Comments on: The “Immaterial” Number Grows http://bluecrabboulevard.com/2007/11/14/the-immaterial-number-grows/ Summum nec metuas diem, nec optes - Marcus Valerius Martialis Thu, 19 Apr 2012 09:00:56 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 By: FedUp http://bluecrabboulevard.com/2007/11/14/the-immaterial-number-grows/comment-page-1/#comment-71110 FedUp Wed, 14 Nov 2007 22:15:36 +0000 http://bluecrabboulevard.com/2007/11/14/the-immaterial-number-grows/#comment-71110 Kevin, Kevin, Kevin... put down the Kool-Aid! You want to talk about waste and fraud?? Check out all the 'ear marks' added to HR3043 "2,274 projects so far in the Labor/HHS portion of the bill worth $1 billion" just as one example. Look at the chronic waste and fraud that our Congress perpetrates on a daily basis. They are so busy hating the current administration and playing politics that they can't even get bills to the White House on time. Almost a year in office and what do they have to show for it... and that goes for both democrats AND republicans! Kevin, Kevin, Kevin… put down the Kool-Aid! You want to talk about waste and fraud??

Not the best reflection on the site. And just for the hell of it - any chance of the nine or ten BILLION dollar bills that have gone missing in Iraq being mentioned? Newspaper stories have been written - the deficit has been acknowledged. Nobody seems to know anything. Where is the outrage? I'm not trying to be an ass - I really do wonder why conservatives seem to conveniently ignore the horrible waste and fraud that has been perpetuated during this war. This post isn't liberal or conservative - of course the D.C. mess is horrible - but where is the fiscally conservative outrage when we are being ripped off on a much grander and infuriating scale? As a gesture of peace I won't even mention the Haliburton overcharging and bill padding scandals which amount to a hell of a lot more than the D.C. mess. Oops.

DC voters ask questions? This is just indicative of why DC shouldn't have voting representation in Congress - the voters keep returning the same criminals to positions of responsibility (um, a certain convicted crackhead whoremongering tax evader currently sitting on the DC City Council comes immediately to mind).
