The "Stimulus" Passed

Heath Ledger

In case you haven't heard yet, the "stimulus" package, that couldn't stimulate an 80 year old war vet with permanent damage from a grenade, passed the House today.  I will note that every single House Republican, including Paul Ryan, voted against the bill.  Along with them were eleven brave Democrats.  Bravo gentlemen.

Funny, weren't the Republicans all for it just a short time ago, when it was Bush who was pushing for it?

Yes they were MommaBlogger, and I think its fair to say that I ripped them a new one for it. However, I'm trying to give credit where credit is due... and I think in this case its deserved because there was not a single Republican who backed down on this. That is a show of force.

Not to be picky Nick, but your analogy gives the opposite effect of what you were looking for I think. Stimulating an 80 year-old with permanent damage would be quite a feat.
