Whatsamatter, CouRAGEocrats, you want it to be unanimous?

Democrats Launch Ad Campaign Against House GOP Members
Democrats are hoping to attract some GOP votes by adding tax breaks, cutting spending and increasing infrastructure spending on the nation’s roads and bridges. “Only 5 percent of this bill goes to roads and infrastructure, and you’re trying to tell the American people this is an infrastructure bill?” Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., said on “This Week With George Stephanopoulos.”

…The president said programs in the bill that have nothing to do with creating jobs would be removed, and Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., has a long list of items he calls wasteful in the current legislation, including $248 million for furniture for the new Department of Homeland Security Building, $25 million for salary increases at the FBI and $75 million for smoking-cessation programs.

Despite Obama’s conciliatory language, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is fighting back with political ads aimed at 28 Republican members of Congress. The committee’s Putting Families First campaign is also sending e-mails to 3 million voters and making nearly 100,000 phone calls denouncing the House GOP’s refusal to support the bill.

“House Republicans just don’t get it,” the DCCC said in a statement. “They celebrate being the party of no and status quo.”

Go piss up a rope, you thieving weasels. You have the votes; pass the thing already and quit whining because Republicans voted according to principle for once. They did exactly what they’re supposed to do. Now you go ahead and give the sheeple the thorough, spleen-deep reaming you promised ‘em.

And then, as Bill says, you get to own it, and the resultant disastrous consequences. Why, it’s almost as if they can actually smell the oleaginous stench rising from this bloated abomination, innit? Put up or shut up, pussies.

    But actually being in charge is not as much fun as sniping! If you are in charge then *gulp* you are responsible!

    As you say, Mike, they have the votes, and some to spare. So if this thing is so awesome, why share the credit with us Rethugs? Shouldn't they want to hog all that sweet, sweet corpulent Porkulus credit for themselves?

    Or maybe they read a book:

    "We have tried spending money. We are spending more than we have ever spent before and it does not work. I want to see this country prosperous. I want to see people get a job. I want to see people get enough to eat. We have never made good on our promises. I say after eight years of this Administration we have just as much unemployment as when we started. ... And an enormous debt to boot!"--Henry Morgenthau Jr., Secretary of the Treasury to President Franklin D. Roosevelt, May 9, 1939, testifying before the Democrat House Ways and Means Committee.

    Hence the new meme: FDR was a cheapskate.

    There's jus' sumpthin' hinky 'bout a sore winner.
