Republicans who opposed the stimulus package, and how we address those who accept the funds.
I can't believe they didn't anticipate this, but for all of those congresspeople and senators who voted against President Obama's stimulus package, but are pleased to accept the help, what can we do to really get some political mileage out of this?

This is beyond hypocrisy. And I know there has to be some way we can really humiliate these politicians.

Ideas?

Thanks.

2. Groups with money
Need to target them on TV commercials like the republicans have been doing with the stimulus bill. Even though the bill has been signed, the republicans are still running ads and bringing Jesus into the picture. Any group with the know how, and money, can do the same thing with those who voted NO, but are now taking the money. Those republican governors who say they will only take some of the money, but not the money for social programs should also be targeted in ads. Any elected official who refused to help the unemployed, or refuses to help those who have lost their medical insurance and need assistance, should be targeted by the people of that state for recall on the grounds that they are hurting the people of that state for political gain!

Well that's just a couple of ideas, but it could really get some mileage in my opinion.
