GOP finally stands up

No GOP member of House of Representatives voted for the "Stimulus" Bill.  Many conservatives such as myself were very tired of the GOP going along with the Dems leading us to the poor house and to a more socialistic country.  One of the main reasons the GOP lost control of the House & Senate & the Presidency is that they started acting like Dems and not conservatives; they did not reduce waste or earmarks or taxes.

Finally they have stood up for us!  It is amazing all of the waste / pork in the "Stimulus" bill.  One of the major problems now is the lack of jobs; lots of people are losing their jobs NOW.  The Bill does almost nothing to lead to new sustainable jobs.

POVERTY, (n) A file provided for the teeth of the rats of reform. The number of plans for its abolition equals that of the reformers who suffer from it, plus that of the philosophers who know nothing about it. Its victims are distinguished by possession of all the virtues and by their faith in leaders seeking to conduct them into a prosperity where they believe these to be unknown
