developing story: 6-8 governors will reject federal porkulus monies
(Excerpt) Read more at cnn.com ...
Racists.
States that opt for a free market economy instead of grabbing the socialist pork should mount a marketing campaign based on that fact. Almost all of my non-grocery shopping is done on line and I’d go out of my way to patronize their merchants.
In this particular instance, I wouldn't look at this as abhorrent doublespeak. It's dang good strategery and the refusing governors are protected no matter the outcome of the stimulus package and whether they have to take the money or not. I hope everyone gets my drift.
It appears to me the GOP leaders and politicians are finally communicating with each other on how to fight back using all the shrewdness and smarts of the enemy. In unity, there may not be enough strength yet, but it's a great start for publicity and psychological purposes.
I applaud their stand, even though we don't know all the details of who, what and if right now, LOL.

The black Rep. who put that clause in said he did it to prevent white southern governors from taking money away from "black folk" in their states. He said it is RACIST to oppose the stimulus.
It wouldn’t be the first time DC has ignored/denied states rights.
This is going to get really ugly, I am afraid.
Of course this is being spun as racism
I agree. And I think that Obama has a mental illness such as narcissistic personality disorder. He won’t like a revolt.
How does a state legislature require a governor to actually spend the money?
Oh well, reality bites in that case, for him.
OB should just divide up all the stimulus by the number of pigs at the trough and pass it out.

Have elections ever been suspended in this country?
I don’t think so - even during the Civil War (or War of Northern Agression to our Southern friends) there was a Presidential election in 1864.
Which other ones are on the list.
Palin doesn’t surprise me. Mine (NY) would.
Where on earth did you get that clip of the people walking into that hole in the ground?
Drill in ANWAR, ignore the ban.
Eric Holder will send in tanks, and kill.
Fort Sumter ... in reverse.
Revolution ... funny, I heard that today ... its buzzing around the country. Its in the air.
Obama and Pelosi have pushed all the right buttons.
I understand your frustration with Governor Perry, I echo it, but Molly Ivins isn’t one to quote. She will never be missed, sorry just don’t miss her.
