Douche(s) #9: House Republicans

Hey Kids,

Remember when the GOP were controlling the playground and it was "my way or the highway!" If Democrats even spoke their opinions, the pundit class would hound them as being "traitors" who don't put their country first. Do you remember all the threats and taunting thrown at everyone who was worried about TARP's effectiveness? Okay.. now keep that in mind when I tell you the 188 major-league douche bags in the House (aka- the GOP delegation) today voted against the new stimulus package.

Their reasons? Well they suddenly grew a concern for fiscal conservativeness and were worried about all that spending. They even trumped up false numbers to justify it. Oh yeah... and they wanted all those tax cuts that worked so well the past few years.

So let me put this into perspective. The last stimulus bill that they worked so hard for gave billions of dollars to bald-Paulson to do, well... whatever he wanted with it. No strings attached. He just gave it to his rich friends in the banks and they bought themselves all sorts of fancy things (for doing such a good job). That plan failed so miserably that we're having to debate a second stimulus bill. Once we have a stimulus bill aimed at invigorating the core parts of our ailing country (infrastructure, science, education, health-care, etc.) and what does the House GOP do? Theyvote against it. They must have been drinking the Limbaugh kool-aid (now fortified with oxycontin, viagra, and 100% pure bull-shit!).

Whatever, the case I'm not afraid to call this for what it is. This is putting party before country. Self interests of appearance before the needs of their constituents. It's what they would call... "treason." So I hereby nominate the House GOP a whole bunch of traitorous douches!
