This only confirms my thoughts that the Republican party has fallen into a very deep and dark abiss, where it will crash and burn. Clearly they are not paying attention to what has been going on in this country, and clearly they don’t give a bean about us!
It is amusing to see that, clearly, they did not even bother to read the plan, have not bothered to open their eyes to our economic reality of today, and are delluded into thinking that somehow these past 8 years of Republican economic principles of cutting taxes for the wealthy and the corporations had even the hint of anything but a negative impact on our economy. Over 50,000 jobs lost in one day this past week!!! 8 years of tax cuts did nothing to avert this disaster, do they think we are morons?
Hence, they have made it abundantly clear that they have chosen childish misguided party loyalty over the wellbeing of America and the survival of Americans; or they are simply one really stupid bunch of people not to see that they have absolutely no credibility when it comes to our economy or fixing our economic problems….we are in the place we are in because we were submitted to 8 years of their Republican FAILED economic strategy.
They also don’t realize that the American electorate is fully awake and engaged now, and we are not as stupid as they think we are, and we will not forget their childish pranks. It is time to have intelligent adults at the table, and clearly they are not up for the job.

Once again the repug are blocking anything and everything,no change at all. I say to hell with the idiots and pass it as it stands. Who needs them anyway? The Dems have the votes, use them!Why even try and make cocessions.They won’t honor them anyway.

These Republican mouth pieces never batted an eye when Bush wanted more money for his “wars”, rubber stamped Bush’s stimulus packages and budgets…well over a trillion, and still counting..most of it going to no-bid contracts for their private oil, construction and security crony companies….while “cutting taxes” for those same wealthy corporate owners and cronies…but let President Obama try and give a little relief to the average citizen, losing their homes, their jobs and have no health care insurance for themselves or their children…and the Republicans start screaming about “fiscal responsibilities” (like a bunch of bitches with skinned knees!)

When you extend an olive branch to a repubie, it is highly likely that s/he will rip it out of your grasp and beat you to death with it. Therefore, let the bastards sit by the curb and pout. No olive branches. We can do just fine without them.

A curious definition of bi-partisanship: I’ll hug your elephant, when you kiss my ass.

The real test here is for the Dems and Obama: You now have the advantage–use it! The working stiffs who voted you guys into office are watching closely. We already are suspicious of the real gameplan here, given some picks for this administration (Daschle, Geithner and their “confusion” over paying their share of income tax???–to say nothing of Daschle’s and his wife’s lobbying connections, Ruben and his distaste for unions, etc.) WTF???

This better not simply be a theatrical piece to amuse the groundlings into thinking that the big bad Repugs spoiled everything. We are smarter than that, we’re mad, AND WE’RE NOT GONNA TAKE IT ANY LONGER.

Why are we continuing to give tax cuts to the billionaires when we have no jobs…This makes me sick..When will they realize if we dont have jobs, they dont have any money..If we are not happy ,aint no one happy…I will admit, we are seeing more transparency so they cant slip in those earmarks..Thats a good thing

And the trillion plus the Republicans et al have spent on an unnecessary war is not wasteful? The saboteur is alive and well represented in Washington DC and AM talk radio.

THERE IS A NEW SHERIFF IN TOWN……….. but the republicans are still reading from a 1974 SCRIPT:

Taggart: [learning Bart is the new sheriff of Rock Ridge] Now if that don’t beat all. Here we take the good time and trouble to slaughter every last Indian in the West, and for what? So we can appoint a sheriff that’s blacker than any Indian. I am depressed.
Lyle: Excuse me, Mr. Taggart, sir, but I sure do hate to see you like this. What if me and the boys was to shoot that nigger dead? Would that pep you up some?
Taggart: It might.
