    Not all of the money came from private interests though. A significant portion came from the taxpayers. 'Fiscal Conservatism' my ass.

    EDIT: What I mean by this is that the conservatives/republicans make it such a point to be anti-all spending. One of the conerstones of the anti-kerry ideology was something to the effect of "Kerry's got all these new programs, but who will bear the brunt of this? The taxpayers." To spend this much money on a fanciful presidential parade (With much of it coming from the taxpayers) seems to me hipoctritical.
