It was a pleasant surprise to see the rock solid unity of the House Republicans today, as every last one of them voted against the trillion dollar ‘stimulus’ of the Obama-Pelosi-Reid ruling clique. Not just that, they actually managed to get eleven Democrats to go along with the principled opposition to the biggest single public spending package in American history. Thus, in a twist of irony, the bipartisan
support that the President had expected had actually translated into bipartisan
opposition to his massive spending plan.
That is not to say that I doubt the President’s sincerity in reaching out to the GOP over the stimulus plan. In fact, it showed pragmatism and leadership when he asked the Congressional Democrats to strip the trillion dollar plan of its irresponsible 200 million dollar proposal for funding the extremist group Planned Parenthood. Not only did the Planned Parenthood proposal have nothing to do with economic recovery but was offensive to large segments of the population and Constitutionally suspect. That the President, a very strong ally of the Planned Parenthood and its racist policies, would lean upon equally radical Democrats like Pelosi to shelve the idea, is a credit to his desire for outreach.
On a different note…Michael Steele of Maryland for RNC Chairman!!
