The House of Representatives may vote on their budget reconciliation spending cuts package as early as Thursday. The package finds $50 billion in savings ($15 billion more than the Senate), but the outcome of the vote is uncertain.

The vote on the fiscally responsible savings bill has been pushed back now multiple times in order to better ascertain support for the measure. But as of today, there are still some Republicans whose position on cutting spending is unknown.

Chris Smith represents Jersey City, an area that would normally be quite Demoratic. He is excellent on the social issues, and on protecting the military. He is voting as he has promised to vote. Nobody who could get elected to that seat is going to be a tightwad with tax money, I'm afraid. Chris Smith may noty win any awards for thriftiness, but he has a boatlaod of integrity and principle.

Nancy Johnson, on the other hand, is a complete RINO and embarrassment to the Republican Party. I would rather have a Dem in there. It doesn't help that her husband has performed abortions, a procedure that she wants performed and paid for by us at every opportunity.

No surprise my Congressman, the RINO poster boy, is on this list. I just fired off an email to him.

If the day comes that the Iowa Dems get a brain and decide to run someone to the right of Castro against him, he'll lose. Conservatives like me will notice litte if any difference in how we're (not) represented in the House.

It doesn't surprise me that New Jersey's delegation is well represented. But given that New Jersey get's back somewhere between 63 and 67 cents back for every dollar it sends to Washington, I can understand why they want to keep whatever pork they have but I can't understand why they wouldn't want to cut everyone else's pork.

Bob Inglis is the only one from a Red State...South Carolina.

What's his deal?

And, New Hampshire folks are usually fiscally conservative...what' their excuse?

Notice these losers can't deliver their states to the Republican candidates in elections for president or governor. They need to be replaced by real Republicans.

I cannot understand why any reasonable person -- even on the left -- would oppose drilling in ANWR. It's not like we're drilling on Oahu or Lake Michigan or even off the coast of California or Florida. That I can understand. But ANWR is in the tundra equivalent of the desert. Nobody goes there except on trips to see what all the fuss is about. The animals love the pipeline, there is NO downside. The only people who I think might be opposed to it would represent Alaska. And the Alaskans want it more than anybody else. So what's the problem?

I really hate environmentalists, though. Nature fetishists know nothing about it. As my namesake says, I know that nature is smelly, rotten and generally unpleasant.
