There is no way to prove or disprove any of this. Watch, though - I will be called names for even saying it.

I did not vote for Obama, and I disagree strongly with the majority of items in this spending bill. Obama is doing the wrong thing - McCain would have done the wrong thing also, but his wrong thing would be a different wrong thing that would have us end up in just as much debt (or more as the numbers indicate that the GOP borrows and spends).

We, as a country, need to wake up and realise that neither party is what we think it is or want it to be. And we need to start voting accordingly.

I agree that doing nothing would be better than the "Stimulus Plan."
Pain IS going to be felt in this economic downturn. No plan would allow the pain to be felt by those who thought they were beating the system. Instead of by us paying for their corruption.
I think Gore and/or Kerry would have been much worse than Bush. Just as Obama is going to be.
I agree McCain would have made wrong moves too, any politicians available today would.

I think McCain 'took' one for the Party. I think the GOP KNEW they had NO chance after Bush and McCain's career is in twilight, so he was the 'lamb' sent to slaughter. I think the GOP was surprised it wasn't Hillary that got the nod but they had made their bed by then.
