Lifted from the NYTimes:

"Those who had hoped to see a glimpse of the much-advertised Republican plan to revive the economy and put Americans back to work will have to wait at least until party leaders finish their Beltway insider ritual of self-glorification .... The Republicans’ antics are a ghastly waste of time at a moment when the nation is expecting real leadership from Congress, and suggest that the new House leadership is still unable to make tough choices. Voters, no less than drama critics, prefer substance to overblown theatrics."

QFT.

I'm glad they're not wasting time with symbolic votes.

Considering that during their eight years the GOP amply demonstrated that they can't find their collective arse with both hands and a flashlight what else do you guys expect?

But they sure are pleased with themselves, aren't they?

After the GOP's recent antics, methinks Obama will rise up from the ashes in 2012. Bet on it.

Interesting who they had as the favorite for the GOP presidential nomination. Maybe that's why they had Obama as such a big favorite overall.

Regards,

Blocked.

It's all about the economy, and how the public perceives the healthcare thing imo.

Gosh, for a party that was finished in 08 we're really causing you guys a lot of trouble
