The face of the new Republican Party---both of them

(Via truthout)

Republican Congressmen John Mica of Florida and Don Young of Alaska . . . both stood with their party - good and true, cool conservative men - voting against President Obama's economic stimulus. So did every other GOP House member. Twice. But then, eager to ride a gravy train with a popular president at the throttle, each of them had the chutzpah to issue press releases praising aspects of the stimulus package - while never mentioning they'd actually voted "nay." This was followed by the spectacle of several other Republican House and Senate members who voted against the stimulus going back home during the Presidents' Day recess and touting the money the bill will provide their constituents

The "new" Republicans apparently feel that the American public has a very short memory, or else that the voters will believe any crap they hand them. Haven't we had enough of this kind of stuff? I hope the citizens of Florida and Alaska are paying attention.
