re: #30 Charles Johnson

I don’t blame Ryan for asking for stimulus money, by the way — that’s what it was for.

But the reeking hypocrisy of the GOP’s scorched earth, no compromise, “everything Obama does is bad” strategy has never been more obvious. Ryan was right to request the money, and a total asshole to deny it.

I have no doubt he worked to see his state got its stimulus money. It would be insane not to. There were a few governors (Jindal and I think Perry) who made some noises about refusing stimulus funds but of course they never followed through on blocking the funds. It would have been an insanely stupid thing to do.
