I don't understand this, when has any election turned on the national endowment for the arts?? Have you EVER seen a campaign comercial on this issue?

It is like Bush's brilliant plan to get more votes by proposing an amnesty that 80% of Americans oppose.

This is not pandering, it is either pure stupidy or Bush really does believe in a big-fat-bloated government.

If this report is true; and thats a big if...

Well I've got ask the burning question... When are our Republican representatives going to start representing the folks whom elected them? Omnibus spending bills loaded and larded with pork barrel craziness ain't gonna cut it.

Neither are hare-brained immigration and prescription drug schemes...

Big budget increases for the National Endowment for the (F)Arts? Give me a F'ng Break!

The folks we elected need to come to terms with these facts:

No matter how much you pander to the Dumbocratic constituency it won't ever, ever, never in a million years be enough to keep you in power, or ever in a million years get their vote...

Pandering quite simply gets us no where... This, if true, is disgusting... When are our elected Republicans going to start acting like Republicans? They look more like a bunch of drunken sots on shore leave in Manila...

This is absoultely insane... The RNC gets zippo from the kid this election cycle...
