He understands conservatism and conservative principles for one. He is also a man of conviction... you can count on him to stand up for what he believes and not fold like a cheap K-mart tent or bow to political pressure.
You do know we do need to pay for our infrastruct....
Just shut the **** up. We need to do something about a $1.6 trillion annual deficit BEFORE we do any damn thing else. That means we're going to have to cut stuff. That means the gravy train of Liberalism has to end.
Infrastructure is paid for at the state and local level by concerned citizens who elect city councils and county commissions to levy property tax and school taxes and such. It's not a responsibility of the Federal government or a bunch of knee-jerk liberal reactionaries with a vision of Utopia dancing in their heads.
