Time that the citizens started voting for their Country and not for Political Party’s. Voting for Parties is what has gotten us into the position we are in.

Oh, really, and which party, pray tell, is the one that's standing firm AGAINST this pork fest? Hint, it AIN'T the Democrat Party. Just because we had three Senators, who we assumed couldn't be counted on anyway, who defected to the Democrats, it doesn't behoove us to toss the rest of the Republicans in the Senate to the wolves.

We should be praising ALL the Republicans in the House AND the Senate for doing the right thing. If we still b*tch and moan, even when they do something we think is right, it's no wonder they start discounting anything conservatives support. Give credit where credit is due, and encourage them to continue doing what's best for this nation.
