Republican Rep Slams Government Spending With Tax Payer Funded Mailer

Most times Republicans make it way too easy. There's really no thought that has to go into making this look stupid. With nearly every issue the GOP claims to stand for-- moral values, fiscal responsibility, tough guyism, it's all the same-- there's nothing in their past, present or future to suggest they ever live up to their self proclaimed principles.

Oklahoma Congresswoman, Mary Fallin, sends out tax payer funded mailer to bash government spending.  Makes a lot of sense doesn't it?  To Republicans it does.  The Oklahoma Citizen picks up the story:
First thing's first - this whole thing, this card, the printing, the design, the mailing was all paid for by you and me. Our tax dollars that Fallin wants to cut paid for this mailing. The MASSIVE government spending that Fallin says we must end - was just used to mail out God only knows how many of these things to Oklahomans.
Is that the kind of fiscal responsibility that Mary Fallin represents? Cut spending except for her spending, cut taxes except for the taxes that pay for her stuff, and outline policies for "prosperity" that can only be done from a Federal office that she is vacating.
As with all things Tea Bagger or Republican, they are not against government spending.  They are only against government spending money on items that don't go directly to them.  On matters as convenient as her largest campaign donor receiving millions of dollars from the government she fully supports.  But here's how this one will go.  Fallin will get portrayed by the very liberal media as a staunch small government conservative only trying to do her part in reining in the government.  Mark my word, that's exactly how her charade will continue.
