GOP bucks trend of helping constituents, to deny stimulus money

Yeah. You read that right. Some absolutely idiotic Republican governors figure it's a far better idea to risk financial ruin for their states and its constituents over politics rather than help those that could really really use that money.

I will repeat this shenanegans:  GOP Governors Are Not Going to Spend Money GIVEN to Them by the Federal Government to SPEND. All over politics. 

Democrats can't save the country. Then the Republicans will never win an election again! I know....Let's completely doom ALL of our constituents in hopes of ruining this whole little stimulus thing so all the Democrats get voted out over the next four years and we can reclaim dominance to do exactly what we did for the last eight years which culminated in us getting in this jam in the first place. BRILLIANT!

Sounds crazy, but it might not be too far from the truth. And the absolutely ridiculous thing about this is that after all this posturing and bullshit about sticking to their political guns, they're going to take the money anyway.

This after an article in the NYTimes this morning about how the citizenry of this country really don't give a shit about politics right now and just want people in there willing to fix this mess. Which, of course, is not what these governors are doing. Hopefully none of these idiots will be around too much longer.
