Defend the stimulus!

Seriously, Rachel Maddow is doing a great job attacking Republican hypocrisy for on the one hand, attacking last February's stimulus as ineffective and, on the other hand, trying to get more stimulus money for their states. But the Democratic Party has to do its part.  The Democratic Party, the President and all of the Senators and Representatives, have to strongly and forthrightly, without apology, defend the stimulus. The can't go scrambling around trying to find a different name for the successful bill (Naming it the "jobs" bill as opposed to just saying "stimilus II"). The ONLY reason that the word "stimulus" is unpopular is because of Republican propaganda, period! We need pushback, not retreat!
