Mississippi's own Steven Palazzo loves his pork deep fried... In a disgusting and shameful way. |
From the article:
Republican Steven Palazzo used anti-pork barrel spending rhetoric and tea party backing to beat Democratic conservative Gene Taylor in Mississippi. He added $10 million to buy land to expand a National Guard facility in his district and another $19.9 million to “ship preliminary design and feasibility studies” at Ingalls Shipbuilding in Pascagoula — also part of his district.
To be honest, the TEA party doesn't really like Mr. P all that much
"Steven has disappointed us in many, many ways," said Roy Nicholson, chairman of the Mississippi TEA Party. "Although we do appreciate his vote against the compromise."
But Palazzo isn't conservative enough for the TEA Party, which backed his primary opponent, Joe Tegerdine, in 2010. Nicholson pointed to the FreedomWorks website that rates Democrat Rep. Bennie Thompson just as conservative as Palazzo.
