The news today is all about the fact that the Senate finally passed a version of the economic stimulus. So why are USAction / TrueMajority.org and other liberal groups just now pushing out a new in-your-face web ad hitting right-wingers for stalling while rome burns? Because it ain't over yet.

Getting the watered-down stimulus past the obstructionist Republicans in the Senate got us to halftime; now the game is about the conference committee putting BACK the money for school construction, health care for the unemployed, etc. The Senate version already creates a million fewer jobs than the House version -- we gotta get those back. So, we're getting in the GOP's face by taking 60 seconds of their "greatest hits" of screwing around, and matching it to the spinning unemployment-o-meter. Hopefully in the meantime the Dems are putting the good stuff back in the bill behind the conference committee doors; our job is to make it impossible for the Senators worshipping Hoover's ghost to even think about blocking the final bill once it comes out.
Remember the Super Bowl. We're almost there, but there's way more than 35 seconds left.
