whatever I want. And...I''ve decided to marry my horse.

Welfare for the rich is the only thing the Republican Party has ever stood for in the last 100 years.

I wonder why the billions given to banks and corporations is never considered welfare. Tax breaks, grants and bailouts are considered helping companies grow and prosper.

Why do we not want to help families grow and prosper?

Many of my views are conservative but the Republican party has been hijacked by the neocons and the lunatic fringe. Contrary to popular belief,Rush, Hannity et al do not speak for the majority of Americans. If the GOP wants to remain viable, it must move to the center. This is the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression. America needs action, not mindless obstructionism.

The Stimulus Package was design to create a "Welfare State" for all the states to turn them "BLUE". Welfare for All is the Democrats line in solving all of the problems we have in the economy?

No! The Stimulus was our New Presidents plan to stop the Economic Meltdown left to him by the Worst in our History and the Incompetent Republican Party. It would help if you poor people could keep up!!

Be it ever so humble, there''s nothing like Communism. Momma bird vomits chunks of the worm to her starving brood. If you don''t get a piece, you die.

It must be sad to have NOTHING but this insanity to post. You really haven't a clue what Communism is do you there sparky? You are just using ANYTHING that is put in your small little mind to drag down our New President. Come on and admit it, EVERYONE knows it already!

Hit the button too fast.

I voted Democrat b/c even though I have been a registered Republican since 1977, I got tired of the fear mongering and the attacking as unpatriotic anyone who doesn't agree with you; when Ann Colter published "Treason", I waited in vain for Republicans to disown her. When Republicans become the party of ideas again -- instead of soundbites -- I will start voting for them again. Because I'm a conservative, but I'm a thinking conservative.

[biblethumpar]

Winstrv . thank you for Voting democrat, but you voted for all the wrong reasons if that is why you voted Blue...

[dswallin]

States have been taking money for 60+ years; the GOP governors who are complaining are trying to shut the barn door after the horse has left the barn, gotten married, raised kids, had grandkids, etc. Which tells you how sincere they are.

That said, some of the money is available only if the state maintains or even increases funding for specific programs (Congressional Democrats are not big fans of "block grants"). Some states may not be in a position to do that, and may therefore have to forgo some of the federal money. Either that, or cut some other program even more than they were planning to in order to shift funds.

BTW, I voted Democrat b/c although I have been a registered Republican since 197

colorado_01 , write your congressman and let them know you dont need repaved bridges,
when a telephone line goes down, ask them to let it be.
dont take any of the money,
there arent enough tax payers in rural areas to keep up the maintenance on the aging infrastructure

irmcvet971 , its interesting that the ones makign all the noise
are 2 Governors with political aspirations in the national arena.
they are betting that the Stimulus
wont work and they want to pounce on the we told you so bandwagon,
they are Defeatists and opportunists nothing more.

[barbaraf4]

I say the other 47 governors should go ahead and decline. Let the other 3 states divide up the spoils and create utopia in our midst.

It has been about 150 years since we last had to deal with secession, but it might be worth giving it a try.

[irmcvet971]

, In Texas the GOP has gonce centrist, they just booted the crookedest speaker since Tommy Dleaye, Crooked Cradick is no more, and Slick ?Rick Perry, Bushs
shoeshine boy is facing opposition from a centrist republican..
not to mention the Democrats are holding steady

Posted by biblethumpar at 05:33 PM : Feb 22, 2009

Well I know I've talked to a lot of moderates in the south, people who have worked with us in Klan Watch and other very American Causes and they feel betrayed by these jerks!!

[irmcvet971]

I think governor''s have every right to decline portions or the entire amount since in the long run the taxpayer handout is a back door way to force states to implement programs that may be disadvantageous to the states and force states to raise taxes on its residents. This is also a back door way to force us to pay more in future taxes. The desperate governor''s will go for the amount without questioning any future downfall. The Feds are forcing the states to dance to their tune while they control the marionette strings. Dance you fools, dance!

You can't be serious??? ROFLMAO This isn't about ANYTHING but POLITICS and everyone knows it! These Southern Fascist have their hand so deep in the Governments Pockets NOW it's pittful! They EVERY LAST one of them supported Bush and the Republican Congress when they were Borrowing TRILLIONS for Iraq and to give Tax Cuts to the Rich... NEVER spoke a word. I'm telling you the Republican Party had better ditch the clowns or they are going to become a regional party... PERIOD!

Of course, these governors will take any worthless paper money that Obama prints and throws at them.

It's hard to figure Southern Fascist! We run Elections, they ignore them. We try to unite the nation behind the newly elected leader they do every thing in their power to tear it apart. There is one thing though that is becoming very clear. If the Republican Party does NOT ditch these Knuckle Draggers, they are certain to become a Regional Party. In the State of Wisconsin for example, so many Republican's have joined the Democrat Party that they now rank THIRD behind Independents in the State. The same thing is going on all across this nation. Who wants to be associated with or be represented by people like these. I'm serious! These people no more represent the Republicans I know and live around than a man in the moon.
