I'm not sure that the three crossovers didn't have the GOP blessing.
I've thought about this quite a bit. Maybe the GOP wanted it both ways. Let porkulus pass using three libtards so as not to appear to be "obstructionist" to economic recovery, but reserve the right to claim no ownership of the destructive aftermath. It's no coincidence that the three libtards face minimal voter backlash in their liberal states compared to Republican senators from a conservative state.
IMO, all the GOP cares about these days is political cover.
You are so right.They are all political elite.Their children will have all the right doors open to them regardless of membership in either party.We were sold a bill of goods with no other choices.I still say this is all by design moving us closer to third world status.Do I wish ill on these people?You bet and the sooner the better.
