They take the Money, But Act Holier Than Thou

Why must we always over-think these things.

The Repblicans are hypocrites on this one - all in congress (okay...except those brave three) voted NO but acted YES. How is that any different from Newt trying to mpeach and remove Clinton while he was cheating on his wife with his assistant?

Whose money is it?

For example, if I vote against a free government program - and I am still forced to pay for it - is it hypocrisy if I use? Explain.

You're language is misleading. You state it as if you're being asked to pay for the whole pot of money. In reality, if the pot of money is one dollar, all you're likely to contribute is 0.00001 cent or some riduculously small amount in comparison. If you're acting high-and-mighty on such a meager contribution then do an about face and take more than you paid for, yes, it's hypocrisy. Considering that many red states contribute less to the federal government than they get in terms of money, my analogy isn't too far off.

Some states get MORE than they ever pay
by MayaPinion

so those states are actually ripping off the states who pay more than they get.

But that was not my point. My point was...those bastards knew they were going to take the money, and like it.

They were just preening like the pompous screw-ups they are. They helped "w" fuck up our country, and they will pose as if they have principles NOW, and STILL they will spend the money.

They must have been paying close attention to the ones who wrote the book on "principles" and "hypocrisy"...Daschle, Pelosi, Reid, Frank, Raines, Geithner, Richardson, now Burris, Emanuel...That's not even all, and we're only 30 days in.

well why do you suppose she dropped out? my gut feeling is that her trust fun is in tax sheltered overseas accounts like the rest of her litter mates and they don't need the microscope treatment right new. it would shed undue light on the rest of the junkies and drunks in her brood.
