Did any of you hear about the fiscally conservative republicans climbing over each other to avoid

an Appropriations Committee assignment? Folks, the rubber is meeting the road. Talk is cheap, now comes action. One possibility being discussed is that the incoming Majority Leader will reduce the number of republican members of the committee to the willing. Democrats will be insane to hold a majority on the committee, but no chair. Republicans must be forced to find and cut the government waste that they campaigned on, let the hypocrites be exposed.

“Anybody who’s a Republican right now, come June, is going to be accused of hating seniors, hating education, hating children, hating clean air and probably hating the military and farmers, too,” said Jack Kingston (R-Ga.), a fiscal conservative who is lobbying to become chairman of the House Appropriations Committee. “So much of the work is going to be appropriations related. There’s going to be a lot of tough votes. So some people may want to shy away from the committee. I understand it.”

Kingston said he’s asked U.S. Reps. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., and Lynn Westmoreland, R-Ga., to join the budget committee, and was turned down by both.
