Is just a standard payout or does he have to do a twofer, since the other senator from illinois no longer accepts earmarks.
I watched c-span this morning. John Kyle and Jeff Sessions spoke out about this CR because it is LOADED with pork, and the dem “leaders” brought it up late, with no time for debate or amendments. The US Congress has become the enemy of the United States Of America..........(hey...there’s my new tagline...)
Did I hear right on the news that the spending bill passed today included a ban on offshore drilling?
Which is why he keeps getting re-elected.
Let me first say, Dick Durbin is a scumbag and should be in prison. On the other hand, I don’t see a problem with most of these projects. There may be some pork there, but they seem to be legitimate DOD projects.
Absolutely no politician is more despicable to me than Dick Durbin. Second is Blagojevich.
The Bridge Over NoWhere. If it's getting hit by marine vessles, that must include a lot of jet skiers and bass boats.
If I read this to you and did not tell you that it was an FBI agent describing what Americans had done to prisoners in their control, you would most certainly believe this must have been done by Nazis, Soviets in their gulags, or some mad regime—Pol Pot or others—that had no concern for human beings. Sadly, that is not the case. This was the action of Americans in the treatment of their prisoners.
As Fran Eaton of http://www.illinoisreview.com has dubbed him...
...Dick Durbin, Bag-Man of the Democratic Left.
In an attempt to maintain my sanity..I am watching a re run of The Sopranos....we need “ the Ton “ to straighten out the Libs communist take over!
I believe I called Dick Turbin a scumbag (That is the worst I could call him without getting banned). I don’t think he cares about anyone but himself. I was only saying some of the projects listed seem reasonable. Having served in the military, I have a hard time arguing against upgrading living/working spaces!
Now why does his state need that much money. Why does any state need that much money.
They are just sinking us. Please whichever side of the aisle anyone is on; get rid of these crooks. That money will disappear before it ever sees the light of day.
I’ll bet schumer is worse. I’m grateful he isn’t from Illinois.
Not to mention logs and old pallets. They qualify, right?
I can't believe I forgot this. I take back my schumer comment. Dick's worse.
This also reminds me, I miss Terri O’Brien.
It worked for Rostenkowski too, But only for so long.
257 Million in earmarks for Ill.
x 50 States ( Ignoring Obie HUSSEIN’s Other 7 Caliphates)
Good god, Illinoisans. Get rid of this guy.
