Gang of 18 Democratic Douchebags and their GOP Buddies
Chris Bowers provides a helpful list of the Democrats determined to make sure Obama’s stimulus fails. If the bill is weakened or stalls, and the economy continues to spiral into depression, blame these assholes:
the “Gang of 18″ Senators–aka, the Collins-Nelson group to strip tens of millions of dollars from the stimulus package. With some light editing, here is his list:
Confirmed (16)

Things must be GREAT in these states, or at least their legislators think so. is nebraska really an economic powerhouse? i called nelson’s office and they told me i was nuts for suggesting as much. “Nebraskans are not wealthy people, no matter what you think Mr. Skwire,” was what I was told angrily. Sue Collins and Olympia Snowe must think 7% unemployment is healthy for Maine. Connecticut’s doing worse than Maine, but not-really-a-democrat Joe Lieberman thinks that’s just swell for his state. hey it’s only a short ride to another state, right joe?
Or what about Ohio, boasting a 7.8% unemployment rate? That’s something for George Voinovich to be proud of!
Click here for the Burea of Labor Statistics, a website the “gang of 18 douchebags” has clearly never visited. If they had, they would know that not one on their states is doing well. they are all up the fucking creek without a paddle.
But instead of actually DOING anything about it, these wealthy and out-of-touch fools are more concerned with playing political games, and clinging to their rigid ideologies.
And why not? after all, it’s only the little people who suffer.
