By a vote of 244-188, House Democrats passed the Obama Stimulus Plan today -- with NO Republican votes. Here is a panel discussion on MSNBC about the vote. You can already see how the Obama team will spin the vote - evil Republicans don't care about hurting people.
But the Republicans did the right thing today in voting - all of them - against the plan. Democrats and Obama will be forced to own what is in this plan, and the consequences of it. At least, I should say, Republicans must try and make them own what is in it, and the consequences of it. The media will not do it, and the Democrats will blame any bad consequences on George W. Bush, and seek to make the Republicans out to be the evil rich guys who hate average Americans. Whatever happens, the GOP members of the House can be proud they stood on principle - at least on this occasion. . . . . . . (watch video)

Excellent — that makes this 100% PURE DEMOCRAT SOCIALIST SPENDING PORK AND POLITICAL MONEY — A TRILLION BUCKS!!!!
Let us hope the Senate Repubs are as resolute as those in the House. Bless those Americans in the House.
Smart move by the GOP. Hope they repeat this strategy. If so, the Zero and the dems will OWN their failures.
I have not been this proud of the GOP in 8 years. Go Elephant!
wanna bet 30 R votes in the Senate?
Excellent, now the bipartisan stimulus is suddely a trillion dollar 100% Democrat PORK grab for acorn and condoms and amtrak. When America was on the ropes and asked the democrats for help they looted 1 trillion dollars for their pork programs. Thanks Donks you just gave us the house and Senate back in 2 years.
Ultra RINOs Michael Castle, Mark Kirk, and Walter Jones voted AGAINST a stimulus bill proposed by their buddy Obama? Are they feeling okay? Perhaps someone pressed the “NO” button by their desk when they were on their bathroom break or these RINOs got confused and accidentially hit the wrong button. Mark Kirk NEVER gives up a chance to suck up to the Democrats and stab the GOP in the back.
It'll never happen, the republicans are too stupid to do it and the media will give 0bama and the Rats cover by blacking out any republican complaints.
Republicans deserve all of this and more so with what will happen in the future.
Where is John McSTOOGE.............Isn’t he going to reach across the aisle?
What about CHICKEN LITTLE “Geo. BUSH” is the sky still falling?
I hope OBAMA wipes the Taxpayers ASSets completely out. Why?
Let these Idiots learn the hard way. Tell your Grandkids why you were so fricken STUPID!
If every single House Republican rightly voted against this hideous, pornographic robbery of America, there is NO EXCUSE for Senate Republicans to agree to this. NONE.
If any Senate Republican votes for this, the people of the afflicted states need to recall them.
Make Obama OWN IT.
The bill is so laden with raw pork we will be lucky if the nation doesn’t contract trichinosis.
Excellent indeed. I didn’t think we’d go 100 percent.
