My God, these people are shameless.

In a just world they’d be dragged out of office and horsewhipped. Hopefully the good citizens of this country will finally get fed up with these thieves and get rid of them.

I won’t hold my breath though.

“…the funding decisions are being made on political muscle rather than project merit.”

Seems to me there are so many 98 pound weaklings running our country (in spite of the actual weights of Kennedy, Franks and others) that it’s almost hopeless to find a real man who’ll stand up to this thievery and nonsense. It’s for certain the wimp in the White House ain’t gonna do it, any more than the previous girlie-man from Texas.

Seems like some of our congresscritters might have been eating this.

Well, like the lady said before losing her head, “Let them eat cake!”

Remember, a little revolution now and then is not necessarily a bad thing.

The quote could form the nucleus of a great advertising campaign by Rep. McGovern’s opponent in 2010. Then again, I suspect that running as a Republican in Worcester might be closer to auditioning for the title role in Man of La Mancha than a serious challenge for elected office.

Either the tide needs to turn soon or America will look like Noah’s flood plain – after 40 days and nights of rain.

This from the A.P. this morning (3/2):

“Some in New Hampshire wish no one had thought of it. Richard Hesse, professor emeritus of constitutional law at the Franklin Pierce Law Center in Concord, said Itse’s resolution could strip authority from state leaders, as well as from Congress and the president.

“When you think about this claim that if a state believes a federal law is unconstitutional it can just ignore it, then I presume if a county believed a state law was unconstitutional it could just ignore it,” Hesse said. “Really what’s implicit in this is an unwillingness to recognize a lawful authority.” ”

They’re talking about resolutions in many state legislatures reclaiming the Tenth Amendment. What’s most interesting is the typical straw man liberal argument. If the argument were valid I’m sure the Founding Fathers would have discussed it and modified the amendment before passing it as part of the Bill of Rights in the adopted Constitution of the United States. These are resolutions reclaiming the amendment to the federal constitution, not state constitutions!
