I am with you. I was so disgusted in 2000 that the Dems robbed Bush of his winning celebration. Again, this past year he was robbed by the media and Kerry when they refused to call Ohio and Kerry delayed his concession speech. I say spend what it takes. The grander the better and screw the Dems. If the cost of inauguration should be reduced or traditions changed it should be decided in advance of the election. Seems to me money becomes a factor only when the Republicans are doing the spending. MoveOn could spend all they wanted to but 527's were bad! Pardon Me?
Today on Cavuto, he had one of the NYC idiots "Weiner", and he was there whining about the $40 million the repubs were going to spend on the inaugural.
I sent Cavuto a msg and said, "if the inaugural was for John Kerry - would we be having this conversation ..?? I don't think so!!
