Bloggers Revolt on Bonner Appointment
The Porkbusters are angry (see here, here, here, here, here, here, and here). With the news that Rep. Jo Bonner was appointed to the Approps Committee instead of Jeff Flake shows that House Republican leaders can talk a good game, but aren't willing to enforce real reform.
Bonner says he wants real reform, but that's not what his website says. NZ Bear found this quote:
"One of my many goals in Congress is to ensure the people of south Alabama get a significant return on their investment in the federal government (taxes). I am here to offer assistance in helping — where appropriate — to return to the people of the First District the tax dollars they send to Washington." -- Rep. Jo Bonner
