i want to know where the hell

all of these people (as in the republican governors mentioned in this story) were when king george was shoving OUR MONEY down the throats (and directly into the pockets of) the leaders of pakistan? where were they when king george was tossing our money into that burning inferno that is known as iraq? where were they when some of the banks and mortgage company's lending practices started to stink? huh? where the fuck were they then? did they say anything THEN?

i'll bet they may put up one hell of a giant stink because a democrat is in the white house now and they need to play like 7 year olds. i'll also bet THEY'LL TAKE THE MONEY

so stfu you bunch of sniveling idiots (and i'm NOT in any way shape or form saying democrats are innocent)
