The shrillness, childishness, herd mentality, intellectual dishonesty and cowardice of many of these comments is quite astounding.

Jindal’s support of creationism has no bearing on whether spending for ‘volcano monitoring’ should have been in this bill… IT SHOULD NOT HAVE.

If increased spending on ‘volcano monitoring’ is need that should have been part of the regular budget process and not stuck in a supposed economic recovery bill. Just because some of you think this is worthy spending it had no place in this bill… PERIOD.

People here have routinely criticized this bill for other off budget spending but now ‘volcano monitoring’ is an exception because Jindal mentioned it and you don’t like Jindal. The level of bald faced hypocrisy show by many in these comments is scary.

Shame
