Almost as if to undo all the good vibes with the grassroots that the House GOP gained in staying united against Obama's Trillion-Dollar Turd, at least two GOP Congressmen are now touting the benefits of the massive pork-laden spending bill.

Those that do less get more. Those that contribute only get pennies a day.
Why are we rewarding bad behavior?
OMG! John Mica! I know his wife...was friends with her when she worked for my parents during high school and college. Communication with her stopped quite some time ago.
He’s in it for “himself,” like so many others.
(chuckling) Gotta tell my mom. She still gets Christmas cards from them.
I got a call from the GOP today asking for a donation to fight this democratic administration. I told them NO not until I see Michael Steele tell this bunch of wimps that unless and until I see them develop some backbone they get not a cent. I told this nice guy that anger out here is very real and if this does not stop, if one cent goes to the THREE STOOGES they will likely see the end of the Republican party and a conservative movement will emerge. He said we have to support the gop to fight the impending socialiasm that could come..I told him that happened yesterday when we were sold out. I told him I expect to hear the republicans in the wells of the house and senate call the democrats for what they are socialists..he thinks there are thereats that keep them from doing it. I said this calling them my friend across the aisle is bs.
Let’s hope it turns out like the fire ant poison you pour on the ant hill and they carry it right back to the queen!
And they probably said they’d pass your comments on and then plop them in the nearest circular file. But ya gotta vent sometimes .
Yup, they sold us out yesterday and today we have two nitwits trying to tell us that there are some good parts to this bill?
I love pork chops, but I won’t eat the snout or the pig’s a$$...and that’s what they’re trying to feed us.
Are they mice or men?? What are the RATS going to do - Kill them?? I would like to have him tell us exactly what these 'threats' are!
Do you have a source for that?
Here is a quote from the McClatchy rag (adn.com)
- Stimulus vote puts Young on offensive
Rep. Don Young was gnashing his teeth after the stimulus bill passed the U.S. House, and Lisa Murkowski and Mark Begich were split on it in the Senate, where it also won a favorable vote late Friday night. "I think it's an unfortunate day for America. This is probably the most selfish vote for individual gratification I have ever witnessed in 35 years," said Young, R-Alaska.
Why don’t you just read the article this is linked to? The quote from Young praising the stimulus is right there
Begich is the liberal democrat that replaced Senator Stevens last fall.
Young boasted that he "won a victory for the Alaska Native contracting program and other Alaska small business owners last night in H.R. 1, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act." One provision would have made it harder for minority businesses to win contracts, and Young explained that he "worked with members on the other side of the aisle to make the case for these programs, and was able to get the provision pulled from the bill."That quote?
Maybe you think he should have done nothing while his constituents were being thrown under the bus?
Nope, just responding to the post.
Did you ever catch any of their radio commercials? They were great, very dark humorous. The one I liked best was where the voice over intoned how they would take the bait, carry it back to their nests and then, in a very delighted tone he says, “They all die! Including the queen!”
Great spots.
Just got two money requests from the RNC today. I’m sending both back empty with postage due.
If your Congressman voted against this, you need to thank him with more than a phone call. Just whining about the RNC because they can’t control Specter is playing exactly in the D’s hands.
