When has spending ever been a Leftist concern?

Every dollar spent defeating terrorism is one less that Byrd can grab to build another four-lane highway to nowhere in West Virginia.

Particularly this Senator. After Iraq comes West Virginia.

Just kidding.

Byrd claims to be a classical scholar, but his recent antiwar rants belie that fact.

If he had studied the ancient wars he would surely know that wars are self funding for the winners. That is especially true of war with a treasure laden state like Iraq. "Spoils of War" is not just a catch phrase.

The truth is that Byrd is not a classical scholar....he is a tired old man who can't get LBJ and Vietnam off his mind.

Freedom isn't free, Senator KKK.

Next objection?

[hosepipe]

I would say Sen. Byrd could easily pay for this out of the
Marijuana proceeds of his states(off the budget) next crop.

No, most dishonorable grand dragon, it was your guy that kept taking his clothes off...
