GOP Strategy: Oppose Pelosi, Not Obama

What strikes me about the Republicans is their inability to compromise. They want it ONLY their way which is the same way it's been the last 8 years and that hasn't worked out too well.

Compromise works both ways. Republicans want stimulus money to help the economy, but excessive spending on pet projects like ACORN are unacceptable. Money should be invested in ways to maintain and create jobs. Study the bill and see where the money is planned to go.

its sad too see the same thing comming from the republicans they have to see that it just like the last eight years the me party

We like the new principal only not the other teachers we work with, only lasts so long. It assumes one is a master teacher. Did the students win yesterday? Probably not.

republicans have elected Rush what's name to be the leader of their party. they echo his ranting and hatred of everyone - usually that means that these individuals are deeply disturbed. if you live in a district that has republican representatives - take a look at him/her. If they are preaching and ranting and raving (just like Rush) and if they are not listening to what you say. Let them know and vote them out. Unless you feel the same way and then you are on your own. Good luck

Acorn will have to compete for money its is not written anywhere that they are getting any of this money that is a false fact

All 178 Republicans in the House refused to vote for the stimulus package. They requested one meeting with Obama and it was the president who invited them in and brought them back twice for talks. Not only did he listen to Republican ideas, he incorporated them into the stimulus -- including tax cuts and asking for some Democratic provisions to be removed.

egret57 - I don't see any compromise from your party.

True about Rush he said he wants President Obama to fail what is wrong here and only one republican spoke up and then took it back to apologize on Rush radio show what is going on here

I've always said the republicans care nothing about our country. This example of political pandering proves their disregard for the people of the US.

Politics should not be a part of this decision. The Republicans are largely responsible for this enormous mess and now because of personality conflicts and Political differences they vote No to a plan our country desperately needs. I don't like Pelosi either, not even a little bit, but I wouldn't let that get in the way of supporting our President and our Country.

I find it funny that the news media wants to paint this REP vs DEM. How about PORK BILL vs NON PORK BILL. The STIMULUS only contains 12% simulus.
Thats only 120BILLION the rest, 700BILLION is PORK. So to even make this an REP vs DEM a SHAM SCAM and dispicable. I thought this was the US and reporters were suppossed to report not create news

I find it remarkable that people keep referring to what Republicans have done for "the last 8 years", as if Democrats have not been in control of Congress for the last 2+ years. You people do realize that Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid (or is it Nancy Reid and Harry Pelosi - sometimes I can't tell which is which) have been in control of Congress for over 2 years now, right?

Let those Republicans rave on.

Acorn? I guess you're pretty uninformed about any money they're supposedly receiving.

It's for vandalized and rundown abandoned homes in areas where the foreclosure rate has been sky high. Places like Cleveland, Ohio in older neighborhoods.

Get your facts straight. You sound ignorant.

With the grim situation we are in now, I did not expect anyone of either party to vote no.
“House Republicans said we would stand up for American taxpayers at this time of economic hardship for our nation.

Where the tax will be deducted from when people are layed off from their jobs?

but excessive spending on pet projects like ACORN are unacceptable.

Rush and Hannity made ACORN a boogie man. The fact is numerous Republicans have worked closely with ACORN as they do a lot for housing and needy communities. If they are so awful why have Charlie Crist, Rick Perry, John McCain, Michael Bloomberg, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Mel Martinez, Tim Pawlenty, Mitt Romney, etc. work closely with them in drafting bills for their state?

The republicans couldn't wait to give the banking giants a few billion dollars without any results. What do they have against improving our infastructure? At least we will have better bridges and roads - that might actually go somewhere. They seem to have crazy priorities.

I believe that if the country is loosing jobs everywhere, maybe congress should should loose a few of their members or cut their salary, so they can feel what the rest of us are feeling in this time of job cuts.

these party generalizations need to cease. really I mean, its like checks and balances. It should be applauded that there is opposition... Im a democract but certainly no liberal. I went left of republican because of recent events over the past 6 years havent been the republican way at all. I can see the rationality of condoms in the first proposed bill (if people use condoms, less unwanted pregnancies or STDs) but I dont think it was necessary.

Good thing the GOP raised concern over this. All types of checks and balances are good. Its a party not a alligence. We give our alligence to America remember.

But Pelosi's agenda is Obama's agenda, at least with the stimulus. Ordinary Americans only see the GOP trashing their new president. They don't care about Pelosi.
