Dems Want to Spend Our Money and Tax Us for More (Part 2)
This Roll Call Vote and number 40 in the previous post deal with party line votes and the bailouts and stimulus legislation from the US Congress. It is refreshing to see members of the GOP stand strong and united on these two roll call votes. Before now, where have you been boyz and grlz. This is no cause for celebration but it would be nice if this marked the beginning of a return to conservative values from members of the GOP. And a special thank you to the 11 Dems here and 9 in the other roll call who voted ‘no’ to tragic spending of public funds. However that is tempered by a distrust of Washington that this and several similar outcomes will not make believers out of conservative voters. This must become a trend.
Spending us into oblivion with our own money and taxing us into oblivion in the future will not preserve the middle class Mr Obama!! Ya, the middle class term you love to invoke in political speeches. Some of us may have been born at night, but it wasn’t last night. That goes for the rest of you in Washington too!! These proposals are like the article featured on this blog in an earlier post and link from Bloomberg where the author states they are like booze for alcoholics.
Stimulate the private sector with tax cuts and incentives to expand business, increase jobs and help the consumers earn enough to spend. After that foster prudent business and investment practices and restrain politicians from destroying what is left and what we may produce. Stimulate the private sector as government hasn’t seen an idea it cannot screw up.

So, the Republicans in the House grew a pair. I’m amazed. Truly.

No, they just had the sex change surgery. No telling if it will take. They have been the other way so long the new parts may be rejected.
As a serious note I agree with something I heard on the radio several times the last few days. Obama is talkin’ bipartisan (not to be confused with bisexual but the similarity is obvious) and the reason suggested is politcal cover to have it both ways. When it is all over, regardless of evidence, if they can spin the pork as a success he will market himself as bringing people together if it fails the GOP takes blame with him.
Without GOP support he can only win if it works which it will not. Then the lower level scapegoats get crucified. Or since he has a Muslim influence, off with their heads.
