Wow... I had no idea that this bill was up there...
I hate Tom Coburn, but respect the hell out of him for this one...
he speaks for the people on this issue (can't say on others)
rarely will you see anyone reject a republican push for a pork project... but this project should have never been considered...
quote: alaska "this hurts alaska alone, why do you have the right to pull money from our state?"
ahhhh, duh... cause you dont deserve to waste it, when it is needed somewhere else...
I also like how one of the alaska reps was thinking that Tom was a louisiana politician... "acting for his own district" hah... Tom doesn't
gamble... and he doesn't party... so why would he even visit there? he seems to be speaking what we are all are wondering...
why pay so much to help 50 unsociable people living on an island, when the same funds can help millions on the mainland?
in fact... why not ask those 50 people and see if they still want it... knowing what it takes away from... I bet they would understand...
the politican that promised nice bridge building contracts to his buddies wont like it though. bastard...
and a big thumbs up for the crazy cowboy from OK
