Dear Republican Bashers: It is one thing to promote biking and anything to do with biking on this list, but to now expand your little tirade which began in the middle of last night, has no call on this site. Maybe you should debate: "How many Republicans can Dance on the Head of a Pin?" EW [email protected] wrote: As much as I'd like to firmly apply the "superhighway socialist" label to Boehner, he actually does have a record of trying (and failing) to eliminate the federal highway pork that is the main culprit behind our so-called "crumbling bridges and highways" that got a $16 bil bailout from congress last year. He also opposed the automaker bailout, though that opposition may have been partially an effort to oppose requiring automakers to invest in "green" technologies.I believe anti-bike comments like this are exemplary of the primary fault with conservative thought: Nobody, not even a conservative, is going to support cutting government services that benefit them - so that means the primary victims of the conservative pruning shears have to be minority groups that lack the political power to remove conservatives from elected office. It is quite ironic that stripping government benefits from minority groups has become the mission of a party that was originally founded on a platform of granting benefits to a minority group.-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Bikies] Republicans: Bike paths are not infrastructure From: "Michael D.
