For Republicans, appropriators who wear the Republican jersey became a fifth column- congressmen who saw themselves as "spenders" in a party whose platform, leaders, and press releases tried to brand the party as the one dedicated to reducing government spending. The goal of the Democrats over the next year, and in the next set of elections, is to misdirect America's anger over the overspending, the bailouts, the stimulus, the budget increases, and the trillions for government health care, not to mention the trillions of corporate welfare for energy made from pixie dust paid for with taxes on reality-based energy.

Arizona Republican Jeff Flake, popular among anti-tax and small government advocates for his constant berating of any fellow member of Congress who seeks earmarks, is actively seeking an open seat on the powerful House Appropriations Committee, the body that doles out funding for special projects.
