Have the liberals considered offering a plan that Republicans might support?
That is, after all, what bi-partisanship is.
No matter how hard you try, you cannot get past the fact that if The Obama's plan fails, it is because the DEMOCRATS failed to pass it.
Yes Goob...they have tried and when they did, the Party of No walked away again. THAT is the entire point of the article. The Party of No has made it clear that they are not interested in any type of bi-partisan bill.
So as a result...that's why I say "screw em".
As for your final contention...we agree. I'm not and have never tried to get "past" the fact that if Obama's plan fails it is because of the Democrats.
The Democrats can get this done without a single Republican vote. Americans put the Democrats into power to get something done. If the Dems fail to recognize this and don't take advantage of the political capital that they were given by the voters, then they don't deserve to be a majority party.
