Why the GOP is holding out on the latest buyout/bailout bill: It’s loaded with pork, such as:
"Rather than returning any profits made in the long-term from the economic rescue package, Democrats want to first reward their radical allies at ACORN for their (often illegal) help in getting Democrats elected to office."
Other beneficiaries on the Dem Christmas Tree: trial lawyers, D.C. labor bosses, mortgage industry shills.
UPDATE: Sunday morning, the GOP seems to have succeeded in quashing the pork, but the pending bill is still verbal, has not been committed to paper yet. Looks, however, that ACORN is definitely out of the bill. No word yet on the other Dem ornaments on the Christmas tree.
