Wall Of No

As I predicted, the stimulus bill passed the final House vote today with a grand total of zero Republican votes.

The compromise plan was approved by a vote of 246-183 but no Republicans voted for it, dashing President Barack Obama's quest for bipartisan support that he had hoped would break the gridlock that has gripped Congress for years.

House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer chastised Republicans, saying they were sticking to the same prescription for the economy that had proved a failure during eight years of leadership from President George W. Bush.

Steny doesn't get it either. They are proud of this "no donkees in the klubhowse" style of resistance. They don't care. They're betting on failure, folks. They want our economy to crumble. They are betting the entire political future of the party on rooting for you to lose your job, and doing everything in their power to obstruct, obfuscate, and annoy the economy to death. Then, they figure you'll vote for them after that.

You lose your job because the stimulus bill wasn't big enough to save the economy and the GOP was responsible for cutting spending on new jobs, you going to feel like voting Republican because of it?
