WTF is wrong with the Republican ELECTED congress/senators

puremagic

They are acting like some goddamn high school players who don't want to play because their quarterback is black. Get over yourselves, its not about you, its about the people who elected you to make the best decisions in the interest of the State from which you represent and the Nation as a whole, not your petty ass Party.

If you have another source of income to help your States stay afloat, to put your constituents back to work, to support your failing businesses, and too control and stop foreclosures, put it on the table, - you had 8 goddamn years to have a plan in place - where is at? If all you got is your stupid, selfish Party pride get over it. When you still have people living in FEMA trailers, when you still have ground water contamination, seems to me, turning down stimulus help should be the last thing you would refuse. Then again, I'm not dependent on the governors of Louisiana or Mississippi, nor do I have presidential hopes for 2012.

There really seems to be a huge disconnect from reality with these republican leaders. I say let them dig their own graves.

That's the real question, right there.

Yeah, blame the Republicans. The fact is both parties are to blame, deal with it.

in the end if things do turn around in the next 4 years, even slightly, there will be a lot of Republicans that lose their jobs..... or on the flip side, a lot of Dems might be unemployed

Maybe they are not voting for it because there is a lot of spending that should not be in there. Let's see when the Dems took the house and senate 2 years ago did they stand up to bush to try to get more control. Both parties suck.

These Republicans are killing their party. I think moderate conservatives and had about enough of them and their egos. Their party will be in complete shambles by the end of Obama's eight years.

So let me get this straight. The Republicans are refusing to go with what the Democrats are trying to push down everybody's throat because we've got a democratic president? If you believe this then you have completely fallen for the Democrats plan. Let's use our brains for a second and really think about this. Maybe the Republicans are not backing the stimulus package because they know that it's going to fail completely. Maybe they can see through all of the democratic spin and lies. And for the record, I'm not a Republican, never have been, never will. I do however see that they are standing their ground because of their belief that this stimulus package is a really bad idea.

I live in Louisiana, so the fact that Gov. Jindal is refusing the stimulus dollars does affect me in some way. Do you really think that any politician would give up free money without a good reason (and because it's coming from democrats is not a good enough reason). The republicans refusing the money are doing so because of all of the pork and earmarks that come along with accepting the money. For a bill that Obama stood up and told the American public contained no pork or earmarks, either he didn't read the bill or he straight up lied to every one's face. Do some research, the 1000+ pages of the stimulus bill are posted online. Every provision in the bill contains some sort of handout or pork. The fact that Obama claimed that there was none just proves to me that he is no better than Bush. Yeah, I said it, Obama is just like Bush just with better speaking abilities. In the end he is nothing more than just another of the same 'ol politician.

Let's not jump to anything here he has to win in 2012 first.

The other reason they are against it is because after two years the Federal Funds go away. Then the states must figure out how to pay for the programs that were expanded under the the so called stimulus plan. Which means they will have to raise taxes, which has worked so well in states like CA.

I might be crazy to think this but isn't it possible that after the federal money runs out in 3 years states can create their own legislation that will decrease those programs that were created or expanded......

isn't that why states have executive and legislative branches of governments?

I think the hope is that in 3 years things well be better then they are now thus we will not need some of those programs or expansion and a reduction would be necessary.... (ie less people will need medicaid, unemployment....etc.....)

nothing in politics is permanent

Except entitlement programs.

Try to take away social security, welfare, etc. and see what happens.

Reducing is not taking away.....

For instance Bush expanded unemployment after 911, granted it was only for 6 months, I think there is no debate that the financial situation is much worse now then it was then...

in addition most of those programs are means tested thus if things get better then people will no longer qualify, it will not have to be taken away.
