Republicans Stick Together
Posted on January 28th, 2009 by MoverMike
the House passed a $819 billion economic stimulus bill by a vote of 244 to 188 Wednesday. Voting yes were 244 Democrats and 0 Republicans. Voting no were 11 Democrats and 177 Republicans. Obama sought to make this a bi-partisan bill, seeking cover in case it doesn’t work. Republicans thinking there’s a better way, voted against the bill. If it works, then Democrats can take all the credit. If it fails, Republicans can say, “Can we try our way, now?”
House Passes $819 Billion Stimulus Bill With No Republican Votes…
The House passed the $819 billion stimulus plan President Barack Obama sought, signaling the formal beginning of the new administration’s attempts to start to patch up the economy — and also how bipartisanship may be much easier in concept…
“If it fails, Republicans can say, “Can we try our way, now?”
Unfortunately, I think the analogy is:
House is too cold.
Let’s set on fire.
Are you crazy?
No, I won. We do it my way.
… later: OK can we try it our way now?
