Can somebody help me out here? I don't understand how this can be claimed? Isn't the whole stimulus bill earmark after earmark?

It depends on what your your definition of ‘in’ is. There are earmarks ‘on’ the bill, written on the paper, but they aren’t embedded in the paper..

No, seriously.
They've "redefined" what an earmark is. Doesn't matter that they haven't told US what that extremely narrow definition is.

By THEIR definitions there ARE NO EARMARKS!

Now, shut up and drink the koolaid.

Obama doesn’t lie ... technically, it’s called jive talking.

The entire Porkulus is an earmark. This is just why Carter was such a failure.

They must’ve come up with a new term for earmark. Maybe Barry is more sensitive about his ears than once thought.

There isn’t any earmarks because it’s an earmark bill. An earmark on this bill would be something that normally would be it’s own bill.

It’s backwards thinking for a backwards President.

This guy Gibbs is so FOS! I would like to punch him in the mouth everytime he uses that phrase, “We want to put money BACK in people’s pockets.” He’s a damned liar. He and his “messiah” want to put MY money in OTHER PEOPLE’S pockets.

He can’t lie with a straight face, he looks like he wants to burst out laughing but is holding it back. No earmarks, almost the entire package is filled with pork, what’s the difference, earmarks, pork, still garbage
