NWA hopes for handouts

Interesting article in NW edition of the D-G on Benton County Republicans with hands out for federally financed infrastructure projects should the new Democratic Congress and Democratic President Barack Obama pass a spending bill for economic stimulus.

Indeed, Republican U.S. Rep. John Boozman should figure in allocations. And Benton County's support for Obama should also be properly considered. If nothing else, the county's philosophy on taxes and federal spending should be respected.

So you don't scratch my back I don't scratch yours? I thought Obama said we were supposed to come together, he was everyone's President. Keep preaching the hatered towards those that don't agree with your views Max, nice, real nice.

How's your reading comprehension skills, razorred? Just exactly where is there an ounce of "hate" in Max's post? A little too defensive this morning, huh?

Boozeman will not figure in to allocations because he's laughingly ineffective in Washington. He couldn't bring home the infrastructure bacon when he was in the majority party and sat on the Transportation Committee. There's a reason Wal-Mart went with an Alaskan congressman to get the freebies they wanted.

I support, 110% what NWA Sooner put to words. I've said it over and over.

How stupid can one part of Ark be? Supposedly the "successful part?"

Stupid when it comes to electing people. Benton County Coroner was admitted drug thief and drug addict, caught red-handed and yet refused to step down. That's what they elect in crazyLand.

Boozman = USELESS.
