Partisan or non

The LAT's Noam Levey, a Dem propagandist, has a piece in today's newspaper about negotiations over the stimulus bills. Levey highlights a quote from liberal Senator Olympia Snowe, one of a small number of Republicans who support the Senate version, lamenting its failure so far and suggesting that other Republicans are partisans for opposing it. Most Republican Senators apparently were willing to pass the House bill, which was nonpartisan, last week. The fact they oppose a partisan Senate bill does not make them partisans.
