Okay the video above is O'Donnell in another segment about the GOP using a 20 year old playbookThis is from Crooks and Liars--video of this is at the link
http://crooksandliars.com/john-amato/norah-odonnell-blasts-republicans-becau Feehery:.... They go first with this huge pork bill.
O'Donnell: Name one piece of pork.
Feehery: Ahhh, bhah,,,You can't do that to me right now, I can't think of it right now, but it was a huge bunch of stuff that we don't even know what's in there. :rofl:
O'Donnell: Well the reason I ask and it's not to put you on the spot and everything, but it's not pork. A lot of people say what it is, it's infrastructure spending, it is spending that is stimulative. That's what the White House says.

O'Donnell: Let me get this straight: Republicans want to come out and be against helping people who are unemployed?
Feehery: No, they don't want to do that, but they...
O'Donnell: But that's what it sounds like...
Feehery: What they don't want to is go bankrupt in the off years and that's why Republican governors are having a hard time with this legislation ... the relief is temporary, but the changes are costly forever.
O'Donnell: Well it doesn't sound clear that the republican party knows exactly what to do quite frankly since there's this disagreement between the government on what to do. I want to read from the Politico, which has an interesting story today which says: Republicans are hatching a political comeback by dusting off a strategic playbook written nearly two decades ago.
Its themes: Unite against Democrats’ economic policy, block and counter health-care reform and tar them from spending scandals.The key point, a playbook from two decades ago. This is really I guess the grand old party.
Is that really the best Republicans have?
Feehery: Well, hopefully not ...
O"Donnell: Is anybody a thinker in that party?
