Stimulus package on it's way to the Senate...

So, Mr. Osama has gotten his first 'win' - the House passed his gazillion-dollar 'stimulus' package.

I say 'win', because it puts the lie to his claims of being able to do things with the blessing of both major parties. Not one Republican voted for the package, worse, ten Democrats voted 'no'.

This puts the Republican Party in the position of being able to place the entire credit for the results of this abomination squarelely on the shoulders of the radical Democrats - something that was not possible with many spending bills passed with 'bipartisan' support in the past.

Of course, now we come to the Senate, where many "Republicans" like McCain will gladly reach across the aisle and join with their colleagues in rescuing our nation from a painful, but fairly short recession, and deliver us into the next wonderful depression that will drag on for ten years or more, just like the last one did under the wise guidance of FDR and a compliant CONgress and packed Supreme Court. At least, so far, Mr. Osama has not been able to pack the Court with willing dupes, as FDR did. That's next.

I won't get into the $0.12 out of every dollar in this mess that is actually destined for something other than pork...

UPDATE: I just see at Hot Air that Mr. McCain might be growing back towards the Republican side!
