State of the Republican Opposition

With President Obama reaching out to Republicans to help pass the bailout package, we are seeing the beginning of the bi partisan era in Washington.  As many Republicans are hearing from President Obama more in the short time he has been president then they heard from President Bush in eight years,many Republicans are still trying to stand strong in opposition to the President.  They prefer to take the side of the rich executives that continue to buy the corporate jets and continue to fight against measures to help stabilize the economy. This bill has the power to pass without the Republican right helping us, but as Rush Limbaugh has already stated that he hoped Obama failed because a success would mean a Democratic majority the likes that hasn't been seen since Roosevelt. The problem with the Republican right is that they don't care about the country they only care about the party and their pocket books. As was seen in the last eight years of Bush, they didn't care if they made the country less safe, they didn't care if they drove the economy into the dumps, all they cared about was making sure that their friends at Haliburton and the oil companies got rich. So I say thank God that we have a new day in America. A day in which we might actually have a president who cares if the people of this great country can afford to eat and have a home. We might actually have a government that will focus not on division but on things that bring us together and things that we need now. To the Republicans that are trying to hold the stimulus up because it might fund "pork" or things they dont like, think about this, how will you go back to your districts and say to the people who want to know why no help has come their way? Will you say I couldn't help get you a job because I couldn't vote for contraception? Or I couldn't vote to fund a science project in Chicago? I don't know how that will fly, but I don't think that it will work in areas like NY-3 or Rochester or North Country
