Oh for F@#KS SAKE why can't they just call them on this filibuster crap?

[JeffreyWilliamson]

I finish posting in one thread about how bad the economy is and then come back out to be greeted with all sorts of news that public transit, education, food stamps, etc., are getting "bipartisaned" out of the stimulus package and "defense spending" is getting added. Is this compromise?

Then I read that Harry Reid says no vote today, tax cuts in the bill should be reduced if we're going to have other spending cut out of the bill. Well color me stupid, I thought the whole point of the bill was to spend lots of money on stuff to create jobs.

What the hell is wrong with these people? Call them on the bluff and MAKE THEM FILIBUSTER. Then, instead of heading off to some retreat, (after complaining about CEOs doing the same thing), book yourselves on EVERY SHOW YOU CAN FIND and beat them over the head for SCREWING WORKERS and trying to KEEP JOBS FROM BEING CREATED. Call them on it! Harry Reid needs to man up a little and stop this B.S.

"We're not going to call a vote today. The Republicans aren't ready to help us, they may get angry."

Grow a pair, Harry...
