The Republicans did what?

More than 100 congressional Republicans, after voting against the stimulus bill, wrote Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood seeking money from $1.5 billion the plan set aside for local road, bridge, rail and transit grants. Most of these Republicans voted against the stimulus bill because they said it wouldn't create real jobs, just temporary jobs that didn't count. Then they turned around and wanted some of that money, they voted against, for their states to create some of those jobs they were looking down on. The Republicans did WHAT?

Obama, during a Feb. 19 speech to the Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce, said congressional critics are calling the stimulus a “boondoggle” while “making appearances at ribbon-cuttings” for local projects financed by the bill. “They’re trying to vote against their cake and eat it, too,” he said. They voted against you in order to vote against Obama.

Thirty four Republicans voted against ending debate on Unemployment Extension. The 9 billion dollar package will also pay for health benefits under COBRA and the national flood insurance program. And then they voted against it and against their own constituents.

Earlier this year the Republicans voted en masse against the Pay-As-You-Go measure. They voted NAY because it was proposed by Obama and the Democrats even though most of them had voted for the very same proposal five times before, once in '04, three times in '05, and again in '06. But, those were proposed by the Republicans, and they couldn't let the Democrats gain credit. But, by voting against the measure, they are really voting against the citizens of the United States.

Right from the beginning the President stated that he wanted tax cuts and the Republicans voted NO. All that and for years the Republicans have said that Tax Cuts create more income. But what they were really for was Tax Cuts for the Rich, not you and me.
