So this is where the GOP has decided to make their stand. How very meaningful. How brave.

I guess fighting Zero's cabinet selections and the Porkulus Bill was just not important enough.

Actually the House GOP is trying to stimulate the economy by forcing the purchase of 6 million TVs.

The Democrats want the “delay” so they can cram ANOTHER $625M of pork into the “stimulus” by funding MORE coupons for digital converter boxes.

Sheesh we’ve known about this for YEARS. Now TV is a constitutional right?

It’s power, pork and politics plan and simple. The Republicans should be applauded for this stand and encouraged to stand against the other outrages as well.

Yep, of all the targets, the Stupublicans pick the windmill.

This is where we hold them!

This is where we fight!

This is where they lose their analog signal!

Remember this day men.For,it will be yours for all time!

Where have you been?

The House GOP is voting “NO” on the stimulus package. It won’t mean a difference because they don’t have the numbers to stop it, but they’re making a stand on principle. The stimulus package will likely pass, but it will be WITHOUT GOP support.

Republicans probably won the digital TV vote because enough Dems opted not to vote at all. It’s not meaningful in the grand scheme of things, but it is far from the only stand the GOP has taken recently.

I think there may be hope for the Republican Party yet.

Actually the House has been pretty good so far, but they don’t have the numbers to really effect anything in the House. Its the Senate that Republicans are made of marshmallow fluff., which may be an insult to fluff.

[Dionysius]

If nothing else, it showed a remarkable solidarity in the GOP caucus. Should the numbers hold up for the “stimulus” bill, there might be hope for the party yet. But then again, there’s the Senate.
