Democrats mark the anniversary of the stimulus with GOP 'hypocrites' video

By Michael O'Brien - 02/17/10 05:00 AM ET
Democrats wished Republicans a "happy anniversary" of sorts with a Web video marking the stimulus act's first year in law.

In their latest salvo against Republicans who voted against the $787 billion American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), the Democratic National Committee (DNC) called 93 Republicans "hypocrites" for having promoted benefits from the bill in their districts.

"Republicans don't want to acknowledge that the recovery act has created jobs — many of them in their own districts," the ad says. "Except when they're asking for funding to create those very jobs."

The DNC and other Democrats have sought to portray many in the GOP as having voted against the stimulus, only to have turned around and boasted of the bill's projects. The effort marks the one-year anniversary of President Barack Obama signing the spending bill into law.

The DNC claimed in a conference call on Tuesday that as many as 93 Republican lawmakers had claimed benefits for the stimulus in their states or districts after having voted against the package.

1. I'd like a list of the 93 hypocrites and the stimulus projects they are touting.

That would be a great tool in LTTEs etc.
