What a warped, misguided sense of priorities.

Stop the bombing in Libya, Yemen and Somalia for one thing as those are not even funded yet Congress passed over $600 billion in defense spending just this week. That $600+billion would go a long way here in the US.
I have no problem with doing that. Foreign aid and being the world's policeman are definitely down on my priority list.

I think McConnell is about to offer raising debt ceiling thru 2012 without any spending cuts, as long as Obama takes all the ownership of the plan. Interesting.

I love the way folks just make up non-existent stuff in the Constitution.

A bet that more of them won't be around come voting time when compared to other 'groups'? Also that some of them are more easily 'scared' by this kind of BS.

Really sad...
