Republicans have found their principles again...for now

Rush and the Republicans Are Right
Lew Rockwell.com Blog - Laurence Vance - February 15, 2009

I never thought I would say it but Rush and the Republicans are right--in their opposition to the stimulus bill. Recently, and for the first time in about two years, I heard Rush Limbaugh on the radio. He was denouncing Obama and the Democrats for the stimulus bill. All of the Republicans in the House voted against the bill and all but three Republicans in the Seante (Specter, Collins, & Snowe) voted against the bill.

So, am I ready to applaud Rush and the Republicans? Hardly. Many Republicans voted for the bailout bill last year when we had a Republican president who supported it. Is there any doubt that if McCain had won the election that he would have his own stimulus bill right now and that many Republicans would be voting for it?

And as for Rush Limbaugh, he may have opposed the stimulus bill and the bailout bill, but he had no trouble supporting the spending of $1 trillion on the war in Iraq.
