Line In The Sand
by digby
The conservatives are all very excited about the mission being accomplished. But, there's a fly in the ointment:
NRO
's Andy McCarthy: "All praise to Mitch McConnell for leading the charge that beat back this lunacy. Can someone explain why the White House thought this was a good idea?"
Actually, Dick Cheney made himself pretty clear:
"If we don't do this, we will be known as the party of Herbert Hoover forever,"
Michelle Malkin, however, like most Republicans, believes there are more important things than throwing the country into a depression:
"The Bush administration apparently didn't understand the message last night. [...] Senate Republicans drew a line in the sand on bailout mania. And now the White House is scrambling to erase it and expand the crap sandwich once more to rescue the UAW. No means no."
The Republicans are giving the majority of the country tough love.
