From Water Taxis to Fish Food: GOP Highlights Worst Pork-Barrel Projects

Fox News: Fish food in Missouri. Bicycle racks in wealthy Georgetown. Water taxis to "nowhere" in Connecticut. These are among the 11 most wasteful spending projects before Congress this year, according to two Republican congressmen -- who with their party have kept up the drumbeat this week against what they say is excessive federal spending. The attention on pork comes as Congress prepares to raise the federal debt ceiling while pushing a new jobs-creation package that could run into the hundreds of billions.

Why is it that those in Government can think they can spend our money on their little projects. This all stems from their corruption and we can’t stand for it. We need to fight back and work to bring understanding the those who don’t know so that in 2010 things can change. Problem is that will it change? Will the Republicans learn from their lose of power and will they stay on the straight and narrow. Time will only tell but I am willing to give them a chance because they have already lost it and the Conservative movement is standing for ethics and against special treatment of special interests.

America…Congress needs to enact a “moratorium” on all spending until we have sufficiently paid down our existing debt!

Desperate times call for desperate measures…hold the pork and the legislation!

THE REVOLUTION OF THE SILENT MAJORITY!

1. GETTING INFORMED
2. GETTING INVOLVED
3. GETTING OUT THE VOTE

WE WILL REMOVE THE ‘MENTALLY UNSTABLE’ DEMOCRATZI STARTING WITH NEW JERSEY AND VIRGINIA IN 2009, INTO 2010 AND BEYOND…GUARANTEED!

IMPEACHMENT OR THE ‘ORIGINAL’ KENYAN BIRTH CERTIFICATE…IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME!

wouldn’t that be “back-home” projects…wouldn’t want to offend muslims with “pork-barrel” terminology now would we??

I’m frankly sick and tired of paying for stupid projects that do nothing other than to make them look good or support some stupid greedy special interest or pay back some donation/political favor…
