With all due respect. Yes it is

House GOP says it isn't hypocrisy to ask for "stimulus" money even thought they voted against it. Well I totally disagree. The House GOP should be doing everything they can to try and reverse the so called stimulus and not waste the tax payers money. Which only hurts the economy more.

Amid mounting criticism, House Republicans said this week it is not hypocritical to vote against the stimulus and later seek money from it for their districts.

After standing united in opposition to the president’s economic stimulus bill a little more than a year ago, many Republicans have touted the benefits of that measure back in their districts, according to a comprehensive list compiled by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC).
Citing the stimulus and other measures, the DCCC claims that 91 House Republicans are talking out of both sides of their mouths.

In recent days, former Sen. Alan Simpson (R-Wyo.) and California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (R) have echoed the DCCC claims.

But key House Republicans argue that a vote against the stimulus bill should not prevent them from writing a letter on behalf of constituents seeking grants available from the $787 billion measure. Some of them do say, however, that Republicans should refrain from attending photo-ops.

This was one of the reasons, us on the right, were so angered by Scott Brown's vote earlier in the week. The Republican Party is supposed to be the fiscally responsible ones. The minute we start taking the stimulus money for pet projects that puts our fingers on it. Makes the Republicans just as responsible for ruining our economy.
