Sins of The Children-Brown Backs New Government Bailout While Romney and Palin Endorse McCain

Reuters reports that, in a statement defending his vote for a new government stimulus package that creates more government stimulus–cloaked under the benevolent title of the ‘jobs bill’–in the form of “subsidies for state and local construction bonds and $19.5 billion to shore up a highway-construction fund”, Senator Scott Brown explained “I hope my vote today is a strong step toward restoring bipartisanship in Washington”.  Adding insult to injury, The Associated Press reports that Mitt Romney and Sarah Palin have both thrown their support behind Senator John McCain–seen by many as the quintessential socialist republican–in his quest for re-election.  Such actions demonstrate a preference for people over principles.  If we are ever to overcome our socialist past and present, and truly evolve into a free-thinking, industrious future, we must refuse to accept programs or candidates that contravene our ideals.  A vote against the ‘jobs bill’ or McCain’s candidacy is not, contrary to popular belief, a show of closed-minded partisanship, rather, it is a demonstration of true political mettle.
