(Wait...is this right? Montana Republicans won't pass the state budget until the stimulus bill is passed?
Why? - promoted by Jay Stevens)
Another day, another hypocritical vote by the extremist House Republicans. Today, among other empty rhetoric during the day; 48 House Republicans voted against HJ 12, carried by Cheryl Steenson (D-Kalispell), that urges Congress to pass the Recovery and Reinvestment Act to create jobs, jobs, and more jobs.
Never mind that Flathead unemployment level is approaching 10% and Rep. Dee Brown, Rep. Bill Beck, Rep. Jon Sonju, Rep. Mark Blasdel, Rep. Janna Taylor and Rep. Scott Reichner all voted against this resolution to put Montanans in the northwest back to work.
But remember the reason we cannot move the budget forward in Subcommittee is the House and Senate Republicans want to wait until the Recovery and Reinvestment Act passes Congress before they vote on any part of the budget. Say what?
Recap - 48 House Republicans vote against the Recovery and Reinvestment Act, yet won't vote on Montana's budget until it passes congress.
Yep, the Good Guv was right, they are smoking pine cones.
