I find it best to ignore sensationalist sentences such as the bolded above. The blame game is not serving us well. The public servants on this committee I trust are doing their best to represent the public, and balance competing needs in economically difficult times.

'A house committee is debating an end to a three-decade long subsidy for mass transit -- originally started during Ronald Reagan presidency -- by ending guaranteed funding for public transporation. Loss of federal support for mass transit will make it much more difficult to serve anticipated mass transit needs of America's cities. Similar to the way roads are funded, this support for capital investment in our communities is critical to our ability to create transit options in dense city centers.'
I don't agree with President Obama on mandatory funding of abortions by religious health-care providers, but I don't think he's 'evil'.
I don't agree with Senator Santorum on banning abortion, but I don't think he's 'evil'.
