They were on board, until Nancy's screed, at which point any normal person would question the action; why should they support something that, as the GOP 2008 platform states, is contrary to the Republican's stated mission (the mission they were presumably elected to pursue, about which their constituents were calling and emailing), especially with such juvenile tactics as a "motivator"? |
LOL. You continue to ignore the facts. The whining is just silly. Anyone who claims that the House Republicans are so thinned skinned that they should go cry in the corner over a short and largely innoffensive speech obviously ignores the tactics that the Republican House members themeselves use, which are right out of Karl Rove's playbook.
Even Rush Limbaugh made fun of the idea that it was Pelosi's speech that caused the House Republicans not to support the package.
If you want to come up with an excuse for why the Republican's didn't keep their word to their own House leadership, you and Boehner need to try harder. That one is simply stupid.
