Was the Copenhagen Global Warming Summit Walk-Out a Win for the U.S.?


GANG OF TEN

Not surprisingly, terrorist mastermind Osama bin Laden continues at the top of the FBI's Ten Most Wanted list with a $27 million bounty on his head.

The nine other most wanted men include reputed Boston organized crime leader James J. Bulger, wanted in connection with 19 counts of murder; handsome Jason Derek Brown, an avid golfer, snowboarder and skier who holds a business master's degree, who is wanted for murder in Arizona; former Arizona fireman and hospital technician Robert William Fisher, sought in the slaying of his family in Arizona; repeat killer Glen Stewart Godwin, who has escaped from prisons in Mexico and California; western ranch hand and Mississippi sex-crime suspect Edward Eugene Harper; Los Angeles street gang member Emigdio Preciado Jr.; security guard and Connecticut armed robbery suspect Victor Manuel Gerena; Idaho triple-murder suspect Jorge Alberto Lopez-Orozco; and Alexis Flores, wanted in a Philadelphia child killing.

OUCH!

"Mister Speaker, to paraphrase an old NFL films episode, there are 31 teams in the National Football League, and then there are the Pittsburgh Steelers."

So Rep. Jason Altmire, Pennsylvania Democrat, dared brag on the House floor this week. Mr. Altmire, first elected to Congress in 2006, was a member of Florida State University's first Sugar Bowl championship football team.

Collins, Specter & Snowe just SOLD OUT..

BREAKING NEWS:

Senators Collins, Specter & Snowe just sold the United States out. Calling them "RINOs" is an insult to RINOs.


http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D966EEQ80&show_arti cle=1

WASHINGTON (AP) - With job losses soaring nationwide, Senate Democrats reached agreement with KEY REPUBLICANS Friday night on an economic stimulus measure at the heart of President Barack Obama's plan for combatting the worst recession in decades. "The American people want us to work together. They don't want to see us dividing along partisan lines on the most serious crisis confronting our country," said SEN. SUSAN COLLINS of Maine, one of two GOP senators who signaled support for the bill.

Officials put the cost of the measure at $780 billion in tax cuts and new spending combined. No details were immediately available, and there appeared to be some confusion even among senators about the price tag as floor debate continued late into the night.

The agreement capped a tense day of backroom negotiations in which Senate Majority Leader HARRY REID, joined by White House chief of staff RAHM EMANUEL, sought to attract the support of enough Republicans to give the measure the needed 60-vote majority.

In addition to COLLINS, Sen. ARLEN SPECTER, R-Pa., said he would vote for the bill. Sen. OLYMPIA SNOWE, R-Maine, remained uncommitted." (cap emphasis mine)


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Thanks to these three SELL-OUTS (Collins, Specter and Snowe), a few years from now, our country will be forced to default on its debt obligations.

That’ll be after hyper-inflation has destroyed the value of our currency.

These 3 Traitors have enabled the Leftocrats to BORROW nearly a TRILLION DOLLARS, and flush it down the toilet on wasteful pet pork projects.

A trillion dollars.

That’s 1,000,000,000,000.00

If any of these three American Traitors (Senators Collins, Specter and Snowe) happen to be YOUR Senator, please, FIRE THEM.

costs, money, expenses

What was the cost to Americans for Atlmire to proclaim his love of the Steeler's ? Was it recorded, saved and published ? what cost?

the Dem's meeting was paid for by citizens. Remember, when a politician open his/her mouth you have a 90% assurance he/she is a liar.
