Mike Harris Wants US Aid To Israel Eliminated.

I know.  I was just as shocked as you must be to discover that.  The enormity of such a revelation makes me lightheaded.  But there it is, in black and robin's egg blue.

DEATH TO EARMARKS - zero tolerance for earmarks.

Only one problem with that bold new step for GOP 2.0.  US funding for Israel is an earmark.  I don't fault Mike for advocating such a foolish error as cutting off funding to one of our strongest allies.  After all, John McCain, supposed foreign policy wizkidgrampa,  makes the same bone-headed error.  McCain (25 years experience in the Congress and he didn't know this shit?)  was at least smart enough to back off on his promise to screw Israel.  Too bad he hasn't backed off his promise to screw soldiers.  You have to respect Harris' policy of 'screw 'em all'.   That's downright ballsy.

(Let's get real here.  There are good earmarks and bad earmarks, and far too often that defining factor is opined based on who benefits.   But if some idjit tells you that all earmarks are bad and *have* to be eliminated, then they're lying to you, and adding insult to injury because they think you're too stupid to know the difference.  I expect the inevitable wingnuts who will attempt to reinterpret John Tester for me, even though I heard what he said and all they did was read Iverson's e-brief about it.  I strongly suggest that they hie themselves to Mike's place.  They're likely just dumb enough to be his kind of audience.)
