If the stimulus proved one thing, it’s that Republicans can’t really walk the walk on fiscal conservatism: they’ll vote against increased government spending, and promptly pocket the cash (e.g., Phil Gingrey, R-GA).

Over the past nine months, House Republicans have worn their Party of No badge with pride, opposing every spending bill to come down the pike and littering the airways to moan about America's descent into socialism.
