TPM: Behold the Hypocrimap! (tracking R's who trashed the bill who now take credit for it)

[Pirate Smile]

Behold the Hypocrimap!
It's one thing to accept money from a piece of legislation you campaigned strenuously against. But we're seeing more and more stories about Republicans who just got done trashing the stimulus bill in Washington and are now back in their districts taking credit for the spending programs contained in it. A lot of the stories have already been written up. But I think there are many, many more out there. So keep an eye on your local media for examples.



And remember, the criteria are pretty clear. Every House Republican voted against the bill. So any member of the House with an R after his or her name qualifies. And in the senate pretty much the same with the exception of Snowe, Collins and Specter.

Send us links or other citations. We'll apply the appropriate snark and share with the rest of the TPM readership, all culminating in a ground GOP Stimulus Hypocrimap.

1. We are thinking of throwing a parade for our Repub Senators

....because they are Snowe and Collins!!!! I hope, for once, Maine actually GOT something instead of just the bill and excuses! The lovely thing is that the Repukes can't retaliate against them and try to get the removed because our Dem govenor will replace them with a Dem (probably Tom Allen who is very, very left)!! I feel for once this state that God forgot is sitting right squat on the top of the throne!! You go, girls!~!!

3. Rec'd~ To go Viral~

Those fuckers..if we had a free press they would be held accountable for that but since we don't..the corporatemediawhores will try and bury their original stance on it.

Somehow they've still been tripping themselves up no matter what the cmwhores do for them.
