CNN had a post about the Republican Trust PAC the other day stating how the National Republican Trust PAC threatened any Republican Congressmen/women who voted for the stimulus plan. That means those Repubs in Congress were NOT VOTING FOR THEIR CITIZENS like they were elected to do but rather to have their strings pulled by some PAC special group!
Here's part of the article quoted on CNN site (GOP group gets tough against Republicans who support stimulus). I only include it here because we all know how fast information gets deleted on the Web.
“Republican senators are on notice," Wheeler said. "If they support the stimulus package, we will make sure every voter in their state knows how they tried to further bankrupt voters in an already bad economy.” (Wheeler is with that PAC)
I call this BLACKMAIL! I thought it was very strange that the Repubs were voting in some kind of "block" against the bill...it was VERY obvious there was something going on with them. As I listened to their arguments on C-Span2, none of their arguments made sense and they manipulated the past to suit their argument. Case in point...Japan...where we all know the lesson was learned that they didn't have a big enough stimulus so Japan had to use more of them...but the Repubs didn't bring that up. They brought upJFK years...but the economy wasn't is bad shape then (I do remember those years and they weren't like now)
Here's the link to the full CNN article. (at least it's available yet this morning)
