Kazart! Republicans grow a pair!

The stimulus bill (H.R. 1) passes the House 244-188, without a single Republican voting "yes."

"Finally. A party of opposition worth its name."

UPDATE: Man, if all it took to get Republicans to vote conservative was to elect a Democratic president, this is a change I can believe in. Republicans were also able to get a vote on their alternative plan, so they can say they didn't just vote "no." Allahpundit says "for good or ill, this is entirely the Democrats' baby now." Surely it will be for ill.

UPDATE II: Worthy mentioning that 11 Democrats also voted "no," so the opposition is bipartisan. Heh.

  3. I gotta admit, this is the first time in a few years I've actually been proud to be a Republican.

  4. Why is it "for worse" that the Democrats "own" this bill?
