From Scott Wheeler
Let me tell you the real reason Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid pushed through the biggest spending bill in history — without proper debate, without Republican input, and without any public scrutiny at all.
Simply, they are trying to turn the United States into a one-party country and to put the Republican Party out of business once and for all.
The massive appropriation called a stimulus — some $787 billion of your money — is really a political war chest for the Democrats.
They want to change the face of American politics forever, and they want to use your taxpayer money to do it.
Big Lie No. 1: The Emergency
They told us that the country is in such a dire situation that it was an emergency.
That was Big Lie No. 1: The bill was not an emergency measure.
This was a ruse. They falsely claimed it was an emergency bill to cut off all debate.
The lie about the urgency was made clear when President Obama, rather than immediately signing the bill, went on vacation to celebrate Valentine's Day with his wife in Chicago. [Amazingly he had been in Washington less than a month before he took his first vacation!]
In fact, Obama took almost four days to sign this “urgent” bill.
Big Lie No. 2: Immediate Stimulus
And then there is Big Lie No. 2: The bill offered immediate help to our ailing economy.
The truth: The bill does not offer significant, immediate stimulus.
Most of the stimulus money won't even be spent this year, according to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office!
And the CBO has warned that the bill actually will hurt long-term economic growth.
Infrastructure programs, including items such as $8 billion for a high-speed train between Los Angeles and Las Vegas, will take a decade or longer to complete — if environmentalists ever let the project begin.
Republican traitor Arlen Specter, who backed the stimulus bill, got more than $6 billion in the bill for “medical research” — another lulu that has nothing to do with immediate economic stimulus.
Big Lie No. 3: Bipartisan Support
Then there is Big Lie No. 3: This bill was a bipartisan effort to save the economy.
It was anything but.
Republican Sen. Lindsay Graham said bluntly: “If this is going to be bipartisanship, the country's screwed."
Indeed, every Republican in the House voted against the bill, along with six courageous Democratic congressmen.
In the Senate, almost every Republican opposed the bill except three liberals: Sens. Olympia Snowe, Susan Collins and Arlen Specter.
Obama promised he would change the “old politics” of Washington. Instead, he is playing hardball partisan Democratic politics of the Chicago type.
He has used the weakening economy as his Reichstag fire event to get to pass an incredible amount of money so he could funnel huge amounts of pork and political payoffs to his Democratic cronies and allies.
And now, he is even talking about a second stimulus program! Why not? Congress just passed his first bill without even reading it! What a joke . . .

I have no doubt what the real purpose of the stimulus bill was.
Simply, it was to lay the ground work of the remaking of America's political system into a one-party system.
Yes, a one-party socialist state that destroyed countries like Mexico.
We have seen what one-party rule has done to cities like Cleveland, Detroit, other cities — and corrupt Chicago.
The media will never tell you this, but that's the real agenda behind the Obama stimulus bill.
This is why so little of the stimulus is spent now, but spread out over several years.
This means Obama and Democrats will have hundreds of billions to disburse to their supporters, creating a new party cadre that will help them win re-election in 2010 and 2012.
Don't believe me?
Well, we all know the fraud perpetrated by groups like ACORN to register Democratic voters.
In the run-up to the 2009 election, millions of new “voters” were registered – and it clearly helped elect Obama – and gave the Democrats big majorities in the House and Senate.
Their game plan for 2008 worked. Now they want to use public funds — our tax dollars — to pay for more of their political activities.
For example, the final stimulus bill gives $3 billion to groups like ACORN.
Consider that, in 2008, Obama claimed that he raised $750 million for his campaign. Compared with that amount, ACORN's $3 billion is staggering.
No doubt, these billions will help ACORN in its political work of “community organizing” — a euphemism for Democratic activitism.
