recent rant about energy prices .......?
Don't get too excited. This is just a ruse to make us shut up and go away for a while. They will come back and say the (disgusting) increase is fair!Further to my recent rant about energy prices .......?
A few brown envelopes with make the inquiry findings favorable to the suppliers.
What I want our politicians to do is to ask this question. ';Why are energy prices going up';? There is no shortage of natural gas - the Dutch have the major part of the North Sea gas fields - we buy from them.
There is an estimated 200 years of coal beneath our feet here in Britain. What are we waiting for? Get digging.
The reason for the increase [often in the region of 15% or more] in the price of fuel is lead by greed. Nothing else. Not a reasonable profit, but greed.
We were told that if we switched energy suppliers we could avoid the increases for a while. Not so. It is a lie. All the energy companies operate as a cartell - they all charge the same for their energy.
The simple way to control energy prices is to Nationalise the energy businesses.
Of course I realise there is a whole generation of people now in UK who have never experienced living in a Socialist country where prices were controlled when the people owned everything.
My water company is French. Just how effin' stupid is that?
This is not free enterprise, it's joining the collaborators.
It's the same with everything, the cost of raw materials go up, the prices go up to reflect it. The cost goes back down, the price to the consumers stays the same or if you do get a reduction, it's not as much as the initial rise anyway.
Good luck guys! Every couple of years (usually around an election season) the Congress of the United States instigates a probe into fuel prices and energy companies profits.
This has been going on for decades! They have never, I repeat, NEVER influenced the price of fuel.
The only time the government ever tried to reduce fuel costs was back in the 70's when they instituted price controls, and the energy companies sabotaged that effort by creating shortages. Turned out to be a near disaster.
But hey, good luck. Maybe you have some government officials with integrity!
I'm not building up my hopes, I've just moved, I was all electric, and I compared my last bill with one from the same period 4 years ago, it was a little under 3 times as much.
edit: if anyone is unlucky enough to have prepayment metres check this out: www.ebico.co.uk, or call: 0800 458 7689 they don't charge extra.
Very good though I wonder how long it will take and how much the energy companies will milk us for before agreeing to a reduction that will close the enquiry with the usual mumbles.
Also, I don't see anything mentioning pre-paid metering being considered. It does say that direct debit customers are 'only' paying 13% rather than 15%. It doesn't mention that people with token meters or key meters also pay a charge for having a meter, so their increase will be nearer 20%. Oddly, it's often people who have got in arrears that have these meters, so again the poor and disadvantaged are paying more.
The 'liberalised' UK market this article speaks of is another term for the privatization of energy. It is an inefficient model if you're trying to reduce consumption.
After all, it's not in the interest of shareholders for their customers to reduce usage. The only way to reduce output and still pay their dividends is to increase prices and see by how much before the public squeaks. What is suspicious is that these companies all increased at the same percentage rate, more or less.
Also, shareholders' profit is supposed to be built on the investment they're making in the company. But the Grid and most of the existing infrastructure was built from UK taxes. Thatcher and her cronies helped themselves to the country's silverware through privatisation. I hope that this enquiry exposes some of the vested interests politicians old and new have in the Great Energy Theft .
Heh, I can rant too.
What's the betting that they find for the energy companies?
They should re-nationalise the lot.
man I have to pay $100 a month just to get gas. that doesn't include what I use. So an average winter months it costs me almost $300 to heat my house!
we need all the good news we can get cheers
About time the MPs looked into the Gas companys
May not make a difference, depends how much British Gas contributes to the Labour party
or am I being cynical again
It's about time it was looked into Fuel prices are an obscene disgrace in the UK, the government might want to look a little closer to home at the same time and review the equally obscene amount of tax they put on it.

they have one. The sidekick!! the sidekick is probably way better then the rant or rumor. Haha. I am getting the rant though in a month :]Will T-Mobile get a messaging phone like Sprint's Rant and Rumor?
yes there are some coming out next year around q2 and q3..they dont really make phones for messaging because of the sidekick.!
