South Carolina - new common sense, same rhetoric

South Carolina's Republican Governor Mark Sanford used to proudly proclaim that he would turn down all federal economic stimulus money. While this would directly harm the citizens of South Carolina, that approach was in line with the Republican Party goals of causing failure whenever President Obama tried to lift the country out of the severe economic downturn that he inherited.

Well, the esteemed Governor has seen the light, and has quietly changed his mind. He will now allow South Carolina to receive the same federal economic stimulus that other states are receiving, benefiting the people of South Carolina. The one catch? In public, he will still insult the very stimulus that he's now receiving.
