A Simple Question

Do conservatives not realize that they lost the election on the economy? Apparently the answer is "no," as we see this from WaPo today:

"A group of us Republican senators are working on coming up with an alternative package that I would hope would have some elements to it that Americans would support," said McCain, who lost the November 4 U.S. election to Obama, a Democrat.

The voters don't think you're ideas will work to fix the economy, stop pushing the ideology and let those who won the election go to work.

As for negotiating the bailout package...this is a debate over two very different economic theories; a stimulus package that is a patchwork of both serves no one well except Republicans who can hang on to their economic ideology for a little while longer.
