Let The Bribes Begin!

Politics in Washington DC long ago devolved a game of those who vote for candidates get rewarded with lots of unconstitutional money dispersed from the federal treasury. So it should come as no surprise what so ever that according to a USA TODAY study of where the federal "stimulus" money spent so far shows that Obamatons are getting most of the money and most of the money by a long shot. Although much of the monopoly money our government has promised to the peons beyond their constitutional authority to do so will not be spent until later this year and next year (just in time of federal elections), Obama voters are getting nearly twice as much!
The reports show the 872 counties that supported Obama received about $69 per person, on average. The 2,234 that supported McCain received about $34.
But this cannot possibly be the result of funny business. Oh no … perish the thought!
Investigators who track the stimulus are skeptical that political considerations could be at work. The imbalance is so pronounced — and the aid so far from complete — that it would be almost inconceivable for it to be the result of political tinkering, says Adam Hughes, the director of federal fiscal policy for the non-profit OMB Watch. "Even if they wanted to, I don't think the administration has enough people in place yet to actually do that," he says.
"Most of what they're doing at this point is just stamping the checks and sending them out," Hughes says.
So are we supposed to believe that this is all just some big misunderstanding? We are seriously to believe that a corrupt organization like our Congress and the White House more recently elected would never, ever, ever play politics with tax payer money? Mr. Hughes I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you. No, really! Cheap too! Just $4 million. I've got the deed right here … never mind that it is written in crayon … you can trust me …
The actual facts are that left leaning counties have collected much more money in recent year and since Democrats took control of Congress and this article even points that out:
The imbalance didn't start with the stimulus. From 2005 through 2007, the counties that later voted for Obama collected about 50% more government aid than those that supported McCain, according to spending reports from the U.S. Census Bureau. USA TODAY's review did not include Alaska, which does not report its election results by county.
But it is all just some big misunderstanding right? It could NEVER be some sort of vote buying scam could it? No … perish the thought!
