It proves the point that there is nothing conservative about the about self-labeled "Conservatives".
August 11 2010 at 1:41 PM Report abuse Permalink +3 rate up rate down ReplySanford is just like the rest of the hypocrite Republican Governors and Senators who have criticized Obama for doing his best to help state governments that have also suffered greatly thru this Great Recession
However, they are the first ones at any job-producing project, smiling and claiming that they are the ones who supplied this financial help, and once the "ceremonies" are over will go right back to criticizing Obama
With Dem's continued failing policies, there is little choice but to take these funds at thsi point. The bigger issue is that if your local public transporation costs, city run facility costs, and city taxes keep rising unreasonably every year due to overspending, you will be wise to vote the current governor and mayor and Congressional legislators out on all levels, regardless of the endless excuses. Until America demands presidents, Congress and locals government operate within a PAY-GO balanced budget, our nation will continue to be beholden to outrageous pork, the endless unfunded spending and borrowing from our China. China is NOT our friend.

August 11 2010 at 1:45 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyWait a minute; the tax cuts didn't create jobs. Millions of jobs were lost during their tenure and the deficit soared. How can this be? Can Stockman's recantation of Reaganomics be accurate?
August 11 2010 at 2:14 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyLast year, it seemed like the right thing to do. Now, after the government has broken America, and they are NOT stimulating the economy for jobs, this is just picking up what's left on the table. I think Mark Sanford would have made a good president.

The stimulus never should have been done in the first place. Once it's out there, however, it's no longer a level playing field. They have to take it. There's no alternative.
August 11 2010 at 10:13 AM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyNo they didn't have to take it,all levels of government should learn to live within its budget just like WE,the people do.
August 11 2010 at 10:55 AM Report abuse Permalink +2 rate up rate down ReplyDennis...........pretty difficult for the States to live within a budget, when the Federal gov't is heaping costs on them that they never thought would be coming their way. Just one more way for the Fed to take control of everything. If you do not dance to their tune, you don't get any Fed assistance, but you must pay for all the inane programs passed by the Fed.
August 11 2010 at 12:52 PM Report abuse Permalink +1 rate up rate down ReplySurprise, Surprise, Mark Sanford taking stimulus money to hel his state. He is just another of the many Republican Senators and Governors who can be added to the growing list of hypocrites who criticize the Obama efforts to help the economy, but are the first ones to show up at job-producing projects claiming that they are the ones who magically produced the necessary funds. These smiling phonies then continue to criticize Obama, without having one concrete idea on how to help the economy
