Democrats, who supposedly oppose the war in Iraq with such vigor, are having absolutely no problem loading up an emergency funding bill with their pet pork projects. How much is being thrown down the proverbial pork barrel? Try $10 billion dollars. That's right...billion...with a 'B.' Let's look at just a few of the examples, shall we?
mong the war spending: $3.7 billion in farm subsidies. How this benefits our fighting men and women in Iraq, who knows. Another $2.9 billion is thrown in for good measure, this time for Gulf Coast rebuilding...you know, Katrina and all. Topping off the list is $2.4 billion for things like money for school districts, health insurance for the poor and such. But what's even more comical is that Democrats are defending it.

Typical tax and spend.
The next time the projections on how long it will take to cut the deficit come out and they are longer because of their spending I am sure they will just blame Bush. Anyone who thinks Democrats are capable of fiscal responsibility is a fool.

each and every person replace into under partisanship under those circumstances. the two events had moderates, so we rather agreed with one yet another maximum of time. additionally, the country had to react to the phobia assaults, yet Bush threw us right into a Iraq conflict which replace right into a waste of our money. Ever questioned why Bush greater Medicare? He have been given some help from the Democrats, yet immediately's Republicans may be so against that.

so, are you saying that rebuilding the Gulf Coast, where tens of thousands of people were displaced and taken advantage of, and putting money up for education, books, & healthcare for poor kids is a waste of funds? Are you comparing that to building a museum of yarn on the tax payers dollar? Are you even serious?
I would like to think you are joking.

Pretty Damn sad when it is the only way you can get money that actually benefits the American people
This President has been wasting it on a war he justified with lies, while the American infrastructure goes to hell in a hand basket.
One thing about those tax and spend democrats
the money is spent where it benefits the American People
NOT where it lines the pockets of those that make millions off of death and WAR

Not to defend Democrats, but any defense appropriation bill is a big bullseye for anybody with a pet pork project.

I hope I get points for recognizing that you are being entirely sarcastic.
If I'm wrong....oh boy, you have some strange priorities.
