Your Tax Dollars Funding Boobs, Part Two

Thursday, July 22nd, 2004

Word out of Boston is that security for the Democratic National Convention may top $50 milion. That’s $40 million over budget (the Democrats over budget? Imagine.). You can add that sum to the $14.5 million the party gets in public funds to throw the big shindig in the first place. The DNC plans to ask Congress to write a check for the shortfall. Congress will sign off, of course. Because it’s 99% filled with the two parties that’ll be cashing the checks. The Republicans will of course get to the penny whatever the Democrats spend.

That’s almost $130 million in public funds so politicians already on the public payroll can dine on cavier and hookers in Boston and New York, and throw two gauche parties to celebrate…themselves.

Oh yes, and so they can “nominate” their candidates for president and vice president — candidates who sealed up their respective party’s endorsements months (in W.’s case, years) ago. That I guess is the intoxicating “democracy” part of the scam that’s supposed to get me all dumb, drunk, and oblivious to the fact that I paid for all those damned balloons.

Talk about adding insult to injury.

It’s not enough that I have to tolerate the policies of these two nauseating parties and their candidates.

I have to pay for their nationally-televised group masturbation sessions, too.

    Radley, that’s “self-flagellation.”

    I wonder why security is so tight at either convention? Who would want to harm our beloved polical parties?

    Now really, who would weap?

    If only they took their constituents safety as seriously as they take their own.

    Another reason to vote for me and the Palm Trees and hammock party…however please note we are planning caviar and hookers, but are shying away from a group masturbation.

    Radley Balko has a couple nice posts up. First he reams Jim Leitzen for suggesting a higher tax on alcohol

    What are you trying to do, Frank N, steal the thunder from OUR convention?!

    Now, now, it is considered unpatriotic not to support your government’s actions.

    What if I don’t like caviar. . . or hookers?

    What’s in it for a gal like me?
    Better be all-I-can-eat guacamole and shrimp. . . and umbrella drinks.

    And don’t forget the well-tanned man in white short-shorts at my beck and call.

    Hmm. Guess that’s my version of caviar and hookers, huh?

    Boston is known for its beans and molasses. And the Democrat politicians are good at suppling the pork.

    er…supplying

    And the Democrat politicians are good at suppling[SIC] the pork.

    You know who else is good at supplying the pork, MRK? The Republicans! Don’t wanna get too off-topic here, but, remember in the early 90′s when the Republicans took over Congress, running on a platform of fiscal responsibility? They lambasted the Demmycrats for being so fiscally liberal. Fine. You know how many pork items those fiscally irresponsible Demmycrats typically had in their budget? About 2000. You know how many pork items the latest budget (passed by the republican-controlled congress) had in it? 8000.

    Hmmm, seems, in the arena of pork supply, the ‘publicans have cornered the market.

    Evan. Agreed and well stated.

    I remember Newt’s “Contract with America” where Republicans proposed a CONSTIUTIONAL AMENDMENT requiring a balanced budget.

    Imagine, using the Constitution to protect Americans from irresponsible government….everybody knows the real purpose is to protect us from gays.
