My Plan In Action

Remember the other day when I talked about what should be done to guarantee that Republican members start endorsing President Obama's American Recovery and Reinvestment Act bill? Well in that post I mentioned the massively hypocritical Governer Mark Sanford of South Carolina. Now this guy among other things claims that the government shouldn't intervene in the economic crisis and businesses should be allowed to fail. But check out his answer when John King asks him flat out if he would reject federal funds from the stimulus bill since he is so opposed to that kind of intervention.



This just illustrates once again that Republicans don't have the courage of their convictions. They don't believe the bullshit they are trying to sell you. When it comes down to it he is going to take the money and run after screaming at the top of his lungs that it amounts to socialism. That's who these people are. It's not just Sandford, although he is one of the worst. These elected officials in the GOP are only good at winning elections and smearing other people. They have not the first clue nor do they want to find the first clue when it comes to governing and making good decisions for our nation. At some point the people who vote Republican are simply going to have to put down the koolaid and examine whether their actions ever match up to their rhetoric. I can tell you right now, for the most part it won't!
