I'm saying report the truth. The bridge was being talked about for a long time. It didn't come out of Harry Reid's imagination.

Then pay for it yourself.

I'm saying report the truth. The bridge was being talked about for a long time. It didn't come out of Harry Reid's imagination.

Reid also stands to directly benefit financially from the bridge, since he owns land on the other side. The Dems had no problem saying that Denny Hastert was going to benefit from Illinois Highway dollars. So this is just a dose of their own medicine.

As others have said, if the bridge is that vital, states can come up with the funding.
