Do What I Say

Not what I do. Another god-damn TeaParty hypocrite. Washington Post (04.01.10), via Hullabaloo:

"But for one important detail, Stephen Fincher could be a perfect 'tea party' candidate: a gospel-singing cotton farmer from this tiny hamlet in western Tennessee, seeking to right the listing ship of Washington with a commitment to lower taxes and smaller government.

The detail? Fincher accepts roughly $200,000 in farm subsidies each year."

For tea party, midterms present a choice between ideals, pragmatism

From Digby: "Sometimes you just have to stand back in awe of conservatives. This guy doesn't think anyone should have to pay taxes but he collects nearly a quarter of a million bucks from the treasury every year."
