If you can't get what you need, switch parties?

A Texan, to be sure, but still....can you believe this?

"This is the first time, I've just been zeroed out," he said in a telephone interview. "I've always said that if being a Democrat hurt my district, I'd either resign, retire or switch parties."

"And it hurt my district this time," Hall said of his requests for road projects and about $13 million in funds for the University of Texas at Tyler.

House Appropriations Committee Chairman Ralph Regula "wouldn't give me what I was entitled to simply because I was a Democrat," he said.

...Regula, an Ohio Republican, "wasn't giving any of the Democrats anything," he said, referring to spending in their districts.

Other Democrats have also complained that Regula said he would kill funds for projects in their districts if they opposed him on bills he was pushing.   article

Well, there you go. Don't change things so that being a Democrat doesn't keep you from getting what you're "entitled to" - just become one of the ones who doesn't give people what they're entitled to.

President Bush welcomed Hall, a long-time friend of the Bush family, to the Republican Party.

Well, of course he did. God, what a stinking pile of sh!t the Repugs have become. And Mr. Hall, you stink, too.

"He is a well-respected leader of the highest integrity, and a tireless advocate for the people of Texas," the president said...

That's what the Oaf calls integrity? Well, now I see the problem.
