They must provide substantive, innovative and principled alternatives, which are rooted in free market and individualistic principles – like this one (”The Greening of Social Security” - http://thescholarsforum.org/) The Scholar http://www.thescholarsforum.org "Ex Scientia Lux" "From Knowledge Light" If the Republicans are to stay politically relevant over the course of the next two or four years and want to avoid the same trap democrats fell into after Bush was elected, they must do more than simply act as obstructionists to the Liberal agenda.

I don't want the FEDERAL government to have control of how the money is spent for the stimulus...the STATES must decide what is best. The feds should take care of the country and the states should take care of the individual stimulus packages the feds provide. Otherwise it is ATLAS SHRUGGED...By the way, have you ALL read it? It's happening right now. (CONTINUED) WITH TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS just being nilly-willy turned over to the same people who have caused this mess: Congress, Wall Street and the Banks is insane!

The Democrats certainly did not try to go along with what the Republicans brought forth. The Republicans are a bunch of wimps when it comes to vetting the cabinet members...Geithner is a tax evader and he's going to be making the policy and telling the rest of us how we have to pay OUR taxes? I think we need to have a tax revolt. With TRILLIONS Republicans have to return to the core! The Democrats certainly did not try to go along with what the Republicans brought forth.

The woman is scary. But this is typical leftist behavior: they never play fair. I think Toral has it right.

I can't believe there is not at least one other person in the House who has better leadership abilities than Pelosi (especially when she doesn't have true leadership abilities at all - being a power-hungry maven who always has to have their own way is more like a recalcitrant child having a temper-tantrum - not who I want making decisions). So, you House Democrats, take back your cajones from Nancy P. and run the House in a more civilized, respectful manner. Then give the others back to the Republicans and perhaps your group can actually start worrying about the United States instead of your respective parties!

Then he signs the bill as Pelosi has redesigned it. I expect things to work like this:

1) Obama invites GOP input and listens politely;

2) Obama proceeds with what he intended to do originally, offering 3 or 4 small-to-medium compromises (per major policy package) to the GOP if they give the package substantial support;

3) Pelosi removes all but 1 small compromise from Obama’s proposed package and rams the bill through the House; Reid does the same in the Senate;

4) Obama expresses disappointment in the removal of his compromises and says that he wishes that the process in Congress could have been more bipartisan and incorporated some good Republican ideas so that it might have gotten more Republican support.
