Seems that a lot of GOPers are starting to grow a backbone:
South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford is expected Wednesday to become the first governor to formally reject some of the federal stimulus money earmarked by Congress for his state.
The move will cement Sanford’s growing reputation as a political powerhouse among Republican party stalwarts nationwide — though how much of the estimated $8 billion in stimulus funds destined for South Carolina will be affected is unclear. The law allows state legislative leaders to accept funds the governor rejects.
“Our objections to the so-called stimulus bill have been well-chronicled for the way it spends money that we don’t have and for the way this printing of money could ultimately devalue the American dollar,” Sanford said on Tuesday, even as he acknowledged that he’ll accept some.
“Those of us opposed to this package lost the debate on these merits, and I now think it is important we look for creative ways to apply and use these monies in accordance with the long-term interests of our state,” he said.
Obama and his Democrats are bent on bribing us with our grand-childrens money to become socialists – and it is up to us GOPers to say, “no”, loud and clear. We can’t be bought and we won’t be bossed.
The pressure on any GOPer who shows courage will be intense – Obama will set out his goons to smear; get the MSM to slander; do end-runs around GOP officials; do everything he can to make life difficult both as a means of punishing Republicans who stand up to him as well as intimidating any other GOPers or moderate Democrats who are thinking of challenging his vision for a United Socialist States of America.
All we have to do is stand fast – the wheels are already coming off the Obama Express and as things tank, the American people will start to cast about for a lifeline, and it will be those people who defied Obama who will be holding out the hope for a better future.
