"My point was that PORK is PORK from either side of the aisle, and it ALL must be stopped."

I concur with this. The problem is, when it comes to feeding at the taxpayer trough, Republicans are equally as greedy as Democrats. After all it was a Republican congress that last year snuck through a 'automatic' payraise for every congressman - when every other American was getting laid off, reduced, or downsized. And it was a Republican (Bush) who added billions to the black hole of waste we call the Dept of Education. It is a pathetic situation.

It is pathetic, and George Bush is a dirty lying politician. I see him as no better than Clinton. He simply lied to his conservative base, and now that he is in, he has abandoned them after expecting them to be satified by a miniscule tax cut.

America is going to hell, and the brakes are gone. Hello Socialist paradise!
