Daily Kos: Freshman GOPer wants funding restored for program he voted to cut
Ah, Republicans. So quick to vote against investing in our country and just as quick in hoping Democrats bail them out.
The jerkward in this instance is from Iowa and wants a trail line between Chicago and at least Iowa City. But he voted AGAINST a bill that would fund that line because he’d rather waste money on billionaire tax cuts and giving freebies to oil companies than to invest in our nation’s infrastructure.
He still says he wants the train line though. He just doesn’t have the spine to vote for it himself.
Typical Republican. Can’t stand up for his constituents. Won’t fight the wars they want to start. Won’t pay for any program they push, not even when it’s cash they have to put up in hard times to be paid back later. Just won’t help Americans.
I say they fund the line and run the damn this up to the Mississippi River. Iowa seems thrilled to keep bigots like Steve King, support backstabbers like Grassley, and return Terry Branstad and his murdering kid to power. Not to mention this asshat. Let ’em suffer, it’s what they apparently want.

This is the best damned explanation of the conservative agenda I’ve read in quite awhile.
Texas, U.S. Must Adjust To New Latino Majority
Cracker White Texas is turning Tortilla Brown. There is no way around this. The numbers do not lie. It should be an interesting – and potentially violent and repressive – change in the coming years. Racist Aryzona is already starting the reactionary showdown.
The GOP really needs to address their racist policies and supporters head on lest they become a permanent pariah party. Granted, they’ve been bigots for so long, there really isn’t a damn thing they can do to earn *my* vote, but for the good of the country we need more sane, rational, and respectful voices in our public discourse and, currently, they aren’t doing a damn bit of any of that. The racial-tinged hatred isn’t helping either.
