House Republicans: THANK YOU

House Republicans finally stood their ground and acted like Republicans yesterday in voting against the Obama/Pelosi "stimulus" package.

In an embarrassment to Obama, the Republicans refused to rubber-stamp the bill, as Obama seemed to expect.

According to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, the Republicans actually had the gall to vote their beliefs and not kowtow to Obama in some bizarre show of bi-partisanship:

“People vote for what they believe in. Clearly, Republicans did not believe in [the bill's] agenda … I think they probably voted their conscience.”

Yet, somehow, voting one's conscience is not a good thing, at least according to Pelosi's spokesman, Brendan Daly, who charged that "...Republicans acted in a partisan and irresponsible manner.”

So, voting for a bill that is wholly "the president's agenda," is non-partisan, but voting for "what (you) believe in" against Obama is partisan and wrong. You figure it out.

I, for one, am glad they voted their conscience and against this pork-laden bill.

If only the Democrats on the Hill would do the same.

Obama Wants Republican Cover; Not Cooperation

In his photo-op meeting with Republican House Leadership today, Obama is reported to be courting Republican support for his "stimulus" package.

The news media are gushing about how this "outreach" is "change," and is so refreshing that Obama wants a bi-partisan solution.

Wrong!

Obama doesn't need a single Republican vote to pass this package. So why is he begging for votes in an unprecedented meeting with the Repubs?

Obama doesn't want bi-partisan co-operation; he wants bi-partisan blame when this plan fails and when the American people find out what is really in there.

Sorry Obama; fraudulent tax "cuts" that aren't cuts, $4 billion in "community development funds" to ACORN, hundreds of billions on contraceptives. You take the credit for this disaster. Help yourself.
