GOP lawmakers tout projects in the stimulus bill they opposed
By David Lightman | McClatchy Newspapers


WASHINGTON — Rep. John Mica was gushing after the House of Representatives voted Friday to pass the big stimulus plan.

"I applaud President Obama's recognition that high-speed rail should be part of America's future," the Florida Republican beamed in a press release.

Yet Mica had just joined every other GOP House member in voting against the $787.2 billion economic recovery plan.

Republicans echoed their party line over and over during the debate: "This bill is loaded with wasteful deficit spending on the majority's favorite government programs," as Minority Whip Eric Cantor, R-Va., put it.

But Mica wasn't alone in touting what he saw as the bill's virtues. Rep. Don Young, R-Alaska, also had nice things to say in a press release.

Young boasted that he "won a victory for the Alaska Native contracting program and other Alaska small business owners last night in H.R. 1, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act."

4. All that voted against it

should simply stay strong and not take a penny to show a strong vote against this misguided President that is going to send everyone to the poor house. According to them. Like they are saying: Our children and our grandchildren. If you feel that way take Nothing for your state, reduce the amount that will be owed and live your principal, right? as simple as that if your against it - reduce it!! Save your children
