Then again, that would require “logical consistency”, a trait completely absent from the Repubs DNA.

It would never pass. To many Liberals in the House and Senate. I’d favor it though. If it’s a worthy expenditure then it should be able to stand on it’s own in it’s own bill.

Not to worry though, Obie has pledged to veto any bill that has earmarks in it. Honestly, I heard it with my own ears more than once. “YUP”

VITTER the HYPOCRITE! TP always has the best-worst pics of Vitter – LMMAO!

I guess we have to add Obies name to the “HYPOCRITE” list.

Contradicting Obama’s language on the trail and his press secretary’s comments in the briefing room, there’s a $7.7 million earmark in the $410 billion spending bill with Barry’s name on it:

President Obama, who took a no-earmark pledge on the campaign trail, is listed as one of dozens of cosponsors of a $7.7 million set-aside in the fiscal 2009 omnibus spending bill (HR 1105) passed by the House on Wednesday.

The bill is an accumulation of leftovers from 2008 — spending measures that weren’t enacted before the 110th Congress expired. Lawmakers who wanted money for local projects in those bills were required to submit their requests many months ago, while Obama was still a senator. It’s moving through Congress now because a temporary extension of funds to run the government will run out after March 6.

Obama’s name jumps out on a list of many earmark cosponsors because he and his staff have been so emphatic about his no-earmark stance.

“Daily Standard”

so I say, take out every earmark of every complaining Rush-lican that loud mouths against it but wants their money back to there state.

After all, some of those states have Rush-lican Governors that didn’t want that liberal socialist stimulus money.

That’s a nice messy one.

This reminds me of the scene in Casablanca where Captain Renault exclaims with false indignation for the sake of the Germans, “I’m shocked, shocked that gambling is taking place here.” And then a moment later, the croupier appears to give him his daily winnings.

The Borgen Project has some good info on the cost of addressing global poverty.

$30 billion: Annual shortfall to end world hunger.
$550 billion: U.S. Defense budget

I’ll bet not.

What a hypocrite !

They must have just read the latest scores where Boehner (Boner) has 22 and Vitter has only 21 in the race to 50 in the “Stupidest Person in the World” contest…

Or perhaps for the no oversight, not even any stipulations, funding for the banks ?

And could we ask how much of the package pays for things which really needed to be done and those which will pay a dividend in the future (infrastructure improvements, education, researh…..)

Vitter, take your particular type of family values and take a big poopy in them.

Since Vitter like most politicians is horribly two faced and fairly corrupt, you would think he would stick to prostitutes and keep his mouth shut. But he didn’t. Each politician thinks his earmarks are alright, but someone else’s is not.

From both parties, they love to point fingers. They have no real or substantive ideas to offer. So disruption is all they offer.
