We’ll be seeing more of this:
Reid said that the Senate will have the opportunity to take up other job-creation provisions in the future once this first bill passes. “The answer is not to do nothing,” Reid says in prepared remarks. “It is to do something to create jobs, and then create more jobs, and then create more jobs after that. That’s why this is not the only jobs bill or the last jobs bill we will bring to the floor.”
“But, we can’t do it alone,” says Reid. “Republicans share the responsibility to govern. If they support this bill — as they have in the past — and if they join us now to pass it, we will do many, many more just like it. However, if they once again put partisanship ahead of people — if they once again try to distract from the issue at hand — they will only confirm their reputation as the Party of No. They will only confirm the American people’s fears that Republicans refuse to do anything to help them.” (Emphasis mine)
Observations: (1) Reid is making Republicans vote a lot. (2) He’s getting defections. (3) This will keep happening between now and November; expect a long list of Republican losses.
