The fact that a few conservatives have noticed the hypocrisy of the GOP's elected officials is a good thing. Hopefully the rest of the movement will pull their head out of the sand and see what is happening.
I understand you believe the government stimulating the economy during a severe economic crisis is a bad idea, but you are not in good intellectual company. Economists across the political spectrum have long understood that the government needs to be the buyer of last resort during a time when consumer spending tanks. It's in good times when the economy is expanding that the government should not spend more, and focus on deficit reduction.
The GOP clearly understands the importance of the stimulus as they have been caught boasting its benefits to their constituents. This makes their NO votes on this so much more wrong.
Btw, the WT article WAS before the Rachel Maddow bit. Had you watched the video or read the transcription I posted you would have known that. Instead, you did neither. Is news like this somehow proprietary to whoever points it out first?
