Republicans Lost-Problem Remains
by Tina Grazier
They’re at it again! Lawmakers are adding billions in pork to the presidents Iraq funding measure and, I imagine, counting themselves as clever for having done so. Note to Congress…the American people are sick of pandering, power plays…and Pork! Read the article Democrats to Load Iraq Bill With Add-Ons by Andrew Taylor to discover the many things your hard earned tax dollars will buy…while the troops, standing in harms way, wait for funding.
(AP) While Democrats try to restrict how President Bush can spend the $100 billion he wants for Iraq, they also hope to load his measure up with $10 billion in add-ons _ from aid for avocado growers to help for children lacking health insurance.
Oink, Oink, OINK!!
Apparently some folks who make it to higher office are just too blind…or stupid…to realize how ridiculous they look from out here. At least one has his head on straight:
House Minority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio: "Our focus must be on supporting our troops in harm's way _ without strings attached _ not on using a military spending bill as an excuse to fund pork-barrel projects and other unrelated projects."
Well, DUH!

I guess they didn't lose bad enough last election. Maybe it will take losing the presidency. I hope not, but the GOP seems determined to self destruct faster than Palestinian wearing a suicide vest.
