with the recent Obama controversy, it is being pushed back until 10:00 PM eastern. I've got a feeling this will infuriate me to the point of wanting to declare open season on the heads of bureaucrats.

It is ultimately the people that vote these people in. Until society as a whole changes their beleif in what a politician is suppose to be, stuff like this will never change.

Reguardless of Party I think all politicans once elected get sucked into the whole Washington mind set. I dont really think my elected congressmen do what I want for me.

Maybe try reading "Imperial Life In The Emerald City", the entire post-war "effort" in Iraq was nothing but a way to siphon BILLIONS into the hands of Republican party loyalists.

Somehow I doubt that Fox will cover that though.

Fox has covered plenty of wasteful spending in Iraq.

I would like to see a list of both Dems and Republicans who are lining their pockets with this pork barrell spending. It will give us all an idea on how to vote and which of our congressmen to contact.
