Despite Political Theater, Some House GOP Now Hinting They Will Support Final Recovery Package:

And now, several moderate Republican members are “hinting” that they will ultimately “vote for the merged House-Senate legislation.” Among the members who are reportedly likely to ultimately support the stimulus package are Reps. Peter King (R-NY), John McHugh (R-NY), Joseph Cao (R-LA), and Jim Gerlach (R-PA).


It passed without you assholes, but welcome to reality.

1. And then, in 2010, they'll be sure to say,
"Well, I voted against it before I voted for it..."

2. The Repubs are in disarray.
Can we expect the same theatrics from the Senate Repubs?

They have short memories.

5. The record shows they voted no, and
then they bragged about the vote. Today, they realized the crap they pulled didn't work.
