"We had an election last year which had pretty decisive results in the White House, the Senate and the House. And it did say that public spending for improved infrastructure, to keep bridges from crumbling, to keep cops and firefighters working is a good thing," Frank said.
People knew McCain was going to lose and voted for him anyway. We knew democrats would control both the house and senate but we voted for republicans anyway. We didn't vote for them to go along with your porkbarrel spending. This isn't about cops and firefighters. This isn't about roads and bridges. This is about saying no to non-stimulus pork spending.
Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., the chairman of the Banking Committee, chided Republicans for ignoring the outcome of the November election.

Oh Barney put in back in your pants. Of the eligible voters in America approximately 27 percent voted for Barack Obama.
That is hardly a landslide or mandate or anything else.
Frank’s theory might have a jigger more validity if Dims had actually campaigned on the idea of passing a nearly trillion dollar spending bill to stimulate the economy.
But if they had, we could have had this public debate in August, September, and October, rather than now.
Wait, maybe that’s why they didn’t campaign on it back then. Do you think?

It seems to me the RATS are the ones who have ignored the outcome of the November election.....
.....They can pass ANY bill they want without ANY Republican involvement.
