Shuler being Rep. Heath Shuler (D-NC), one of the 11 House Democrats to take a stand against the Pelosi-Reid-Obama Debt Act of 2009. Apparently he doesn’t see 2 or 3 Republicans supporting the measure out of 219 GOPers in Congress as “bipartisan”. Huh.

Rep. Heath Shuler (D-N.C) has further ingratiated himself with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi — not — by declaring that Pelosi and Harry Reid “failed” the bipartisanship test on stimulus.

“In order for us to get the confidence of America, it has to be done in a bipartisan way,” Shuler said in Raleigh following an economic forum, according to the AP.

“We have to have everyone — Democrats and Republicans standing on the stage with the administration — saying, ‘We got something done that was efficient, stimulative and timely.’”

Here’s the kicker: “I truly feel that’s where maybe House leadership and Senate leadership have really failed.”

Needless to say, Congressman Shuler isn’t Nancy Pelosi’s favorite House member. Now it doesn’t look like he’s trying to make friends with Harry Reid, either. Good for him for taking a stand against this monstrosity.
