...a one-way ticket to hell.

It's time for Barack Obama to tell Republicans to go to hell. He ain't gonna get much, if any, GOP support for the economic stimulus bill. Republicans want what they've always wanted -- tax cuts and more tax cuts. Obama and the Democrats want jobs and public improvement and infrastructure projects. Yes, it's the same old same old Republican policies of the past decade or two that have ruined the nation's economy. And Republicans haven't learned that lesson. They are too ornery, or too Bushed. Well, there's enough Democratic support for a stimulus package to get through Congress. Without Republicans. So go to it, Obama and Democrats. And if the Republicans try to block it with a filibuster, there'll be public outrage. Enough to give Republicans a one-way ticket to hell. Just where they belong. --Jim Broede
