Salesman Rep. Gene Taylor is supposed to be a democrat

[donsu]

he was on c-span's Wash. Journal this morning selling the new military vehicle that supposed to take road bombs better.

I'm wondering why. it's a done deal. they are being made and shipped to Iraq by air and later by ship.

so why his big sale this morning? are they part of the budget money being argued over now?

just listening to him talk I thought he was a neo con until I looked at the screen to see his name.

does Gene own stock?

1. I know what you mean.

I heard the same thing - the rat-like pitter-patter of little military industrial feet.
Our troops need to be protected but we need to get OUT of that goddamned occupation YESTERDAY.

2. Because both the Army and Marines have reduced their orders?
