Aside from the fact that the GOP was opposed to both bills on principle (and you insist they should STFU and vote for it) --I notice you're not listing the poison pill crap the Dems sneak into every one of their "compromises", knowing full well the GOP cannot support it, then crowing that the GOP is obstructing.Democrat bipartisanship on the Stimulus.......included 45% of stimulus as tax cuts and gave money directly to the states to distribute
Republican bipartisanship on the Stimulus......100% voted against it
Democrat bipartisanship on healthcare........crafted after 1994 Republican healthcare plan, did not include universal healthcare, did not provide a government option
Republican bipartisanship on healthcare.......100% voted against
And you fell for it. Stooge.
Other than it had Obama's name on it.......what was the poison pill?
ARRA
Among others:
$300 million for new cars for the government
$8 billion for high speed rail projects, such as a Maglev train from Disneyland to Las Vegas
$140 million for "something called volcano monitoring"[10]
$30 million to save a Salt Harvest Marsh Mouse...in Nancy Pelosi's district
The railway for Harry Reid
Numerous earmarks that Democrats "hide"
All terrain vehicle trails[8]
$200,000 for Tattoo Removal Violence Prevention Outreach Program
Maine lobster earmark in the omnibus
$5.8 million earmark for the Ted Kennedy Institute for the Senate for the planning and design of a building & an endowment
National Council of La Raza, $473,000 earmark from Sens. Bingaman and Menendez[9]
Predictably, you will claim those are all good and righteous and holy.
As for Obamacare, the whole thing was a poison pill.
