Remember how the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee called Aaron Schock a hypocrite (back on June 25) for voting against a spending bill, but having an event to announce some local spending that was on the bill?
Well, Schock responded in Monday’s Word on the Street:
Schock points out that opposition to Democratic “over-spending” does not preclude him from advocating for his district. He says the DCCC is suggesting that if you don’t go along with its over-spending plans, your district shouldn’t get its fair share.
“For (the DCCC) to suggest that I should have to vote for something because there’s money in it for my district is akin to them thinking I should be bought off,” Schock said. “They’re encouraging unethical behavior by members of Congress.”
And I found WotS to be especially interesting today. Go read it.,

What a stupid line of attack from the Dems. Next they’ll send out a press release accusing members from Illinois who support concealed carry of being hypocrites because they don’t illegally cc. “If they really believed their position…”
Besides it wasn’t the money going to Peoria and Schock’s district that was “over-spending”, it was the money going to some other guys district far away from Peoria that was wasteful. Amirite?
