Porkulus Funded Florida Bridge Draws Criticism
Posted Tue, 05/05/2009 – 05:51 by Allen Gwinn

STUART, Florida (CNN) — The most expensive item on Florida’s list of economic stimulus projects is drawing fire from some residents and at least one public official, all questioning whether it’s needed at all.
Some residents say it’s wasteful to spend money on a new bridge when there’s one less than three miles away.

The Republicans preach personal freedom, then right bills to take freedom away. Republicans are liars and cowards, and if given the chance, they will infantilize everyone, for their own selfish, childish needs. The reason Republicans are against gay marriage, drug use, and online gambling, is because they-themselves are weak and lack self-control, so they need to psychologically project onto others by making legislation to lower everyone to their own lowly level of existence so this small minority can be confortable at the cost of suffering, lack of freedom and human rights for all. Republicans are dogs, psychopaths and are eazily out debated on all conservative issues. Conservatism is the failing ideology of history.
