I have no idea even what threads those are from, nor do I care. You attacked me chuckles, and have not commented intelligently or with facts in this thread.
Bobby Jindal
Here we have good old Bobby thrashing the
stimulus -
Yet on almost the same day we have little Bobby going to Anacoco, Louisiana to present a jumbo-sized check to residents of Vernon Parish
Here is a picture for you
And another
Egads, he printed his own name on the check...like he is taking
credit for it.
Here he is accepting $10 million in education funds, Weatherization programs in Louisiana, and law enforcement training programs, infrastructure grants, to community service programs. All creating jobs in his home state.
Rick Perry
Now remember, the good Rick Perry thinks Texas is so sufficiant, he should just uns-hed the shackles of Federal Government and run free from the stimulus. Well the stimulus offered him $555 million in a Federal grant. So now the groveling hypocrite has to ask for $650 million in a loan. So do you know the difference between a grant and a loan?
Texas asks for federal help after rejected stimulus money
"That $555 million would that would have come with the stimulus money wouldn't have to be paid back to the federal government and that would have saved business taxpayers money for the next 20 years," said Rep. Mark Strama, D-Austin.
Despite the loan, Gov. Perry defended his decision to those who questioned it.
"They are shortsighted and probably criticizing for a political reason rather than a legitimate financial reason," Gov. Perry said.
Financial reasons highlight the fact that this loan would be one of many.
"We are expecting to need to borrow about $650 million from the federal government through October 1st, to pay for unemployment benefits", Hatchitt said.
Really Rick? Just shortsighted political reason? Nothing to do with the fact your state now will have to pay back $650 million + interest where as you would have just received $555 million? Really Rick, can you be such a craven moronic hypocrite?
This is what his opponent next year, Kay Hutchinson, had to say:
GOP12
“Governor Perry recklessly turned down the federal unemployment insurance money. He never even looked at cutting the ridiculous federal strings attached to that money like I would have done. He didn’t even attempt to negotiate a way to relieve employers from a tax increase while helping Texans affected by the economic downturn.”
What about Senator Kyl?
The good Senator said the
stimulus package “hasn’t helped yet", and "What I proposed is, after you complete the contracts that are already committed, the things that are in the pipeline, stop it."
So Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood
writes to Arizona Republican Gov. Jan Brewer
The stimulus has been very effective in creating job opportunities throughout the country. However, if you prefer to forfeit the money we are making available to your state, as Senator Kyl suggests, please let me know.
To which the good Gov. responds:
“To forgo these funds at this time would be a disservice to Arizona taxpayers who have remitted their federal taxes in good faith and have seen many of those hard-earned dollars expended for the benefit of residents of other states,” the governor wrote. “Our citizens need their fair share of those funds returned home to provide for their families during these hours of our greatest need.“
Well ok, Kyl is not so much a hypocrite as he is a moron who obviously does not care about the best interests of his state. Gov. Brewer on the other hand seems to be living in reality at least.
But wait, is there more?
What about Rep. Kingston?
Yes the same Rep. Kingston who proudly is taking credit for stimulus money:
But wait, here he is slamming the same stimulus?

Mr. President, where’s the stimulus package? Where are the jobs? [...] Mr. Speaker, this is not the change the folks in Coffee County, Georgia, can use. They need jobs.
Where Rep. Kingston? I don't know, why not look on your own freaking webpage.
And good Reverend, good day :2wave:
