Hot Shot of the Day - Do Not Trust GOP on Spending Cuts

Best shot across the bow of the GOP in a while is by Kevin Williamson on National Review Online. The piece shows that the GOP, in the guise of Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell, have not thrown off their wayward ways. McConnell talks the Conservative talk, but promises millions to his constituents in the form of major pork. The GOP needs to humble itself and return to the ways of it's not-to-distant ancestors, those not willing to sell America's future for a few votes. The Republicans have no right to complain about spending when they have been as guilty as anyone else. Here's my favorite part of Williamson's op piece, the big ending with a wry smile:

Now, I think every household in America should have a Raytheon laser Gatling gun on its rooftop, right next to the Democrat-subsidized solar panels. In fact, a Raytheon laser cannon that runs on solar panels sounds like an awesome bipartisan project, and I want one. But we can’t afford it. You want to cut spending, Senator McConnell? Ask an intern to print out that list from your website, and take a deep breath.
