What good is being the majority party if it means you have to spend like a bunch of socialists to do it?
I think the first problem is that our Congressmen are politicians, first and Republicans, second. If we want more resposible Republicans in Congress, then WE have to be more active during the nomination process.
I agree that there was no need for our Congress to "pork up" the Highway Bill as if they were all Democrats.
However, once that bill was on his desk, it WAS necessary that President Bush sign it.
