Talk about living in denial ...

The fantasy:

What the wing-nuts are saying and doing:

Wing-nut group pledges to fight repugican senators who support stimulus

A whacked-out wing-nut political action committee is pledging to support primary challenges to any repugican senator who backs the economic stimulus package -- the latest public show of obstructionism and divisiveness from the lunatic fringe over the massive measure before Congress.

Three repugican senators voted for the $838 billion compromise version of the package that the Senate approved today.

"The American people don't want this trillion-dollar political payoff that will just line the pockets of non-governmental organizations who supported [President Barack] Obama in the election," said Scott Wheeler, the demented leader of The National Republican Trust PAC, a wing-nut organization that calls for less government spending and lower taxes and a return to the stone age socially as well as politically.

"Republican senators are on notice," he said. "If they support the stimulus package, we will make sure every voter in their state knows how they tried to further bankrupt voters in an already bad economy."

The reality:

Obama Has Upper Hand in Stimulus Fight

The American public gives President Obama a strong 67% approval rating for the way in which he is handling the government's efforts to pass an economic stimulus bill.
