And you've also got this howler from National Journal's Ron Fournier a purported journalist who sees his job to bash the GOP (I've considered applying to National Journal as their "Democrat Bashing" columnist, but they're apparently not filling that position), calling the GOP "heartless" because they won't spend money they don't have.
