Dems Looking For GOP Votes On Jobs Bill; GOP Not Interested

With a vote coming up Monday to begin debate on a jobs bill, Democrats are hoping they can get a few Republican votes for cloture. But the Republicans are looking to block the bill, even though they support its content, claiming instead that they've been mistreated by Democrats.

A Democratic leadership aide tells TPMDC that they're hoping to get Republicans, such as new Sen. Scott Brown, to oppose the will of the GOP leadership.

But an aide for Minority Leader Mitch McConnell would only say that it's "bizarre" Democrats aren't allowing amendments on the bill, especially after spending so much time talking about bipartisanship.

And as Roll Call reports today, Republican Senate leaders told more than 100 lobbyists yesterday that they plan to oppose the bill because of the process -- not because of the actual policy.

..........

WE are NOT surprised! Excuse me while I scream.......
:argh:

I personally don't think the Democrats have the integrity to do that

From Tex:

"...make them filibuster and put the whole thing on C-SPAN. I also read that reconciliation can only be used once a session or possibly once a year and they may have to use it with HCR unless they can attach the jobs bill to that bill."

Anyone know if that is true about once a session?

What a bunch of traitors.

asshole but hey, it works, so why not? Obama needs to get tougher with them. Actually, we need Reid too but we need a new majority leader for that to happen.

at all, who think it's all the Dems fault. It's a lot of the Dems fault, but the GOP has done NOTHING at all to help this country and my ads, if I were responsible for any, would focus on "The Party of No!" America needs helps with jobs - the Republicans say "NO!", Americans need help with health care costs, the Republicans say "No!", be sure to tell candidate xxxx xxxxxx NO come election day.


These GOP asshats in Congress need stroked or they whail on like the Two-Face Mayor from The Nightmare Before Christmas!
