Vanity: Who sold their votes for pork?

[InvisibleChurch]

Who the H3LL sold their votes for $$$ regarding the de-funding vote in the House last week? Apparently some congresmen had "values" until Pelosi came calling with a bucket of pork money to sway their vote. They are the ones who are most despicable. Grrrr.

Thank you.

Ben Nelson?

I heard that all add on pork was voted on as emergency items so no names were directly attached to specific items.

Is Nancy Pelosi and Miss Piggy one and the same. Only her butcher knows for sure.

REALLY....wow, what upstanding patriots we've sent to D.C. The most sickening bunch of money grubbing rats .....most of them should be in jail.

If you really want to know, go to Thomas and look up the text of the supplemental. You will able to tell who took the pork from the congressional district to which each pork chop will be delivered.

Such a cop out.

Heath Shuler, Mr. "conservative Democrat" voted aye...I don't know if he was bought, bullied or stupid.

IC, this is an excellent idea. As this wretched session of congress goes forward it would be good to keep up with who is for sale.

[3AngelaD]

Yes, that is an excellent summary.

Bump and bookmark.

I was hoping someone would use the line " You know, in a 3rd world country, this would have been considered a bribe!". Isn't this what Duke Cunningham and Abramoff have been accused of? Why should Duke Cunningham go to jail, and these guys get kuddo's for selling their vote?

Feel free to quote any or all of these to any congress critter or news outlet. I've sent it to mine.
