Bite the bullet, elites, and follow the lead of the true Conservatives. (Oh, the MILLIONS in earmarks don’t amount to much, you say?) To the average citizen, a MILLION is a lot, and he is sick of your cavalier attitude about it. Your park barrell, vote-buying attitude no longer works with the tax-paying citizen. The rest of ‘em (welfare queens) are gonna vote Democrat anyway without fail.
Nice read Twinkie....
I think banning earmarks are an important step in cleaning up this mess.
As I understand it.....
They are of course used to augment various legislation providing special funding or permissions to lawmakers pet projects..securing their vote on a new draft even if they dont agree with it?....
Is it also the method by which “favors” are accounted..over time? Like an official record of favors done...like a casino chip...to be used to buy other favors at a later time?
As such “since they cant remember accurately exactly when or how they sold out on this issue or that”...these earmarks are very important to the culture of corruption in our gov.?
Anyone please correct me if Im wrong...or define this interpretation further...Im interested in this.
Thanks
