Think so...I certainly would never go to the stadium...but then I am not a sports fan, so that is pretty easy...
Problem is that people speak out just for the sake of speaking out...even if the spending isn't actually wasteful. People speak out for the sole reason that the other party came up with the idea. That's what really stinks about politics today. -----Original Message----- From: Sam [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, October 19, 2010 2:23 PM To: cf-community Subject: Re: FW: Republicans who criticized stimulus wrote letters seeking funds You cave too easily, so if you are against using public funds to build a stadium and the stadium get's built with your money anyway you need to stay out or get labeled a hypocrite? It actually the thing that stinks the most about politics, you should be allowed to speak out against wasteful spending, but if the money is being given out against your will it should still be spread evenly and fairly or not at all. We all have to pay for it in the end.
