GOP Infighting

It's nice to finally see cracks in the loyal opposition's armour. More concerned about their fortunes in 2010 and beyond than giving a crap about the American people, the GOP politicians are arguing over the stimulus. Idiot governors like SC's Mark Sanford are grandstanding by claiming they will not accept parts or all of the stimulus, despite the fact it was written in the legislation governors could NOT willy-nilly deny the money; the state legislatures can override any governor's opposition. The governors' "target" in their opposition is extended unemployment benefits. People have to understand these rich assholes who compromise much of the GOP are opposed to UI on principle. They think people who are laid off or fired are responsible for their own fate, and nobody should "bail them out" despite the fact it is businesses who do the layoffs. People on UI don't get it if they quit their jobs (with a few rare exceptions). No, the few GOP governors bitching about UI want the unemployed to go to states with more generous benefits so they don't have to pay out. Well, too goddamned bad.

The idiocy of these cultists knows no bounds. The unemployed do vote, you know, and not all of them are non-voters, Democrats, or even independents.
