Lost Opportunities

The Republicans blew a real opportunity to help reform ear mark spending by electing Rep. Jeff Flake (R-AZ) to the Appropriations Committee. Instead, they appointed a cronic spender like Jo Bonner from Alaska.

There are only a few really good guys like Jeff Flake in Congress and the Republicans snubbed him. No wonder the Democrats control congress. They cannot make a good decision to save the GOP.

Robert Bluey writes a good piece today from the Heritage Foundation. Also check out the Citizens Against Government Waste website (see recomended websites on the right). I am sure they will have a hey day with this appointment as they campaigned hard for Jeff Flake.

I guess my letters to Tiahart were of no help....again.
