No, it doesn't; you are correct. Democrats vote FOR it even though it's bad because they want the money. We all know that.
However, consider this: If something you don't think is good for the country passes, and the money is being distributed, and your constituents ask you for some of it, would you say "no" and let it go to the state next door? Be realistic. Once it passes, the money is spent.
While your argument is the best so far, it doesn't fit Paul Ryan. He really does not listen to his constituents.
Also, to answer your question, I wouldn't be put in that situation because:
1. I have no want to run for elected office.
2. If I did I would not vote for or against something the people I am representing do or don't want. Ryan is there for himself, not the people who elected him to be their voice.

Odd conclusions on your part.
Ryan doesn't listgen to his constituents?? That must be why he gets elected by a good margin in a district that is largely democrat. Does that make sense to you?
I understand you "have no want to run for elected office". That's OK. That wasn't the question.
Your point #2 is precious. You've got political double-talk down pat.

Rep. Paul Ryan, a fiscal conservative and critic of federal handouts, has sought for his constituents an expansion of food stamps, stimulus money, federally guaranteed business loans, grants to invest in green technology and money under President Barack Obama'shealth care reform law.
He has to do something for the people who voted him into office. He might not always like it, but the voters expect something to come back to them. That is the nature of the beast.

That doesn't change the fact that he's a hypocrite.
Agree, and it's so much better to be open about thievery like democrats are.
At least we know what we're dealing with, with them.
Exactly. Unfortunately most people out there think there's a real difference between the two parties.
