Liberalism: Why think when you can “feel”?

Republican Congressman: It’s Congress’ money, not taxpayers’ money

As one can see, “spread the wealth around” redistributionism is a sentiment that isn’t exclusive to Democrats.  Corrupt Republicans can feel the same way.  From Michelle Malkin:

Behold the hubris of an entrenched Republican congressman shilling for the auto bailout. His name is Rep. Joe Knollenberg (R-Michigan) and you’ll be happy to know that he lost his re-election bid.

Attention, Republicans obsessed with “re-branding” the party and crafting appealing messages to win back voters. Here’s your textbook example of how not to act and what not to say if you want to restore credibility to conservatism.

If there’s any silver lining, this guy just lost his re-election bid, so he can take his perverted economic theories back home.

The dude is from Michigan and supports a bailout of the auto industry.  OK, fine…he’s just serving his constituents.  But the breath-taking gall of this man to say that the money I earn isn’t really mine is simply stunning.  I guess I’m not stunned that he feels this way, but that he’s actually publicly admitting it.

  1. you’ll be happy to know that he lost his re-election bid.

    Happy indeed! We need to get rid of all of them and start over!

    I watched some of the hearings yesterday. It was pretty galling to watch Barnie Frank and Maxine Waters grilling Paulson and Bernanke about the bailout when their own hands are stained with the filth that caused the problem in the first place. The hypocrisy is beyond disgusting.

  2. Wanna watch something that’ll raise your blood pressure, watch today’s hearings with the automotive industry. I swear it’s causing stress fissures to appear in my skull.
