Something has to give. Campbell, whatever his other sins, most likely would vote for cutting military spending.”

OK, I’ve been quick to blast you guys for being part of the Rabid Right. So the absolute last thing I expected to see on this blog was the above statement. In this case, I was wrong.

Too many so-called fiscal conservatives selectively choose which government spedning to oppose. They are big on slashing spending for health and human services, but they refuse to deal with the reality of wasteful defense spending for fear of being tagged as enemies of the military and unpatriotic.

While I may not agree with you, I applaud you for being consistent in this case. I just wish you had said the same thing four years ago, when Bush was president.
