What's the latest on the Republican governors' promise to refuse stimulus money?
Q. There was a big to-do about Republican governors saying they would refuse federal stimulus money. What's the latest on that? Do you think it's a good idea? I live in Texas and oppose the stimulus, but since I'm paying for it whether I like it or not, I think our Republican governor, Rick Perry, should take it. Otherwise, the fed is taking my federal tax money and sending it into other states.

A. The problem with taking it is the strings attached to it. The federal government is not suppose to have that much input on how states govern.

A. Tried and convicted of anything criminal in a court of law but not impeached and/or removed from office? About a dozen have been convicted of crimes while in office and some have resigned but some have not. Blagojevich is the first governor to be impeached and removed from office. And he has only been accused of a crime as yet unspecified.

A. Because most of them have gotten appointments in Obama's administration, and the globalist banksters haven't filled the spots yet. They will soon, with Bushites, and Clintonites, all members of CFR. Until something is done about the illegal, unconstitutional Federal Reserve, globalists will continue to run the show, including the White House.

A. The whole system is way out of whack. The States that have squandered their fortunes (including my own) should not be bailed out. Why? Because the only thing that could change the bad behavior is to hit rock bottom. I say, let them go broke. It is the only way the corruption and waste will ever be addressed. Bailing them out with more cash when no reforms have been made will only guarantee more of the same misbehavior.

Should governors appoint interim Congressmen for those who are temporarily not fit for duty?
Q. Senators Ted Kennedy (D - MA) and Robert Boyd (D - WV) have both been out of any Congressional matters in the past few months. In my opinion, there should be interim appointments by their respective governors to vote on bills. We have a vice president to take care of presidential matters when he is not able to perform his duties, so why can't Congressmen have designated people vote for them? What do you think? By Congressmen I mean both Representatives AND Senators.

A. Just because a governor is Republican does not mean he is a conservative Republican. Arnold Schwarzenegger is a Republican, but yet he supports the entire liberal agenda. Name tags mean nothing in this day and age, unless your a liberal Democrat playing politics. Have you ever noticed even though Arnold Schwarzenegger is a liberal doing business just like liberals do, liberal Democrats continually throw him under the bus to attempt to distance themselves from him and his failure as a governor in California ? When the truth is, he's governing with policies that would make any liberal proud. God bless.

They need the money yet for some strange reason they don't want to accept it.

A. A resounding no ... They should be praised. Never does a Federal Dollar go to a State without strings attached. There will be many (unfunded) Federal Mandates put into the acceptance. Therefore leaving states to find money in the future (large tax increases) to fund what the Feds say they must do now. On the contrary...EVERY governor that accepts the funds should be impeached along with all of those that voted in favor of the stim-u-less bill. Some people will actually tell you that it's your tax money your getting back, which only makes sense if it were coming from a surplus not a deficit. Many people are allowing themselves to be bribed with their own money. How wise is that.
