    this week on the floor of the U.S. Senate. A Republican and a Democrat Senator: DeMint of South Carolina and McCaskill of Missouri, are going to offer an amendment to a bill that would require a two-thirds vote of the senate for any pork (or earmark, as they like to call it) spending to be approved.

    Meanwhile on the Campaign trail. Hillary and Obama are crowing that they will personally co-sponsor the bill. :eek: WOW!

    Now consider their records so far on the 2008 Budget.

    Hillary Clinton: 212 earmarks totaling $266 million.

    Barack Obama: 53 earmarks totaling $126 million

    John McCain: 0 earmarks totaling $0.0 million.

    Staggering huh?

    thats why I hate F'ing riders. When they dress up an "Act" and call it, say, the "Patriot Act" it has 1) some good stuff in it 2) a bunch of useless crap that they throw in cause no one can vote against the "Patriot Act" without being called unpatriotic. Drives me nuts.

    Yeah but the people and paty sponsering the "Act" was gonna vote for it anyway. The "Earmarks" are really a bribe on one end leveraging an ego boosting 2 million dollar monument to congressman Bob in his little home town of podunk. For the establishment of national security.

    Or Extortion, "Hell if we get attacked and it is on your watch its your ass not mine" "You got to make it worth my while"

    It all depends on what side of the Earmark you are on. And the people that do not vote for the "Patriot Act" are a bunch of un-patriotic fucks that should be shot for treason. :)
