Republican Hypocrisy

Posted in: Muscatine

Rachel Maddow is furious about knee-jerk Republican opposition to anything the Obama administration proposes, but she is equally frustrated by "the futility of Democrats ... trying to persuade Republicans to go along with them on policies that are good for the country."

Maddow summed up the current Republican position as one of "Screw policy. Screw what even they believe is good for the country. Screw what even they believe is good for their own districts."

"They are not voting 'Yes' for even things that they agree with," Maddow explained. Her primary example of Republican hypocrisy was the Obama administration's economic stimulus program, which "passed despite every single Republican in the House voting 'No' on it."

"Since then, the consensus among economists is that the stimulus has worked," Maddow commented. But "if there's one thing Republicans agree on now, it's that the stimulus is a bad, bad policy. It's a bad idea that does bad things. It's a bad president's bad way of making a bad economy more bad -- because he's bad."

Maddow pointed out, however, that "the same Republicans who have trashed the stimulus as a bad, bad thing" have also been showing up "in their home districts taking credit for all the good things the stimulus has done."

Odd you choose to ignore the topic at hand and switch the topic to multiple usernames. A topic we know yourself to be a expert on. Rest assured, I have no multiple user names. I'm sure Neighborhood link can confirm this for you.

 

Regardless, as Babybird points out, you'll call me whatever fits your agenda. Here I thought you were ignoring the topic. This could be Hypocrisy at it's finest.Wink

Allow me to translate......NIACC 101. 

 

"I have no multiple user names".   This is a meandering reference meant to mislead.  It simply means that he had usernames before, and now has this one.  Simple enough.  No rule against that.  I mean gosh...it's not like we don't know who it is.  Let the guy have his fun.
