From the party of “small government” and “fiscal responsibility”:

The Homeland Security Department spent more than $90 million to create a network for sharing sensitive anti-terrorism information with state and local governments that it has decided to replace, according to an internal department document.

The decision was made late last year but was not announced. It was outlined in an Oct. 27 memorandum that listed the network’s flaws and asserted that DHS’s counterterrorism, immigration enforcement and disaster management missions were hampered by the proliferation of more than 100 Web “portals” that provide poorly coordinated information.

How many billions have been wasted by Bush, yet the Republicans go out and brag about their fiscal responsibility? And they wonder why the real Republicans won’t even get out to vote for them.
