Republican primary was a gross waste of tax money

They chose Sen. Bob Dole, isn't that a kick? It was all decided anyway, so why hold the primary? And especially, why count the votes, since some had been opened and signatures erased, some mangled, others returned unopened because the voter had moved. This all caused overtime to be paid -- $37,183. I wonder, also, whose office they used and paid a rent of $16,884 to. Will the man please answer to taxpayers what or who he was that rented the place to them. We would like to know.

Now, if the Republicans do as they say (cut our Medicare, cut COLAs, cut Social Security), would they mind if we use this tax money we owe to pay our medical and living expenses? Seems fair to me. So why not tell the IRS to collect our taxes from the Congress. They owe us, and we want it taken care of this year.

Are you listening, Mr. Ensign?
