First, there were the liberaltarians. Now this:
Richard A. Viguerie, the author
of Conservatives Betrayed: How George W. Bush and
Other Big Government Republicans Hijacked the Conservative
Cause, praised Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi for extending
the ban on "earmarks," the pork-barrel giveaways that exploded
under all-Republican rule.
"Some Republicans, like Trent
Lott, apparently still haven't learned anything from the 2006
election returns," Viguerie said. "But Nancy Pelosi understands
that voters are disgusted with pork-barrel spending. She has my
thanks and support for extending the ban on earmarks for this
entire year."
"Let the message from
conservatives be loud and clear," Viguerie added. "We are not
slaves to either party. We will support Democrats and Republicans
alike when they do the right thing, and we will oppose Democrats
and Republicans alike when they do the wrong thing. Our loyalty is
to the taxpayers and to sound fiscal policies."
