Instead, not one. Then again, it’s really not Rahm’s fault — Ronald Reagan’s ghost could have risen from the dead and ordered Boehner to back the stimulus plan and he wouldn’t have done so.</p> If Rahm had been able to do what Obama wanted, we would have seen several GOP defectors on this bill.

A few days before the stimulus vote Conyers came out with that rove thingy. Over on raw story a poster said repub’s wouldn’t be voting for it unless dems promised not to prosecute bush shooter team. I wonder if this is the case? If this is true the side deals/bribes like this in congress need to be out in the open. We need both sides working together, will they ever learn?</p> Conyers has crappy timing. A few days before the stimulus vote Conyers came out with that rove thingy.
