Politics for Misfits
Tim Pawlenty, Blowhard
Another right-wing Republican Governor whose mouth is bigger than his courage of conviction:
Check it out:
During a conference call hosted by the Republican Governor's Association Thursday night, a caller asked whether states could invoke the 10th Amendment to the Constitution to stop President Obama's health care reform plan.
Pawlenty's reply:
"Depending on what the federal government comes out with here, asserting the 10th Amendment may be a viable option..."

Yeah, sure.
Just like the stimulus program when so many Republican blowhard governors kept saying their state would refuse stimulus money.
Research:
BATON ROUGE, La. -- A handful of Republican governors are considering turning down some money from the federal stimulus package.
Though none has outright rejected the money available for education, health care and infrastructure, the governors of Texas, Mississippi, Louisiana, Alaska, South Carolina and Idaho have all questioned whether the $787 billion bill signed into law this week will even help the economy.

How many of these states refused any stimulus money?
None.
Not one.
Think it's a "LIE"?
Every state has received stimulus money so far. A few notables...
Texas....................$ 3.7 million (Perry)
Mississippi..........$ 566,000 (Barbour)
Louisiana.............$ 705,000 (Jindal)
Alaska...................$ 180,000 (Palin - at the time)
South Carolina....$ 831,000 (Sanford)
Idaho.....................$ 300,000 (Otter)
and,
Minnesota.............$ 1.5 million (Pawlenty)
In fact each of these states will receive much more money from the stimulus program. About 20-30 % of the stimulus money has been released so far.
