Every House Republican Votes Against Obama's "Stimulus" Bill

Obama's bill made it through the House of Representatives. But House Republicans stood united on principle today with all 177 of the Republican members of the House voting nay on Obama's pork-ridden "stimulus" package. House Republicans have made sure that it is the Democrats that completely own this extravagant government taxpayer funded spending spree.

Below you can watch some MSNBC whiners complaining about Republican lack of "partisanship." But to a liberal, "partisanship" is any time Republicans decide to not capitulate to the liberal agenda, and "bipartisanship" is when Republicans decide to give in. I do not make these statements without any evidence, and I shall bring one recent proof. Politico reported that "during a morning meeting with congressional leaders from both parties, President Obama acknowledged the philosophical differences between his stimulus package and the Republican plan – but, sources familiar with the conversation said, Obama then noted: 'I won.'" Did anyone hear cries from the media about the lack of bipartisanship on the part of Obama? Obama is right that he can reject Republican input if he so chooses because he did win the election. But it is important to point out that Republican solidarity in opposition to Obama's spending is "bipartisanship" in the eyes of the media, while Obama's opposition to any elements in the Republican plan is considered nothing of the sort.

I believe the Republican Party should be setting itself apart from the Democrat big government agenda in a unified voice and that this is a good first step by House Republicans.
