If they don't, then any failure in the legislation will be attributed to that part that involved Republican input.
Something similar happened with changes made to regulations concerning California's power industry.
Something similar happened, too, with lending for homes.
No. Democrats have complete control and the public needs to be reminded every day.
Well, this is a good start. Now all we need is for the Senate Republicans to filibuster.
Credit where credit is due. No republican votes for socialism this time. Oohrah!
If only the RINOs in congress weren't in such a hurry to bend over.
The Republicans are only upset because the Left locked them out of all the pork for their home districts, and that’s all there ever is or was to this.
I am PROUD of our Republicans for ALL saying NO!!!!! (and of the 11 Dems that said NO too!)
Fillibuster tomorrow!
I hope every single Republican votes NO in the Senate.
Even if these retards pass it, at least the Repubs can say they wash their hands of it!
...And any Repub that votes for it deserves to lose his/her seat!
How long before states like Oklahoma and Utah who were 60% against Obama decide they’re not paying for this anymore and talk about succession?
Never happen. There will be no civil war, nor any Second Revolution, or any other such nonsense.
Because The Sheep love The One (piss be upon him), and conservatives will never rise up.
They better grow more than a spine. It is high time for these RNC bozos to get their head out, and get down and dirty, say like blowing the lid off this BC issue, and several others, P U B L I C L Y. Hit the street running fast and furious. Put Obama in his place, which is out on the street.
Yep yep and yep. The press isn't going to do this. Every failure is going to be the failure of "congress". Every victory is going to a Democrat congress victory. Republicans need to keep reminding the public that they're not voting for liberal democrat policies.
It’s getting close. The problem is leadership. Name a politician you would fight and possibly die for? Sarah maybe?
Your where I’m at, nbhunt.
I say “Do unto Obama as liberals did unto Bush.” Wrote an article with that title (I think I put it on Free Republic, too).

When a fight gets mean, you’ve got to get mean if you’re going to win. And when you’re already on your back - like the Republicans are - you’ve got to get REAL mean.
Democrats keep talking about “bipartisanship” while they ram one hardcore partisan rule change or legislation through after another. Obama claims he’s above “partisan issues” like abortion even as he rams home the hard-core liberal agenda.
We’ve got to wake up every single day determined to expose these people as the lying, fool hypocrites they are.
Republicans should keep reminding everyone that Democrats are in complete control.
If they don’t, then any failure in the legislation will be attributed to that part that involved Republican input.
You’re completely correct. Democrats were in charge of this country for two years while everything went to hell. And 57.4% of Obama voters were so damned ignorant they didn’t even know that.
Republicans need to show their opposition, loudly explain why they are opposed, predict what a disaster the Democrat’s agenda will be, and SCREAM at the top of their lungs when things don’t go right. And they need to do it on a daily basis.
I hope every single Republican votes NO in the Senate.
I hope so, too. But it almost certainly won’t happen. There are enough Olympia Snow types who clearly aren’t out for any kind of Republican ideas or agenda.
“HomeschoolMomma,” huh? As far as I’m concerned, if you’re homeschooling your kids and protecting them from government brainwashing facilities, you’re “HERO Mama.” Keep up the good work.
Credit where credit is due. No republican votes for socialism this time. Oohrah!
And a pleased oorah! to you!
Republicans need to show Democrats that sitting on top of the wall in control of everything makes them great candidates for the Humpty Dumpty fall. Let’s keep pushing them while they’re wobbling up there.
I'll guarantee these RINOs vote yes:
Voinovich
Snowe
Graham
Hatch
Specter
And possibly McCain.
Never
During the last two years we had a Republican President who exhibited great reluctance to use his veto power to check the Democrat Congress. He also was also unable to locate his veto pin during the 6 years he enjoyed a Republican majority. Unlike the current occupant of the White House, he was unable to locate the bully pulpit.
I voted for GWB twice and against BHO. GWB had 8 years and BHO has been in office a little over a week. The mess we are took years to develop and 8 of those years were under a Republican administration that called itself conservative while spending like there was no tomorrow. Whatever we want to believe about what will happen under BHO with a large Democrat majority, we were deep in disaster on inauguration day. As Truman said, “The buck stops here.” This crisis began on GWB’s watch I for one hold him largely responsible. Had he shown some spine the last two years and used his veto pen and the bully pulpit I would believe differently. Unfortunately, he showed no ability to fight after the Republicans lost the majority in Congress. You score no points if you don’t even try.
Does anyone know if this is true.....and who it was?
I've posted on several threads trying to get an answer, but no luck.
