You're claiming there's something bad in the bill, and that's why Republicans aren't going to vote for it. Please tell us what, specifically, is bad. 1 Link to comment

I don't see anything that wouldn't go under the "Covid Relief" umbrella. I'll quote Biden here: “Critics say my plan is too big,” Biden said during a tour of a Pfizer plant in Michigan last week. “Let me ask them: What would they have me cut? What would they have me leave out?” 2 Link to comment

Why is the inclusion of any of these things so bad that the Republicans have to vote against it, especially in light of the fact that such things are commonly attached to bills by both parties? 1 Link to comment

I don’t find any of the things I mentioned bad, nor have I heard Republicans say they are either unless it’s based on money still available from last Covid package that hasn’t been spent/accounted for yet. 1 Link to comment

Moiraine Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 These people are f#&%ing insane. Things are not going to go well for this country if the GOP continues to be a force in its current state. The crazies in the party need to be the marginalized group and instead it's the other way around. Quote The Cass County Republican Party has again censured GOP U.S. Rep. Fred Upton — this time over his vote to remove Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene from her committees. -- "We believe Congressman Upton's vote is a betrayal of his oath of office and core values of the Cass County Republican Party," the resolution stated, adding that Upton's vote was against the interests of county voters. Upton was swift and incredulous in his response, highlighting the Cass County GOP's claim that Greene's comments "have not been out of line with anyone else's comments." "Really? She taunted a Parkland school shooting survivor, argued that California wildfires were started by a Jewish space laser, accused Democratic politicians of running a pedophile ring out of a pizza parlor, and questioned whether 9/11 really happened," Upton said. https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/politics/2021/02/24/cass-county-gop-censures-upton-over-vote-punish-marjorie-taylor-green/4572649001/ 1 1 Link to comment
