Just say no and yes and then say no. They’re talking amongst themselves. They are against ear marks, then they propose them, then they say they won’t back their own legislation. They’re confused, and we voters are not.
Michael Moore is right; they’re sickos.

“Republican senators say they'll vote against their own earmarks
By Philip Rucker and Paul Kane
Washington Post Staff Writers
Thursday, December 16, 2010; 12:00 AMThe port city of Pascagoula on Mississippi's Gulf Coast wants to build a beach promenade, with new benches, lush landscaping and a lighted pathway for joggers, cyclists and dog walkers.
So the municipality of 24,000 hired a pair of Washingtonlobbyists. The city shelled out $40,000 a year, according to public records, to retain Jeffrey Brooks and Wayne Weidie. They are former top aides to Gulf Coast congressmen and frequent donors to Mississippi's elected officials.
The lobbyists parlayed their connections and know-how to secure a $900,000 earmark for the beach promenade development in the $1.2 trillion spending billintroduced this week in the Senate. The earmark was one of hundreds sponsored by Mississippi's two Republican senators, Thad Cochran and Roger Wicker.”

No doubt, Republicans are two faced liers, cheats, deceitful, and dishonest thieves. No honour or self worth. Poor sports and sore losers.

And in breaking news, Republican Senator Jim DeMint has withdrew his demand that the START Treaty be read into the record. (I think Harry Reid told DeMint, he'd have to read it.)

Obama, " I promise that there won't be a single piece of pork in the entire stimulus package." Earmark, $1.7 million "for a honey bee factory" in Weslaco, TX, $475,000 to build a parking garage in Provo City, Utah, $200,000 for a tattoo removal violence outreach program that could help gang members or others shed visible signs of their past, $300,000 for the Montana World Trade Center, $1 million for mormon cricket control in Utah, $650,000 for beaver management in North Carolina and Mississippi, $2.1 million for the Center for Grape Genetics in New York, $332,000 for the design and construction of a school sidewalk in Franklin, Texas, $2 million “for the promotion of astronomy” in Hawaii, $1.7 million for pig odor research in Iowa. The package also includes an insurance exemption — but only for companies that work on recreational boats longer than 65 feet. Another provision would lift a Medicare regulation affecting only three long-term care hospitals in the country. There’s also language requiring the Transportation Security Administration to buy 100,000 uniforms from U.S. apparel makers. Then there’s $198 million to compensate Filipino World War II veterans for their service. Most don’t live in the United States. Finally there is Obama's 2009 Omnibus Appropriations Act. The earmarker of all earmarks. Which has 8,500 earmarks totaling 7.7billion. Those damn Republican schizoids can't hold a candle to Democrat schizoids.
