Tell Cantor to call WHINE-ONE-ONE

http://marcambinder.theatlantic.com/archives/2009/01/more_republican_triangulating.php

House Republicans are reacting strongly to reports that the White House plans a political onslaught to pressure Republicans into supporting the stimulus package and to punish those who don't.

House Republican Whip Eric Cantor (R-VA) will soon issue a statement contending that Obama's promise to "put an end to petty politics" is "threatened" as the White House and their allies "are making political threats rather than crafting a bipartisan economic stimulus plan."

He'll call on Obama to "immediately disavow" plans by liberal interest groups who have announced their intention to run attack ads against the Republicans. These groups, organized under the Americans United for Change umbrella, coordinate regularly with Congressional Democrats and are in touch with White House officials.

Earlier, an Obama aide said that the White House was not directly involved in these most recent efforts and had not encouraged its allies. The plans were reported in the Politico by its chief political reporter, Mike Allen.

"Let us be clear: attack ads will not create jobs or help struggling families but will only serve to undermine our nation's desire for bipartisanship. Instead of thinking about winning at any cost, we should all be thinking about creating the jobs Americans need," Cantor intends to say.

call WHINE-one-one for the WHAAAAAAAAAAAmbulance

1. Cantor is on my "most annoying" list right with Darrell Issa and
Bilbray. All of them are working hard to position themselves as leaders in the Republican party, imo. I'll bet the 2012 Pres. primary has all three of them in it.

8. All these republicans want to take credit for the bridges, schools, and hospitals that open.
They don't want people to know they voted against it. They want the photo op.

9. THEY ran the ads first
http://cato.org/special/stimulus09/cato_stimulus.pdf

NO MORE PROJECTING, republicans.

See that ad above by the Cato institute? It has a date and you guys need to grow up.


"The Cato Institute has taken out a full page ad against it, signed by dozens of respected economists. The conservative campaign to "melt the phone lines" has had the phones busy at the congressional switchboard all day. " - David Freddoso at NRO

10. By running the ads, these groups are supporting the economy.
How can the Republics be against anyone spending and supporting the economy?
