Neither am I, but many of the FReepers who are treating Duncan Hunter as the Second Coming are the same ones who are saying that the present Congress is utterly unacceptable because of its spending habits--and Duncan Hunter has played that game as much as it can be played, because he's willing to trade somebody else's pork-barrel waste for matters near and dear to his heart.
The disconnect, to put it mildly, is breath-taking.
The problem is with the failure to control total spending on less than necessary projects, not with an individual taking part in the legislative process.
