Republicans Acting Like Republicans? Change You Can Believe In!

Am I going insane? Did the Republicans in the House actually do something right? Did they line up with unanimity to oppose the craptastic mother of all government expansions? By all accounts they did. All I can say is, in my best Peter Boyle voice, "Holy Crap!" Where was this backbone and discipline back in 2005?

UPDATE: Larry Ludlow has it exactly right..."all eyes now turn to...Mitch McConnell." Boehner & Co. staged a goal line stand on 1st and 2nd downs, will McConnell now let Pelosi, Reid, and Obama into the end zone? He will look awful dumb if he can't keep his caucus together after Boehner herded far more cats into unanimity. Any Senate Republican would be off his rocker to the be the guy or gal to blow the chance to pin this stimulus disaster 100% on the Democrats and/or carve it up and try for something better. We are going to get a stimulus package one way or another. The Democrats want nothing more than to pass this disaster and bring along some bipartisan accomplices. They certainly don't want to take full ownership, Republicans simply must let them have it. If Democrats steamroll this thing through, so be it, we would've had it anyway, at least Republicans have clean hands. If Democrats balk, well, then there is a chance to retool the stimulus. There is no upside in peeling away and voting for this disaster, except to avoid being called a few names, like "idealogical" or "obstructionist". Sticks and stones, McConnell & Co. Sticks and stones.
