Johnny Come Lately

After supporting 8 years of endless war that has cost this country the lives of over 5,500 military men and women, and well over a trillion dollars of tax payer money, Sen. John Thune (R-ND) says his party is beginning to want the war's supplemental spending bills paid for.

“I think that the problem, again, is all the other things that get added on to these war supplementals, and the fact that it's not paid for. There are -- Republicans are increasingly, I think, dug in on the issue of making sure that new spending is offset,”

Offset? Why now? Oh yeah, it's because Republicans are no longer in power and want to pretend that they are fiscal conservatives. Could you imagine if any American had wanted Bush's spending bills to be paid for what Republicans would have called them?  No I can't either.
