GOP! Unh! What is it good for? Absolutely nothing!

Why it makes no sense to "reach out to" (i.e., roll over for) congressional Repugnicans:

ECONOMIC STIMULUS
$819 Billion in Spending & Tax Cuts
FINAL HOUSE VOTE

------------------------YEA------NAY-------PRESENT ----NOT VOTING
DEMOCRATIC------244--------11
REPUBLICAN------------------177
INDEPENDENT
TOTALS--------------244-------188

All the talk about bipartisanship and compromises and dropping this or that from the package to woo them over to supporting the bill..... for this.
