He is also disturbed about the way his incumbent opponent weasels his way into wasting our tax dollars while a member of the appropriations committee. The latest example is the new $164 Billion supplemental request by the administration. The incumbent wrote the legislation, then later voted against it. Reading the legislation, as Ron has done (something the congress members likely have not) he points out that most of the money has been inserted as earmarks, much more added as military weapons systems that should be included in the regular Defense budget and not inserted into a supplemental.

Based on all this, it makes it more disingenuous when McCain & co. claim those opposing it are against the troops.

Ron is an engineer – an individual that we desperately need to rein in the chaos that they call business as usual in congress. Anyone who thinks that the incumbent is the right person for the job just because he is a Democrat is either ill-informed or simply brain-washed by the big party mentality.
