Partisan politics is back. And I love it.

Bring it on, you obstructionist GOP motherfuckers. If I never hear the word "bipartisan" again, it'll be too soon.

Screamed endlessly on talking head shows by overgrown crybabies who think that bipartisanship means the other party caves 100% of the time.

Let's hope our own party realizes this. So far, they have not.

without a single GOP vote. It means that the Dems decided to pass a piece of legislation without worrying about whether the GOP was on board. My take on that is that it's beginning to sink in with the Dems that they have a majority, and they have a mandate.

...that's superb. Obama takes some things out they don't like, adds some stuff in that the GOP wants, then they vote it down anyway. Wow.

Every one of those mutherfukers knows that the bill COULD have passed without ANY changes. Seeing them vote en masse against it and it still passes is proof that next time we have NO incentive to change a thing.

They can play with us, or go play with themselves - it makes no difference, and they KNOW IT.

Like their putting one over on those Dems. "We'll show them". I can hear the pitter patter of undecideds shuffling over to the left. There's no room on the right with Rush in the room anyway! ; )

that appears to be the reason our republic now exists!

Just listening to the top notch open minded reporting on CNBC and Senator Shelby (R) has it all figured out, so we don't need to have partisanship, we just need the Republican Senators do what they want (I guess he hasn't seen the December Gallup Poll stating that the Republican Senate had even LOWER ratings than BUSH! If that even seems possible). I can't believe that despite the blows the American people have given the GOP by voting them out of office in droves, and horrific ratings on the polls, that these guys have the audacity to completely block and rip apart Obama's attempt to turn things around.

One can only pray, and I have fantasies about it: They vote NO to everything, the stimulus and legislation works, and the Republican party goes the way of the Dodo. It's already seemingly just an outdated form of thought that they seem to support.

:toast:

but sadly, I don't have the time to write a full thing on this right now. :(

that the GOP members of Congress who voted against it don't want any of the stimulus money coming into their district -- and the Dems are fools if they give them any. Give the bulk of the money to members who supported the plan.

If the people in the districts who don't get any money don't like it, they can take it up with their Reps.

Take care of the people who support you -- period.

when the bill goes into conference- start directing monies to the districts that both need the assistance and support the economic policies behind it.
