"I strongly opposed the stimulus, but the only thing that could make it worse would be if none of it returned to the taxpayers of Missouri."
What do you see wrong in trying to get taxpayers' money to fund projects in the states of the people who paid (or will be paying) the additional taxes (or greater interest on the national debt)?
Oh, I get it... like a typical liberal, you want someone else to pay for what you, or your state, gets.
If you were against gambling, but your parents won the Powerball lottery, would you let your personal politics keep you from asking them for much needed financial relief?
I didn't think so.
Get off your high horse. You're no different than the rest of humanity.
Too many people particularly on one side of the aisle speak with forked tongues.
Forget the sides of the aisle with forked tongues and look at the Head of State himself!
But ok, yes, I'll give you that politicians, in general and regardless of which side of the aisle they occupy on any given day, lie if their mouths are moving.

Might not be a very good idea to cut project funding off in Michigan. There's a LOT of unemployment in that state. Do the Dems want to lose Michigan's union vote?

So what you're really saying is those claiming personal responsibility, fiscal discipline, and family values and divine morality (whatever that means), when it comes down to it, will revert to their basest instincts once the temptation and opportunity presents itself.
Well at least you're honest about. I could almost rep you! Almost.
Republican posters with their noses in the air have responded to me "you are not a conservative you are a libertarian and there is a difference".And I have refereed to them as fake conservatives and nothing but puke {R}s and this story points that out with flying colors.
I am sure when we go to their campaign websites those {R} leaders will claim they are fiscal conservatives that fought against the stimulus and are concerned about the debt we are leaving our children.There won't be a peep on how they helped spend the stimulus money.
On another thread it talks about how the tea party is coming after Ron Paul's seat,one of his opponents is complaining that Paul never brings or fights for money for the district.Hmmmm,maybe Paul is the real conservative and is really concerned about the debt we are leaving our children.I think that is what is called principle,something that most fake {R} conservatives no nothing about.
Yep,those {R} posters were right their is a big difference between a fake conservative {R} and a conservative libertarian.
