Shocking!
We’re going to start with next Congress. You can count on us!(snort)
They’re afraid the bill will pass without enough bacon for their own constituents. They’ve got to drop that fear. They’ve got to act like adults and face up to what the word CONSERVATIVE actually means.
Or they need to retire.

...has a number of links to the earmark info. Scroll down the thread, read it and weep.
I keep saying both parties SUCK!They don’t get it do they???
I can agree with a tactic that loads up this pig of a bill with earmarks. Have a ball senators, load it up. Instead of $1.1 Trillion, bloat it up further to $100 Trillion. Or more. This could be a quite effective tactic to win this battle.
Saxby Chambliss (GA) has $41,713,000 in 41 projects in this bill.
Here are some of the programs he wants us to pay for:
-Construction of a Civil Rights Museum and Visitor Center $500,000
-Minority Energy Science Research and Education Initiative $400,000
-Peanut Research, $1,000,000
-Water Use Reduction, $1,200,000
-Airport Runway Extension at Middle Georgia Regional Airport $1,400,000
-University of Georgia, Athens, GA, for obesity intervention and prevention $100,000
-Spelman College, Women in Science and Engineering Program $100,000
I guess these D.C. criminals didn’t pay attention last election.
Soooo time for a new Conservative Party.
If Thomas Jefferson were still alive, he would take our current constitutionally illiterate elected officials to the woodshed for spending Federal Tax dollars on programs that are 99.9999% State and not federal responsibility.
If you look a most of these pork laden bills you will find most earmarks do not pass the smell test of something the federal government should be involved with.
If the politicians do not know their constitutional limits then how can we attack these non-federal responsibility items? If we go to the USSC it seems, based upon some recent rulings, American citizens have no standing.
Well if we have no standing who the hell does? Maybe time is well past for a complete overhaul and purging of EVERY branch of government so as to create a government where the citizens DO have standing.
Why cannot enough house members get together and leave DC, denying the dead-duck congress a QUORUM???
Is it true the Omnibus and Tax bills will add 2 Trillion to the deficit ?
For once the MSM serves a useful purpose. Yes, it's meant to help Democrats but I don't care. They are all corrupt. If the Republicans think I'm going to be bought off because they oppose the final passage of the bill while simultaneously adding earmarks to it (after they voted not to do so!) and add pork to the tax deal they are in for a rude awakening.
Right out of Ron Paul's playbook. Insert 'em and then vote against the bill when it will pass anyway. What a flamin' weasel.
“Cornyn said he had credibility on the issue because he plans to vote against the omnibus spending bill.” Just another politician talking out of both sides of his mouth at once. He probably knows it will pass. To the Conservative voters he can say he voted against it, and to the recipients
of the money, they thank him for the earmark and hold a fundraiser. See how easy it is to be politician. SCUM!!!!
You ever hear the term Cowboy Up?
Its so disappointing not one cowboy in all the GOP. Id expect this from the children that need and want government nannies, but the freshman GOP?
