This is a memo from Speaker Nancy Pelosi to Democratic members sent after the stimulus vote yesterday. Pelosi is apparently panicked at Republicans’ success in uniting against her hyperpartisan actions in shutting them out of the formulation of the stimulus bill and in peeling nearly a dozen Dems off to vote in opposition.
Here is the full text of the memo leaked to HUMAN EVENTS this morning.
Memo
To: Interested Parties
From: Brendan Daly
Re: The Republican Problem
Date: January 29, 2009
The House Republican Leadership put its Members in another politically untenable position yesterday: trying to reclaim the mantle of lower taxes and small government -- at the exact time when economists of every ideological stripe agree that government investments are the only way to get our economy moving again and make us competitive for the long term.
So yesterday, while we are facing the greatest economic crisis in decades, Republican House Members ended up voting unanimously against:

HA! HA! stretchface!....You left wing whack jobs now get all the credit for this pile of crap! That’s whats scaring you!
LIES!
Did algore write this? Sounds like the "all scientists believe in man-made global warming" nonsense.
You’re beating your head against a wall. Good rant though and I agree.
Well, there is some evidence that leeching actually works sometimes! Those old doctors were on to something, LOL.
That said, I think this bill was horrific and I’m so glad the GOP was united against it. If the Bush tax cuts expire my family will lose $6000 a year, assuming my husband doesn’t get laid off again (he was from Dec 3rd til today—starts a new job today)!
We need to do something to help businesses (tax cuts) so they can “chill with the layoffs” (as another Freeper said a few days ago).
Layoffs will not help consumers spend more. Quite the contrary! My husband and I literally spent nothing “extra” since Christmas. We simply entered no stores and our credit cards stayed in our wallets.
Nutso Pelosi, Reid, Obama OWN this nightmare.
All the coming corruption, the mis-spent money, the failed programs, the missing moneys, the pork, all the things we know gubmint is going to do when given massive funds and power.
They own it now. And there will be a political price to pay.
Of course all the economists protesting the DEB (Depression Enhancement Act) are ignored. See this:

Oh, and Deb, I guess I should have pinged you if I was going the name the Obama Bill after you.
That was before The One, and Pelosi had her thumb on any available campaign $$ from DNC. But you’re right, the proof is in the pudding ....time will tell.
What are you doing on this forum you damn socialist? Go to DailyKos or DU.
I fervently pray that the Republicans KEEP this spine they have apparently grown recently.
She is right in saying that many “conservative” economists are nothing more than Socialist-lite...
But to suggest there is unanimity is absurd. It’s like suggesting there is unanimity among scientists that Al Gore’s version of Global Warming is real.
I don’t see it that way. I think it’s a talking-points memo. Watch for these ‘lines’ to appear in the MSM.
Herbert Hoover was a RINO; his tax and protectionist policies took a market crash and turned it into a depression.
FDR continued and increased the size and scope of those crazy policies; thereby lengthening the depression until only a World War got us out!
They're like the cheating husband who finally feels the marriage slipping away, so he decides to come home for dinner. Don't worry though. By next week they'll be breaking your heart again. Might not even take that long.
They have already started. What gets me is that the pubbies never ask them why it was so important to get the GOP to vote for this bill when they already had more than enough to pass it anyway.
"Investments"
Myass.

At last we learn the author of “GRAVITAS”
Message to Republicans: Keep opposing, and you win. Collaborate, and you get screwed.
Obama will be saved by the king of bipartisan politics. John McCain. Just watch!
.....Nancy Pelosi is an incompetent.....
Perhaps not. She is the de facto leader of the moonbats and has full control of the legislative agenda. Obama is he lap dog
