Who doesn't think this is a Rovian tactic to bring Fed contracts and money and jobs to the red states to buy some votes before November.

Time for Peter King and Hillary to bring out the charts showing how much tax dollars flow into the Fed coffers from the blue states (NY, CA) and how much return they get compared to the proportion of dollars from the RED states and what goest back to them. Basically, the blue states are paying for the red states and being hated for it.

3. Ahhh...yes, but increases for Florida and Tennessee
Now let me see....Fort Lauderdale and Orlando get increases? Hmmmmm......and WHO is the governor of Florida? :sarcasm:

Oh, and let's not forget an increase for Memphis.....and WHO is the senator from Tennessee that wants to be President?:sarcasm:

You bet the Republicans are buying votes at the expense of true national security....

and New Yorkers have every right to be angry.:grr: :grr: :grr:

4. This is as simple as you can get...
DC is bright, bright blue. NY is only 2nd to Mass. in state blue.

Of COURSE they're pandering to the red states. You live in Kansas City? Of course you're gonna get money....after all, the terrorists have always had their eye on KC.

Yeah, I know....a co-worker brought up the fact that Bush & Cheney are in DC. So?? They'll both know when an attack is going to happen...either MIHOP or LIHOP, they'll burrow down in their caves.
