If that were true the GOP would go out of their way to pass it!!!!!Bitch McConnell has just put his foot in his mouth! Now the GOP can't filibuster the bill so it will need only 50 votes instead of 60!!!!
Do you not realize that the worst possible scenario for Democrats would be if Obama's "jobs bill" were to actually pass? It's a half-hearted do-over of the original stimulus which would provide the same results. You think blowing another half a trillion dollars on a badly conceived plan is going to help get Obama and the Democrats another term? Obama set this whole thing up so there wasn't a chance in Hell of it ever being passed. This is all about having an issue to run on...not putting forth legislation that would help the 14 million that are currently unemployed.
In spite of what Bitch "The Turtle" McConnell said, the GOP will filibuster the bill when it comes up for a vote. There is no way the GOP will let 50 votes pass the bill.
Not everyone is constantly trying to get over on the opposition like Obama and the Dems are. There are still a few adults in Washington contrary to what you think.
Nobody wants to pass that turkey, but they're willing to make Reid and Obama eat their own bovine-feces, plus they know that they won't have to filibuster it because too many Democrats know their jobs are on the line if they vote for it.
