It was just awful. I’ll bet the House reprimanded him severely.
But just for the record, MENSA, it is the DOD that pressures Congress to fund things, not the other way around. The Congress’ job is to equip the military. What it legislates, the DOD buys. And that old Hunter was just awful. He wouldn’t let Clinton’s DOD kill Star Wars. The nerve of that man.
So you proudly supported someone for president in 2008 that took kickbacks from an aerospace outfit, DuPont Aerospace, and used influence (along with Duke Cunningham) while he sat on the House Armed Services Committee to pressure the Department of Defense to continue funding a failed VTOL aircraft. Apparently your chosen candidates don't need to be as perfect as you demand of Sarah Palin.
