I have made numerous posts about Rep. Jim Marshall, mostly supporting his general election challenger Rick Goddard – today I make a different sort of post.
Congressman Marshall voted against Obama’s budget, breaking party lines. For that, I thank him. We have experienced enough generational theft in the past six months to last me a lifetime, and while Rep. Marshall has in the past voted for spending proposals he did at least stand up to this one.
The Obama Budget will most likely pass the Senate and be made into law, and MoveOn.org will scream and scream when Conservatives, Democrat and Republican like, oppose it.
But just a few years ago they had a different tune…
What’s so different now? Why isn’t MoveOn.org asking this question now? I, personally, have griped numerous times about Republican spending under Bush – much like many Democrats did. But now spending apparently does not matter? Shame. Shame on you all.

Spending doesn’t matter now for two possible reasons. Okay, make that three.
1. They get money now, whereas, the Republicans didn’t give them any.
2. They have egg in their face when it comes to their own party.
3. All of the above.

Ron: I just noticed this post and I say that you are “fair and balanced” regarding Rep. Marshall and the Georgia congressional delegation. You hit him when you feel he is wrong and acknowledge his actions when you feel he is on the right track.
I wonder of the Obama supporters in Macon are monitoring this or do they just play attention two weeks before election.

SharkGirl:
I feel you are right. And that it’s a cycle of spending. Thanks for commenting.
