Arlen Specter, one of three Republican senators who have agreed to vote for the stimulus bill, is reported in the Huffington Post as saying that at least several other Republican senators actually support the bill but don't dare do so in public, fearing a primary challenge.
To claim that the bill is not bipartisan because a Republican won't vote for it is dishonest -- the claim that instead of "job, jobs, jobs," we have "spend, spend, spend," is equally dishonest, since at this point to spend is to create jobs, especially when the spending is for the basic needs of those who are in the worst economic circumstances.
