"Republican" Congressman Vows He Won't Take Any "Crap" About Anti-Pork Fiscal Restraint
The Party of Ronald Reagan?
Appropriations members have already vowed to fight any move to strip spending from the bill. “I’m not going to take their crap,” Rep. Ray LaHood (R-Ill.) said last week. The Illinois appropriator said he included several projects for his district and would fight to keep them all.
“They think they’ve gotten a little steam building, and we’re going to have to shoot them down,” LaHood said. He ripped RSC members this year on the House floor for successfully stripping $507 million in construction projects from a military spending bill.
Before vowing not to vote for the GOP, bear in mind that his opponents -- the ones who want to cut spending -- are also Republicans.
