>> GOP governors press Congress to pass stimulus bill

Why, hell yes!

Free money!

WTF do you expect?

Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, a former member of the House, said he would accept the stimulus money but would have voted against the bill if he were still in Congress. Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour, a former chairman of the Republican National Committee, said he wasn't sure whether he would accept the approximately $3 billion his state would be in line for.

Jindal is one of the most consistently honest politicians out there. This is not different from his response about Katrina money, as well.

It is unfortunate, but Senators and Congressmen have a duty to those the represent that sometimes conflicts with that of the nation as a whole.

It would be nice if they could see their way to clear to represent the national interest first. Unfortunately, one can't be elected by doing that -- particularly, in Lousiana, home of Huey "Every Man a King" Long.

It would be great if every state could vote on every congressperson except its own. It would solve a lot of problems.
