Call, call, call! (Update: Passable compromise reached?)
Lots of great coverage on the stimulus boondoggle and the “compromise” bill over at Hot Air and Michelle Malkin. Look up your Senators’ phone numbers here so you can call them and urge them to vote no — even the Democrats!
A couple of notes:
Some of the “compromise” Senators are talking about stripping $100B out of the bill to make it palatable. Well, the Senate has already added $100B on top of the cost of the House version. So essentially, they aren’t really doing anything.
Secondly, at the Hot Air link, it’s noted that Mel Martinez (R-FL) might defect. What the **** ?!? He’s NOT EVEN running for REELECTION!! Why the heck would he DO that? There must be some palm-greasing there if he does.
Update: FNC is reporting that an $805B “compromise” has been reached that has three Republicans on board, but they are also reporting a vote will not take place tonight. What’s worse is that at the Hot Air link above, they are linking to a National Review report that Senator Carl Levin says all the crap removed from the bill will just be stuffed back in during the conference committee when no one will be looking!! This is what happens when Republicans eagerly feed at the Hopenchange trough.

Update II: At the Hot Air link above, there is a video from CNN. Axlerod says, ” I don’t think the American people are going to sit still and wait for Washington much longer.” I wonder what he means by that. Is he afraid we’ll go the route of Icelanders?
