At least one former rank-and-file Obamaican is regretting his
decision.
From the
Union Leader:
Fred Tausch of Nashua is a frustrated, well-to-do businessman
who got tired of watching politicians of both parties spending
taxpayers' money. And so, spending $100,000 of his own money,
he's trying to do something about it.
In full-page ads today in this newspaper and others, in radio
advertisements and on a new Web site, the 37-year-old
entrepreneur and investment manager emerges onto the political
scene to provide an avenue for others upset about the size of
the stimulus package and likely more spending measures on the
horizon. Tausch is a registered independent who, after
voting Republican for most of his life, supported Barack Obama
in the last election, even contributing $2,300 to the
cause. Tausch said he "got excited about his message.
There was not a lot of fiscal discipline in either party, and I
thought that when Obama talked about change, he was including
that he would be more cautious about how we spend money. And
that's just not the case."
Don't worry, Fred, you aren't the only one
who got rolled.
Tausch's group STEWARD--Stimulate the Economy Without
Accumulating Record Debt--has a pretty fancy website,
too.
