A 2000 Republican National Committee Ad railing against Al Gore for proposing new spending. It’s amazing how a few years changes everything. Just goes to show how disappointed many of us Republicans are with the way our party has gone over the past four years in terms of it’s total disregard for fiscal responsibility.

Dear Mayor Henry:
In 2009, Fort Wayne will recieve a windfall of $40 million from the City Light Lease fund. As promised in your campaign, the public will be consulted. I ask that you don’t spend a dime of that money.
Let’s say we spend that money on another huge project all at once, if that project flops we’re out the money and the reserve that could have been hundreds of millions in the future.
If invested at a conservative rate of 8% (not even close to the markets average of 12%), that money will generate a return of over $3,000,000 - so lets be conservative and use half of that to provide city services. We’ll add money to the pot and Fort …

Normally, when a business is having internal issues they either have their own Internal Affairs Department come in to fix the problem or the company hires an outside consultant to study the problem.
In the case of Major League Baseball, they were provided with a third option. A free option at that! Congress.
A congressional committiee has been investigating steroids in baseball over the past few weeks. In response to the Mitchell Report, which actually turned out to be quite useless the Congress decided to use its valuble time to work on an issue so unimportant to their constituents.
If Major League Baseball has a steroid problem, let them pay for the solution. When there …

Let me start this post by saying I hate pork projects. I hate them with a passion. I’d go as far as putting the line item veto in place to stop all those meaty projects. That’s why I have a problem with Ron Paul saying he never votes for pork.
Ron Paul touts himself as a fiscal conservative. No doubt he is, but he goes to the extreme of condemning all spending that isn’t in direct correlation with The Constitution. Ron Paul seems to be posting himself as the poster boy for the anti-Pork proponents. Surely, he would be my candidate.But Paul cannot escape his own statement unscathed.
