Bullshit Posturing

When Obama decided that part of the way to get stimulus cash to quickly stimulate the economy was to give a shit-tonne of cash to the states to spend, many a republican governor cried foul and said they'd refuse the money. Screw the people in my state, I refuse the money because I want to make a stand. I want to show the world, that I am against Obama policies. I agree with Rush and hope that Obama fails, even if it has to take the economy down with it. (Bobby Jindal, the Gorilla from Wasilla, and Sanford from South Carolina were among the many republicans that felt that Obama failing was more important than reviving the economy, or helping the citizens of their states)

I knew almost immediately that it was all bullshit posturing and that when it came time to cut the checks they'd have their hands out with the rest of us. WHO can turn down [virtually] free money? Sure, it comes from taxpayer cash, but its being doled out just to be spent, which in turn revives the economy.

Well, today, one of the first dogs came crawling with their tail tucked far between their legs and it was Mark 'I'm too good for your money' Sanford of South Carolina. Lets all have a hearty laugh and point session, shall we?

Paying the salaries of folks who like to talk a big game they don't even play...
