got rope?
lol
This is why we are past the point where elections will fix this thing.
Don’t they know the MSM will be going over them with a scrutiny democrats never get.
We will be seeing more of these stories about Republicans taking pork home. The Dims and MSM will be sure happy to see that.
What did you expect? That Republicans wouldn’t touch the corrupting government whiskey?
ROFLMAO!
Do not put your faith in princes, be they Democrats, Republicans, or whatever. The vast majority of the time human beings (whether they are princes, elected representatives, or otherwise) will do what they perceive to be in their best interests. We need to make it in their best interests to do what is right. Vote ‘em out when they fail to do what is in America’s best interests.
Win one for the Grifter!..............
Mr. Kyl needs to get a correspondence from each of us.
Was this money already set to be SPENT in the bill, or was this additional monies added in addition to the original bill? If the former, then this is a blatant exercise of the legislature’s power of the purse.
Inhofe makes a good point about earmarks when he defends them as part of the the legislature’s directives to the executive.
Can this really be classified as an earmark?
And, no, I didn't bother to read the article ... sue me!
How bout a RINO Roast in Texas.

I don’t believe this is an earmark per se as there has been a negotiated settlement to the Black Farmers, and the “Native Americans” recently, and whether we like it or not the funding has to come from somewhere to honor the agreed upon settlement.
If it’s an earmark, then it’s one of those that Sen Inhofe was discussing a couple of weeks ago. He’s right, and so is Kyl on this one. It’s NOT pork. It’s a necessary obligation requiring funding.
This is not even close to an “earmark.”
This water right claim, in one form or another is for water rights “taken” “sold” or otherwise “transferred” away form the Indians years ago for about 10 cents on the dollar. The amount is so high because of the time passed.
PLEASE, be aware of spurious attacks like these from the MSM over the next months. They would like nothing better than to get the public to be disgruntled with the new majority early in their term so as to mount a comeback in 2012. They especially want to divide the Tea Party from the Republicans in general.
Kyl, no matter what you think of him, is not quilty this time.

Kyl’s office insists the measure is not an earmark,denial is such a ugly and dangerous thing.
Earmarks. The other pork.
“I hate earmarks... on Tuesdays and Fridays.”
Hey Jon, That little earmark just cost you two votes.
