I don't care what the increase is. It's the principle of the thing

For the sake of conversation, what principle is it this time? Bush is the Anti christ so we'll all run to the Constitution Party , a group that happily takes your money, sort of like the Libertarian PArty and your neighborhood casino, and gives you naught to show for any of it. You are smart enough to understand Sun Tzu with a nice mix of Machieavelli . Besides, A little bit of seed money for a National monument is hardly the end of civilisation. Want the end of that? Go stand on "principle" like some did 12 and 8 years back. That was sure a roaring success wasn't it?

We balanced the budget with Clinton and a GOP Congress. We'll do it with Kerry and a GOP Congress too.
