Frustrated Senate Democratic leaders dispensed with calls for bipartisanship on the stimulus package Thursday, with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid saying that he won't let anyone "hold the president of the United States hostage."
President Barack Obama had once hoped to have the package pass with substantial Republican support. But Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said that's now a distant memory."
"So far," he said, bipartisanship "isn't working."
But in an interview with Politico, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said that the Democrats - not the Republicans - have made a mockery of bipartisanship.
Senators are in a panic this bill is stinking up the place, Graham said then accused Obama of being AWOL in the stimulus discussions.

Someone needs to tell these ‘RAT dumbasses that “bipartisanship” ISN’T defined as having the GOP sign off on every Socialist package that the piggies on the hill can dream up.
Harry Reid= Senile POS.
The sooner this POS passes w/o GOP help, the sooner the GOP can start running on it. Make all the dims sign their name to this crap sandwich.
I think they’re absolutely terrified that this will pass on a party line vote.
Bi-Partisanship will never work when Obama and the Democrats sneak off to Williamsburg to plot against them.
Thats right Obama and the boys are going on retreat to Williamsburg Obama is flying down in the luxurious Air Force One on a trip that the Presidential Helicopter copuld easilt make in an hour, all the Dems are taking a special chartered Amtrak train down, that way no one gets a DUI on the way down. Any business they do in Williamsburg could easily be dine right in Washington.

GW gets the last laugh.
“this bill is stinking up the place”......
thanks to Stretchface Pelosi!...It’s her pile of crap!
I’ll have a grilled cheese sandwich and a coke. P.S. Did
you disable the smoke detector in the President’s lavatory?
The Bolshecrat definition of bipartisanship is we write the law, you take the blame.
Dear Harry and Nancy -
You will have to pass this garbage all by yourself.
Then you will have to own it and accept responsibility for it all by yourself.
Its hard to be an adult, isn’t it?

No Harry Reid what is happening is that American’s that normally don’t pay attention are watching and are not likeing what they see. When they find out the truth about these things you guys normally lose.
Fine Reid, put on your big girl panties and pass (and take SOLE responsibility for) this bloated mass of rotten pork.
Obama lied. The Economy died.
‘Obama lied. The Economy died. ‘
Yep. The democrats KNOW this pork bill won’t help the economy THEY undermined via Barney Frank with FAnnie and Freddy.
They KNOW IT. That why they aren’t just passing this pig without Republican votes.
The Republicans refuse to buy a pig in a poke. Too bad for the Democrats.
The GOP needs to stay away from this POS “stimulus” bill. Let the dems sink their own ship.
Bipartisanship, Dem style:
“You vote for our proposals and our nominees, and we won’t change the rules to eliminate filibusters. This doesn’t mean we won’t hold up your appointments if you ever get in power again, because we work for the people (and the children).”
You really have to laugh at these attempts to get Republican suckers to sign up to these excrement they are trying to pass. And it’s funny because they are trying to act as if they need Republican votes with this thing when they don’t want to draw attention to their disastrous control of all branches of gov’t and who the people can ‘thank’ when the effects of their policies hits home. The Demonrats are really a bunch of wicked souls who are going to deserve the hate directed their way when reality sets in.
