Particularly wrt budget cuts & "smaller govt".

Now that Repub governors have it, they don't like it. And if Obama gives it back, they'll just go right on spouting the same line from the RNC-

Whatever goes wrong, it's all Obama's fault. Everything.

Hate-um Obama! Hate-um!

Only problem with your statement about "careful what you wish for" is that Governor Scott never asked for sequester, in fact he opposed it. And said it on several ocassions including before sequestration went into effect.

OP you're an idiot. Sequester only cuts the rate of growth in spending and wasn't actual spending cuts. We need to cut spending and get smaller government.

Just like the majority of your posts consist of tea bag circle jerks and insults? Gotta love it when the pot starts bitching about the kettle.

What are you talking about? I defend the Constitution in my posts.

Seems like you were tea-bagged?

The OP needs to read the Constitution and understand what freedom is about. Clearly he is far too stupid for this.

Heh, There's Jindal, who was for it before he was against it-

Bryant isn't much better, and gulf state congress critters are doing their best to have it both ways-

Scott started whining early, because Florida is a slut for defense spending? Color me surprised. He's still flying the "smaller gubmint" banner, just so long as it's somebody else's smaller gubmint... not Florida's defense pork.

I still don't see your point. So what if a couple of GOP governors are against particular aspects of the sequester? They didn't vote on it and the interests of states can differ than federal interests. And if you don't trust a Republican governor, you can listen to former Democratic Governor Howard Dean who also supports the sequester.

You know what the honest truth is? I don't give a flying rat's ass what Republican governors thinks about the sequester. I like it and that is good enough for me. I don't look to Republican governor opinion polls to feel good.

I am sure there are republicans who regret it now. But hot damn is the OP getting owned in this thread.
