Ben Smith's Blog: Cheering for defeat? - Politico.com

It works both ways. Except that the only ones the GOP are hurting are Americans. Yes, Rush Limbaugh has the congressional GOP in his fat, drug-addled mitts. NONE of them voted for the stimulus bill. The only message we can glean from that? They want the economy to fail even more than it has already.

You know, for the votes it will get them later.

It isn't as if the President hasn't tried to get them on board. Hell, the bill is full of shitty, useless tax breaks that can hopefully be removed now so we can actually FIX this country. Things should go better for bi-partisanship in the Senate. That said, if the Rethugs are more worried about the 2010 elections than in getting people back to work, call them out on it, ignore them, and say screw it.
