GOP isn't always fiscally conservative

It is truly hypocritical of Republicans who criticized and voted against the bridge funds for the auto industry claiming the union workers were overpaid, yet they want to allow executives of faltering financial institutions that receive government assistance to be compensated over $500,000 per year.

When they were voting for billions of dollars to finance an unnecessary war in Iraq, putting this county further and further into debt, where was their fiscal responsibility? They should all read President Eisenhower's farewell speech about the political, military, industrial complex. I believe most of them have, but this is not the Republican party of Teddy Roosevelt, or Dwight Eisenhower. They are the tools of Rush Limbaugh.
