If Obama wants his stimulus, he should ram it through with Democratic votes. Other than voting no when the time comes, the Republicans need to stay on the sidelines.
He NEEDS Republicans to vote for this right along with the Dems, that way when this pork package FAILS and fails miserably, he can say “Well, Republicans wanted it too”
Any republican voting for the bill should be blackballed by the RNC.
Which reminds me where is our new leader Steele?
Prediction? That will be exactly what will happen after another week of branding Republicans as obstructionists. Dems will say it will be fixed in conference.
The Senate bill is larger, in dollars, than the House bill. In conference, $X billion will be trimmed, Dems will claim they cut fat, and the House total $ will be passed.
Just a thought.
