RINOs are Patriotic

Apparently abandoning your party's principles to vote for gigantic expansion of government is "patriotic":

...Mr. Obama called Ms. Collins and Mr. Specter, as well as Senator Olympia J. Snowe of Maine, another Republican expected to support the deal, to acknowledge they were acting against pressure from their party and, one official said, to thank them for their patriotism in helping advance the bill at a critical time.

Of course, by inference any Republican (or for that matter Democrat) who votes against the Porkulus Bill is unpatriotic.

Patriotism = Massive government spending on projects that won't won't stimulate the economy and that will saddle future generations with massive debt.
