John McCain was on Fox News today still spouting the usual conservative shit about the economic stimulus package needs more tax cuts and whatever. I'll deal with his comments later in another post.
Screw Republicans DailKos

President Obama and Congressional Democrats are still trying to satiate Republicans and win their support for the President's stimulus package. The stimulus package includes, among other things, funds to improve infrastructure and create jobs, and an increase to pell grant awards. In the last few days key Republicans including John McCain and Kay Bailey Hutchison have come out against the stimulus package. McCain told Fox News today that he "disagrees with most provisions in the package," and Hutchison says she is "worried" about the package. Neither has given any specific reasons why they don't support it.
I say "screw the Republicans." President Obama has a 68% approval rating, and America can't wait for Republicans to finish licking their wounds and get over themselves. Who cares what the Republicans think? It is their policies over the last 8 years that have put us in this position. Why do we care what they think?
President Obama doesn't need the support of Congressional Republicans to pass the stimulus package. He has the support of the American People. He is our President, not the Congresional Republican's president. It is time to quit worrying about being nice to Republicans and put our mandate to use. The window of opportunity is too short to screw around with them.
