A few months ago there were 19 amendments proposed before the House floor that would have elimated pork projects from various appropriation bills. Guess who voted against all 19? Our so-called conservative congressman (you can check out how all 435 members voted here).
Now I've worked for this guy, and he's a nice guy. Everyone knows that. But then again, it's his job to be nice, or else he wouldn't be in power. Saying you really like your congressman simply because he's a nice guy is like saying you really like the girl at McDonald's because she gives you hamburgers when you give her money.
Kingston is also a staunch defender of the War or Terror. But guess what, that's not hard to do in a red state. This is the equivalent of saying you support Sonny Perdue because he's a staunch defender of the Georgia Bulldogs.
It's time Kingston put his money where his mouth is and start voting against massive pork projects and farm subsidies. Please stop taking our money and spending it on useless stuff like new CAT bus stations that no one will use, or on extravagant subsidies for inefficient farmers who can't compete in the marketplace. Thanks for giving me that nice little line I can use on future resumes, but you're not getting my vote in 2 months.
I know you like to speak at Clan Na Erin breakfasts, Gannam Day, BC alumni luncheons, and you like to act all funny and crazy and nice in the Beach Bum parade, but how about you be even nicer by doing your job and cutting wasteful federal spending?

we can't put a liberal in there, pat. not with the war going on. the best i can do besides sending gift baskets over to our troops is vote for the people in congress who are going to do the right thing for our military, which sadly means voting republican.
Don't worry man. If a liberal ever ran in the first district, they wouldn't be able to get more than 15% of the vote.
