Since the Iraq war started one thing has really gotten under my skin. That is
the continuous assertion that we hate our troops because we oppose the war in
Iraq. The fact that we want them home protecting their nation and not off in
some far away land fighting an illegal war based on lies shows more support for
the troops than those who wish to freely put them in harms way without proper
protective equipment.

I feel it is time to turn the tables on the Republican smear machine and
attack them with their own game. I am going to start keeping track of Republican
congressman who oppose the removal of pork in the budget, which would be better
spent on the recovery of the Gulf Coast. These will be the people who we
consider “hate America”.

The first to my list of those who hate America is Rep. Don Young (R-Alaska).
He has over 1/2 a billion dollars of pork in the recently signed transportation
bill, which includes a $250 million bridge to no where. When asked about the
forfeiting of his pork barrel spending,
Don Young
replied “They can kiss my ear!”

Congratulations Don Young – my first of a sure to be long list of those who
hate America!

If you have any tips on further congressman who are opposing the cutting
of their own pork please let me know.
