We all have seen the Republicans in the house ignore Obama's extended hand in the form of corporate tax breaks. We all agree the don't get the new kind of politics Obama is trying to play here. There is one thing i am jealous of in this republican move is there resolve to oppose a measure they don't agree with even if the measure is currently popular they think it has only a small chance of succeding and voted against it.

If only more dems had done that on the Iraq vote...

I think Republicans don't have a clue about what works in this economy or what will save the world from this mess (yes we here in europe are in the same mess...). The only thing republicans have is their retarded idiology which doesn't have any awnsers in this situation but they are sticking to it. It wasn't that long ago Liberals voting against the war in Iraq where seen as such outcasts in their opinion still i wish more dems had this kind of backbone because if the stimulus works this will mean the dems will crush them in 2010 and 2012 yet they stick to their idiology.

This administration should build a stimulus that will woprk incorporating al ideas that work regardless of who came up with the idea but one should never expect the opposition to "shut up and cooperate". Remember what happend in 2002 when the dems did? There is only one thing one can learn from republicans and that is sticking to your own ideological line.
