Oh wait, pretty soon you narrow it to ONE Democrat, and even he didn't "trash white christians" as you misinterpreted it. All he did was say that the GOP is pretty much only white christians, not that there's anything wrong with being a white Christian. He himself is a white Christian, after all, as am I. But I'm glad my party isn't as monolithic as to be pretty much ONLY that. <Dabob2: Thanks for your confirmation.> I recommend night school reading comprehension classes.

Republicans will rally and return to the responsible spending habits that helped make them the majority party in Congress a decade ago, said Representative Mike Pence, an Indiana Republican. ''It is that commitment to fiscal discipline that the American people expect from Republican majorities in the House and the Senate," said Pence, chairman of the Republican Study Committee, a group of conservative members of Congress. ''We're energized and united and dedicated to get this done," said Representative Deborah Pryce, an Ohio Republican who chairs the House Republican Conference. ''It's high time that we get back in control of our spending." So far, the federal government has allocated about $62 billion to help New Orleans and the Gulf Coast recover from Hurricane Katrina and rebuild, and some members of Congress have said final costs could approach $200 billion. With the federal budget soaring past $300 billion even before Katrina hit, conservatives threatened a revolt against House Speaker J. Dennis Hastert's leadership if he didn't embrace further cuts. Besides the across-the-board reductions to all discretionary programs, Republican leaders have asked the president to propose cuts to allocations Congress has already approved but not yet spent.<<
