It looks like the new talking point is that the GOP are hypocrites and have to business being critical of the bill.

Note that the argument is not that they are wrong it is now all about the spending of the last 8 years. Lets ignore the fact that the Fannie Mae mess is a wholly owned subsidy of the Democratic party.

Lets ignore the money for Acorn

A multi-million dollar liberal non-profit activist conglomerate reportedly under federal investigation may get a big piece of the economic recovery stimulus pie now under consideration by Congress.

It’s the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now – the infamous ACORN.

That’s right. ACORN, the activist group that has been implicated in voter fraud and registration deception in at least 14 states may get the financial bailout it needs to pull off another round of schemes in the next election season.

Or that the Tarp money has gone God knows where:

“What remains almost entirely opaque, however, is what has been done with the TARP money,” Barofsky says in January letter to Sen. Christopher Dodd, D-Conn., chairman of the Senate Banking Committee. “If the American taxpayer is to be expected to fund this extraordinary effort to stabilize the financial system, it is not unreasonable that the public and its representatives in Congress have some understanding as to how those funds have been used by the recipients.”

Ignore all of this; Lets just remember that the GOP spent money poorly so this bill should pass. If we fall for this we deserve everything we get out of it.
