Vanity - Do we know all the RINO's that put earmarks in the omnibus spending bill?

Okay, I just fired off a heated email to Thad Chocran of MS about his earmark spending... do we have a list of other "Republicans" that have spending in this bill?

I'm all jacked up on Mt. Dew!!

Glenn Beck focused on Thad tonight and being a former Mississippian, it really put me in activism mode.

Just say “All of them!”

It’s easier than thinking...

Beck showed a list of all Congresscritters who didn’t have an earmark...the list was very small. If you could get ahold of that list, it’d be easier than finding a list of who did.

P.S. A few Dems were on the list of “no earmarks” including Henry Waxman and Russ Feingold. I remember John McCain being on the list also

Well I live in TN now, and I was really wondering if TN had contributed to the pork fest.

While I think a pig is one tasty animal... I don’t believe that pig has any part in our government.

Conservatives absolutely should hop on so-called “conservative Republicans” who larded up the Dems disastrous spending bills with pork for their own districts. They need to mend their ways or be replaced in their next primary.

See you have to be careful, because MS republicans is Trent Lott. And we all know that he was just a shell of a republican. It’s time to fire these people up or send them home.

McA\Shamnesty is bothering me lately. Is this jag-off going to attempt another run for pres, or is the MSM giving him too much importance?

He’s up for reelection in 2010 so he’s going to be on his best behavior.

Actually that was McCains claim to fame during the last election. He had NEVER had an earmark attached to any bill. It made it fairly painless to vote for him considering the alternative.

Over 40% did. That's why they can't scream about "ear marks" and "pork."

The dims love it because the Pubbies are mired in the same filth that they are.

In other words, you can't throw stones when you live in glass houses!!!

Ron Paul is the Ultimate Hypocrite missing from the list. He writes in the earmarks then votes against his own “bill” knowing it will pass anyway. This is why I have about zero use for his “libertarian” thing.

My Congressman from Southern New Jersey, the dishonorable Frank LoBiondo, voted YES on the damn Omnibes Spending Craphole Bill!! He still hasn’t returned my e-mail, my -snail-mail, nor my telephone calls. I reckon the Secret Service will be round in the mornin’. I was quite angry in my messages, I guess. I hope it was worth it. I’m going to work my ass off come the next election to make sure my “favorite” congressman is replaced.

After the 1,000th time of him telling us that he never had an earmark attached to any bill, I found myself yelling at the TV. Why didn’t he use some of that “energy” to warn us of the evil known as BHO?

Something tells me the Secret Service is going to be stretched very thin in the near future. There are a lot of angry citizens out here.

I noticed that his name was missing. I wonder if it’s an oversight? If not, you’re right....HYPOCRITE!

Truth is, Earmarks get folks elected. It sucks, I know, but that is the truth.

Key to gov’t reform is term limits. Constitutional amendment to limit terms.

Everything else will sort itself out.
