My LOTTE to the San Jose MercuryNews on the stimulus

[damonm]

The Republicans are at it AGAIN - putting partisan political gain over the good of the country. This is a game at which they excel, and it's how they put this country in the mess it's in.
Observe their latest - they single out for criticism TINY parts of the bill, such as the anti-smoking programs.
Why do they do this? Because they know that this bill is right for America. They know this bill will save and/or create 3-4 million jobs. They know this bill will avert hundreds of thousands of teacher layoffs. They know this bill will create hundreds of thousands of "green" jobs and double our clean energy production.
They also know that the success of this bill will contrast sharply with their many policy failures, and show just how bankrupt Republican policies are. Like their mouthpiece Rush Limbaugh, they "hope Obama fails" while not caring that Obama's failure now will take the country with it. "Country First", indeed!
