Democrat Congress Thieves Porked America in 2007

We should put jail-bars on all the Capitol Building windows so the Democrat-majority Congress can feel right at home while they steal our hard earned money and fleece America of hundreds of millions of dollars every year! Better yet, let's vote these hoods out of office and into real jails! (Don't feel too sorry for them. They have also voted themselves the costliest health care AND retirement packages in the world -- compliments of our wallets.)

Again, ONLY Fox News ("fair, balanced, and unafraid") reports on these thieves (edited for brevity):

"The Citizens Against Government Waste had there annual nominations for 'Porker Of The Year' and this goes to members of Congress with the most irresponsible spending habits."

Q: "One of them is Representative James Clyburn, Democrat of South Carolina [38 pork projects worth $62,000,000 a year]."

A: "Now this is a simple one. $3,000,000 for the first 'tee program' to teach the children in the military how to play golf. How is that protecting national security?"

Q: "The next is Senator Blanche Lincoln, Democrat of Arkansas, 96 pork projects worth nearly $2,000,000 [a year]."

A: "Well, she blocked some very good reforms for the farm bill last December and stopped it from saving us money. So we have a massive, over-bloated farm bill in part because of what she did."

Q: "All right, you say well known [Democrat] Representative John Murtha is a well known porker [72 pork projects worth nearly $150,000,000 a year]."

A: "Well, what hasn't he done? He's put in money for a company, that gets money from the Pentagon, that does basically nothing and produces nothing for the Pentagon, and he had a 'fit' on the floor of the House of Representatives and screamed at one of his colleagues last year and said at one point 'why are you attacking my pork, you won't get anything from me ever again'."

Q: "Representative James Oberstar, Democrat of Minnesota, 32 pork projects worth nearly $90,000,000 a year."

A: "It's not just what he wasted it on, it's what he tried to do. He wanted to impose a five cent gas tax to put together a $25 billion 'bridge trust fund' just to repair bridges. They put $25 billion in pork in that highway bill a couple of years ago, so they had plenty of money to repair the bridges."

A: "Interestingly, the last one on the list, Don Young of Alaska went on the floor of the House last year and said 'You're trying to take my money!' He actually called it 'my money', so, no, they don't understand that it's the taxpayers money."

If Republicans campaigned to slash the Pentagon's bloated, farcical budget, they might have some credibility.

But the Repubs want to give the Pentagon even more taxpayers money to waste...morons.
