Democrats kill McCain's alternative stimulus plan
1 hour ago

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate has killed an alternative economic stimulus plan by Sen. John McCain that would have cut income and payroll taxes but spent far less than President Obama's plan.

The party-line 57-40 vote against McCain's $421 billion plan came Thursday as a group of moderate Democrats and Republicans struggled to cut up to $100 billion from Obama's version.

McCain's plan would have cut the bottom two income tax brackets and lowered corporate income taxes. It also would have extended unemployment benefits and provide money to repair and replace military equipment worn out in Iraq and Afghanistan.

So what can we do now? Get on the phone to our congressmen and demand they take another look at what McCain offered?

Remember how the Dow spiked up when McCain was gaining momentum before the election? Sure hasn't happened since with the big Zero's plan.

About all we can do now is to let the Dems pass it and watch them cook in their own gravy.

This "Purple-Lipped" SOB that everyone thought was gonna be so great for our country is letting Pelosi & Reid ruin our entire way of life.

I'm willing to do most anything to get the ball back rolling but giving up $10,000.00 of my hard earned money towards an entitlement program is hogwash.

Is "purple-lipped" another one of your subtle allusions to baseball tradition that only someone smart and perceptive like hopalong will pick up on?

Please give an explanation so some of us slow-witted Liberals can understand.

Next time pick someone that is not so Corporate bought out- with a record of coverup and corruption as someone like McCain...... Anyone that would backslap GW Bush and support him 95% of the time- especially while spending like a drunken sailor- building the biggest bureaucracy in history, building the biggest national debt in history- and never questioning any of it does not represent the values of Conservatives or the old Republican party...

But I think Bush has done in the Repub party-- and with the huge influx of Democrat voting folks both McCain and the Dem party back and want to import-along with the current loss of a couple of generations because of Repubs extremist social issues of telling you how to live your life :roll: - you might not see them in control again in this generation....

Choosing a black committee chairman is just a comedy and joke that doesn't coverup the years of rich elitist white grey haired corporate greed profiteers makeup that has dominated the party the last few years... :(
Almost an admittance that they have no ideas/new direction of their own.....
