Okay, here's a challenge for the Sunday Talk Show hosts: Ask the Republicans guests, including leading GOP drama queen Lindsey Graham, why they hate America. Because only people who hate this country would work so hard to defeat the stimulus package when our country is on the verge of economic collapse -- a collapse enabled by those Republicans and their former leader, George Bush. (Their new leader is the former drug addict, Rush.) Now, we all know this is wishful thinking. The Republicans will ever be forced to explain themselves by the inside-the-beltway pundits. Never ever.
Gibbs, Axelrod and Barney Frank should kick the crap out of the intransigent and anti-American Republicans. Remember what Barney said about bipartisanship in December:
I think [Obama] overestimates his ability to take people — particularly our colleagues on the Right — and sort of charm them into being nice. I know he talks about being post-partisan. But I’ve worked frankly with Newt Gingrich, Tom Delay, and the current Republican leadership. … When he talks about being post partisan, having seen these people and knowing what they would do in that situation, I suffer from post partisan depression.Obama did overestimate the willingness of the GOP to work in the best interest of our nation.
