They did what!?
Apparently our monetary problems are a big deal for the GOP. Recently the GOP House Judiciary Committee (which is tasked with upholding justice in the federal court system) voted to place the motto "In God we trust" on 9000 federal buildings. I'm not even sure the cost of this expected project (it can't be cheap), or if it will actually happen, but the fact that this body of government, dominated by "fiscally responsible" representatives would consider it and then vote on it shows how hypocritical and undeserving of our support they really our. I'm truly embarrassed to be a Republican today. I'm so sick of this crap. They get elected, promise they are going to change this country, rail against the opposition party for unnecessarily spending money on their projects, and then go and do something like this. EVERY STINKING TIME! Republicans, be ashamed, of your representatives today.

I'm not happy that we're in another war either.
There is a reason that many of the men I voted for did not get elected. This whole business of "Well, the Democrats messed up last time; I'm going to vote Republican now (or vice-versa)" is nonsensical. Both parties are equally full of less than desirable politicians. In fact, there is the problem, politicians.
I wonder how people would react had the idea been proposed, and then they decided not to. My guess is some people would get angry and call Republicans immoral and godless hypocrites.
THIS is the problem with politics- you can not please everyone. If the GOP's main voter population is the conservative evangelicals, then they probably made a smart political move by assuaging their desires.
From a fiscal standpoint? Not the best choice.
the problem with most who hold political office is just the fact that they got elected disqualifies them for the job... most.
Remember that one of the qualifications to be a politican is to have the ability to spend money. (Note that the adjective "well" is not attached to describe how the money is dispersed). As with all of politics, it's not who isn't spending money but who is spending less money.
