Yo C_cK ring, what about your responsibility to the people of the US? You cannot be trusted to do their business any longer. SHAME
If the RNC wonders why donations are down, they need look no further than cr** like this.
And, thus, the chasm between conservatives and the GOP grows ever wider.
Q: How do you spell stupid?
A: GOP
And this is why and how someone like John McCain can become the ‘conservative’ candidate. Under the hood - the repubilcans and the democrats are the same product, just different brands.
“Earmarking” should be made illegal as hell. It’s basically stealing the people’s money. Everyone see’s it but the politicians don’t care. They will spend us blind and the money goes into crooked politicians pockets....or it just gets them re-elected.
Utterly lacking in principles - that is why they became the minority party.
GOOD BYE GOP
I didn't make one to you.
We're fighting the good fight and your money will help those who represent the views of the party get elected.
Tell you what, why don't you have all those 'conservatives' in Congress just make you an earmark to fund your budget. *CLICK*
I deeply miss the days when conservative meant something to those we elected.
The GOP should oppose McCain on this. It’s nothing but a cheap and easy play to try and score political points. Earmarks are about $35 billion of a $3.1 TRILLION dollar budget. If McCain wants to seriously address deficits and the national debt, he’ll have to address entitlements. This is just cheap politics. - What has he said about entitlements? Any news conferences coming up on that?
There are certainly wasteful projects that are funded as earmarks, but there are also many useful projects. Check around the area where you live and learn what might have been financed by earmarks.
Those who support the practice say that earmarks are critical in an election year to show voters how effective they are on Capitol Hill.
Funniest line I have heard in a long while.
>> Even though Republicans say the group is still attempting to take a strong position on the issue
Struggling for a way to have their cake (WE’RE THE PARTY OF FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY! HONEST!) and eat it too (...BUT I’VE GOT LOBBYISTS/CONTRIBUTORS TO PAY OFF).
Shame on them. I wonder who they think they’re fooling.
By the way, we need to rethink the RINO label. What we like to call RINOs are in fact republicans in every sense of the word... because while we slept, the republican party has morphed into something it didn’t use to be.
The GOP demonstrating why they lost the majority a couple of years ago... they have no backbone.
Of course, I am sure they are worried that if the Republicans cut off earmarks, the Dems will oppose it, and thus will have the bribe dollars to buy votes. After all, those mean-ole republicans want to cut off funding for all the wonderful pet projects for their home districts.
Bringing home the bacon has never been a bigger business...
And we wonder why our country is going broke... and the dollar is loosing value daily.
