Every single Republican in the House and the overwhelming majority of Republican in the Senate — with the exception of Sens. Olympia Snowe (R-ME), Susan Collins (R-ME), and then-Republican Sen. Arlen Specter — voted against the Recovery Act. The law passed in 2009, at a time when the economy was hemorrhaging 700,000 jobs per month and has since saved or created 2.5 million jobs.

Publicly, the GOP claims that the policy has “failed” and “made things worse,” but privately even Republicans have tried to take credit for some of its success.

That represents a shift in what church leaders had maintained was a purely secular matter.

According to church members in attendance, Randall then delivered what he said was an “invitation” to the congregation to “sustain” the leaders in their decision.

Anybody want to guess the odds that the church will send “invitations” to Romney should he win the election?
