If McCain puts up a fight I shall be greatly surprised. But we’ll have to wait and see. It would be nice to see the entire Republican Senatorial crew “just say no.”

Nah, never gonna happen.

Great White Rat, OF COURSE! “Bipartisanship” is when the Republican goes along with the Democrat. Never, never the other way around. Of course the Dinosaur, Drive-By, Mainstream, Obama-Worshiping Media will make it out that the Republicans are the bad guys, you know, for not going along with The One. What I am curious about is how they will spin the 11 Democrats that could not even eat the “Crap sandwich”?

Let’s see…..since not one Republican voted for this fraud, but 11 Democrats had the good sense to vote against it, can we now make the case that opposition to Obama’s boondoggle plan is “bipartisan”, but supporting it is not??

I mean, after all, haven’t we been told incessantly for the last week that this is a new era of bipartisanship, and how anything bipartisan is good? Or does that only count when RINOs desert and back Democrat proposals?

Regardless of its effect, it will get glowing reviews from the media who have all been screaming “Stimulus! Stimulus!”

It will go down in the history of the MEDIA as a huge success.

The bill will eventually pass the Senate; I don’t think they can sustain a filibuster long enough to kill it for this legislative session. However, I do hope we can hold together long enough (and perhaps draw in some shaky Democrats) to force major changes and at least vacate some of the worst elements of it. In a deep minority, that’s about the best we can hope for.

Perhaps somebody should remind Senator McCain that in 1993, President Clinton got the Democrats to pass a huge tax increase, without a single Republican vote; in 1994, the Republicans captured majorities in both Houses of Congress.

Going along to get along has always been a losing strategy.
