Will teabaggers be against fixing the Washington Monument?

[sixmile]

"Not on the backs of our children and our grandchildren!"

[nadinbrzezinski]

1. I just hope that is a facing stone

(cheap relatively speaking to fix) and not hiding any structural damage.

[onehandle]

2. It was because of idiots like them, that the monument was almost never completed. nt

[bikebloke]

3. Let the Monument pull itself up by its own bootstraps.

How dare anyone deprive billionaires of money that rightfully belongs in their off-shore accounts.

[randr]

4. If God wanted it fixed he would not have broken it

[Cool Logic]

5. Are you kidding me? The equipment costs...getting to it...

will cost more than the actual fix.

[Skip_In_Boulder]

6. They will probably demand that it not be fixed and

in fact tore down because it reminds them to much of a penis. Which causes them internal conflict.

[Monk06]

7. Only with matching cuts to the Federal Budget.

[sixmile]

8. Where's the Job Creators™?

Let them fix it.

[Uben]

9. What we should do.......

...put a big marble Obama head on it and call it the Washington Obamument.

[mikeytherat]

10. "Not one thin dime for repairs on Washington Monument unless offset by spending cuts!"

11. It can only be fixed if the spending is balanced by cuts to "entitlements." nt

[Warpy]

12. Teabagger types are why it took so long to finish

and why the marble sheathing is a different color toward the top.

They'll probably just order the crack filled with bathtub sealer and leave it at that.

[Supersedeas]

13. they will demand offsets in the form of Entitlement Cuts

[Tesha]

14. Two words: "Duct tape!" (NT)

[sixmile]

15. Two more words:

Tax Cuts!

[itsrobert]

16. Spackle and sand paper

should fix it right up.
