Fixed.
I wonder...
Remember Monty Python’s knight whose arms, etc, were cut off? How can the Republicans fight when the Democraps don’t need their votes at all?
“Elections have consequences.” So true, this one more so than any in history, and all of them will be bad unless Republicans figure out how to get their act together and win the next two.
Until the Republicans voted in unison against the faux stimulus package, I would agree completely.
Now...I’m going to take a ‘watch and see’ attitude.
I think it behooves us to pay attention and point out that Obama says one thing (bipartisanship—a new sort of politics) and does something entirely different (I won). Your mileage may vary but the word needs to be out there. You don’t expect the MSM to say anything do you?
Agreed. Total stupidity in the last 4 years.
Indeed - they spent like sailors on leave during the Bush tenure and now whine about the fiscal irresponsibility of the bailout(s). They used the whole Bush presidency to lob money at well-lobbied companies. And we still have this recession. Does anyone finally get that federal spending of money it does not have is counter-productive???
I would hope the lesson has been learned but am afriad it has not been. I base this on the silence here on FR about creative ways to revive industry in the USA. You can't have money unless you create goods or services of real value. And yet, where is the Pubbie that has proposed getting government off the backs of people who want to create jobs, refine oil, refine coal, etc?
If they use it properly, they still have the ability to reach voters. They need to POUND on every mistake that makes things worse. I hardly expect them to do this, but they should. And they should never let the Dems and Obama use them for cover, as he’s trying to do on this stimulus bill. Of course, it’s an uphill battle, but they need to fight it.
Right again. They will control the votes through funded fraud and we will be paying endlessly for their stimulation.
It's our duty to conduct a scorched earth policy against these liberal Fascists, similar to that conducted by the Soviets in their retreat before the invading German armies in 1941.
The Leftists have swiftly become as arrogant as those Germans were all those years ago, and seem to be comporting themselves in much the same manner.
We don't have to cooperate.
Cut your spending to the bone. Every nickel you deny to their "stimulus" is a victory.
If you try to make any money right now, they're just going to steal it to spread around to their non-taxpaying voting base.
This shows that the GOP needs a set. Every one of the people in that room won. Otherwise they wouldn’t be there. Duh!
Extra money= ammo and survival food.
Nothing else for the socialist economy in this house.
The Dems don’t need their votes, but we need to see that they are at least on OUR side. There is a record of those votes and someday it may matter when they come up for reelection.
I really would like to slap that chit eating grin off his face that he always seems to give.
Indeed!
GWB: "I'm a uniter, not a divider!"
BO: "I won!"
ACORN will insure that reparations will be in every stimulus bill they pass every 6 months or so. They just don’t call it that. ACORN is filled with illegal aliens too like their sister griup the SEIU union.
Any house member won their seat as well and is there to represent his district. This pompous ass believes that because he won the presidency that no one has a say in the process. This just goes to show you his arrogance or his ignorance. (I believe the former attribute is a product of the later.)
Also important is to remind the Blue Dogs that they hail from conservative districts (indeed, Queen Nancy had them run as conservatives to get them elected). These districts need to hold the Blue Dogs feet to the fire.
