Don Young is the earmark king. No one should have believed his initial pledge to vote against them. The guy’s a loser.

Rep. Joseph Cao, R-La., has requested projects totaling more than $500 million for his district. Cao needs another invitation to go drink beer and watch football with 0bozo I would imagine. This guy is has about as much morals as a female alley cat.

But its OK because President Obambi said he would not sign any legislation containing earmarks.

Tough to verify that claim. Link for Paul goes nowhere. Other link goes to PDF file but neither Texas or TX appear.

I do not know what they are yet, but the KING of earmarks, (that he is against), is sure to have plenty. He is not the king for no reason.

Can’t be the Great Ron Paul. Must have been a typo in the article...

All three should be booted ASAP! NO Exceptions!
If they can lead by example, then they are of no value as a maximum, and a big negative value as a norm!

That is definitely the biggest surprise here, I wonder what Ron Paul is requesting?
This is from an interview with Cavuto:
CAVUTO: But are you saying, then are you saying, then, Congressman, that the moneys that you appropriated, whether for the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway, the Texas City Channel, Wallisville Lake, the City of Bay City, that rehab center that that’s money in the aggregate that you would have called waste?
PAUL: It’s the kind I don’t vote for, because I don’t think the federal government should be doing it. But, if they’re going to allot the money, I have a responsibility to represent my people.
If they say, hey, look, put in a highway for the district, I put it in. I put in all their requests, because I’m their representative.

State of Washington Bureau: Reps. George Radanovich, R-Mariposa, and Devin Nunes, R-Visalia, are joining most of their GOP colleagues in shunning earmark requests this year. Although they say they will help local officials secure grants.

Yeah, boo to Ron Paul. Shows how little I know about him. I figured he'd be the last congressman to request earmarks.

When Paul says "But, if theyre going to allot the money"....who is the "they" he's referring to? In one sentence he says he doesn't vote for them but in the next he says if someone wants $$ for his district he puts it in. WTH???
