They also have the highest property taxes in the nation. SO whats your point? If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!

It's definitely not PC. But I say if you don't like it, don't play. If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!

I keep hearing you say "Raise corporate taxes". Who do you think pays those taxes. They pass it to the consumer. Do you think a big corporation is going to eat a big tax hike without passing it along to others. Come on man, I gave you more credit than that. If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!

That would be the state I reside in now. New Jersey! Imagine that. This state wanting to pass more taxes. If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!

DAMN! Thats all I can say about that. I am afraid of how much more of this we can take before the high cost of fuel really begins to hurt the economies. I think we are hanging on now but if it hits $4.00 gal I think we will be in deep shit! If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!

Unfortunately for Edwards this was not that place. When I go to a concert I want to see the performance. Not see some giant dousche politician try to swindle a few votes. If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!

So now they want more money from tobacco co's. What happened to the billions they got from them about 5 years ago. Oh that's right. They sold the money they were going be paid from them in bonds and spent the money on other bullshit. If they wanted money for health insurance why didnt they cut the pork out of the defense budget to pay for it? If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!

And you think that will eliminate the spending problem? Man you are dellusional. I dont know much about the farm subsidies. I just now looked and how much they are. You would have to stop a lot more than farm aid to help to pork spending. If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!

Look chief, I lived down there. They had the money for the damn levees. The board just pissed the money away. Louisiana is not know as being the most corrupt for nothing. If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!

I blame them also! It is completely out of control on both sides. And it is good to know you would rather piss money away on pork projects but dont want anything in our defense. If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!

No, just another list of other crap that isn't needed! If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!

For how much we used to stuff in a Chinook the crew didnt even blink an eye. I dont think you could load enough troops and gear inside and overload the thing. It was an amazing bird. If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!

Hell I think everybody sees that but doesnt have an answer on how to change it. If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!

Leaking is good. When it stops leaking is when I would worry. That means it is out of fluid. Some things leak just by design. Nothing to worry about. Now if you see a steady stream then you have problem. If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!

So if it is a D behind the name it is money well spent but if it is an R it is wasteful spending? The bill is loaded with bullshit pet projects! But to you it is money well spent? Please explain this to me. If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!

But the Repub's are not helping and are a big part of the problem. I am having a really hard time trying to support any of them. This coming from a registered R. If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!

It's fun! I dont look at heart rates.----------------I go for blood pressure. If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!

Veto on one bill is hardly a good effort on putting a curb on spending. A real piss poor record if you ask me. Here is some more pork for you in the defense budget. Plenty of of R's and D's so both are to blame! Here are some of the more egregious pork projects added to the defense bill: $25,000,000 for the Hawaii Federal Health Care Network, added by Sen. Daniel Inouye (D-Hawaii). $23,000,000 for the National Drug Intelligence Center (NDIC), added by Rep. John “Jack” Murtha (D-Pa.). This is the project over which Rep. Murtha threatened a colleague for challenging in the spring. Since 1992, more than $509 million has been used to fund NDIC, which is administered by the Department of Justice (DOJ.). Ironically, DOJ does not want the NDIC and has asked Congress to shut the agency down because the department believes the operations are duplicative. *$20,000,000 for historically black colleges and universities, added by Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) and Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.). $5,000,000 for Project SOAR, added by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), Rep. Bruce Braley (D-Iowa), and Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Tom Harkin (D-Iowa). *$5,000,000 for the United States Olympic Committee (USOC) Paralympic Military Program, added by Reps. Jim Langevin (D-R.I.) and Patrick Kennedy (D-R.I.). $4,800,000 for the Jamaica Bay Unit of Gateway National Recreation Area added by Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.). The Gateway National Recreation Area’s website describes the Jamaica Bay Unit as “a wealth of history, nature and recreation, from New York City's first major airport and coastal fortifications to a wildlife refuge and pristine beaches.” *$3,000,000 for “The First Tee,” added by House Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-S.C.) The program’s mission, according to its website, is “To impact the lives of young people by providing learning facilities and educational programs that promote character development and life-enhancing values through the game of golf.” First Tee won CAGW’s “The Taxpayers Get Teed Off” Oinker Award in 2004 for receiving $3 million in two separate appropriations bills. $2,400,000 for the Lewis Center for Education Research, added by its namesake, House Appropriations Committee Ranking Member Jerry Lewis (R-Calif.). The center is described on its website as “a unique educational facility designed to improve educational effectiveness and scientific literacy among American schoolchildren.” $2,400,000 for the Vertical Lift Center of Excellence-Institute of Maintenance, Science and Technology, added by Rep. Walter Jones (R-N.C.) and Sen. Elizabeth Dole (R-N.C.). $2,000,000 for brown tree snakes, added by Sen. Inouye, which has been a staple in the Congressional Pig Book since 1996. $1,600,000 for the New York Structural Biology Center, added by Rep. Charlie Rangel (D-N.Y.), and Sens. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) and Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.). The center’s mission, according to its website, is to “increase our understanding of the role that proteins play in disease pathways and enhance the ability of scientists to carry out advanced biomedical research in a number of areas including the new fields of structural genomics, and proteomics.” $1,600,000 for the Pat Roberts Intelligence Scholars Program (PRISP), added by Sen. Pat Roberts (R-Kans.) himself. $1,600,000 for the Allen Telescope Array, added by Rep. Anna Eshoo (D-Calif.). This project first appeared in the 2005 Congressional Pig Book and has received a total of $5.6 million. It is part of SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence), which describes the telescope as “dedicated to astronomical and simultaneous search for extra-terrestrial intelligence observations.” $1,600,000 for the development of enabling chemical technologies for power from green sources, added by Rep. John Olver (D-Mass.). $1,200,000 for the National Bureau for Asian Research, “a nonprofit, nonpartisan research institution dedicated to informing and strengthening policy in the Asia-Pacific,” according to its website, added by Rep. Norm Dicks (D-Wash.). $1,000,000 for transforming waste plastics into alterative fuels, added by Rep. David Hobson (R-Ohio). $800,000 for extended shelf life produce for remotely deployed forces, added by Rep. Mike Thompson (D-Calif.). This sounds suspiciously like a 2007 Congressional Pig Book project: $1,650,000 added by Senate appropriator Patty Murray (D-Wash.) to improve the shelf life of vegetables. *$500,000 for the Maine Institute for Human Genetics, described on its website as “blending inventive research with emerging concepts in clinical care in rural communities,” added by Rep. Michael Michaud (D-Maine). * airdropped in conference *** Way to go people! More bullshit rammed through. They bitch about the deficit but then this happens then they want to raise our taxes. I hope like hell I am not the only one who is getting really pissed about this! If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!

You missed the view from outside the circle? Hell, usually your right in the middle of it. If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!

And he is an asshole in my book just like the rest of these sons of bitchs! Stop spending! It's not that hard to do. If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!

I say to hell with them! Until they can account for the billions they already got since the storm they wouldn't get another dime from me. Louisiana is so corrupt with so much money just missing they shouldn't get anything until they figure out how to manage what they got. If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!

Yah! I hope everybody got there little pet projects funded. This is such bullshit. After reading the stuff so much of this money is wasted on it makes me want to puke. If any of us ran a business like they run the govt we would have been bankrupt long ago. How long until the American people get tired of this stuff. But all we hear from politicians is the new projects they want to start if they get elected. You never hear about how they will cut spending. I need a drink after reading this! If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!

Most hate us anyway so fuckem! If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!

Death penalty in full effect? If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!

Your right! We should look at China, Pakistan, Palestine or Iran to see how they do it. If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!
