Mr. Short-Term Memory
Congressman Bill Shuster (R-PA) hates the stimulus bill. HATES it.
– Last week, Shuster attended the groundbreaking ceremony for a sewage treatment plant for the Blairsville Municipal Authority. Republican State Senator Don White noted that the project was only possible because of the stimulus, which allowed the state Infrastructure Investment Authority (PENNVEST) to provide a $10.4 million grant and a $3 million low interest loan for construction.– On November 4, Shuster asked Gov. Ed Rendell (D-PA) to use some of the state’s stimulus money to reopen the Scotland School for Veterans’ Children. Shuster noted that using the Recovery Act money for the school would save 134 full-time jobs.
– In July, Shuster joined 14 Pennsylvania lawmakers — including fellow stimulus-opponents Reps. Glenn Thompson (R-PA), Charlie Dent (R-PA), Jim Gerlach (R-PA), and Todd Platts (R-PA) — in writing a letter asking that stimulus money be used towards public universities.
– In June, Shuster hailed the stimulus-funded initiative to build a high-speed rail line between Pittsburgh and Philadelphia. ...
Put another way, We hate stimulus! Nom-nom-nom-nom! More stimulus!
This falls in line with the short-term memory of the Republicans and wingnuts. Likewise, as I've been repeating here, you can expect that Republicans will be lining up for the public option. That is, Republicans who aren't already receiving Medicare or Medicaid.

This guy is an idiot. I just hope the Dems are gathering all of the clips of the hypocricy that's been going on since Obama took office. The campaign ads have written themselves.

A commenter named Marie at TP had this to say
>>And when the media reports on these GOP attack plans, will they also point out the hypocrisy of those who decry the stimulus plan while taking stimulus money – and worse, taking credit for the stimulus money?! My money says, no — the media will remain silent monkeys.>
Pretty much my sentiments as well. The left needs their own MSM attack plan like yesterday.
