Senate Race

It's hard to set the standard on Republican hypocrisy, but Texas Republican Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison has come close.

Hutchison railed against the "pork" in the stimulus package, and then immediately took credit for that same pork when it came to Texas.  

Hutchison stood on the floor of the Senate and spoke out against the 2009 Omnibus Appropriations Bill. She advertised her opposition in a press release that bemoaned the long-term consequences of America’s irresponsible spending and soaring debt obligations.

Then, she dutifully voted against it.

The Good Book, in the chapter of Joel, God says that just before Armageddon comes, “And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions.”
