WhaaaAA?!? -- Repunks Starting To Rebel On Bush (Budget)?

Now if THIS doesn't warm your hearts -- if it's true -- I'm not entirely sure what is short of a few perp walks:

It isn’t hard to understand why few in Washington are taking President Bush’s proposal to kill or cut 154 programs very seriously. Just listen to members of his own party.

“It ought to be expanded, not eliminated,” Arizona Sen. Jon Kyl says of aid to states with imprisoned criminal aliens, a $300 million program Bush wants to eliminate.

“We’ll fight it with everything that’s in us,” Pennsylvania Rep. John Peterson says of the president’s plan to end vocational education subsidies running $1.2 billion annually.

“It does a lot of good, it reaches out to young people,” Ohio Sen. Mike DeWine says of a $2 million program Bush wants to erase, this one supporting teaching about the underground railroad for escaped slaves.

Kyl, Peterson and DeWine are all loyal Republicans.

Oh, MAN, if Reid and company can drive some wedges through this ...

3. They're motives need not be pure

They can do it for future votes. As long as they're fighting the Bush Co. it's all good.

Things that piss off Bush = a good thing.
