The Republicans in the House and Senate were completely cut out (of the spendulus bill) except for three senators who defected to vote for the Democratic plan.
Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania and Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe from Maine.
New revelations of political wheeling and dealing that helped get these liberal Republicans to betray their colleagues and parties are emerging.
For example, The New York Times reported that Arlen Specter insisted that the “stimulus” include $6.5 billion for “medical research.”
Yes, that’s $6.5 billion of your money.
Why so much?
The paper says Specter has cancer and he wants more funding for research.
No matter how worthy the cause, Specter’s receipt of a $6.5 billion political payoff proves that this bill was not about stimulus and jobs, but about political shenanigans.
Just goes to prove that "It's a scam. Everything a politician does is pure scam. It doesn't matter what party they claim - they're crooks." (quote from Jimbo)

I would rather have the money go into medical research which helps everyone, than the pork projects that just stuff pockets.

The 'Bridge to Nowhere' (the one sponsored by a senator, which Gov. Palin killed because she believed it a waste but stupid liberals still hang around her neck as her idea) was only $200 mil. And it was a physical thing that can be measured.
"Research" may be measured by the depth of a researcher's pocket - so far they are found to be bottomless.
Arlene Specter is one of the biggest phonies in a congress filled with phonies. He's a liberal RINO, ala Juan McLoser.
Research? Ask Jerry Lewis about research. His phony telethons have collected Billions over the last 40+ years, and "Jerry's kids" are not one inch closer to a cure from MS. The only thing research grants do is keep a lot of people on a payroll, while no one really knows what they're doing.

Here's another dirty little secret most people are not aware of. When you receive a government grant for research, the government doesn't care what you do with that money, so long as you spend it all. If you don't, you won't get any more. Put another way, the government is forcing you to waste the money.
