Right… another example of the President’s bigotry. Republicans are supposed to be the “conservative” party, yet during five-year war which has put our nation into it’s biggest deficit EVER, he’s doing his best to continue his long-standing tradition of nepotism.
$220 Million+ For A Bridge To An Island With 50 People?!?:
Plastic::Politics::Politics:Dubya: President Bush signed a monstrous US$286.4 billion transportation bill that’s leaving critics dumbfounded with the amount of wasteful pork projects.
My favorite quote is from John McCain, one of the few Republicans (and fellow USNA alumnus) I respect.
(Source) But Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., one of four senators who opposed the bill, said the estimated $24 billion lawmakers directed to special projects was “egregious.” He has cited dozens of what he calls “interesting” projects. His favorite: $2.3 million for landscaping along the Ronald Reagan Freeway in California.
“I wonder what Ronald Reagan would say?” McCain asked about the fiscally conservative president.
No wonder his OWN PARTY smeared him during his own bid for the presidency — he calls it like it is. Wish there were more of him.
