A before-the-event article containing scant information. If Republicans carry through their threat to block the bill, it will be the second example in a week of Republicans refusing to allow Americans any benefit of their governance. Their usual “my way or no way” approach means the Sisters of Oil will not only continue to receive government subsidies, but also continue to reap $1,200 a-second profits. Amazingly, in an election year Republicans are pandering to special interests about an issue that’s incensed most Americans. An issue that takes a big bite out of their budgets. Do Republicans have a death wish? .

Rather than trying to report fairly, the author uses loaded words ("whining about GOP obstruction") to push her private, neo-con agenda.

First you say you do and then you don't, baby what do you want to do? Lyrics form a 1940's vintage, but topical now. The decision here is all partisan, the democrats voted "yae" and the repub's voted "nay". Those taxes would most surely help an ailing economy. The taxpayers cannot keep throwing their money at corporate America.

This is horrible, even by right-wing blog standards. It's a descriptive rant that is very light on the "descriptive".
