Economy

The Hypocrite Half-Dozen

According to TPM, the following Republican senators voted for the jobs bill today, while also voting to filibuster/kill the jobs bill last week:

Lamar Alexander (R-TN)
Thad Cochran (R-MS)
James Inhofe (R-OK)
George LeMieux (R-FL)
Lisa Murkowski (R-AK)
Roger Wicker (R-MS)

And those who were absent Monday but voted yes today:

Orrin Hatch (R-UT)
Richard Burr (R-NC)

This is like stabbing a guy in the neck, then reluctantly turning around calling an ambulance and taking credit for saving the guy's life.

The parade of Republican hypocrisy and contradictions keeps rolling along.
