Tom Harkin wants to give that radical group La Raza a half million of taxpayers hard-earned $s. If Repubs paid off their supporters like Dems, we'd propose the following more worthwhile earmarks:

>let’s fight fire with fire. I am laying down the gauntlet to the Conservatives in the Congress and the Senate -- don’t get left behind. The Democrats aren’t just building bridges to nowhere, they are party building, with our money! Let’s do the same thing. I want a museum built to honor the ‘Vietnam servicemen who were spat upon’, how about a half a million for that? That sounds fair, since they were working in the service of Lyndon Johnson in South East Asia. I let’s also build a wing on the Spat Upon Service Men Museum that also honors the contribution of the members of ROTC who today are hassled on college campuses nationwide. Heck, let’s build it right next to the hippy museum! Or how about a half a million to honor the thousands of victims of illegal aliens, who wipe out Americans every year, in drunk driving accidents and homicides -- we can build that right next to the La Raza project. But let’s not stop there. Let’s do something to really honor our side of the equation—how about a monument to honor the PATRIOT ACT? How about a museum to honor Gitmo and its role in keeping us safe! Why not a monument to The Surge—because its working too! While we are at it, toss in a couple of hundred thousand to memorialize the great deeds of the nation of Turkey in the last 50 years. (Remember those Turks risked a lot for Harry Truman on the Korean Peninsula!) A pro Turkey display -- that’ll really frost Mrs. Pelosi and Mr. Reid won’t it? They hate when you honor anything tied to a victory and pro-American message.<
