I think Dems should start calling all Republicans who don't support the stimulus plan "Unpatriotic"
Edited on Wed Feb-04-09 05:41 PM by TeamJordan23
We have been on the receiving end of being called "unpatriotic", "un-American", "traitor", etc. whenever Dems have not supported legislation anti-terrorism, weapons, or Iraq War bills.

We should pull a Bill O'Reilly and start calling all Republicans who do not support the economic stimulus bill in these dire times 'unpatriotic' and people who hate America and want America to fail. It is about time for them being on the receiving end of such criticism because that is what their party stands for.

Now, I just don't think any Dem has the guts to start this campaign.

1. We've been on the recieving end. That's why we don't.
It's a bullshit argument and I will not stoop. we are not the opposite of Rush, Hannity and O'Reilly. We are a superior breed that appreiciates the input of those who do not agree.

4. And other Dems as well!
The only way it won't pass is if somebody switches sides on their vote.

3. You know, I think Obama is getting the idea...
In the past few days, I've heard criticisms that this plan is somehow wanting, and these criticisms echo the very same failed economic theories that led us into this crisis in the first place, the notion that tax cuts alone will solve all our problems, that we can ignore fundamental challenges like energy independence and the high cost of health care, that we can somehow deal with this in a piecemeal fashion and still expect our economy and our country to thrive.

I reject those theories. And so did the American people when they went to the polls in November and voted resoundingly for change.

5. Better yet Call Move On
Help them out. They are planning on starting an attack campaign to expose the Republicans who started this filibuster of deceit.
